Have you ever caught the love of your life, staring at you? If the answer is yes, what did you do about it? Did you just shrug your shoulders and let that moment pass? Or, you got mystified about that look and will not stop until you get your answers?
In my case, I asked for the answer. These past weeks, I caught my husband staring at me, more than a couple of times. It's not an ordinary look, but a look that meant something else.
Well, I wasn't sure if he wanted to kiss me or choke me!
(I'm sorry if this comes as a bad joke for others)
Anyway, I went ahead and asked him. The answer was simple. Because he spent more hours working at the hospital compared to staying at home with me and our small children, he suddenly felt sad at that time.
That time I'm talking about, was the time I suddenly woke up, and caught him sitting beside me, looking down at me. When I suddenly opened my eyes, he averted his eyes, and pretended to be doing something else.
When I asked him about it after a few days, that was what he told me. He felt sad that he had no choice but to go to work again. He wanted to spend more time with me and the kids, but working at the hospital demands a LOT of his time.
And the other time, I caught him looking again, while we were in the car and he was driving. I looked at him, and asked why he was looking at me. This time, I got no clear answer. He just said, that he simply wanted to look at my face

To me, that is so very romantic. He really loves you and misses you and ya'll's children when he has to work. He sounds to be a sweetie! I love hearing stories of other couples who are so madly in love, or who share such small but meaningful gestures. I appreciate this discussion, I hope you have a wonderful day.

Hello...
My husband may not be Casanova but in his own ways, he shows how much he appreciates that he has me and our kids in his life.
By the way, you have mentioned in your other discussions that you have a fiance. So, when's the big day?

I used to do that with my husband. But I made sure, he's fully sound asleep and won't open his eyes and discover me, looking at him. He may get some ideas!

I've never experienced this with my exes and stuff like that, but there was this moment before in which I was the one whom stared at a few of them, during those respective times I was in a relationship with them. LOL... I just love to appreciate one's beauty, smile and laughter and especially laughter, because it rings in my ears all the time way after I'm back at home. And those memories; I would always remember laughter. It is indeed the best medicine, starting with 'that' look.

I guess, a woman's laughter or smile can truly make a lasting impression on a man. Well, my husband told me the cause of his "downfall". Or in other words, the reason he fell head over heels in love with me. 
He told me that he fell for my one thousand kinds of smile!Uh- Ok!

How foolish of you? Why else would someone stare at you lovingly? Perhaps you had some white sauce on your cheek that he secretly craved! Bah! Women are really like puppies. They liked to be adored and constantly praised. Why else would they ask questions they know the answer to? Such madness drives men to build woodshops in the garage.

Hello BlueGoblin...
First of all, I'm not being foolish. It doesn't hurt to ask especially if it's my husband. Yes, women do crave praises and be adored. It's part of our nature and we can't help it. As for questioning that look, I don't see any harm in asking. Sometimes, one question can do other positive things in a relationship.

This may sound weird, but I once felt my boyfriend staring at me, and true enough, when I turned my head to look at him he was really staring at me. Have you ever felt someone's eyes on you? I don't know how, but I really felt it. And when I looked at him he just asked me why I always know when he's looking at me.

Yes, sometimes I do feel that way. That's what I felt when I caught my husband staring at me, when we were in the car.

That is adorable. My husband often stares at me. I still blush after five years of it. He tells me that he just loves my beauty and wants to look at my face as much as possible. I love when he does it and appreciate how much he loves me. Sometimes I hug him, sometimes I cry with joy, sometimes I say something romatic. Depends on my mood and who is around :)

Thank you for sharing your tender moments with your husband...For us women, being stared at by the men that we love, is a big wonderful experience. It makes us feel so special. And that's the amazing thing about it. One look is all it takes to make us feel that way.

that's great and your discussion carried lots of good sharing quality. Lucid explanation with meaningful content about fostering one love in marriage life. Meaning that you're in the high zone level of comfort. Congrats! and hopes it will be the prominent value to be said as gaining new continuing success.
But, must always ready one more thing, in marriage life within or after ten years there will be a great tribulation for both parties to beholden and stay tune to each other. You can ask all married parties or people how they survived in this situation. I got bad jokes in this case, actually.....hahahaha! just take it lightly seems like an evening jokes, where a husband will say at one time to his friends;
[b]Look at other people's children, remember my kids
Look at other people's wives, forgot my wife.....!!![/b]
hahaha!.....as I said, jcj, it's an evening jokes ONLY.....hahaha!

I heard about the "crisis" that may come to couples after 10 years of marriage. Well, my husband and I are on our way there. Just 2 more years. But, I know we can brave it through.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. The only thing I managed to say was: "Can I get a little Kiss from you?". Wow, it was wonderful! It brought me back to the day when we just got married.
