Silly things that you do with your partner that you wouldn't do with anyone else...! (Light hearted)

Okay I will start... Been with my partner for 4 years, despite the below, we are both mature adults in professional jobs but behind closed doors we can be like big kids!

* disclaimer: some embarrassing and immature things below,, honestly I expect some negative comments... that's okay!*

  1. Whilst we are cleaning our teeth we whack each others tooth brushes like we are having a sword fight
  2. We get in to playful fights, lots of light pinching and tickling!
  3. Bottom burps still makes us both roar with laughter
  4. Silly little pranks- Last week I flicked my partners penie whilst having a wee resulting in very wet joggers!

More to follow..!

Anyone else as silly/immature as us at times?

We and Dh do the pokey bum thing. He does it too me more often though [hmm

Another thing dh does is lift up his top showing his man boob and shouts 'bitty, bitty!' Whilst chasing me around the house trying to give me bitty. It makes me laugh everytime BlushGrin

We also do the pokey bum upstairs too.
If he's in the bath I'll go in and throw a cup of cold water over him.
If I'm in the bath he will sneak up quietly and swing the door open really fast and shout "raaaaargghhh" at me. Which shits me up every single time.
We 'dab' and floss in front of his daughters friends just to embarrass her.
We sing at the top of our voices and as out of tune as we can. Whoever is worst wins.
We sing most songs in a pretend opera voice in the car.
He walks in the room pretending to be a stripper and will start doing a sexy dance in his boxers until I point out he's still got his white socks on.
We speak to each other in a language that only we can understand. Never in front of other people they would think we are just far too weird.
We make up so many words up for things, the sillier they are the better. They are now a part of every day life.
I laugh every single day of my life with this man we couldn't be more matched if our lives depended on it. This is why I love him. We don't take ourselves too seriously and it's difficult to find that amount of comfortable in a relationship.

DarcieStarlight · 06/01/2019 15:26

Oh and randomly for no reason if I'm watching telly or going upstairs he will suddenly stand up and shout "RIGHT!" in a really loud voice. It sends panic through me and no matter where I am I will get up and run as fast as I can to another part of the house to get away and he will pretend to chase me. It's like exciting, thrilling and shit scary all at the same time. No idea why it started.

DP’s dearest wish in life is to Dutch oven me. He’s never successfully managed it, not fully, it always turns into a wrestling match which, if it looks like he’s going to win, I yell ‘I WILL LEAVE YOU AND I MEAN IT!’ and he gives up, because I’m a very bad loser.

He also says ‘I’ll smack your bottom’ if I’ve been cheeky or not given the response he was hoping for, to which I’ll reply ‘go on try it, I will kick you in the face’ and he then makes flappy camp smacking motions at me whilst I do some piss poor attempts at ‘high kicks’ in his general direction.

Sing the theme tunes to our different programmes/box sets we watch together. They all somehow develop their own weird voices/styles and he always asks just before we start one ‘singing or no singing?’ Although even if I choose no singing we still end up singing.

If one of us is driving and accelerates even slightly we’ll put our hand on the other’s knee and say ‘sorry to scare you there babe’.

Lots of songs made up about our dog. Sample example, sung in a dramatic kind of old folk ballad way - ‘he was just a poo poo boy, running around like a poo poo boy, and they called him the poo poo boy, for he was just a poo poo boy’. We make up similar works of lyrical genius about each other too.

We have a shared wedding budget/plan spreadsheet at the moment, he loves adding comments as though he’s my manager querying things or asking for things to be ‘on his desk by close of day, thanks’ and then I add comments with mature responses such as ‘bite me’ or ‘suck it’.

Lots more, we’re pretty annoying.

Bum smacks at unexpected moments. Bonus points if one of us gets one in with an object such as a flip flop!

Imsosorryalan1 · 06/01/2019 19:11

Just as we're about to go to sleep I nostril wrench him from above

We give each other wedgies in bed

Wet willies

Pull his nostril hair as he's falling asleep

Call each other mummy and daddy when conversing with or about the dog

iLoveFoood · 08/01/2019 23:20

We lie with our backs against eachother in bed and position our bum cheeks to 'kiss each others bums' Blush and then proceed to say... 'touch bumsies?' BlushGrin

We also always rub 'feetsies'

Well done re suck joy and fun out of thread @MarilynSlumroe (name fits?).

I sing (terribly) to cat and other half, dance, twerk and squash him.

Other half nips me: in public. Every couple of years. Just a quick bite on my neck. It's rather nice.

Mr CatE and I refer to each other as 'mummy' and 'dad' re cat. NEVER in front of another human.

We have a stupid little dance wiggle thing we do when something good happens. Doesn't even need to be anything big, just the oven timer going off to say it's ready warrants a "happy dance" or finding something you'd lost. So silly, and definitely does not happen in front of anyone else.

Also have a load of phrases and words that are said stupidly. Some of them are rare and so when they come up in normal conversation, we'll correct it to the silly version and be in fits.
Grin

sirmione16 · 09/01/2019 00:23

We also have a thing of running away from the other in supermarkets. I find it hilarious to do the hiding but often we've both hid and have to ring/text to find each other again. Honestly. Children.

JaretsGirlfren · 09/01/2019 00:27

We speak in sheep language Blush

MrsCatE · 09/01/2019 00:37

@MarilynSlumroe this is the last time I will engage with you, not one person on this thread has mentioned what you said. Are you mirroring? Is that what you really want?? Dont be ashamed. Just go on the 'Sex' thread for pointers.

MrsCatE · 09/01/2019 00:43

@JaretsGirlfren Barhhhhaaa?

We talk to each other in terrible Russian accents.

We have an ancient old teddy who has a rich inner life. He collects Encyclopaedia Brittanica and is a whizz at knowing bus routes. He also shouts "Bum Bum Bum!" at opportune moments.

Pokey Bumhole is a given - it's pleased me no end to think of couples up and down the country doing this.

We also sing to the cat. The cat usually replies "Fuck you, Mummy"

Kisses on the neck often turn into full on vampire biting and chasing round the house.

Dancing in the front room, he will usually beckon me up from the sofa to join him in a smoochy dance which will quickly descend into pogoing

We name every cat in the surrounding roads and speculate on their lives as if they were human. i.e one of us will look out the window and say "Oh, there goes Little Eric; he's off to Cash Converters to pawn off his sovereign ring till payday"

He is completely ridiculous and I love him. Grin

MrsCatE · 09/01/2019 01:30

@LadyOfTheCanyon. We share so much (cat speak, dance etc.) and so little, I aspire to be like you and SirOfTheCanyon.

Can we be friends?! X

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 09/01/2019 01:31

Instead of saying thank you, we say "danke, ya wanker". DH will talk like Officer Crabtree in Allo Allo - this makes me laugh a lot. We both do the Peter Kay sly fingers thing to each other (pretending to scratch face with middle finger).

If I'm cooking, or washing up, DH will cop a feel of my boobs while the fading like Sid James. We also duet badly on power ballads, musicals soundtracks and Queen songs.

Thinking about all this daftness has cheered me up, some of this stuff has been rare recently because DH is unwell, so it's nice to remember the fun sides of ourselves.

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 09/01/2019 01:32

"The fading"? Wtf? Guffawing.

iLoveFoood · 09/01/2019 23:05

@MarilynSlumroe aww, you miserable old
Grin

iLoveFoood · 09/01/2019 23:06

@LadyOfTheCanyon we do that cat thing too. There's a black cat we call 'disco cat' and then we have big fluffy Harry. 😂

LadyOfTheCanyon · 10/01/2019 07:05

@iLoveFoood
it's great isn't it? There's an unneutered tom round our way called The Black Bomber. He's quite the ladies man. We've seen the lady cat from a few doors up burst from the shrubbery with him in hot pursuit quite a few times! We always narrate him in a terrible Pepe le Pew French accent. "Oh my darleeeeng, why do you reezeest me so?" And so on. Grin

iLoveFoood · 10/01/2019 08:34

@LadyOfTheCanyon excellent Grin I've never thought of narrating them
