Default ~Butterfly Feeling~ Do You Think it Fades With TIme Even If Love Doesn't
Hi ladies and gents!!! I have noticed that some very wise women who ARE happily married, or are still in love with their SO's tend to think that wanting the butterfly feeling in the pit of your stomach all the time is unrealistic because it fades. I am curious to know, what do you think? Does that pitter patter of your heart skipping a beat as butterflies flutter in the pit of your stomach fade or stay?

I've been with my DF for 4 years and I still get the butterflies when I see him. There have been hard times where it fades for a bit, but it always ALWAYS comes back ten times stronger.

I've been with my DH for 12 years and married close to 6 1/2 years and the butterflies never really went away. Especially when he has been on a business trip and I go to pick him up from the airport. I feel like I did when we first started dating!

AWWW!!! Aren't you guys the cutest!!! I am a hopeless romantic and I feel the same... DH and I gave been together 8 years and married for 5 (our 5 year is in March) I still get butterflies when he smiles at me, and my heart skips a beat when he kisses me. I feel EXACTLY the same as when I was a 16 year old kid and I told my mom I was in love, if anything now the feeling is STRONGER!!!

IME, the "butterfly" feeling morphs into something else -- more like a "warm glow" feeling.

It comes and goes, when we used to see each other on a more regular basis I would definitely get the feeling more often, now with work, and going long periods of time without seeing each other I think I get more of a comfort kind of feeling from him than butterflies.

We still have the butterflies, but not as often. What we "lost" was replaced by comfort, understanding, and true love. But luckily we still get those butterflies, and there are times when we just have to have each other.

We've been married for 12 years and dated for 4 years prior - the butterflies don't go away, but what brings them on can change. Watching him interact with our kids and being such a great Dad, the feeling of pride when he accomplishes an important goal and is so happy, and of course the precious moments we have alone.

My feelings for my SO never fades. The butterfly feeling morphs into a warm fuzzy feeling and it feels good!

Almost 20 years! My DH can still give me the butterflies.......sometimes it's a certain rumble in his voice or when he makes me laugh.

I like this and agree.
Have been married 11 years in Nov, with each other for 15. And even though we don't get that "I cannot eat or sleep" thing anymore (thank God) I do get excited especially when we are apart for a while.

I think it can wax and wane with time. It faded for me for a while, then came back, then went back and forth. When it did go away, it turned more into a feeling of warmth and comfort, as others have said. Now that we're long-distance, I definitely get more butterflies thinking of him! We've been together a little over 5 yrs.
