That's it really.

Do you and your significant other have a laugh together?

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

Yes a lot. Most people I have in my life I laugh a lot with. DH and I have been together 23 years (friends for 4 years before that) and are mid 40s.

MaltipooMama · 23/04/2025 21:31

Oh god yes! It was one of the things that attracted me to him when we first met, he’s the only person in the world who can bring me to tears with laughing. We have a shared sense of humour but he’s a lot quicker and wittier than I am (I’d never admit this to him), and we laugh multiple times a day. We’ve been together four years and have a toddler and another on the way!

weegiemum · 23/04/2025 21:32

Dh always says it’s his aim in life to make me laugh every single day. We got together 35 years ago tomorrow and have been married 30 years. We definitely laugh every day, even on the hard ones.

ColinRobinsonsFart · 23/04/2025 21:32

21+ years together.
we laugh everyday - he has a lovely laugh , a real chuckle. His smile is a bit like Stan Laurel!

we laugh at everything… usually finding double entendres in stuff. Or saying a sentence that turns into song lyrics. Or quotes from films.
he has a stoma so a lot of our jokes and chuckles are based on poo! Childish!

TequilaNights · 23/04/2025 21:34

14 years, 13 years married, 5 kids between us, laugh all the time. We are both as silly as each other.

AccidentalPrawnYouFool · 23/04/2025 21:34

Yes daily! We’re 41/42 and have been together for 14 years. 2 DC

blueshoes · 23/04/2025 21:38

I say yes we do but hesitantly because we aren't bent double or laughing till we fart. We agree on things and it is a meeting of minds, which is why I married him. We often find amusement at the same things.

AngelinaFibres · 23/04/2025 21:39

Yes. Every day. I'm 59 and hes 63. Been together 24 years.

AliBaliBee1234 · 23/04/2025 21:39

Of course! I could never be in a relationship without humour.

Been together 18 years, married for 6.

thistimelastweek · 23/04/2025 21:41

Yeah he makes me laugh.
He's probably the funniest person I've ever met. He's far from perfect but my goodness he's witty. I probably wouldn't have married him otherwise.
We've been together 50 years and he's getting less sharp .
But still funny enough to make laugh every day.

Middleagedstriker · 23/04/2025 21:41

Oh every day several times when we are getting along which is probably 9/10 times of the year. Been together 25 years.

Without humour it would be hard to get through the rough times.

Hoppinggreen · 23/04/2025 21:43

Both early 50's, been together 26 years and married for 23.
We laugh A LOT, often very inapropriately. It is our coping mechanism and we have to be careful in front of other people as not many people share our sense of humour.

BoredZelda · 23/04/2025 21:44

Yes, together 25 years, in our 50s. He is very funny, but also tells dad jokes. We laugh a lot with our teenage daughter too.

Echobelly · 23/04/2025 21:44

Yeah, it's a big part of what keeps us together, that we have a weird and stupid and niche sense of humour. I've joked that our love language in our family is memes, but we also laugh at our cat, and funny things our kids say (they're teenagers, so the funny is more intentional now) and so on.

Been together 22 years, 17th anniversary this summer.

tobee · 23/04/2025 21:44

Yes a lot. Been together 38 years and as Dh said recently, sometimes we laugh like absolute babies. Probably more than ever.

tobee · 23/04/2025 21:47

My dm said at their golden anniversary party that my df made her laugh on their first date and she's been laughing ever since. He's 90 (today, happy birthday dad!) and she's 88!

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 23/04/2025 21:47

All the time. We've been married over 40 years and we are both in our 60s. If we didn't laugh at the same things, we would never have got married at all. Shared sense of humour has been very, very important to us.

menopausalfart · 23/04/2025 21:56

All the time. He's really easy to make laugh. Been together since 2007.

bigknitblanket · 23/04/2025 22:03

Yes every day - mainly me laughing at him for being a knobhead.

TheSilentSister · 23/04/2025 22:04

I'm easy to make laugh, I even make myself laugh. I could not be in a relationship where laughter wasn't a big thing.
I'm not in a relationship now but if (a v big if) I was then humour would be very important. When I was dating a met a lovely Irish bloke that kept me in stitches but his nose was seriously bent and I couldn't see past it.

ChaliceinWonderland · 23/04/2025 22:04

Oh yes! We are both 50s been together 6 months and we laugh all the time. Miserable exh never managed it.
Especially in bed!!

Been together 48 years. We tend to share a sense of humour most of the time. Send each other daft Instagram's these days.

annonymousse · 23/04/2025 22:18

His sense of humour is what made me fall in love with him. We're in our early 60s together 20 years and still laugh most days.

Firsttimetrier · 23/04/2025 22:19

We’ve known each other 16 years, been together 11 years and definitely do.

Probably not as much as we do normally as we have a 15 week old baby and a 2.5 year old, so very much in the trenches of a colicky newborn. However, we’re coming out the other side.

We laugh mostly over small silly things, like just now we had a race to see who could get ready for bed quicker and there is silliness with poking each others bums, trying to tickle one another, hiding toothbrushes etc. We sound strange but all light hearted!
