Sending my husband on a foot-rub course?

[seagull70]

Because he's flipping rubbish at it!

It starts off well but quickly descends into a nervous grabbing, poking action.

Every evening for the last 18 years I have presented him with my beautiful feet.

You'd think he would have perfected it by now

I wonder if the Open University have something suitable

YABU

Feet are not there to be touched. Errrr I couldn't think of anything worse!

My DP's ex used to demand foot rubs then snatch her feet away saying, "No, you're doing it wrong!" He's well shut.

Derek, you don't know what you're missing. A good foot rub is better than anything.

Yeah. Including that.

And that.

It took me years to train my husband how to stroke feet. But now he's an expert. I could let you borrow him for a bit if you like. See if he can train yours up

If you find one, let me know. At least he's trying!

Thank you for the offer vile I'm happy to chip in for board and lodging

his needs are simple. A can of guiness and cnn and he'll do you for hours

your feet.

he'll do your feet for hours.

rub your feet.

Laugh vile does he know what you're signing him up for?

God, I loooooove a foot rub. DW obliges half heartedly about once a decade.

Hermione, that is just unacceptable!

Oh god I want one so badly right now, I'm looking at unsuspecting DH reading a football thing and I'm aching for it.

He's either too light like a gerbil padding up and down or finishes really quickly. My poor bunions.

Vile thank you xxx

I agree with Derek, our feet were put on the ends of our legs for a reason. they are not there to be touched.

OP, do you think I should leave her?

She does have other redeeming features.

Vile now got dh laughing too and giving me a foot rub. Thank you... (Blisss)

Perhaps we could form a foot rub circle?

you're welcome.

god, pimping my husband out on the net. New low for me.

I have plantar fasiciitus (sp!) and trapped nerves that are in my feet so a foot rub can make me cry with relief.

I persuade H sometimes..... he's not really keen even though my feet aren't gross.

I have hopes for tonight as he is in a good mood due to being looked after all day.

Kids playing up re bedtime though so I might be asleep before the opportunity arises.

And yes, I agree it IS better than 'that'.

calloh 'like a gerbil padding up and down*
My H tends to sandpaper my feet if I'm not careful..

vile - your H sounds fab

Hermione nooooo! She sounds like a keeper regardless

Alright, I'll hang on to her a bit longer then

I once kicked DH because he was squeezing my other foot so tightly I honestly thought it was going to break. DH was oblivious to my sharp intake of breath and bulging eyes. We did go on a massage course together - everyone else in the room was saying ooh aahhhh. I was saying OW OW OW!

So a course is a nice idea in theory, but just be prepared for the fact that it might not work in practice.

DH sounds similar, he starts out doing well but then gets grabby!

I love having my feet rubbed. I am now training the children to do it. I've found they are more than willing when I get my purse and jangle some change at them. Still need to do more training on the littlest (age 4) but the big two (6and 8) are pretty good.

DH, I can't get him near my feet, I can scrub them, paint my nails, make them so beautiful and he still won't touch them. Makes me so sad that he won't rub my feet, I love a good foot rub so much.
