Do you often belly laugh with your DH/DP?

I mean a real belly laugh that makes you cry. I just realised I never do or have with my DP yet I do often with my kids and did with ex’s in the past.

Yes we do. One of the reasons why I fell in love with him was our chemistry and how he made me laugh.

Daily, multiple times a day. We laugh a lot and its lovely. Reading on here does make me realise we are lucky to have each other. I wish everyone could feel this way.

Petrarkanian · 02/04/2024 20:34

All the time. Life is pointless without laughter, we are both very funny.

bellsbuss · 02/04/2024 20:40

All the time, even when he's annoyed me he can still make me laugh

icantwaitforsummer · 02/04/2024 20:45

I think belly laugh until you cry is down to the sort of person you are, more than how close you are as a couple.

My DH makes me laugh every day, but I rarely cry/snort with laughter. But my friends, my son, my family and my colleagues all make me laugh every day and I would say I'm a happy person that laughs regularly.

And I'm happy with my DH, been together 16 years and we are quite content. So for anyone worrying, don't worry.

RosePombear · 02/04/2024 20:46

All the time!. He’s the funniest person I know.

LuluBlakey1 · 02/04/2024 20:51

Yes, and also a giggle that turns into unable to stop laughing. Then it becomes a thing we remind each other of and end up laughing about again- often when we're lying talking late at night in bed and we can't stop the laughing again. It's helpless and silly and I love it. Sometimes we reduce it to a word that can make us laugh weeks later (although not as extreme). We still laugh at the word 'mop' which isn't funny at all, and the stiry behind it isn't funny but we laughed so much one night over a mop about 10 years ago that I couldn't breathe.

MumOfOneAwesomeHuman · 02/04/2024 21:01

Yes all the time. It's 27 years and he still makes me laugh until I cry. DD has his sense of humour and also makes me laugh until I cry. It's the best when we're all laughing like that. Having a partner in life who makes me laugh is a top priority for me. Life is too short to be miserable.

Axx · 02/04/2024 21:13

Yes all the time, there's things we can mention that have happened 20 years ago that get us crying with laughter. I'm lucky, he's a great man.

TMess · 02/04/2024 21:29

All the time. I had a csection last year and he had to be so careful not to make me laugh as it hurt so much, it was really difficult because we especially get the giggles when we’re sleep deprived.

MyLadyTheKingsMother · 02/04/2024 21:46

12 years here. DAILY laughs and affection

CrushingOnRubies · 02/04/2024 21:48

All the time one of the things j love about him/us

SoEmbarrassed2024 · 02/04/2024 21:49

No, but I honestly can't recall belly laughing with anyone in the last couple of decades 😱

Katieweasel · 02/04/2024 21:57

Nope. Some days he barely says 10 words to me. Not in a nasty way but he is just a genuine introvert. It wasn't as obvious when DS was living at home. Now he can make me belly laugh. There are days when the silence makes me want to scream.

HaggisHhahaha · 02/04/2024 22:04

Yes and it’s the glue that keeps us together as well as the love/affection/children/commitment

I know I’m very lucky that I still really enjoy my husbands company after 26yrs and we always have the giggles together

AmaryllisChorus · 02/04/2024 22:11

DH makes me laugh almost every day. He is very funny. But DS2 has even drier sense of humour and perfect timing. He makes me laugh so hard I can't breathe. Not every week though. He's grown up so I only see him every few weeks. And DS1 has a sillier, gentler humour that makes me giggle. They are all funny men.

LadeOde · 02/04/2024 22:12

My DH is very funny and my humour matches his. At least every week we belly laugh about something together, but lots of chuckles in between. Everyone that visits us ends usually up in titters and when SIL visits its even worse because her humour is so similar to her brothers (DH) they finish each others gags. Throw BIL in and we're all on the floor holding our sides. It's one of the best things about my inlaws.

prettydesertflower · 02/04/2024 22:19

Yes, almost daily. Usually from taking the Michael out of each other.

zeibesaffron · 02/04/2024 22:23

We laugh all the time and properly belly laugh about twice a week - last time was on sunday when we were playing a board game!

I couldn’t be with someone who didn’t make me laugh 😂😀👍

Mumto3Princes · 02/04/2024 22:25

Yes……..mainly when we play fight 😂

He also plays stupid tricks on me which make us laugh!

We also belly laugh with out children too - they unite us in laughter because of the really silly things they say and do that we can’t help but laugh at 😂

teacheroffsick · 02/04/2024 23:03

No. He is either telling me off or correcting me. Or he's laughing at me in a way that makes me feel shit. We don't laugh together anymore.

Ineedwinenow · 02/04/2024 23:34

We do laugh together but I genuinely don’t think anyone ever has made me belly laugh nor him either, we do joke around but I don’t think we have those sort of personalities where we cry with laughter.

Amybelle88 · 03/04/2024 00:36

Yes - he's a fucking nightmare at times but he's hilarious and makes me howl daily.
Hes alright. I'll keep him 😂❤️

wherediditallgosowrong · 03/04/2024 22:18

For all the people who never laugh with their partners, how do you cope???

NewMe2024 · 03/04/2024 22:20

I’m single at the moment but have only had serious relationships with people who really make me laugh like this. Or rather, we make each other laugh / laugh at the same things. It’s a fundamental part of fancying someone for me.
