Do you and your dp laugh together?

[Brunocatmon]

That's it really.

Do you and your significant other have a laugh together?

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

My DH has a similar sense of humour and we like a lot of comedy shows and comedians. Sometimes we don't like exactly the same and that is never an issue. DH is very funny at times and I don't think I could be the partner of someone who didn't have a good sense of humour.

Yes & I do laugh at him aswell, he has some very strange habits & views (he's probably on the spectrum). Been together 29 year's. Not always easy but I've recently realised that laughter & our sense of humour has probably kept us together throughout.

Yes often! We've been together nearly 30 years and are 'oldies'.

Yes, we make each other laugh all the time. Been together 22 years. I don’t think we’ve ever spent a day together when we haven’t made each other laugh out loud multiple times.

I’d struggle to spend 24 hours in the company of someone who wasn’t funny, let alone my entire life. Humour is my default way of dealing with everything. I really, really struggle with people who are earnest and serious about everything. My whole family’s always been funny, though, so it’s what I’m used to.

As for what we laugh at - all sorts of stuff really. Sometimes it’s in-jokes between the two of us, sometimes it’s just dry observations on things we find ridiculous, sometimes it’s really silly stuff like daft words or names we’ll make up. DP is also a master of physical comedy and very good at making me laugh just with weird gestures or expressions.

We’re both big on sarcasm and irony too. Sometimes we’ll laugh about the darkest and most inappropriate things in each other’s company, things we’d never joke about in front of anyone else.

Yes in our 50s and I ensure life has some fun. He could get very serious and ‘grumpy old man’ with a different partner I think, but he is happy to take the piss out of himself and do silly dad jokes for the kids (who cringe because they’re no longer kids which makes it funnier for me).

Yes we find each other hilarious. One way or another we've had very difficult times and taking the piss is how we get through it. ----

We did all the time up until our big fight nearly a year ago now, we’re trying to figure out whether to stay together. I miss the laughs so much

edited to add together 20 years

Often, actually - several times a day.

We’ve been together 21 years - he literally laughed me into bed the night we met, and we haven’t stopped since.

Yes mostly at his stupid jokes or me having a crazy 5 mins. Been together 26 years

Late fifties, together nearly 30 years. Laugh together often.

Yes, often. Been together 36 years.

Yes frequently, mid 50s married 25 years.

Yes, the humour between us is what I'd say is the strongest. We have been together since 15 and were now 30 and 33

No. Me and my exDP of 11 years seperated last year and this was one of the reasons. We never ever laughed together. I lived with someone who never smiled at me nor acknowledged me when he walked through the door. I left. Life is too short

Yes we laugh a lot. We wind each other up at times but there’s a lot of laughter as well. Together nearly 40 years.

Watching that TV show .. Last One Laughing … made me realise how often we both laugh without even realising it!

Yes definitely. We’re 42/44 and been together 20 years.

Being able to see the funny side of things is very important in a relationship. It gets you over the bad times. DH and I are very different people but we have the same values and both have a love of the absurd. We talk a lot and still entertain each other. We laugh every day. Our children have turned out to be pretty good company.

I just think some families laugh more than others. My own parents were poor but the level of witticisms was pretty high, DH family comfortably off but very glum and woe-is-me....no wonder he fell for me!

Married 53 years.

Yes, every day.....couldn't imagine being with someone who didn't make me laugh!
Together 50 years❤️

Not always outright belly laughs, but we have fun everyday, and are both very playful. Mid 50s, been together 8 years.

Yes, it’s rarely a belly laugh, but we share the same sense of humour a lot. And find the same things stupid or silly. I’m not into practical jokes or slapstick type humour and luckily neither is he. It would be awful if we didn’t have a laugh…and isn’t that part of marriage being contractually obliged to laugh at their jokes? And vice versa.

I need an upgrade. When does one find the funny men? He’s just not funny to me at all. I laugh most days but with friends and my DS.

This thread has made me sad. Me and my DH very rarely laugh together. It's usually only if one of the kids has said something funny. He is very serious most of the time. We are going through a rough patch and have a lot of problems. We have been together for 15 years, married for 7. Been together since we were teens. I long to be happy everyday but most days I'm not.

Yep. It’s been 40 years. Still make each other laugh.

Been together 36yrs, we laugh every day., DH always says or does something funny.

Can I follow up? I feel we don't really make each other laugh a lot. But we do make each other smile! I don't think it's a problem in our relationship, just a problem (or simply a characteristic?) in me and maybe him.
