How ling have you been together? How old are you?

Several times a day, late forties, together 13 years. I think I'm wittier than him, but he is more absurd and random, so it works.

JustAnInchident · 23/04/2025 20:21

All the time, every day. It’s one of the main things he liked abouy me at the start apparently, that I’m funny. Feels a bit wanky saying that but I do make him laugh a lot so 🤷🏼‍♀️ he definitely makes me laugh too but I’m more the instigator, if that makes sense? He is prone to being more serious at times.
We are 33 and 31, together 10 years, two kids aged 3y and 6 weeks.

50s, and been together over 25 years. We have a lot of gentle humour and jokes, and occasional absolute belly-laughs over things that I'm sure no-one else would find funny

2chocolateoranges · 23/04/2025 20:21

Dh and I laugh a lot together.

His silly made up words, that he's convinced are real, his witty comebacks ans one liners. He laughs at my sarcasm and one liners.

I'm late 40s he's early 50s and we have been together 30yrs.

I think laughing together and having a similar sense of humour is important.

Do you and your dp laugh together?
PrincessSakura · 23/04/2025 20:36

Everyday! We’ve been together 16 years and we are mid 30’s.

namechangenelly1 · 23/04/2025 20:40

Every day. We’re late 30s and have been together nearly 10 years.

EasterBunnyFeelingFunny · 23/04/2025 20:42

Yes, we laugh a lot. ❤️

JeanMarie · 23/04/2025 20:43

Both 65 and together 5 years. We have loads of laughs every day and funnily enough I was just thinking the other day how brilliant it is that we now have "in" jokes. Best of all and what really endeared him to me was how quickly he got on board with one of my sons' sense of humour. My son is autistic and him and I share a love of the absurd....our thing is an imaginary village which we have inhabited with the weird and wonderful. My DP didn't bat an eyelid and joins in with relish. My son doesn't open up to many people and to see him and my DP laughing like drains is better than any tonic.

taylorsdoingapart · 23/04/2025 20:48

Yes everyday. Both mid 40's and been together 15 years.

zeibesaffron · 23/04/2025 20:53

yes everyday - both 51 together 25 years ❤️

Thegreyestate · 23/04/2025 21:01

Going against the grain here, I've been with my partner for 7 years, and honestly, no we don't.

It does bother me at times but we are very happy together and have a lovely life, so 🤷🏽‍♀️. I put this down to his personality, I'm full of life and laughs but he's a bit more serious.

Are we the only ones??

SwordOfOmens · 23/04/2025 21:03

My DH makes me laugh on the daily and I make him laugh too. Its one of the reasons I married him! Together nearly 11 years and married nearly 5 years.
I'm 48 and he is 39

EnjoythemoneyJane · 23/04/2025 21:05

Every day. We can make each other cry laugh, always have, and it’s been the glue that’s held us together through times when we’ve been hanging by a thread. Our kids also have a brilliant sense of humour and we laugh loads when we’re all together - massive amounts of piss-taking so you have to be pretty hardy!

Even now when DH is shredding my last fucking nerve, I just remind myself there’s never been anyone who ‘gets’ me the way he does and who makes me laugh as much. Together 35 years, late 50s/early 60s.

We don't really. We have a happy, kind, loving relationship, but neither of us are big laughers. It's incredibly rare for me to to have a real fit of the giggles or belly laugh. Not just with DH, or with anyone. I remember laughing like that as child, but not as an adult. It's a bit sad, but it seems to be the way I am. And I think he's fairly similar.

We don't argue either.

Letmehaveabloodyusernameplease · 23/04/2025 21:18

All the time. We've been together 35 years / married 31.

ExperiencedTeacher · 23/04/2025 21:18

My BF/DP (not been together long enough to be my “partner” but definitely beyond dating 🤣) and I laugh constantly.

I’d been with my exdh for 20+ years and we’d stopped laughing long ago. We never laughed how I laugh now

TheWiseGoose · 23/04/2025 21:20

Everyday. Been together for 27 years. We are very childish with each other and have the same sense of humour.

Brunocatmon · 23/04/2025 21:23

I'm so glad i started this thread and if I knew how to like posts, I'd like them all.

Everyday, he probably makes me/us laugh more than I do. Late forties together 25 years.

CharlotteFlax · 23/04/2025 21:25

Yes, we’re a HOOT.

Been together 23 years and it’s always been the way.

TokyoKyoto · 23/04/2025 21:27

Omg yes we laugh. We always have. Together 34 years. There have been hard times with less laughter but we still make each other laugh.

MayaPinion · 23/04/2025 21:28

Yes, all the time. 10 years together, both mid 50s. It’s one of the fundamentals of our relationship. If our senses of humour didn’t vibe I very much doubt we’d have lasted a week.

This is so like me and DP. Relatively new relationship, but can see us together forever. He makes me laugh until I snort like a pig. Don’t think I’ve ever laughed as much as he makes me.
