Do you think you can realy still be in love after 5,10,20 years with the same partner?How about lust...do you think you could still be in "lust" after all those years.I don't know about 20 years but i've been with my hubby for 7 years and i just realize that not only i'm still in love with him but i still lust after him.How about you,can you honeslsy tell me you can love and lust for the same person?

Definitely on both. I met my husband when we were 15 and fell in love with him.11 yrs later and I love him more now and I definitely still lust for him. When you know it's tender love and passion and it's not something shallow it makes it so much better in the later yrs. I can't wait to grow old with him and I have no question that my feelings for him will fade.

lol sorry i was typing too fast. It won't fade. You just gotta know 100% sure that you want this person the rest of your life. If you question it then maybe you are not ready for that person.

Well I have been with the same man for over 12 years and married for 3 of those years. I can honestly say that I love him more now than when we first got married. And yes I still lust for him, more than ever, I guess part of the reason for that is because we have had so much time to get to know one another that we know just what buttons to push. I think that if a couple falls out of love or lust, it's because things have either changed drastically or they have given up. I guess it just depends on how you look at things. I'm glad to hear that you and your man are still in love/lust, I hope that you have many more years together.

Well thank you i hope so too.It's a wonderful feeling to love someone that you still find "HOT",he is also a beautiful person on the inside and that's most likely why i find him so attractive.He can still be a a@#!ole at time but that make it all that more interesting!

Love can be everlasting to any couple. So I really believe I can still be in love with the same person after 25 years. The initial reaction was not physical, so any changes in the physical appearance would not affect the relationship much compared to love based on beauty.
Lust is usually connected to physical attraction, so as the attraction fades, so does the lust. A partner may also have a change in thinking and attitude resulting in the decrease of lust.
Do I still love and lust for the same person after nearly 28 years? I think I do. The feelings may not really be muyual but that is a different story.
all the best,
rosdimy

I believe being in love after 20 years is possible. But lust after 20 years, I don't know maybe it's still kind of possible depending on the person. Personally I think I might still be with my partner. After all we're just in our 20's.

I can honestly say that after 20 years together I still get those butterflies in my stomach for my husband. I do lust after him and he says he feels that way about me also. We are still head over heals in love with each other. I questioned myself years ago if in 20 years If we would still feel the same way about each other. Things aren't always a bed of roses, but those hardships we went through just made our bond stronger and our love grow more so. I am proud of my relationship with my husband, we were just kickin' back last night and talking about how we hope that we made a good example of how marriage is suppose to be for our 4 children. You need to keep that lust alive!

There's no perfect formula for love.
You can't always know the answers by not being in the situation itself. As of now, I've been loving the same person for the last 5years and I can say that perhaps it could be the same with lust and love, but I still can't say too because we're not yet married nor do I know if he's the one I'm going to marry.
I say, I'll cross the bridge when I get there...
Different strokes for different folks.
Happy Mylotting!

Yes, you can still be in love after 20 years.Lust, is something else - there are much more things around and you are much more easily tired...
I find that respect and understanding keep the love on and adds also to a kind of special friendship. It's really nice and helpful to have beside you someone who knows you and you feel comfortable with.

I tihnk love and lust are not two different things. You can definitely and compulsorily feel love and lust forthe smae person, If you do not feel the lust for the person you love, then it means that you are not really in love with that person.

Well, you kind of have to define your words. When your in a steady relationship, such as the one you are in, its not really "lust" but "passion" or something like that that you feel. Lust is basically the physical desire (though reflected mentally) for someone else, usually based on nothing except physical attraction. Besides that, sure people can be in love for as long as they want, really. It takes time and work to perfect love together, alot of time and alot of work. Even after so many years people change so inadvertanty love changes between them. They are still the same people and in the same love, fundamentally; but something changes every moment they are together making the next enjoyable and bareable to be together. In the same, when a couple is in love to such an extent as this, it makes the next moment unbarable if they are apart.

I think that all depends on if your husband or wife is allowing you to love them such as being nice to you and supportive and the such. If your partner keeps the relationship how it was when you fell in love I think your love would keep renewing itself for that person. But if your spouse isn't nice and supportive of you and keep that spark going you would probably fall out of love and lust for them.
