Hi shilly-shally,
That feeling is so normal, there is a phrase for it: The Seven Year Itch. We are biological creatures. In the old days people didn’t live that long, and you only felt that “glue” with your partner for a handful of them. Just enough for the baby to be weaned and to start sniffing out a new partner after yours, well, DIED. And believe me, they did die.
Problem is, we are living two or even three times longer than our ancestors.
You are doing the right thing (by not acting on these bio. feelings). Don’t beat yourself up for having them either.
But if you do ever end it with your DH, don’t get a new DH right away. It will be the same old story. As old as time.
Blessings,
Inky
