I think his love has grown, and he is more loving but he also has gotten more comfortable with me, so maybe he isn't as charming? AKA farting on me is now funny. It goes both ways though, I am probably not as charming as I was in our early dating days. We have been together 3 years.

I think more loving; but in part I say that because he does more “showing your love” type things for me now than when we were first together and just having a blast, and because he loves LO so much he just seems more full of love in general. I feel like we have an even deeper, more loving bond since having LO.
We’ve been together for almost 7 years.

Well, we're more comfortable now so maybe he acts less loving, but he has stood by me through some rough times, recently, so I'd say he is actually more loving. We've been together about 5 and a half years.

Definitely more loving. He says I love you multiple times a day and does so many things that make me feel valued and appreciated. Although he isn't romantic (flower buying, gift giving, etc) but I'm okay without the romance.
We've been together for 4.5 years.

We've been together for 5 years and I would definitely say more. @Bao: and same on the charm! hahahaha !

@Bao: LOL, this exactly!
More "in love," but less lovey dovey. We've been together for 14 years and met when he was 17... so he was doing all of his teenage wooing at that point.

We've been together for over 10 years, married for over 7. He is more loving now but does less things to show it. He totally spoiled me in the beginning with presents and attention and actions (he once went to CVS and bought all of my shampoo, conditioner, etc etc and refilled everything when they were all running low!) and I always warned him that he shouldn't set the bar so high. He claimed it wouldn't be a problem because he'd always spoil me as much as he did in the beginning. As with most things, I was right
I guess we started out with really strong infatuation and he was a very romantic guy who spoiled me constantly. Now we have a really strong love and he still likes to spoil me, but doesn't always think to do things like he used to

We still love each other the same. Our flame has probably sizzled a little but we still are in love. We've been together for 9 years, married for 2.
cantaloupe / 6800 posts
I would say less. He makes it feel that way at least. We've been together for almost 4 years.

@Bao: I mean, I know he loves me..but he just doesn't show it very well.
hostess / wonderful grape / 20803 posts
I think he's as loving, but he shows it in different ways now (ie, we're not making out 24/7 like in the olden days!) We've been together for 12 years, married for 3.5...baby is now 9 months old.
wonderful pomelo / 30692 posts
More, definitely! Although we're about to have a baby so I'm sure things might change.
Been together 9 years.

16 years, we have been together since we were 14/15. I don't think we truly understood what true love was back then. Plus I'm comparing a horny teenager to a man. I know that he loves me dearly and hold me dear to his heart. He's even gone to battle with his parents for me. So, I'll have to say, even though we're not all over each other, he more loving towards me now than before. Plus, after 16 years, I still have SO MUCH fun with him and he makes me laugh like no other.

He has always been super super affectionate--constantly tells me how much he loves me/appreciates me. I think that has gotten greater over the last year, and especially since LO was born. He's just so happy as a dad and with our family and he makes sure I know that. We've been together 5.5yrs, married for 2!

More, but he shows it in different ways than in the beginning. More meaningful ways, I might add. We've been together 5 years, married for 3.
wonderful pea / 17279 posts
Over 3 years. About the same. He wasn't really into PDA and now it's practically nothing.
GOLD / wonderful coconut / 33402 posts
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.

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.
GOLD / pineapple / 12662 posts
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).

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.
admin / wonderful grape / 20724 posts
@anonysquire: I've never heard of helping someone to the car... I must have missed that day in school!
How does it work?
cantaloupe / 6630 posts
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.

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.

@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.
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

@anonysquire: this.
I strongly believe that oftentime you have to show someone how you expect to be treated! I did this when DH & 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.
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.
GOLD / pineapple / 12662 posts
@anonysquire: my DH still opens the car door for me and offers me a hand when I am stepping up or down.

@Mrs. Jacks: congrats ya'll! 7 year date-a-versarry haha...love this!
admin / wonderful grape / 20724 posts
@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?
blogger / pineapple / 12381 posts
@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!
cantaloupe / 6923 posts
@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.
@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.
admin / wonderful grape / 20724 posts
@anonysquire: Well if it's part of your love language, then he should do it!! Good job training him!
cantaloupe / 6800 posts
@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.

@mrbee: "Do you help him to the car too?" <<<< 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.
GOLD / wonderful coconut / 33402 posts
@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
