We are together 34 years.

DH> Heading to Waitrose do we need anything ?

No1 Peru chocolate please. My guilty pleasure with my only coffee of the day when I wake up, (keeper that he is he brings me coffee in bed)

DH>. Bloody hell, their asparagus is £20 a kilo. (Context we had been to the farm shop and paid £9 a kilo the day before 😀)

That was at the beginning of May.

Before that it was the beginning of April and we were discussing the Heineken Cup.

There was a thread earlier where the OP was concerned that the number of texts were being dialled back and less intense..

So just pondering……😎

Saving this thread! Thanks everyone! We see so many threads of bad marriages so it's refreshing to see some good ones too

I can't wait to get a fit bae so I can show him off like this 🥰

Married 10 years. Messaged a single word to him yesterday. “Butthead”. Sums it all up, really.

"the gardeners are back but so far only the doctor is downstairs giving them orders. I expect the bloke from next door and the bishop's brother in law will be down soon. The bloke from the petrol station is peering over the hedge"

Him: "tell them not to cut the rosemary. 🤣"

Context. block of flats, communal garden. Gardeners been here for 2 days. All the menfolk no longer of working age are supervising. Poor gardener got into bother Thursday for hacking at a rosemary bush. We love behind a petrol station.

24 years.

Summergrassstains · 24/06/2023 11:10

Me "let me know when I can get into that room" (his office upstairs in the house)
Him A gif of Jodie as Dr Who saying "Now, right now"

Even though he is upstairs wfh most days we will message throughout the day and we even lunch together. He sends me links to articles or twitter comments he has come across that he thinks I will find interesting, we do that with the children too, 20 and 17 but in a family discord group. I also send Dh stuff too, sometimes gifs of bunnies because he is a big old softie.

Together 27 years, married 24 years, he is my favourite person, kind, generous, leaves me love notes in the fridge and we have raised 2 sons to be the same way. They are lovely.

deveronvalley · 24/06/2023 11:24

Together 21 years. Last texts were moaning about the roofer delaying again. We run a business together so texts are usually work related. Sometimes photos of fish he’s caught. We text maybe 2 or 3 times a week.

hookiewookie29 · 24/06/2023 11:46

Me: did you order a mini LED inspection lamp from ebay?
Him: what?
Me: never mind, it's a footpeg!( he restores motorbikes)

Romantic eh!
Been together 27 years!

MissCherryCakeyBun · 24/06/2023 11:46

We text a lot during the day, been together 10 years. This was yesterday as we have a very poorly cat and need to monitor him when we are out the house. We are also house hunting hence the house link Blush

Idratherbepaddleboarding · 24/06/2023 12:22

DH and I what’s app a lot when we’re not together but the last thing was me telling him my civil service COL payment is hopefully going to be paid in my July wage, then him what’s apping me a picture of his leg as a friend’s dog bit him 😵. Me telling him he might need a tetanus jab and him saying he hasn’t got time to go 🙈. Usually it’s pictures of our dog sleeping 😂. Been together 17 years and married 14.

wildworldtumes · 24/06/2023 12:23

DH is the top one.

Sent to each other on our 16th wedding anniversary yesterday (been together 19 years)

Together over 40 years

To DP - have we still got those green garden chairs? 3 weeks ago

From DP - 2 weeks ago. Have taken dogs out

Tarkan · 24/06/2023 12:27

I forgot to say last night that we've been together 10 years and married for 5.

He texted me again this morning from the front door telling me to come downstairs and see something.

A snail has somehow snuck into our house and was on the inside of the front door.

Most of our conversations are via phone rather than text. He's a bus driver so I don't text when he's working in case it disturbs him (he can't mute it completely in case the managers call him) but he'll often phone me during his breaks. I don't answer the phone to anyone else so my call logs are literally pages of his name. Blush

Justchooseone · 24/06/2023 12:28

Yesterday

me 450k
DP yeah
That’s a lot of wood

Regarding the house that just went up for sale opposite us!!

Together 5.5 years, 1 DC

SofiYol · 24/06/2023 12:34

NeverDropYourMooncup · 24/06/2023 12:48

The last three months;

'Got any spare Pearson 3Fs?'

3 do?

'Perfect. I'll let her know'

np

'RTA top of the hill. Buses fucked, walking down to roundabout.'

I'll go the other way, thanks.

Keys under this (photo of back of cat).

Eleven years. We've really stepped up the communicating recently, as you can see - for the first six years, we probably texted each other about 4 times a year.

An actual phone call, as in making the phone ring, means an utter calamity that requires immediate assistance.

nokidshere · 24/06/2023 12:49

We text most days about various mundane stuff. This was the last one this morning.

DH (out picking 'bits' up) - do you want drugs
Me - yes please
Dh - scored 👍🏻

Together 40yrs married for 36

And the drugs were paracetamol for ongoing chronic pain lol

Marmite27 · 24/06/2023 15:10

Last exchange was me bing miffed that yet again I’ve picked the short straw of children’s activities, I’m melting while he’s in an air conditioned cinema.

apparently it’s because I’m cheap! The cheek.

Cheeringmeup · 24/06/2023 15:12

Usually "what do you want from the shop?" sort of thing, but the latest was a bit different:
"Fox was in the house😱 I left the back door open for cat to come in and went through to the computer for a minute, next thing there's claws scrabbling on the floor and the fox is running around screaming! Picked up the hoover and managed to steer it back out. Cat's fine, just startled."
Married 28 years, together 33 😊

xogossipgirlxo · 24/06/2023 15:16

13 years together, married almost 2 years.

From him:
sent me a video of helicopter taking off from our local football pitch
I recorded the most important event of decade in our area

Always on time, should work for Sky News 😂

xogossipgirlxo · 24/06/2023 15:17

Oh and we actually do text (or sext 😂) a lot everyday.

stayathomegardener · 24/06/2023 15:18

Are the chickens in?
No reply.

Just remembered Glastonbury is probably on Tv if you want to watch.

I'm already watching it 🙂
I'll watch Love Island in the bath then.
❤️
Sheep shearer's coming at 3.

Sums us up pretty well.

Met 33 years ago, married for 28.

ApolloandDaphne · 24/06/2023 15:19

Last night.

DH sneezed loudly when he was tidying up before bed.

I text him "bless you" from my bed!

He text back apologising for being so loud.

We have been married 37 years.

TheGoogleMum · 24/06/2023 15:21

I messaged him earlier today from the supermarket and to tell him about some kids clothes a saw. We message sometimes just if one of us is upstairs or downstairs though and can't be bothered to shout or go up/down stairs. We've been together nearly 15 years
