Romance is dead *lighthearted

[Schwibble]

This evening mainly consisted of DH getting KFC for dinner, flumping on sofa with DDog watching tv while having a couple of beers, then going up but sitting on the bed trimming his toenails before turning the light off and laying down and talking about the consistency of DDog's bedtime poo. Romance is well and truly dead in this house

We also discuss DDog's bowel movements. When my husband takes him for a morning walk while I shower, I like to hear how it went. I swear DDog looks from DH to me knowing this information is being imparted!

That sounds lovely! We hear of so many marriages on here where communication has broken down completely, it's nice to hear of a normal marriage.

Some of my favourite nights with my DH are getting a sourdough pizza from Sainsbury's, putting on a facemask and watching Netflix

You’re lucky! I cut my DPs toenails for him last night....(only because he’d hurt his back at work and couldn’t reach that far 😂) I also got to squeeze a spot on his bum! That’s true love right there!!

DH squeezed this out of my earring hole last night. He also cuts my toenails

Ya see, I long for a relationship where I can squeeze his spots and discuss the day's offerings in the litter tray.

That's what I call intimacy.

I think someone should invent a dating site for this kind of relationship. Never mind champagne and dinner dates and all that jazz...

DS was out on the toot last night, leaving the house about 7pm.

It took DH and I about 10 minutes to decide to have an early night - as we were drawing the curtains downstairs DH commented that "all the neighbours would be bound to think we're shagging"

In reality we went to bed, read for a short while and went to sleep before 8pm

Thank you @ahughes20 , I genuinely thought mine is not a normal marriage! But yes, at least communication hasn't completely broken down! Tonight's scintillating conversations will probably include Brexit , BoJo and whether or not to have some wine.

Sounds like a totally normal marriage to me. Me and DH have been married 40 years and still chat away but most of the time is about trivial things such as dog poo!

Ahh reading the replies I'm glad me and dp are classed as a 'normal couple' I'm on mat leave and he's off work this week due to the re-release of the origional World of Warcraft. So he's been on the pc all day almost.
Today's topics have been:
The character he's playing
Another couple discussing our dogs toilet habits
The contents of our sons nappies, dp likes to tell me how 'chicken korma' it is 🤔
Silent witness and what's happening, although he has told me multipul times it's crap. I have reminded him he's a numpty for this.
He also ordered pizza in because I said its too hot to make dinner. So he redeemed himself for the rubbish opinion.

So glad it's not just my marriage and that LTB hasn't once been mentioned!
