Who is still attracted to their partner after a long marriage?

I'm a new poster 🤣

He'd just be pleased that I still fancy him Galaxy .

Pleased to hear it Smileless you had me worried.

fancythat; if the op is not genuine,then who is it?And what on earth do they gain from answers??

The thing is Delia that journalists do pose as ordinary people on certain sites. They then harvest the answers and create an article out of them. There's at least one of these a week in the Daily Mail lifted directly from Mumsnet or sometimes Reddit.

Questions from an unknown poster of a rather personal or intrusive nature are viewed with suspicion for that reason. I have learned this the hard way.

To the OP, 😂😂😂😂

It seemed an ok sort of starter question, i’m really surprised at the responses. Perhaps I haven’t been around here long enough to be wary. I will answer the question … I don’t fancy anyone in that way at my age of almost 80, so no but I do love him. We got married in 1967 and we have had our bad patches but we survived.

Hope you are not gathering info for an article though!

Well I for one cannot see a problem with the new members post. She says she is new to the group and is then shouted down for asking a question! I don't understand some.of the 'beef' with it! Is there a law that states when you are a new poster you mustn't ask what some would view as an intrusive question

So to the question being asked I have chosen to answer it.

Yes I see my husband as a part of me, my soulmate.

😀😀😀😀

I always suspect that it's research by a student, so they can produce a dissertation - in this case something like "Grans don't fancy their husbands. Discuss." If it's genuine, then I apologise to the OP.

What are these people doing. Research, journalism, wind ups.
Sago well put. Even I’m beginning to spot these posters who suddenly want intimate details from GN.
I think my response will be MYOB .

Exactly so

Welcome OP.
I cannot say that I feel the same way about my husband but he is my rock and at my age I am not out there shopping for another one.

As a widow - I want to be neither a purse nor a nurse for another man!

I am more interested in those tall, handsome actors in the Turkish dramas I watch!
Psst, don't tell DH.

Oh! I was just settling down with popcorn….

I've fallen in love with a man in the Gillette advert

At my age - at your age??

Is it a kind of voyeurism?
Hoping to be swamped with titillating stories?

We’re going to Tenerife at the beginning of April just for a week but I really don’t know what clothes to take. (I’m not much of a traveller!) I’m sitting here in a thick jumper and jeans and can’t seem to get my mind round summer dresses and shorts. Help!

Apologies - seem to have jumped on another post!!!

Bali Bey !?! (Burak Ozcivit is the Turkish actor) total yum!

Watch the press- bet there will be an article about this somewhere. They go to great lengths, some of these journos.

I have gone off him, Grandmaofone. I prefer Baris Barkan and he can also act! 😍

I don't see a problem with the question, I think it's one that troubles a lot of people at our age. After a long marriage and when you are so close, how do you keep up the "spark"?
I'd love to hear from others on this.
Apologies to those who find it too intrusive

The OP's name and then subsequent question is a bit too convenient.. maybe she should explain it?

Yes it would feel more genuine of the OP came back.

Marydoll I agree.

Years ago I used to love to see films with a young Omar Sharif in them.
