to find peopel who do EVERYTHIGN as a couple really dull

[NotCod]

gym today
tow couples( regulars)who not only go at the same time ( yadda yadda may onely have one care ok) but go on the SAME machines at the same time

( ok yadda ydadd none ofhtem look in any nEED so dont try that one)

is that SAd to have to go on the runner as the same time as your mate

?

or not

Chance would be a fine thing

reminds me of that match.com advert

Don't know about dull but it's just plain odd.

I like my freeeedom!

I hate shopping with Dh. He has no interest in clothes and is usually a mile ahead,muttering impatiently.
And I loathe supermarket shopping with him.
He assumes this superior role at t he checkout..'leave the packing to me'because only he can pack properly...GRRR

Hate couples who can't/won't do anything without each other. Boring, smug and insular. YANBU.

Sometimes me and DH dress the same unintentionally. Both go off and get dressed and come back and are both wearing jeans and black t-shirts or whatever it happens to be (not skirts/ dresses ) - obviously not all the time although I think we have similar tastes in colour and ideas about what to wear when. I also think it has something to do with colours that are in season - a while ago it was khaki and white, not sure he will be doing the purple thing so might be safe there.

My sister always goes shopping with her DH I think because he likes input in what she wears. This I find very odd because I would hate to be limited in expressing myself like that - seems very controlling to me. Like I said DH and I do have similar tastes but I have a few items of clothing I know he doesn't particularly like but I wear them anyway - usually saying, 'I'm wearing that cardigan you hate'

No, you are not BU.

Dh is back from Middle East on Friday. Been there since 10th July. Coincidently it is friend's bday and a gang of about 16 mates are going for a curry that night. We will walk in together, then prob sit at oppposite ends of table, talking to chums till we walk home. And then shag wildly. (it's been a while )

I wish my DH was into clothes shopping. I have a friend who's husband is brilliant at it, gives her great advice, scours the shops for things that would suit her and will happily shop for HER for hours on end!! My DH doesn't notice what I wear unless it's underwear!
I have to say I enjoy time with DH more than anyhone else, but at the same time we can be together and still not be clingy/samey/smothering. I do notice though that some couples are much better company when they are apart. I have friends who's persoanlities are hugely altered by the presence of their spouse. Now that I find odd.

Fizz, if you dress the same unintentionally do you change before you go out?
We've done, this, but I made DH change.

Not usually Bubbaluv. Sometimes we don't notice till we're out and other people notice for us! I always think it must be more embarassing for him than me - he is dressed like a girl after all.

Recently we were out with another couple and we had dressed the same and so had they and none of us had noticed till we were out. No mistaking who was who's other half that night!

I don't think it's odd that they go to the gym together, but find it odd when couples never do anything on their own. We know a couple a bit like that, if we organise a girls' trip to the cinema, he has to come too, and caused a bit of an issue with the group when DH organised a boys night out and said man refused to come cos his wife wasn't invited. Bizarre. Who'd want to listen to their drunken rants about rugby, football and other such "interesting" things?
We are a happy couple, but also have different individual interests. Def wouldn't want him with me everytime I went out.

If people are happy doing everything together (My DH and I don't, although with nearly four children we don't do an awful lo anyway) why is it an issue? As long as one isn't dominating the other, I don't know why it bothers anyone.,
The whole boys night out/girls night out thing I find so dated and moronic, I have to say. Friends who all happen to be female/male fine, but this girls night out....yuk.

good point twelvelegs - each to their own (including those of us who still enjoy a night out with the girls!)

no way to this each to their own nonsense

t his is AIBU

YABU [sticks out tongue!]

My sister and her DH are like this. If you question it you get a look like you're a bit of shit and the comment 'we come as a package' !!!

Not into this girls' night out palaver at all, prefer mixed company when socialising. Me and DH spend most of our non-working time with our 4 year old DD which no doubt makes us trebly sad but happy!

I had to take DP to the supermarket with me yesterday and it was a nightmare, he tried to wander aimlessly from aisle to aisle not going up and down each one methodically!! .... maybe its me thats a bit anal with that one

Then at the checkout he tried to put stuff on the conveyor belt in the wrong order

However we do rarely go out in the evening without each other, as he works long hours we like to spend our weekend together. Though he does play sports on his own, that I refuse to partake in!!

Jeepney, the supermarket shop takes careful handling I find. We go with a list and as soon as we are through the door I send DH off with a quest to find two or three items (think human bloodhound ). I continue in the logical fashion through the aisles omitting to get those things I have asked him to find. Hey presto approx 20 mins later I have done the majority of the shop and he has returned with - sometimes even- all the things I have asked him to find! If he hasn't got something I reveal my superior knowledge of said supermarket.

We then queue and pay, me handing him a carrier bag and say something like, 'Shall we keep all the bathroom stuff together in one bag?', otherwise he tries to put some carrots in with shampoo and a loaf of bread and another loaf of bread in a separate bag with shoe polish or something equally stored in another place. Takes a lot of effort on my part but not as much as if I had to untangle the mixed bags once we were home.

I do find him invaluable on those occasions where I need extra carrier bags cos I can never get them to open and he excels at that.

God I could NEVER go shopping with dh, we roll along together just fine but get us in Sainsburys together and it's like War of the fecking Roses. It takes all of my willpower not to attempt to stab him with a cucumber, so we never go shopping together. NEVER.

YANUBU. Although dh and I did do the whole gym together because it motivated me, it felt like he was my personal trainer.

I find it annoying that when you make new friends it is not long before they want to start doing things as a foursome. I like to have a life away from dh and just because I hit it off with someone doesn't mean that dh will hit it off with their dh. I also find it quite tedious going out in foursomes unless we are old friends.

LOL at ranting. That is me and my DH. We never do supermarket shopping together. I go or he goes.
