The more we live together, the more we love being together.</p> <p>Plus, he totally coddles me now that I'm carrying this baby, lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-more-or-less-loving-now-than-when-you-first-fell-in-love/page/2#post-587509 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 14:37:52 +0000 sarac 587509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Together for 11 years, married for 5. I'd say more loving, just due to how bonded we are after all that time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-more-or-less-loving-now-than-when-you-first-fell-in-love/page/2#post-587507 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 14:37:19 +0000 blackbird 587507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>More.

So I was genuinely curious.</p> <p>But at the end of the day, if it's something that makes your partner feel loved... I think it's worth doing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-more-or-less-loving-now-than-when-you-first-fell-in-love/page/2#post-587438 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 14:23:36 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 587438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: good save! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-more-or-less-loving-now-than-when-you-first-fell-in-love#post-587431 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 14:22:47 +0000 Smurfette 587431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: I agree with this. All about how you were raised. DH was raised to open all doors for his Mom and grandma, and still does it today for me. I love my Southern Gentleman :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-more-or-less-loving-now-than-when-you-first-fell-in-love#post-587430 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 14:22:45 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 587430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: "Do you help him to the car too?" &lt;&lt;&lt;&lt; BAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH. Ok, the fact that I cracked up laughing when I read this definitely means I need to work on my understanding of gender roles/equality. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-more-or-less-loving-now-than-when-you-first-fell-in-love#post-587427 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 14:20:56 +0000 MrsTiz 587427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: Yes to this x1000. My dad opens car doors for my mom, my sister and myself. DH 's family was not big into manners and not at all into chivalry. DH has absolutely no manners, and the more I am around his mom the more I notice her doing the same things, or allowing FIL to do them. A lot of my frustration with DH is exactly that..I emotionally need certain things because to me they signify love and respect, but they just aren't even on his radar. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-more-or-less-loving-now-than-when-you-first-fell-in-love#post-587426 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 14:20:44 +0000 mrbee 587426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: Well if it's part of your love language, then he should do it!! Good job training him! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-more-or-less-loving-now-than-when-you-first-fell-in-love#post-587415 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 14:18:58 +0000 anonysquire 587415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: that's cute! I always forget to let him open the door when i get out of the car, so that's my fault.</p> <p>@mrbee: No, no, it's a man thing. He's a man and bigger so he's supposed to be more steady. It's all in the law of physics maybe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-more-or-less-loving-now-than-when-you-first-fell-in-love#post-587414 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 14:18:55 +0000 MsLipGloss 587414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: . . . the clouds! :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-more-or-less-loving-now-than-when-you-first-fell-in-love#post-587412 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 14:18:17 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 587412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: Awww thanks. We definitely consider it our real anniversary, as it's the anniversary of when I took my head out of... well, you know... and saw what had been in front of me for so long! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-more-or-less-loving-now-than-when-you-first-fell-in-love#post-587407 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 14:16:50 +0000 mrbee 587407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: Ah we didn't get that much snow in Virginia growing up, so that wasn't really a thing for our family! Do you help him to the car too? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-more-or-less-loving-now-than-when-you-first-fell-in-love#post-587397 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 14:14:08 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 587397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: congrats ya'll! 7 year date-a-versarry haha...love this! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-more-or-less-loving-now-than-when-you-first-fell-in-love#post-587396 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 14:13:56 +0000 MsLipGloss 587396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: my DH still opens the car door for me and offers me a hand when I am stepping up or down. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-more-or-less-loving-now-than-when-you-first-fell-in-love#post-587393 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 14:12:45 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 587393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: this. </p> <p>I strongly believe that oftentime you have to show someone how you expect to be treated! I did this when DH &amp; I first met, and he caught on quickly. I also treat him how I expect to be treated, so that it is not one sided.</p> <p>He is equally if not more affectionate. We've always had a very (outwardly) loving relationship. We HATE PDA but in our own privacy, he is super duper sappy:) and we've been together a total of 3.5 years but have known each other about 7. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-more-or-less-loving-now-than-when-you-first-fell-in-love#post-587383 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 14:10:12 +0000 anonysquire 587383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Maybe we just have a icy driveway but he holds my arm and steadies me til the car and then opens my door. I've slipped way too many times so now I make him do this.</p> <p>Now that I think about it, this has so much to do with how people are raised. I was raised with my dad always helping my mom to the car and opening the door and other mannerly stuff so I'm shocked when DH doesn't automatically do it. But his family is so dysfunctional that they never would have taught him basic manners. I guess he should be thankful I'm there to teach him ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-more-or-less-loving-now-than-when-you-first-fell-in-love#post-587377 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 14:08:24 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 587377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We celebrated our 7 year date-a-versary last night. We've known each other for about 11 years. We've been married for just over 3 years now. I feel like we know each other so much better, our communication is rock solid and there is a certain ease that comes with time that makes it feel like we're very very tuned in and know how to make each other happy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-more-or-less-loving-now-than-when-you-first-fell-in-love#post-587371 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 14:06:50 +0000 travelgirl1 587371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He loves me more now : ) He seems to love me more since we had A, he tells me how amazing I am with her at least once every day, which is lovely to hear. We've been together nine years and married almost two. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-more-or-less-loving-now-than-when-you-first-fell-in-love#post-587366 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 14:05:07 +0000 mrbee 587366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: I've never heard of helping someone to the car... I must have missed that day in school!</p> <p>How does it work? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-more-or-less-loving-now-than-when-you-first-fell-in-love#post-587354 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 14:01:37 +0000 anonysquire 587354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, almost 3 years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-more-or-less-loving-now-than-when-you-first-fell-in-love#post-587353 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 14:01:21 +0000 anonysquire 587353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A bit more, but only because I've had to train him. Like: "Hey there is snow outside and ice so why don't you help me to the car." then eventually he catches on and offers without me asking. I don't mind training him. But it would be nice to have someone who is just naturally aware of things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-more-or-less-loving-now-than-when-you-first-fell-in-love#post-587276 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 13:25:09 +0000 Alivoo01 587276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely more, and we've been together for 7 years! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-more-or-less-loving-now-than-when-you-first-fell-in-love#post-587197 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 13:04:19 +0000 MsLipGloss 587197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're not all over each other like we used to be, but he is more loving than he was. Besides, he makes me laugh like no other! We've been together for 6.5 years and married for 2.5 (BabyGloss is almost 6 months). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-more-or-less-loving-now-than-when-you-first-fell-in-love#post-587189 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 13:02:09 +0000 BoogieBea 587189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband has always been loving but I think he is now also more caring and attentive than before. He is youngest of 3 so he can be quite spoiled sometimes. We've been married for 6 years now and together for 9. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-more-or-less-loving-now-than-when-you-first-fell-in-love#post-587188 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 13:01:18 +0000 Smurfette 587188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Been together almost 5 years and I would say it is about the same. A little more now since I think he is doing all he can to make we feel better about myself right, since I feel huge. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-more-or-less-loving-now-than-when-you-first-fell-in-love#post-587170 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 12:56:28 +0000 Bao 587170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: I know...still a bummer! </p>
