Sitting on husband (or wife) lap

[Floogal]

Who still sits on their DP lap? Are you ever too old to do it? Used to sit on DH lap a lot. But now because I'm a bit bigger than him, he sits on mine.

No, but there’s never been much of a size difference between us. We’re similar heights and I’m only a couple of stones lighter.

Im just imagining all these living rooms where couples are sat up one end of the sofa on each other’s laps. How odd. And do you mean as in like a child does with their legs dangling off/ resting on the floor?

With my ex I wouldn't, he was tiny and I outweighed him by 50lbs. My bf before that I would occasionally, if he was sitting on the deck in the only chair, he would tell me to sit on his lap and we would chat. I didn't find it weird but probably would have if we were around other people.

@Joyfultoes why is that odd? Is it anymore odd than the thought of a couple cuddling on one end of a bed? Or chosing to hug from behind in the kitchen rather than stand at other ends of the house?

It's a well recognised form of affection. It's really just another way of hugging your partner, unless you find the thought of hugging your partner odd.

Plus I think I grew out of caring if others were weird or odd when I was about 15! Who cares what other couples do!

Agree!

I do if my husbands sat in the computer chair and I want to chat/cuddle. Wouldn't on the couch

Can't imagine doing that in a million years ... but I loathe cuddling, sharing a sofa or even a bed . I am just not a 'physical' person.

Yes, I sit on my husband's knee (facing him) for a cuddle. It's nice in a completely non-sexual way.

He'd never walk again.

I used to love it when XH pulled me onto his lap for a cuddle. Or he’d sit on the sofa with his arms outstretched in an invite. It was lovely!

I remember watching my cousin sitting on her fiancé's lap one Xmas. It looked really odd, sort of Father/Daughter but creepy.

I adore my dh and we have been together for 20 years. But I need to be 'in the mood' even for a simple hug. I couldn't cope with sitting on his lap!

Yes I do - say at a bbq there are no seats I would perch on his knee.

And at home I would sit in his lap for cuddles - but then he's huge and I'm tiny! He would often pull me onto his lap for a cuddle - he's such an affectionate man and I wouldnt think there is anything weird about a lap cuddle!

Very occasionally for a couple of minutes at most any longer and his knees would be no more even though he tells me different. He's sat on mine a handful of times in almost 12 years.
