Just wanted to excess my feelings somewhere! (I already tell DH constantly.)

I just love him so much. Today he came home and just chatted so much, and I was so happy to hear all about his day and his thoughts. (If I could crawl inside his mind and live there, or occupy the same physical space as him, I would; that would be perfect intimacy for me.) He is so smart and kind and thoughtful and handsome, and is always trying to be an even better partner to me (and he succeeds!) I feel incredibly lucky to be his wife.

What are some things you love about your DP?

Let’s see what kind of physique you like

Well that picture is what I don’t like, that’s for sure!

Physique? Not really given it much thought. I don’t tend to see the physique as a separate feature when I’m attracted to someone or not. Ie I couldn’t be attracted to a particular type of physique if the person himself was a tit.

but if I had to say…. It wouldn’t be a bloated looking and rather short looking 53 year old.

But if be floats your boat (and the woman he has a roll around with in a hotel) then…. 🤷‍♀️ each to their own.

But posting a photo of your husband just wearing shorts…. Well let’s just say you should have a put some kind of warning in your thread title, along the lines of the threads in Sporners corner

Okay, so nothing I could have posted would have made you agree with me because you’re not physically attracted to men. But yet you still chose to go out of your way to insult my partner. Says a lot about you.

Also he is 5’9, which is average for where we live. I am average height as well. Maybe you’re some Amazonian who needs a 6’5 tower of a man (or a particularly greedy short woman ?), but I don’t care about height much, long as he’s taller than me.

Do you clutch your pearls at shirtless men on the beach, as well?

@Nevertea You're right, of course. The oxygen of publicity and all that.

Oh of course.

Ok, I’ll do the same.

Hide and forget about.

At the risk of some moderator team action, this is OP. Hello again.

Since this post, long story short, I went away for a two week work trip, met someone, and came home with a long-distance emotional affair. It made me realize there were some problems in my relationship: mainly, that DH and I don’t have many interests in common, that we don’t talk as much as I’d like, that we don’t have a tonne of time for romantic activities (What couple of busy parents do?), that we feel we already know everything there is to know about each other and have lost our curiosity…Anyway, we’re working on it. The affair is behind me.

It just made me realize how much I do really need friends. I think I’ve spent so long with DH being my only source of companionship that I’ve got my wires crossed, so that any time I’m getting to know someone new with similar interests and spending time with them, i’m susceptible to developing feelings for them. I need to figure out how to fix that.

I hope all goes well with you in the future. Having friends is essential and may give you a new perspective about your relationship going forward. There is obviously something 'missing' in your life , whatever that may be and I hope you find it x
