AWBU to do stuff like this? [lighthearted!]

[WillyWielderandtheChocolateFac]

Before you all froth up, I am NOT a troll, been here ages (I refuse to now list all the hilarious quotes from classics that would apparently prove this, you know the drill).

My question is - how weird are you with your husband/wife/boyfriends/girlfriends when you're in private?

I ask because in the last few days I, in a hunger-induced state of giddiness, asked if I could have a go of holding OH's penis while he had a piss. He was initially concerned - he did look at me as though I had lost the plot and then said I would 'do it wrong' - but I gave it a shot and it was very funny (although maybe you had to be there).

In the past we have had other ridiculous escapades such as the time he made me wash him in the bath while he tried to be as much of a dead weight/unhelpful as possible (very funny, ends up with a very wet bathroom), and the time when we spent several days citizens-arresting each other for things around the house and then forcing the other to sit through a trial where the judge was our dog before they could go free (e.g. on trial for using last of the milk, dog walked away which was a clear indication that His Honour was sentencing the defendant to go to the shop for more but also to beg forgiveness).

Are we especially weird? Do other couples do stupid inane shit like this when they're alone?

You're weird we have 3 DC so I have no idea how we are in private cos we're never alone!

Are we especially weird?

Yes but you sound fun weird :-)

I wouldnt do the holding the penis thing but the rest of it is right down our alley, we spend most of our time when we're alone randomly slumping on each other, screwing up bits of paper and throwing them at each other, or poking each other until the other tells the poker to pack it in

We're young and in love, of course we wind each other up

I love this! Me and my husband are weird like this too!

Just yesterday we were cleaning up our bedroom and he came running in, rugby tackled me to the floor to pin me down just to try and lick/kiss my face. His reason: the baby does it to you, I thought I'd give it a go

Being weird and a little childish is great. We have a lot of laughs. Feel it keeps me going some days!

Dp and I always throw dish towels and various other light items at one another which usually turns into a competition. It's always in fun, not violence. Not as weird as the stuff you mention but our 2 year old certainly finds it funny, lol.

You sound hilarious though 😂

That's exactly it @HappyMama01 - I spend so much of my day being professional and sensible, when I get home it's nice to be able to give in to the stupider and more childish side of my brain! @Queenofthestress, we do the slumping thing too - my favourite is to go for a hug and then just quietly say 'deadweight incoming' and drop all muscle tone so he has to hold me up. Bit harder when he does it back because he's at least a foot taller than me hahaha!

No, me and my ex used to do weird shit all the time.

One of the things I miss about him actually, all the little in-jokes and silliness. Treasure it!

Awww I love this! DH and I have loads of weird/stupid things we do together. The one we do most often is we give our baby his own voice and speak to eachother through him. Over time he's developed his own personality. Is very bossy and thinks he owns the house and we're all his lodgers 😂

We joke around a lot and take the piss out of eachother.

Not gonna lie I've kind of always wondered what it's like to have a willy so the beginning of your post is very intriguing!

We are still very much in love, tell eachother multiple times a day and are very affectionate and I honestly put this down to how much fun we have most of the time. We honestly never argue.

Wow, you are so kooky and zany and offbeat and whacky and crazytown!

I spend so much of my day being professional and sensible, when I get home it's nice to be able to give in to the stupider and more childish side of my brain!

This exactly. My husband has a very stressful job, so at home I think it's great that he can just be stupid and childish. I'm sure his work colleagues would be amazed at how different he is at home. We have a lot of laughs at home, much better than being miserable.

We talk on behalf of the dog Ddog is very body confident and therefore likes to lie spread out on his back and ask if we can see his balls.

I wouldn’t want to assist dh have a pee though.

We are fairly silly and toilet humour is very popular here.

Completely get it we are very silly even after 21 years, he still finds it hilarious if he finds me standing/ walking slowly / cooking to run up and pull my pants down - shout something along the lines of pants king and run off or give numerous wet willies or to stick fingers in someone’s mouth if they yawn - I give as good as I get

By someone I mean each other not random strangers - cause that would be weird

We do the dog voice thing too. My boy thinks very highly of himself and his looks.

My DP and I sometimes pretend we’re other people, we have several silly characters.
For example I went to the toilet in a restaurant yesterday and when I came back I pretended I didn’t know him and tried to chat him up whilst pretending to be a Russian escort 😂 Sounds weird when you write it down but it was funny at the time.

My DP makes me laugh in a way no one else can

I’m single but I love the idea of having a trial with the dog as the judge!
I do silly voices for the cat talking to the dds. And he will give the weather forecast for cats - “cats are advised to be home by 6pm because it’s going to rain.” He has a lisp so would pronounce it wain!

🤣 RiversDisguise

My hubby carries me on his shoulders when we watch Glastonbury on TV (until his back gives in that is!)

@RiversDisguise, you sound fun!

I like that lots of people do stuff like this - @papergirl1968 you may borrow my dog judge, he takes a very poor view of food-related crimes, but he is also very quick to forgive if you bribe him.

@KatieMMumsnet that is excellent! For the full experience you should really pour some warm cider down his head as you shoulder dance, he would definitely appreciate your attention to detail in recreating the true Glasto experience!

@WillyWielderandtheChocolateFac thanks but no... I realise how unfun I am when I read of the goofball antics and hilarious japes on this thread!

Just realised I do the deadweight thing. I think it’s good to keep the fun going, there’s too much serious stuff going on, we all need a bit of silliness

Actually @RiversDisguise you make a point I hadn't considered - I've always been quite silly and relaxed in all my relationships - so it's not something that specific to me and OH as a couple - but (if you have a significant other) what are you like at home together? Do you not have in-jokes, or is it just that mine are all examples of excessive immaturity (which I could well believe)? Genuinely interested!

Yes completely!

Things we do:

• Bother each other when we use the loo for a wee (e.g. sitting on his lap, offering commentary on each other's technique etc). I tend to sing the Russian national anthem to him through the locked door when he spends too long in there!

• he plays me like an instrument: as in I make a sound effect for each part of my body which I will repeat whenever he pokes/hits/prods it.

• dead hand in the middle of the night: just release our hand as a dead weight onto the other person's face just as they are drifting off and then slooooowly slide it across the face so it feels like a corpse's lifeless hand

• accents - many, many accents. And also characters! DH once commented that he'd forgotten what my real voice sounded like because I do it so often!

• hunting each other around the house and play fighting (with much tickling)

• I've written him cheques/bank transfers for a penny for stupid shit. E.g. "For anal probing" which he never cashes but keeps in his wallet

I love our relationship - as you said, after a long day of being an adult it's nice to come home and be playful and wilfully stupid! I dont know how people survive otherwise!

Oh and also I use his foot as a phone for "important messages" e.g. "our supreme ruler has decreed that husbands should take out the bins".
