Does watching certain films make you more in love?

[GoldenMama]

My DH and I watched a rom com last night, the first time in a long time we spent that long in each others company and watching something I chose. Anyway we both enjoyed the film and after DH said "we should watch more soppy girly films as we always feel more in love afterwards".

I think I remember feeling the same a couple of years ago, but although it made me smile that he said it I couldn't say the same.

Oh dear GoldenMama, what's up?

I've recently kicked my dp out but in the early days I liked watching them with him, in the latter, no way.

make DS watch them with me all the time though DS gets quite into them, especially if they have Sandra Bullock in them. DS is in training (he's 14)

I don't really know what to think about our relationship at the moment, we seem to have completely separate lives, and I'm not too bothered about it either!

DH was supposed to be going away to work next month for a week which he does every so often, and he has just called to say he isn't going anymore which he is happy about as never wants to go anyway, and I realise that I was really looking forward to a bit of time without having to worry about him.

Whenever I watch Pretty Woman I feel annoyed at the ending. No way would they have stayed together, at some point down the line, Vivienne would have said to Edward 'Hey, I don't like what you're doing there, it is bad' and he would reply 'What do you know? You used to be a hooker!'

Pretty depressing sequel idea, but you know its what happened.

Those are my thoughts on this subject.

It's not nice to be in that sort of half/half place is it OP. I won't comment further as my recent actions (getting rid of DP) may colour anything I say but I'm sure a wise M'Ner will be along soon.

Thank you MissFaversham, I have been toying with the idea that we have nothing in common appart from our 2 children and surly that isn't enough for either of us. He does tell me he loves me, and not sure he has any idea I am thinking these things, but he's not easy to sit down and talk to.

The observation is that if it takes a film to have you sit down together for more than a few minutes that you have to engineer that kind of situationmore often. And maybe the next soppy film you should watch is Kramer vs Kramer or Mrs Doubtfire? Relax watching it together but then use the plot-lines as a springboard to a more serious discussion about where your relationship is heading.
