Original Reddit post

I recently saw a post that said “when a man is in love he is obsessed with her, she can’t deny it and everyone around them can see it/feel it”. Assuming this statement is true, is that a feeling that stays consistent in long term relationship or how does love change? I have been withmy husband for 10 years, married for 5 years, and soon to be having our first child. Is it realistic to expect a man to stay “obsessed” with you/ “crazy in love” long term or what has been your experience seeing the transformation of the way you love a women long term? submitted by /u/HotFarm369

    When i was dating my now wife i wanted to impress her. Now after ten years i feel like i dont need to do grand gestures to make her happy. I want to do small everyday things that i know will keep her happy.

    The relationship changed for me from being in love to loving. The interactions got more genuine and intimate and a comfort set in. I when from trying to impress to getting to know better and acting accordingly. We grew to becoming a team when the kids came and of course still occasionally arguing, but maturing to a level where we know that we say/do things sometimes when we don’t mean it because we’re tired or have a bad day. I can be how I am without any pressure and she can be the same.
