Anyway, the answer to the OP is YES! She 's been away on a conference for 2 days now and Ive had to sleep on the couch because the bed is just too damn big. I can hear every sound in the house. I mean WTF is wrong with me? Cant wait to pick her up from the airport tonight!

I get like this when my husband is gone! I never sleep in our bed when he's away.

I will admit that I do like some quiet time, but going to bed at night without him sucks. There's nobody next to me, nobody to chit chat with before I fall asleep and no kiss on the forehead before he goes to work.

When he's in China it is worse, because I can't even talk to him but once or twice a day.
Usually he calls me througout the day or I'll call him when he's home or on a domestic trip...just short little "hello's", but I miss that when he's 1/2 way around the world.

Butterflies or not, there has to be something that bonds you to your mate.

The negative stuff about money and divorce etc happens to some people - they're the ones who married the wrong individual.

Then again, maybe lots of people are missing out?

I've never been one to subscribe to the view that there is only one single person out there for you. Let's be honest, if that were the case, almost everyone would be with the "wrong" person since you can't meet everyone. More like there are many people you can be compatible with. That doesn't mean that some are maybe a better match than others though, so it could certainly be possible for some people to feel "goosebumps" being married for 10 years and some not and they all stay married.

Or did that fade over time and you are now just with them due to the negative financial effects from divorcing. Or stay with them for the kids reason?

I am still madly in love with my wife. I also still find her to be the most beautiful and sexy woman walking the planet. This is after 10 years of being together. I love how she always smiles and comes to greet me with a big hug and kiss whenever I walk through the door. I also love that she STILL has the most amazing better-than-kim-kardashian-and-vida-guerra backside. No kidding, she has the best a$$ Ive ever seen.

So, to answer your question again, YES!! I am still very much in love with my wife and still get excited to see her.
