But when I'm away from her, I feel antsy and I want to call her, see her, anything.

This is not a "wow I love my wife" post. While I'm feeling good and all that, I'm also feeling a little destabilized by this level of emotional reaction. I was hoping someone else would have chimed in and said they know what I'm going through.

Maybe you were right the first time. My brain is probably broken.

ShinyGuy....Shut the HE** up .......Get off the computer.......and give your wife a call RIGHT NOW & tell her how much you LOVE, APPRECIATE and ADORE her. You are one of the LUCKY FEW, who managed to keep the sparks going through 20 years of marriage. DO YOU HONESTLY KNOW HOW MANY DIVORCES THERE ARE EACH YEAR.

Do the research.....Stop going crazy over this.....and thank the man upstairs that you are married to a women that you still love. LOVE IS UNEXPLAINABLE. ENJOY IT WHILE YOU CAN.

And during that whole time, she never got annoyed or naggy with me. Not once.

I just got to enjoy being with her all over again. I just wanted more of her as time went on. Maybe that's what happened ..

It's the only thing I can think of right now.
Oh my god, just SHUT UP! SMH!

No really, is this some kind of joke??

I called. She was busy. She's going to call back in 10-20 minutes or so.

I swear, it's just like a new romance or something.

First, the negative: keep in mind that anabolic steroids are synthetic male hormones. So you definitely are having some effects - but how much it's influencing this behavior is the question. On the other hand....

As many have pointed out - just go with it. Tell your wife what you've told us - that you're turned on and the spark has rekindled, you're hearing bells and seeing fireworks when you're with her and that you feel like a kid again and you're so madly in love with her you are afraid you're going to smother her. Tell her that.

Children moving out of the house can do that to/for a couple. Freedom to be yourselves, privacy, and the luxury of not having to take care of anyone else can let that flame reignite --- and it sounds as though she's loving every minute of it. She's not rebuffing you or pushing you away (from your descriptions), so I'd say she's as turned on as you are.

Relax and enjoy each other's company for as many days and years as you have left on earth.

It means Shaking My Head!

If there is a woman alive who wouldn't enjoy that, I tell you straight out she is a lesbian.

Shiny. Find a way to bottle that feeling and spread it around.

And now, go find that lucky, lucky woman and ....

I just want to feel her next to me.

I want to have sex with her all the time, but it's not just that. I want to have her up close to me as we're lying in bed just so I can feel her skin against mine.

I know she's been enjoying it. But at some point she probably won't care for it too much. Then I texted that I missed her. At that point I wondered if I'm going overboard. I feel now like I need to be careful not to smother her. So I haven't texted or spoken to her all day despite a burning urge to do so. This feels a bit disturbing because I feel ultra vulnerable now.

WTF is wrong with me? Have you guys gone through this? I googled, but all I could find is people asking how to get a spouse to fall in love again - presumably because they can't stand each other.

How sweet and I can truly relate. Sneakers is gone so much working when he is home we are always touching skin to skin. Either lying in bed or holding hands or sitting next to each other on the loveseat, even in the car while driving we are touching and always hold hands when walking into a grocery or department store.

Ok, I'm going to be speaking with her on the phone soon. I'm pretty sure I know what I'm going to tell her. But if you were her .. what would you want to hear? What would you want to hear from your SO?
