Do you talk to your DP/ H in a stupid voice?

[YonderRevoltingPeasantWhoIsHe]

AIBU to think this is a natural evolution in a relationship - that you develop a particular voice to talk to your DP in? Like some kind of private joke between you?

Like, ever since we watched The Wire about five years ago DP does the voice of Senator Clay Davis periodically ('Sheeeeeeeit') and calls me 'muthafucka' (in an affectionate way, really!). He is from Yorkshire in reality.

Ever since he made a big deal about getting a cat I do this weird cat voice when I talk to him. Once we were going for a walk late at night and I was talking to him in it and our NDNs came round the corner - they have never looked at me quite the same way...

Is this a normal thing that happens in a relationship after a few years or are we just freaks?

Do you think she should leave him AF?

not at all, AZZ

I think they both are as weird as each other

< equal ops judgypants >

Like cactus man and cactus woman AF?

Yeees, I see what you mean.

(not implying you're both cacti OP )

For some stupid reason, DP and I speak in cod german, with accents like the stupid characters from Allo Allo.

e.g.

DP - ver iz der charger fur ze mobilephonen

me - its is in de nahe von the sofa

What a pair of absolute twats.

My DH sings alternative lyrics to songs on the radio when we are getting ready to go out - for example 'Last night a DJ shagged my wife' and 'Last Christmas l gave you my arse ' and many more l cant recall at the moment. l end up going out looking like Bette Davis in Baby Jane because although l know his whole repertoire word for word and l know whats coming - it still cracks me up.

If I shout "DH" (his real name) he will not hear, however loud I am. If I shout in a silly sing song voice "SillyfemalevariationofDH'svoice" he will hear me.

Hahahahahahaha loving all these different voices from people!

Loads of different voices/characters, all the time. Too many silly "only us" things that develop from just about anything. I know this sounds really stupid outside of our universe, but when we get into full swing, we're mostly communicating to each other in some combination of bird-like chirps, impersonating that we think the cat would say to either of us, or generally running around, chasing each other, wrestling and other such child like behaviour. It really has developed into a full blown language/behaviours like animals display over the years but it started within a few weeks - from a David Attenborough programme, I think.

There's a voice that's similar to that viral video of the girl coming round after having had dental work, and she says in cute, witchy type voice "It's allllllllllllllllll very peculiar" that we do a lot. And something to do with me chasing him around on my knees, as if I was incredibly short (mainly because it freaks him out).

I dunno. I don't think it's sad or stupid. I think it demonstrates that like other animals, we need those shared behaviours and languages and ticks and chirps and stuff. What we do is truly only understood by us two, and it is only exactly the same for every other couple that does it. I'm sure other animals don't bat an eyelid! Our cat just looks bored.

Love, love, love "Hello Daaaaaavvvveee" :D

other people's private lives, eh ?

I thank the Lord I don't have to particpate in them

Me and dd remember an advert from years ago (it was for smiths square crisps, it had a knight in it who shouted 't'isn't normal' in stentorian tones). It made us roar, and now if we see anything slightly odd we shout 'tisn't normal' and laugh like drains.

I assure you that I am a perfcetly normal person. Just a bit of a moron, evidently.

I thought you were going to be talking about those cutesey baby voices that make me want to kill people

Right now I am talking to DP in a stupid I-have-a-sort-throat-and-can't-actually-speak voice.

Otherwise, no, not really.

DH does fiddley diddley scottish versions of pop songs-it is joy to behold.

There are also silly words that only we use.

If he stopped putting a toWel on his head and singing 'little donkey' I would leave!

FUCK THE LOT OF YER YOU JUDGEY TYPES. looks at galss of port thinjs it mat be bed time.

GetOrf - that is exactly it!!! Thank Christ some else is as fucked up as us gets it.

Agent! I am not a cactus. I did pretend to be The Evil Christmas Dwarf tonight though - why is there no Christmas dwarf emoticon???

I love having a shufty into the windows of other peoples private lives, it makes me feel normal grateful for what I have.

Trills DP actually does have a really sore throat this week and his voice keeps coming and going - so I keep making him say 'Sir, it's happened again' like that teenaged fastfood employee from The Simpsons and laughing at him.

Totally normal, me and DH do it all the time - I'm sure people think we're nuts!

Agent if we are your standard of normality, there is No Hope for you. Sorry.

deviants

I've come to realise that cacti are just for lazy people who can't be arsed to water a proper plant.

So I'm sorry for any offence my remark caused you and your DH Revolting

'I'm sure people think we're nuts!'

That means you do it in front of other people.

Have you no shame??

I love "running after him on my knees like someone really short"

Me and DH do voices from "The Wire" as well, mainly Stringer Bellisms

Sometimes it's like we're speaking another language but I love it and love that I'm with someone I can be a bit of a moron with

You want to starve a plant for water? Cacti are for wimps. I have a geranium I haven't watered since October and it isn't dead.

Me and dh discuss this all the time.He is a copper and says a six foot burly bloke will come into the office and phone his gf and speak in a baby whiney voice "what are you having for tea?" squeak squeak. Id go right off him if he did that tbh.

None whatsoever

I would never, ever do the stupidities in front of other people.

DP knows my and dd's t'isnt normal shouting, he maintains that such an advert never existed, and we are a pair of complete fools.

The latest with me and DP is to say 'tak' to each other instead of thanks and for helvede (Danish for oh for fucks sake), because of the Killing addiction.

I like you fig
