[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Much of this seems more like sexual attraction than “deeply in love.” [/b]I hear the latter phrase used mostly by people who have left their first spouses for someone new, though, so maybe I’m jaded.

I'm surprised that is what you're reading into it. I feel like that is not it at all, it has almost nothing to do with sex. Sex is more a manifestation of it or a way to feel it in a more undiluted way but it is not sexual attraction.

It is just feeling 100% at ease and at one with another person. I feel completely accepted and completely accepting, and it is much more that those things are in the way I think and communicate and act than between the sheets.

I think what you are describing is initial relationship infatuation, that is a cousin of this feeling but not the same thing.[/quote]

I was also surprised by the earlier comment. I feel super lucky to have met my DH and like others, I don't like to talk about how in love we are because no one else really gets it. My SIL mocks how affectionate DH is towards me, but her marriage was openly one of timing - I think after feeling what I've felt for the DH...I could never go that route. It's not just the sex, but it's this bond that you can't shake.

I almost never talk about my marriage but tons of people say to me how happy we seem to be - which thankfully is true. It might simply be that I never say anything negative about my DH. Also, the fact that he seems to really enjoy playing golf with me (and I'm lousy) amazes my GF's and I'm sure his guy friends.
