If you’ve been with you s/o for years, do you still feel something when you kiss them or does it feel “empty”??

I know feeling butterflies and things like that is usually stuff that you feel in beginnings of relationships but idk, when I kiss my partner I just feel NOTHING. If that makes sense? Anyone else? … I feel like I’m falling out of love but I just don’t know anymore. I’m craving passion but even when he tries I don’t feel anything

I feel this way now. But I’m 7 weeks PP and we’ve been clashing. Otherwise beforehand, I still felt everything. During our relationship we’ve fallen in and out over again. At the end of the day we both know it’s a decision we make so we always make it through & just accept that’s how we feel when we feel it 🤷🏻‍♀️ definitely sucks but worth having the convo with your partner as sometimes they’re feeling the exact same way. Atleast that opens the door to conversations about working on it or separating if that’s where it goes

Depends on the kiss! But generally I still feel things.

I mean- you said it- you think you are falling out of love. And that’s ok. It happens. I would recommend maybe trying to figure out what was the thing that got you to this point to see if it is something you want to heal/fix or if you think it’s time to walk away. And if you do walk away there is nothing wrong with that- sometimes relationships just hit their natural course and it’s better to move on… just depends on what you want.

I have to be in the mood for it. It’s normal for there to be periods without feeling in love. The love you feel will change over time. Love is active, it’ll go away if you don’t nurture it

I don’t get butterflies anymore but I still very much enjoy kissing him/him kissing me

If you think you’re falling out of love with him then that’s completely understandable, but don’t base it off a kiss! Depending on the kiss, I don’t get butterflies with my boyfriend & we’re only 6-7 months in. If it’s a regular peck, I get happy but definitely not that first kiss experience.

I get butterflies when he’s around still and I still get all geedey. When he kisses me I get butterflies and I happy. We’ve been together for 11 years, we’ve been together since freshmen year of high school and I’m still in love with him as the first time I saw him that will never change. Falling out of love is ok, my husband and me went to marriage counseling and it helped a lot. Now we talk about our feelings and our relationship and make sure we’re on the same page.

I never had butterflies. Lol

Ohhhh I still feel it. Definitely. Even when he slides his hand over my ass or hugs from behind or gives me a shoulder squeeze, when he has his hand on my lap. And his hand is always on my lap if he’s sitting next to me

I’ve been with my husband almost 11 years. I still feel all the feels and get excited when he comes home from work like a teenager 😂. If I didn’t feel it majority of the time well… I wouldn’t be married.

35 weeks currently and I’m head over heels in love with my boyfriend. He’s my best friend and my favorite part of my day is sleeping next to him cuddled up. Yesterday we bought matching xmas pajamas and he cherishes the ground I work on. We definitely had our rough patch but not while I was pregnant, that was like a year and a half ago.

^ I’ve been with my boyfriend for almost 4 years and to answer your question, yes. Yes I still get all the butterfly feelings & I get excited for his texts/for him to come home everyday & to spend time with him.

Ugh literally the night after I posted this, I felt a little spark again. And it sucks because I just started crying and I couldn’t work up the nerve to try to explain it😭 I miss it so much and I love him, I’ve just been feeling so much doubt.

Love my husband. Love my kids. But…

I’m 32 weeks pregnant with twins. I take care of my 4 yo, 2 yo, and 1 yo. I barely have energy to stand anymore. I cuddle and watch movies with my kids all day at this point. My husband is less pushy in this pregnancy in wanting to be touched or love up on me. But I feel more like a tool these days more than ever. He gets frustrated (not to a crazy degree) but I can tell he huffs because he’s probably sexually frustrated from me not wanting to be touched on. (my boobs are super sensitive atm) I love having the babies part, but the pregnancy also now has me feeling like a baby making machine. And a tool with big boobs made for touches and my husbands pleasure. Ofc I love my husband and kids, but with my hormones all wack, it really doesn’t feel the same when you’re not turned on. It’s so hard for me to get turned on. I’m uncomfortable all the time in my own body. Babies moving in there all the time. My children cuddle me all day but get rowdy at the end of the day, so I end up getting touched out and I can get irritable when my husband tries to touch me affectionately. He doesn’t have the tact necessary for me right now, when I wish he wanted to go in for a normal comforting hug I’m let down more often than not, there is almost always a boob groping involved as well. I tried to just let him touch me last night so he could get it out of his system, but he could tell I felt tense. Wish my boobs weren’t such an uncomfortable place for me to be touched. Idk why I’m making this post. Probably just to vent. Wish men were equally as emotionally intelligent as women. Wish I didn’t feel like I still owe him something because he’s picking up a lot of the house load and yet I still need to ask him to do more before these twins arrive. He’s tired every day when he comes home, so he takes a shower sometimes works out, and helps get the kids to bed. So it’s a struggle getting him to help any further than that. Weekends are my only time to get to him. But it’s a struggle to find time on weekends too. I know if he wanted to he would. But there’s just no drive.

Maternity leave Employment rights?

I have 6 weeks left of work and they have completely changed my job spec including my job title and all my responsibilities, they have done this ahead of advertising my maternity cover apparently to fit business needs which I am fine with but i explained as long as it doesn’t effect me before I go. They have now turned round and said they want me to do the training for it before I go and want me to sign a variation in contract asap. Are they allowed to do this? I thought you had the right to come back to the same job within 26 weeks and I haven’t even left yet and they’re changing it? I was going to see what the job was when I got back and go from there but now they’re wanting me to sign this change in contract before I go I don’t know what to do, do I have to sign it ?

Is it just me?

I’m 35. I have a 21 month old and i’m 5 months pregnant. I have no friends. Everyone has either drifted away or ghosted me. I don’t know what i’ve done but i’m so lonely now. My best friend of 20 years has ghosted me and i’m heartbroken. I’ve tried to reach out to other friends but never get anywhere. I don’t know how to make new friends. I honestly just feel so alone.
