    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    Tinder is a truly horrendous app if you're not extremely attractive as a man. I too envy those who have never used it.

    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!

    *Looks at username* Oh I'm sure you were real sneaky!

    I'm 22 years with my OH (With a 17 year break in the middle where we were idiots and married other people) 4 years back together, 2nd baby on the way and there's not a day goes by I don't thank God I found him again.
    Cuddles are the best, it's such a mighty feeling knowing that you're loved.

    Loved and safe. I struggle with being able to sleep at times, but laying my head on a chest, strong arms wrapped around me, a good movie on, and I'll be out like a light. I always fall asleep watching movies. I'll be panned out in the first 20 minutes. Maybe it's not the cuddles at all, it's the movies! :D
    But seriously there's no better place to be. Even when I'm single I always seem to need a cuddle buddy.

    He knows I'd do anything for him, and I know the same. We were friends that fell in love, and that friendship is right at the centre of everything even with all the new dimensions and commitment that comes with the cuddles. I'm very lucky.
