Romance

[NeedRomance11]

Is there romance is your relationship?
Does anyone have someone who is passionate about them ?
Anyones like in the movies ?
Or is it really just not like that 😕

Yea like the odd flowers here n there or arranging a night away ( obviously covid permitting ) And passion like u wanna rip there clothes off soon as look at them

Yes to all of those things. I don’t feel like it’s romantic as such, but I do think you need to show appreciation for each other for a relationship to thrive.

He usually brings cakes and treats for the kids, sometimes instead or sometimes in addition to the flowers too, so I wouldn’t call it romance as much as thoughtfulness.

Some people show their love in other ways though, maybe by doing the DIY, or cooking you dinner instead of taking you out etc so I’d be wary of saying there’s no romance based on flowers and passion. I’d love a man to put up shelves for me!

I wouldn't say there is romance or passion in my marriage. DH has ADHD and is emotionally detached.
I do know that he loves me though, and he does things in his own way which shows he cares. He'd also genuinely do anything I'd ask of him.
I realise I'm lucky in many ways with him, but I am jealous of people in relationships with emotion and especially passion.

I'm the one who is not very romantic. I think I'm v thoughtful and caring, but my dp is the one who is into romance so I try harder for him!

Maybe read up on love languages OP, it can be very eye opening

I find flowers are an empty and easy gesture. But getting up in the middle of the night to get you a glass of water when you have a coughing fit speaks volumes.
Gently moving your hair out of your eyes when you have your hands full or picking up your handbag when you go to leave a restaurant are all gestures of someone who cares deeply about you.
Real love is so much more than hearts and flowers.

My husband is autistic so safe to say a lot on this list doesn’t happen sadly. Still love him but I do wish there was a bit more romance and passion in my life but can’t have it all lol
