I was wondering what that one thing is that everyone misses even though they are in a good relationship / marriage... ?

I Miss:
Not having him (my husband) give me more of his time and attention... verses the time and attention he always seems to be able to give to other things.

I know her problems, and I know it'll take time for them to be fixed. I have accepted what is going on, yet the wait is killing me. I really miss the intimacy, not just the sex part, but her wanting to hold me, kiss me, cuddle, need me, talk to me, etc. Someday I know it will be better, and I know it's worth the wait.

I miss.. the "newness" and excitement that you have in the beginning of the relationship.

but who doesn't??

I miss the thrill of dates, waiting to get together on a special night and sharing new experiences. Sometimes I find it hard to balance work and life when I'm living with my partner, it can seem like there is never time for fun and romance.

I spent some time on my own and I miss that ! I miss not having to tell someone where I am and what I am doing. Having to cook a dinner at a certain time.

rhapsody, have you ever told your hubby how you feel? based on what you posted i think he'd want to know.
the other thought i had is that nothing stays the same...a relationship evolves over time just like everything else. i think it's wonderful that you know you are loved. maybe your hubby would be willing to put a little romance back into the picture if he knew how you felt.

I miss the attention too... in the beggining when I was new and interesting to him he wanted to know all about me. Now that he feels like he does (he doesn't) my opinions and personal quirks aren't as interesting to him.

I miss the effort he used to put in to make me feel wanted. Telling me I'm pretty, holding my hand. It's like he feels like he's got me, and doesn't need to put in the effort.
