Haha were you ever wrong?
seems like oonly when the kids were young and cell-less. occasionally she would throw it back in my face
Aww adorable #relationshipgoals
Whenever she sneezes I'll give the first one a "Bless you" and the second something like
"Oh GROSS! Can you take that outside?"
"Babe we talked already, I'm not into your kink, stop iniaiting like that"
"Jesus anything for attention with you...."
It's now at the point where when she starts we are both glaring and smirking at each other.
I've said, "Oh, fuck you! Grow up!" and similar to friends. But it's best immediately after sneeze one, and you should sound properly offended at the temerity.
Not recently, but this is one I'm particularly proud of. She texted me to complain that she was music-less in the office because her MP3 player failed.
Well of course I phoned and was able to sing one line about never giving her up before she hung up the call.
Whenever she tells me she's going to do something I react "Hey honey, you should go and do something."
"I'm going to the store to get some milk"
"You know what? You should go to the store and get some milk"
"I'm going to wash some pants."
"Honey, I think maybe you should wash some pants."
I do that with everyone that tells me "I'm going to the bathroom"
I reply with "Good luck! π"
My preferred response has always been "Hope everything comes out ok"
that's even better
Oh wow, that's good!
I usually say "have fun"
I say either but my favourite is "may the Force be with you"
I like to respond with, "Why? What's in the bathroom?"
I'll usually use "Don't fall in!"
I always go with: "Just pee your pants."
I look her in the eyes romantically, with a touch of mischief, and state "you're a very useful girlfriend".
I only do it a couple times a year at most.
The look of disdain is priceless.
She knows I love the hell out of her, and the anti climax is brilliant.
"What am I?! Your bloody house cleaner?!"
Then we laugh. Cuddle. She feigns a cold shoulder.
Too much fun.
Sometimes when she tells me sheβs going to doβ¦ anything, really, I just say something along the lines of βnoβ, βout of the questionβ or βyouβre not allowed to do thatβ. Almost 15 years later, it didnβt get old - for me! - yet. As for her, I think at this point she just tuned out these things hahaha
I do the opposite.
-
"I'm thinking to go shop for new winter boots on Saturday"
-
"I'll allow it."
Ooooh nice. I'll borrow that little gem.
"Objection!"
I do at least two things that she pretends to hate, but definitely does not.
- When discussing something I always reply this way:
- Her: Come on, say something.
- Me: Something.
- When she needs to do something in the future:
- Her: Remind me, that I have to buy milk tomorrow.
- Me: instantly You know, you have to buy milk tomorrow.
That second one followed by "I've done my part so don't forget!"
Wife: Promise you will always listen to me.
Me: I promise to listen but not do what you say.
When I leave her, just to go to the bathroom, or to the store or leave her in the car while I go into the store, I'll say, "See you tomorrow" x 15 yrs
Sometimes when I come back into the room from the bathroom I'll ask if she missed me.
Me (about to head down to the kitchen): Do you want anything from downstairs?
Him: No.
Me: Just me?
Him (with a sigh and a laugh): Yes, just you.

Texted my wife to tell her I was heading to a mate's place for "a dip in the pool and some pizza", then followed up with a texted stream of consciousness, one line at a time, about how I was planning to eat the pizza - not dip in it, then pondering what dip on pizza would be like, followed be weighing up the pros and cons of about 4 or 5 different dips on pizza, and the different pizzas they might work on.
It took about 7 or 8 messages before I got her eyeroll response. Worth it.
Everytime someone sneezed, and she says "Gesundheit", I quietly ask her, "Did you just say Kazoo Tight?".
When she'd say "I guess" I'd pretend to have heard "heck yes" and get excited. Then I started with my kids. Now my daughter does it to her own friends and I've never been more proud
You guys are so adorable I love this. Almost makes me wish I had a relationship
I sneak up behind her and give her "tiger rubs", which is aggressive up & down motion on the ribs & side meat.
She loves it x20 years
Whenever I let out a big fart close to her I say her name out loud in a surprised tone accompanied by βthatβs absolutely disgusting!β and she eye rolls immediately lol
Inappropriate nicknames. Wait for her to do something slightly embarrassing, make a nickname out of it, then strategically use it in awkward situations.
My current frontrunners are "Whisp-a-doody", "FUPA-diaper", and "Dumptruck full o' dead cows".
That last one isn't anything she did, but something we both witnessed that really upset her.
Intentionally using the wrong ligger/lægger (lie/put down, in danish) in a text to my SO. She lovingly annoyed me back by intentionally not noticing it.
She squirms when I gently mess with the little ringlets of hair on the back of her neck. Itβs cute.
When we are watching a show or movie together and recognize and actor but can't remember what else we have seen them in.
I will look it up on IMDB and then exclaim "Oh, that's it! They are in [Name of the show or movie we are currently watching]!"
oh baby baby
I think it was there. I can't imagine leaving it out.
I no longer say these because of reasons...
"why do we argue so much when we both know you are wrong"?
"if you promise to love me forever then I promise to let you love me forever".
Her aim has improved alot during this marriage.
Unprompted, I make a weird "surprise" face that freaks him out for some reason.
Dad jokes. She not-so-secretly loves them, but always likes to give me an eyeroll.
I will ask if she wants a drink, then request she makes me one too when she says yes.
I never offered to make it, only asked if she WANTED one.
I will then go make her a drink of course, and I'm not sure she's ever found it funny, but I'm amused.
She hates the USA southern accent. While I grew up in a midwestern family, we spent some years in Tennessee when I was a kid. I pulled a hard southern accent on her yesterday. For like twenty seconds.
