Just off to cuddle my wife...

...I see so many threads about the "met a girl on Tinder/worst/best sexual encounter, great/bad first dates stuff", so here's the other experience.

Heading up to bed now, it's 25 years since we first hooked up, she is still the most beautiful woman I know, the few grey hairs make her even more attractive. And she will leave for work in the morning at 7am and the bed will seem so lonely without her.

So any boringly humdrum stories like mine, or am I in the minority?

I love snuggles. Lying on a nice broad chest listening to someone's heartbeat

Cuddles are fantastic for the first two minutes until the irritation sets in as you gradually get all hot and uncomfortable.

Right. Get yourself round to Conor's for 7am. Your side of the bed will be pre-warmed. Job done! Win-win?

They're fine until you realise it's just going to be a cuddle.

The boiled sausages look like a bowl of mickeys though.

@Zaph - 8 years? Wtf? is it that long?

mcgiggles

14 years together this year, think he's hotter now than he ever was, stupidly happy with him, only want to kill him a small bit of the time, but that passes getting married at Christmas, can't wait for the party!

Jrop

mcgigles with himself 19 years this year, got married 3 years ago and it's even better being his Mrs officially

Noddyholder

What a lovely thread to read first thing this morning, Fair play Op and others here.

Four Phucs Ache

10 years this year and cuddles are rampant at the house because she's hell bent on creating another little human.

I'm f**kin wrecked.

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1

Hopefully there are many more such years ahead Conor. We are married since 1971 and it's still cuddle time every night. You, I believe, are in the majority despite what online forums might suggest.

Cuddles are the best

married ten years in March, sixteen years together in total.

Neither of us would look at another and we still behave like love struck teenagers a lot of the time (much to the mortification of our teenage daughter).

Whilst we both enjoy a night out, a cuddle on the sofa with a good film, a good red wine and some nice cheese is still one of our favourite things to do.

Why aren't you going to work.
Kept man eh, I like it - teach me oh wise one.

I'm with my missus about 11 years or so, every so often I catch of glimpse of her and think "fúck me, she's hot!" Then it's straight back to the agro:D

IrishZeus

4 years married this year. Only met her 5 years ago. Two beautiful daughters in the meantime.

Nothing compares to a happy relationship. Dont miss the dating scene at all and couldn't imagine being without her and the kids.

Mind you, I mix the cuddles with the odd slap on the arse to keep her on her toes. Can't have her getting complacent

Take it away lads....

Pickpocket

In a relationship for the past 14 years. She thinks I'm very cynical about marriage and so avoids bringing it up. But I've already sneakily picked out a ring and will be proposing this summer!

I have a spare sick bucket if you need one.

No really I like your posts about your wife, Conor74, they warm the cockles of my heart. I'm bored of the throwaway relationships thing nowadays.

razorblunt

Just over 2 years married, going out for over 12 years in total, I enjoy wrecking her head on an almost daily basis.
Still get the "is that your wife ... <silence> ... you're doing well for yourself".
Cheers you patronising bastárd.

Stigura

F**king electric meter man turned up at my gate, this morning :mad: That put paid to my blissful snuggles with the sausage Dog. Bastard.

MadamRazz

Ten years together in July, 5 years married in April still waiting for that warm fuzzy feeling to fade. We're as soppy and clingy now as we were at the beginning and its only getting worse. If I saw a couple act the way we do, I'd probably vomit.

Autonomous Cowherd

Met when we were both innocent 18 year olds. 30 years later he is still a divil for the cuddles, cannot leave the house without a kiss and a proper hug even if I'm just popping down to the village for a pint of milk. Thank goodness he is such a ride or it would be annoying.

It social media its partly shaped a culture where its not acceptable for an individuals( particularly young men) to say I want to get married and have family life/ be in a relationship. The funny thing is outside social media i.e real life there are thousands of couples from teenagers to old people who are in contented deeply loving relationships but its so ordinary it goes unnoticed.

Cina

I always assumed that when a woman says she wants "cuddles" that you are basically getting sweet-sexy-time, no?

Maybe that changes after a a number of years when sweet-sexy-time is rarely-happens-time.

Why do people feel the need to say we are so happy we might make people sick or we are so annoying. Where does this cynicism, embarrassment about romance/sex/ relationships come from.

That's not universally true. Lots of people who are together a long time still have lots of sex.

I know, scary, isn't it? Back when we were all young (ish).

Maybe it's because some people can be quite jealous and begrudging.

Dr Crayfish

I just don't think it needs to be announced to the world. I'm not a man for PDA or elaborate marriage proposals myself. TBH the best relationships with women I've had have been the most subtle.

seachto7

I envy people who have never had to resort to tinder.

Widdershins

If you're out with friends and they are mauling each other it would be a bit much. Just because you're affectionate with your other half doesn't mean everyone else wants to witness it or hear about it incessantly. Depends on the degree to which you do it.

It's just another medium for meeting people really. I used to think the same but it's very casual and easy going.

It's *too* hit and miss, and too many fruitcakes on it. You end up meeting people who, if you had met them in real life before going on a date, you'd never have asked them on a date in the first place.

Correct. Just another medium.

I don't know, fruitcakes are the spice of life, sometimes.
