| I think he's took annoyed by my weight gain to have noticed any signs of aging, if I'm being honest. |

| I am a woman and I assume my husband notices me aging. We are 41 and met at 24. I don't notice him aging day-by-day but I see the difference when I look back at pictures from our 20s or early 30s. It has only been somewhat recently that I have really noticed. He hasn't aged poorly or gained weight, it's mostly a hint of salt-and-pepper in his hair and a generally older looking face. |

Not true for some of us. 53 and holding very strong...so strong that my nephew's 30-something wife is running around telling everyone quote "X looks f**gg 35!!" I haven't met an exercise instructor or new person that thought I was anywhere close to my age. I've been asked for my license to verify!! |

^ I haven't hit menopause though and my older sister tells me that's when things go south quick. She just hit it at 57. |

DH says I am “aging gracefully” which I suppose is a nice way of saying he notices.
He has more of a gut and some hyperpigmentation on his face that’s pretty aging (he’s not white). |

Congrats to those with spouses who are aging well. Not the case here.
Wife got down to 175 after the pregnancy, which was a comfortable weight for her height/build, but she's tacked on at least 50 since (she stopped telling me a number, but she's now a size 18). Skin is going to hell too despite more products that I care to think about (mid-40s). I gave up the hair fight and just trimmed it close, but I'm as good as bald. Got up to +30 pounds over my comfort zone, but have cut half of that off. I haven't been hit on in 15 years. |

Some of you husbands sound wonderful.
I SO hope that you voice your appreciation of/desire for your wives. It might have a very powerful effect in their self esteem and your relationship . (I respect you for being mature!!) |

Of course we both notice, things are not as firm as they used to be. But we are both in good--or in DH's case better--shape than when we were younger or in the little kid years. We both look fit, healthy and attractive, for our age. I am younger and tend to look a little bit younger than my age which is hugely surprising since I am so fair and grew up in the california sun . My mother successully drilled the importance of sunscreen into me I guess. . Dh looks like a good, very fit version of his age.
what i'm curious about is this--when I look at a very attractive 28 year old man, I am not 'attracted'--he looks like a kid. But a hot 40 something ? I'm alert. But when DH looks at a hot 28 year old woman, I think his reaction is different  .

Np. What kind of question is this? Is the dh not aging? Unless your spouse dies we all age! |
