If we’re in the middle of sexy time and he asks me to pause for a moment because he’s worried he’s gonna finish too soon, I ask him ridiculous questions about Lord of the Rings.

“Why didn’t they just fly to Mordor on the eagles?”

“Legolas is neither a Lego nor a lass. Discuss.”

Works every time.

When we were dating, my wife and I would poke our fingers in each other’s mouths when the other person started yawning. It was funny, but we got tired of it really fast and made a pact not to do it anymore.

We’ve been together for 8 years and we still nervously side-eye each other when we yawn. If we’re feeling mischievous, we will flinch towards the one yawning to scare them.

We talk for our dog. We don’t have children, but our dog has full on conversations with us but it’s just my wife and I making his “voice.” It always goes along with the context and it seems to be what he would be saying. Our old dog and our current dog even have their own distinct intonation/dialect when saying things.

It’s to the point that sometimes we look at each other and go “huh, it’s weird when you think about the fact that he’s never actually really spoken before….”

Folie a deux?

“love you” became “wuvs” became, via autocorrect, “wolves”, became the wolf emoji

I name my kisses something stupid.

Like when we’re skating (we’re both bad at it) I call it a danger kiss. Or when we’re eating hotdogs and one of us is still chewing I’ll call it ‘hot dog kiss’. Their kid hated when we kissed until I started doing this and now she thinks it’s adorable. Which is great because I’m trying to show her what a happy, healthy, and loving relationship should look like since she hasn’t had good examples in the past. Plus my partner thinks it’s adorable too and giggles when I do it.

We also intentionally mispronounce words. Hot dog is ‘hot dong’. Hamburger and ‘hahmberder’. Shit like that.

I think other people who are more touchy would not appreciate ours but when one of us goes away and we are greeting each other, instead of hugging or kissing like normal humans we thumbs up.

My partner’s a little awkward and neither of us like public displays of affection, so he just thumbsed up me once when I was going in for a hug and I still think it’s the funniest thing.

When our kid was younger I heard him say “Dad, I love you” from the car backseat.

I said “I love you too buddy”

Then my kid said “NO Dad, three buses!”

So now I get 🚌🚌🚌 from my wife every so often

I’m a morning person, she’s not. When we shower together I’m not allowed to look at her because she’s not ready for my cheer. I do it anyway, she slaps me. Been 20 years and it’s worth it every time!

If I get up for a job earlier than her, I’ll write a small note and hide it somewhere. It’ll just say something like how pleased to see me the neighbour’s goose was, or how big a shit the dog had in the morning

We make dinosaur sounds when we’re trying to find each other. Sometimes in public. Works well, would recommend.

We laugh about the faces our cat makes when we scratch under her chin, so sometimes I’ll scratch under my husband’s chin and he’ll make the same exaggerated face she does, or vice versa.

When snuggling, we realized that an affectionate nuzzle to someone’s ear can make a satisfying “fwip” sound if you bend their ear back a little and let it release.

It always makes us smile and chuckle a bit. I’ve seen wolves and african wild dogs doing similar things in videos, so I know we aren’t the only ones doing it :)

I wait in line with the regular customers and then at the end of my transaction I use the worst possible pickup lines imaginable, and it always lands a perfect ten.

You look like you come from excellent chewing stock my dear.

Oh? How do you know? A man like you probably works with cattle with those big guns.

How do you like to mooove on over to my place after work?

Oh gosh! Tucks chin. I-I don’t know…

This thread is so wholesome ❤️ It made me smille to know how many people are loved and cherished by a significant other.

I work in a hospital. Since Covid, instead of hugging after I got home from work, we started doing “foot cuddles”, just touching our feet together before I went to shower. We still do it to this day.
