I been married 20 years and I think we both go through that now and then. Then something will happen that we see in each other and it will fire up again. You have almost made it a decade so just give it time, it is normal.
See this is a situation why people cheat, you miss excitement but you also would miss your partner. In an ideal world an open relationship for a while would surely suit both parties but everyone on here seems to think the idea of it is appalling

your relationship has probably lost that "honeymoon" phase. ya know, where you're just finding out about each other and all that, always being complimented etc.. to try to "win you over". now that you have each other, you likely forgot that you can certainly "lose each other", right?
If you miss being in love you're in the wrong relationship. Time isn't the problem, the real issue is between you and your SO. Communication is key, a therapist could help.
It happens, but that's the thing about love. We get comfortable with each other and just go on with our lives, forgetting the feeling. That is why we need to find ways to spice it up a bit
Errr I'm pretty sure that's normal. You could always break up and date other people for many years and see if I'm wrong. You can do an experiment! Let us know your results
I think it's natural missing that feeling of first meeting someone and the excitement you have getting to know eachother. Do you think of other guys when you're alone?
It's normal. You've known each other for so long that you've got used to him, which makes him less exciting than before. However, you can try to spark that excitement again.
Let me guess. you're w8ing on him to start flitrting and all that. maybe, if u feel like ur distancing from him, you could initiate the flirting instead

Yes, it's like have a dog for many years, but missing the puppy stage.

Thanks for the encouraging words. :)
;) ;) :)
That's amazing to hear that you guys are still fighting for each other/choosing each other!
Ty, it is really tough at times we are always together in the end. Hopefully you two will do the same
Not married yet but hope to be someday! Just looking for those inspiring couples who testify it's possible to stay together just not easy
If you don’t play games and both of you are honest that will be what you need

I’d encourage you to seek help as a couple you can still feel excitement in your relationship years on if you both put that effort in
Idid when i was married because u was not in love with him. Now that I'm in actual love, no i don't miss flirting one bit.
It's normal. Find new ways to feel excited around him, but don't expect to be all butterflies and roses and don't ruin what you have.
7 years? Damn girl you're lucky. I've been told I'm lucky it lasted 4 and usually it lasts 3 MONTHS. FORGET YEARS!
MOST PEOPLE IT ONLY LASTS THREE MONTHS LOL
It's normal. Being single could be fun and relationships take a lot of hard work. But you don't give up unless you don't love him anymore.
If you miss being in love you're in the wrong relationship. Time isn't the problem, the real issue is between you and your SO. Communication is key, a therapist could help.
7 year itch?
I wouldn't know personally but maybe try to spend some time apart (a solo vacation possibly) then see how you feel.
You two are basically losing the spark. Find something new and exciting to do and rediscover each other, else it'll just get worse.

Thus why most of the cheaters are women. Or... that most divorces are introduced by women.
Lol what
@Imasumna Don't worry I'm just shit posting to see if anyone got triggered.
Uuuuu.. uuuu... uuuu 😂😂😂😂
I'm in a long term relationship and I still do both of these things.
I’m married, and I don’t miss being in love because I still am! I admit, I do still flirt sometimes, but it doesn’t mean anything.
