Do you still fancy your DH?

And if so how do you keep the romance going amongst the madness that is day to day living with kids, work, etc?

I still fancy him when I really think about it but my libido is somewhere sub-pavement level most of the time, so difficult to say.
However, we are currently ttc and it's not a struggle to have sex with him (apart from keeping DS out of the way, of course!)

We are not romantic, we both get the giggles when we try. Therefore we don't have romantic time as such, just good times together (and with DS).

TheBoysMom · 12/11/2009 19:33

Yes!

We have been together 15 years.

We have been married 10 years.

We have four sons, the oldest is 7. Our boys are incredibly hard work, but we make sure we take time for US. We still 'date'.

The best two things for me are when dh and I make love it sometimes strangely feels like the first time and when we are apart and I think of making love with him my stomach flips all over the place.

Yum!

SausageRocket · 12/11/2009 19:41

Yes

MannyMoeAndJack · 12/11/2009 19:50

Yes.

We are on the same wavelength. It's not an 'effort' to be with each other and we don't have to work hard to make our relationship work, it just does. I often wonder what would've happened had I not met my dh...

I have a friend who thinks that 'many men can be your dh' but I'm not so sure...

zebramummy · 12/11/2009 20:07

come on - some photos please!! everyone here is claiming to have gorgeous dps but from what i can see passing by me on the average british pavement ... can you not just say that you are absolutely bloody infatuated and it is in the eye of the beholder??

Would you like him in full Number one blues, desert combats or full NBC gear ( with gas mask) - he still has it all in the loft!
I've just realised I'm actually pimping my husband .

He's not perfect - he has weird frog like feet ( which our daughter has inherited) and he's got a wonky nose from a car crash many years ago , believe it or not that car crash saved our lives, we were due to be on the Herald of free enterprise ferry the night it sank.

He's gorgeous to me though.

MamaLazarou · 13/11/2009 12:46

Yes, definitely. He looks like Duncan James but with better hair and a lovely hairy chest. he is FIT (sorry, zebramummy). I honestly can't think of anyone more gorgeous and desirable.

We are expecting our first baby in January, so I have no idea if the romance will still be alive this time next year!

daftpunk · 13/11/2009 12:54

zabramummy;
would never put photos of dh on here...or my dc....have had photos of me on here (sometimes....)

don't think it would make a difference anyway because beauty is in the eye of the beholder....i'm not good looking at all..(even in the dark) and always look scruffy.....but dh thinks i'm beautiful.....that's all that matters...

ILYM · 13/11/2009 13:46

Yes,
Been together since I was at school(19 years now!)
2 Dd's later, youngest just starting GCSE's - eldest off to uni next year,
Gets easier as they get older .
Looking forward to doing all the exciting things we couldn't do b4 dc's as had them fairly early on in relationship
Total soulmates

ILYM · 13/11/2009 13:49

Actually been together 24 years!! Married 19 years - time flies so fast -

  • love new emoticon!
SkipToMyLou · 13/11/2009 13:58

We're closer now than ever, probably because we've both been through some pretty heavy issues the last couple of years. We met 14 years ago and were married within 3 months, I've loved him since the moment I set eyes on him and he still makes me go all wobbly and giggly. But maybe because he knows what foreplay means pgrin]. Oh and he's cute even though he's a bit rounder than he used to be. Can't wait for the kids to leave home so we can do all the stuff we couldn't earlier, I was pregnant by our first anniversary!

SkipToMyLou · 13/11/2009 13:59

WTF is a pgrin]? , obvo!

lolapoppins · 13/11/2009 15:32

Nope, not at all. Been together 8 years, and tbh, it was him I liked, not his looks so much, but thats not enough. I feel really bad about it actually. I would never, ever chaet on him, but it feels a million times worse when I see men in the street or whatever and think phwooor. I wish I felt that way about dh.

GirlWiththeMouseyHair · 14/11/2009 14:20

it comes and goes, I always appreciate how attaractive he is but whether or not I physically fancy him is completely tied into how close we are/whether he's done the washing up/whether we're getting on/if he does what I tell him

I've just come out of a spell of just not communicating and therefore not fancying him as much as I usually do, but we've booked a trip to Paris, had much more sex the last week and I literally can't keep my eyes or hands off him at the moment

Been together 5 years, married for 3 and have 1 year old so I know it's still early days compared to some!

CLOVER81 · 14/11/2009 17:01

Yes especially when in uniform Be it greens , deserts or mess kit lol

SandyChick · 14/11/2009 22:13

Yes, Yes, Yes!!!

He's my best friend. We have lived and worked together and would spend 24/7 with each other if we could. We have been together 7 years and he's just getting better and better with age.

He's been deployed for 4 months so i'm enforcing a clothes ban at home when he gets back. I may let him wear his uniform tho- well his cap anyway Only 11 day to go

Pinklett · 19/11/2009 21:41

My husband is very good-looking but it does nothing for me anymore since he´s done an unpleasant personality change since we had our 1st, 4 years ago and then moved country, and is almost permanently stressed and angry.(May I add to HIS native territory, so I have had to deal with the heeeoog culture shock, not him!) I feel like I´m always walking on egg shells as even the slightest testy comment will flip him into Mr Hyde´s less violent 1st cousin!
The result is that I am disillusioned with relationships and men in general and was beginning to think that 90 percent of marriages must head this way (after 6yrs, 10yrs together).
Reading this has made me think, WOW, there are some decent men out there after all!
Good luck to all you happy wives....I´m envious as hell, but resigned to "stick it out for the kids" Ho hum...

TippyTumbles · 19/11/2009 22:39

YES most definately YES! 13 years (12 married and 2 kids counting) fit body, handsome looks (Dave Grohl lookalikee) YEESSSS i'm happy and i fancy him

Ooooh yes, I do!!!! We got together when I was 18...am 37 now and still fancy the pants of him, always have and always will (must fess up though, in that we split up a number of years ago and are no longer together).

So, more of an 'I still fancy my (ex) DP'

ladylush · 20/11/2009 10:03

Yes my dh is gorgeous - won a model competition a few years ago as well.

ladylush · 20/11/2009 10:04

Pesky - does your exdh feel the same?

peskykitty · 20/11/2009 10:42

Yes ladylush, we still really fancy each other....I have never really fancied anyone else.

We split up for a whole host of reasons but that 'phwoar' feeling has and will, I think, always be there on both sides.
