Leave the bastard.

I kicked mine out of bed last night because I'm perimenopausal and hotter than the devil in hell himself.

AtYourCervix · 01/05/2013 22:02

I bet the queen doesn't have to put up with that sort of shit.

The toenails or the lack of affection?

AtYourCervix · 01/05/2013 22:04

And I swear his nasty bent toenails grow at a freakily accelerated rate. And his toes are all stiff and tense.

Ew. [shudder]

Snog the pillow or take a toyboy to bed and do sex next to him.

AtYourCervix · 01/05/2013 22:06

I don't think he'd even notice sole.

He will be asking you to pluck his eyebrows soon.

Annunziata A hot water bottle filled with cold water helps.

As for your dh AtYourCervix demand that he does your toe nails in return!

Annunziata · 01/05/2013 22:09

Nah, you must really love him if you cut his toenails.

I'll try that, Dawndonna, thank you.

AtYourCervix · 01/05/2013 22:10

I couldn't have anyone touching my feet. Ew.

An occasional pat or handshake would be nice.

AtYourCervix · 01/05/2013 22:10

Deep heat in his pants Smile

MsVestibule · 01/05/2013 22:12

He lets you cut his toenails and you say romance isn't dead? Jeez, some women are, like, so demanding Hmm.

Just out of interest, how long have you been together?

The other day mine made the most romantic comment ever. Sadly I posted this on a then-deleted thread, because it was awesome.

Thread was to do with loving your children or your husband more. I mentioned thread to DP. He agreed that obviously losing DD would be worse. He followed this with the comment - "obviously I'd be disappointed if you died..."

Romance is not dead, I tell you.

AtYourCervix · 01/05/2013 22:14

18 years. Next week. DD1 was 17 last month. Work that one out Blush

My husband farted in front of me for the first time in our entire (15 years so far) marriage the other day.

Beginning of the end, I tell you.

AtYourCervix · 01/05/2013 22:16

Thurlow - you've given my hiccups with thst gem.

Disappointed !

WorrySighWorrySigh · 01/05/2013 22:24

DH doesnt fart in front of me but we do seem to be plagued by a very windy cat. In fact all the cats we have had have been windy. Before the cats the gerbils were windy.

Cailinsalach · 01/05/2013 22:25

I read an article in the Grauniad once about keeping romance alive in a marriage. I followed their advice by:

Smiling at my DP

Saying things like " I love to wake up and see your face next to mine on the pillow"

Putting an effort into meals, not just egg and oven chips every night. Sometimes I made spam fritters.

Wore sexy underwear or even no underwear.

It worked. I broke him. He confessed to having an affair and left me for his teenage girlfriend. ( the aforementioned underwear was older than her)

Fuck romance.

ImTooHecsyForYourParty · 01/05/2013 22:25

Are you sure about that? It's not your husband saying cor, can you smell that, the 'gerbil' farted again...

Does he let you keep the clippings in a box? Does he love you that much?

I'd rather stick a hedgehog up my bum than touch DH's furry, gryphon claws.

ImTooHecsyForYourParty · 01/05/2013 22:26

sorry to read that, cailin.

AtYourCervix · 01/05/2013 22:27

Still hic-ing

Shock callin. I suspect he's too lazy to have another. I know I am.
