    You are not on your own there Lexie, Mrs E almost always falls asleep during a film. She did it on our very first date to the cinema, and that was back when they used to have two films on, not just the one like nowadays.

    For a laugh we went to a bondage party together. I couldn't stop laughing and nearly got thrown out.

    I'm surprised they didn't lock you up!

    It was surprising how many of them were in accountant type jobs.

    Lots of happy couples on here, I'd say you are in the minority.

    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.

    "Pillow'd upon my fair love's ripening breast, To feel for ever its soft fall and swell,
    Awake for ever in a sweet unrest,
    Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath,
    And so live ever or else swoon to death.

    -John Keats

    Together nearly 10 years, married 3. Baby on the way.

    Every evening, whoever is home first will run to greet the other with a hug.

    We hold hands while watching tv and randomly text "Love you!" all the time.

    For this years valentine's day, I created a treasure hunt for her in the house that led to chocolate, a present, and a card. She cried at the romance!

    More and more young men are realising that marriage is for men who are sexually unappealing to women. This is becoming more and more obvious.

    More and more posters are recognising chore sex guy when he pops up...he is becoming more and more obvious. I'm guessing 20 reregs in the past 6 months.

    Writes early hours eulogy to love of life and heads upstairs for spooning.

    Gets sent to spare room for waking wife up after 8 cans.

    In the cold light of day, sitting at the desk at work...I stand over every word! The days of getting home at 5am, crashing out in the couch or spare room, are a distant memory...fun at the time but ultimately pointless and now there's a certain "what was I doing"...

    Reading all posts makes me realise that ye all have one thing in common....

    ...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?

    That is so beautiful

    That is so beautiful

    You get to a stage in life where sincerity is appreciated. I'm far more likely to say things now than I would have 10 years ago. So I'm comfortable saying my wife is amazing. On the flip side, I'm also comfortable telling people when I don't like them or their opinions/actions. I like this phase!

    10 years together this Summer. Married 2. One 6 year old maniac and another on the way.

    We've had our ups and downs but we're still together. Life is simple and peaceful.

    Lovely thread but Jesus do I feel miserable now!
    I honestly cannot remember the last time I had a proper cuddle :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,162 ✭✭✭von Smallhausen


    Together 5 years and married nearly 7 months. I owe her my life, because if it wasn't for her, I would not be typing this message now. We have been through thick and thin and well lets just say that if she didn't help me see clearly, I would have joined the oul fella in the great cloud in the sky, so to speak.

    I can't say I owe her my life. But I certainly owe her my happiness. I think if I missed out on her, I'd have settled for something less. Funnily enough the biggest thing isn't the thought I'd have married someone less attractive - though that would have been inevitable - it's that I'd have married someone less...challenging, less intelligent and engaging.

    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.

    Awww I love the idea of this. Any tips on finding love? I'm nowhere near the tip of the iceberg more like an iceberg lettuce. I get asked out told I'm hot crap like this but like the song goes where is the love ??

    14 years with my fella and he makes me stupid crazy happy.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,791 ✭✭✭ash23


    Just over three years with OH now so still early days.
    But with a teen and preteen between us, ex drama and long term illness plus redundancy to deal with, we're still blissfully happy and close.
    And it never felt like hard work even when it was because we just have such good craic together.

    He's a dote really.

    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.

    People say this to my fella too. An astonishing amount. Why is it totally OK and socially acceptable and considered banter to say to a guy and not a woman?

    In truth I'm the lucky one. I'm a lot to deal with most of the time, somehow in life I learned to be guarded and introverted and a bit negative about things at times. He's not afraid to call me on my bullsh1t but will never let a day go by without telling me how much he loves me and how beautiful I am.

    We're very different and he wears his heart on his sleeve but I've learned a lot from him that way. And he makes me laugh until my stomach aches every single day.

    9 years together , getting married in 3 weeks.

    I had no interest in relationships with anybody but she changed my mind..always supportive , kind and great company.
    pleasing on the eye and being up for cuddles helps too
