Roamnce in Marriage

[clemsonfan]

Ok, you married guys out there, I have some questions out there for you about romance.

1. Is romance alive and thriving in your marriage?

2. If so, how do you keep romance alive?

[oliegirl]

For one thing, I always try to spell romance correctly ;)

[clemsonfan]

Oops!

[miked]

1. Yes
2. Duct tape

[Marc Vaughan]

I think it stays on life support for most people, romance is never quite the same once you're married and know the other person farts in their sleep ;)

(but personally I've found that regular dates regardless of circumstances helps a lot)

[gkb]

She has boobs...that's romantic.

[Marc Vaughan]

(oh and sending small random gifts/flowers every now and again doesn't hurt :D)

Ok, you married guys out there, I have some questions out there for you about romance.

2. If so, how do you keep romance alive?
1. Yes.

2. I pretty much throw the broad on a table, bring out the toothbrush, and go to town.

[st.cronin]

1. Yes

2. Girl on girl porn, mostly.

[oliegirl]

I think a lot of people think romance has to be something big and grand, but I think it's the opposite. Whenever we (hubby and I) try to plan something romantic, a really nice date night, etc...it just doesn't "click" and feels too forced. But when we go on the porch after dinner and just sit the two of us and talk and look at the stars...that is really romantic for us. Or just deciding to take a walk, it's the little moments that happen that at least to me, mean more.

Last week I'd had a really crappy day, didn't feel well, bad customers at work, etc...we've been trying to cut down on soda so we aren't keeping it in the house...he stopped on the way home and got me a diet coke w/lime b/c he knew I was craving one. That was romantic. Not "take me to bed or lose me forever" romantic, but it was sweet.

Oh yeah, dirty text messages and cell phone pics also help with the spontaneity ;)

I guess now is a good time to tell you that he sends those to me, too.

You should ask your wife out on a date. Treat it as a first date and get to know each other all over again.

[Warhammer]

1) Yes

2) You gotta work at it. I had been out of town for two weeks, prior to getting back in town, I arranged to have a friend babysit the kids that Friday night. My wife called on the way back to work, and I explained that I had to be at home for a business call around 5:30. We should go shopping after that, etc., etc. 5:30 rolled around, the babysitter arrived (the wife's best friend) and I told her to pick a place to eat, we were going out for dinner and a movie. She was absolutely dumbfounded. She loved it, and has been working harder herself because of it.

[I. J. Reilly]

I agree with Pumpy, proper hygiene is very important in a marriage.

[RendeR]

So sitting here at home in a wife-beater t-shirt and my boxer-breifs is...bad?

[Noop]

Cats wear wife-beaters and boxers?

[RendeR]

*shrugs* I guess *i* do.

[RendeR]

I should clarify, its not a true wife-beater shirt but it is a sleeveless white cotten shirt.

[Eaglesfan27]

1. Yes

2. We plan alone time for us to just focus on each other at least a few hours several days of every week. We plan on doing this at least once a week once we have kids as well (fortunately her mom lives within driving distance to baby sit.) Any relationship needs time put aside to keep it thriving.

I just threw up a little in my mouth.

If memory serves, Clemsonfan is a girl...

I know, that is what makes it so hot!!!!

[Pumpy Tudors]

My wife and I are going out on a date tonight. We're going to a restaurant that we visit often. We'll be served by a pregnant waitress, and we're going to take turns trying to get the waitress to come home with us. My wife almost convinced her the last time we were there, but then I spilled my Mountain Dew on the table, and the pregnant chick ran away to get a towel.

In any case, when we get home - with or without the waitress - the date will probably end as it always does. We'll let the cat nail me a couple of times with the strap-on.

[M GO BLUE!!!]

Pumpy is getting weirder.

:jawdrop:

[RendeR]

Yeah but at least in his weirdness there is entertainment.

[M GO BLUE!!!]

That's why we love him as we have never loved a man before.

With feline sex toys.

[RomaGoth]

Pumpy is getting weirder.

Nah, he is just trying to find himself.

[MikeVic]

Nah, he is just trying to find himself.

I bet he's in my ass.

[Maple Leafs]

Yes, absolutely. No question. It's a huge priority for both of us, and always will be.

Wait, did you mean"sex"? Because, no.

[Noop]

Well I didn't know that clemsonfan was a woman.

[RomaGoth]

I bet he's in my ass.

Is this TCY Junkie?

[Lorena]

I bet he's in my ass.

That's hot.

[M GO BLUE!!!]

To get this thread back on track I did have a friend who was able to combine romance and marriage. Unfortunately for him, his wife found out.

[cuervo72]

Ahh, nothing like finding your husband's internet hangout, joining up, and then asking a question about romance in marriage.


Well...except for finding your husband's internet hangout, joining up, putting him through the ringer, divorcing him, and hanging around after getting remarried as a constant reminder of everything he's gone through.

[clemsonfan]

Ahh, nothing like finding your husband's internet hangout, joining up, and then asking a question about romance in marriage.


I was truly looking for ideas in this thread, nothing more.

[Butter]

Nothing like being a bitter old man.

Pumpy, can we get the dogs to do anything with the strap-on? Ours just kind of stare at it. Maybe we should just get a cat, that might work.

I'm totally becoming gay for you, in a completely non-homosexual way.

[Noop]

clemsonfan is cuervo's ex wife?

[Pumpy Tudors]

I bet he's in my ass.
Nothing stays in your ass for very long.

Well, I would suggest taping sunglasses to the strap-on, and then the dog will think Tom Cruise has come over. That should get the dog to do something with it.

At least she's not asking about how to fudge a bank statement.

[SFL Cat]

well...this whole thread is....odd.

[sabotai]

I don't think I've seen a more appropriate time to use this: :popcorn:

[Radii]

This is the best thread ever is what it is.

[Neuqua]

I thought clemsonfan and Butter were married...

[Lorena]

I thought clemsonfan and Butter were married...

i think they are

[Galaxy]

We need a flere diagram.

[Eaglesfan27]

I thought clemsonfan and Butter were married...

But it seems like she is Cuervo's ex wife as well? I think the awkward thread needs to give over its title to the new contender.

[Noop]

She isn't cuervo's wife.

[Mrs. Schmidty]

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

yeah - good luck with that, bro

LOL that's exactly what I was thinking! Our daughter has been at my parent's out of state for 3 weeks and we JUST had our first "date" in that time. We pick her up on Sunday - hahaha

[Antmeister]

We have recently discovered the brilliance of "drop-off" daycares. For 2 kids, we pay $11 an hour and they have the joy of playing among peers. Was great for the wife's birthday.

[cuervo72]

No no - my only relation to Clemson is that I had an orange Clemson sweatsuit as a kid that I just *loved*. I'm just saying. You know...hypothetically.

[GoldenEagle]

Well...except for finding your husband's internet hangout, joining up, putting him through the ringer, divorcing him, and hanging around after getting remarried as a constant reminder of everything he's gone through.

I agree 100% with this statement. I have often wondered myself while she is still here.

[AZSpeechCoach]

1. Yes

2. Pumpy brings the strap-on over. Please sanitize it this time.

[kcchief19]

It's truly baffling. Kudos to Cuervo for saying what a lot of us think but didn't have the balls to say.

Indeed. I would not want any sort of rage released on me.

I got it now. I was a bit dense earlier tonight.

[MikeVic]

Eek. Nice thread.

[Antmeister]

Um.....I must have missed an entire battleship passing me in at the crack of dawn. When did the oliegirl/Radii thing happen? Because everyone else seems to know about it except me. Okay, maybe I don't really want to know. I will look forward to the Awkward 2008 thread.

[digamma]

Not if it is because the know-how was already there.

Yeah, but that's $264 a day.

My wife and I get one of those weekly motel rates and just lock the kids in the room with a bag of Doritos and we're good to go.

[SFL Cat]

borderline surreal

[RendeR]

I'm with Ant....When did the battleship set sail and why the hell weren't we informed??

I demand details!

This thread is full of assumptions and people taking themselves too seriously.

The winner is the part where cuervo made a sarcastic asshole statement about a girl and everyone immediately assumed she was involved with him. High comedy. I was reading that like I was watching a disaster.

There's nothing wrong with sarcastic asshole statements, they are my bread and butter. I'm just saying people read them as serious statements, got it????!!! :thumbsup:

[RendeR]

No, I don't understand at all, can you diagram it for me?

[korme]

I am not fiere-imsaho. So, no.

back to school with you then, damn unedumicated kids these days....

SO this "Cliff" he's got the whole story? he can fill me in on the details?

I don't want to do research. I can't be the only one who has missed this....or can I? Either way, I don't read all the threads on this board, and if it is like so many others, people tend to refer to things in a thread I never read.

Sorry about the threadjack ;) I really don't know if posting about this is a good idea or not, but I love this community and its people and really don't want it to look like I'm taking part in fucking around with people, so there you go.

Uhhhhhhh, honey?

Where's that thread delete button? This might be a good time for it.

I don't know how you missed it.

I don't know how I missed this thread until now. Pumpy no wonder you think your dick is so big, you have to use a toothbrush. Really.

So your saying you didn't use it. If so, I don't even know you anymore.

[larrymcg421]

Not if it is because the know-how was already there.

In retrospect, digamma wins this thread.

[AZSpeechCoach]

What is TCY's fascination with Pumpy's dick? In every thread I read, there is some TCY Junkie reference to Pumpy's dick. It is a magnificent veiney bastard, but give it a rest!

I haven't talked about his penis since the onion rings comment over a month ago. And you even posted in my blind date thread recently. I'm out of that character and trying to mellow out since I have a better feel for the community now.

If you want an answer about that post, I thougt the only way to please the broad he was talking about was with something really skinny. It was an opposite of the massive cock jokes and just he has a dick wider than a toothbrush joke. I used the dick jokes alot when I was getting to know some people because I didn't know anything about anyone else, and no longer needed it and that was my way of stating that without out stating it, but if someone wants to know I real take the time to respond to them. I really like Pumpy though, I wouldn't of took the effort to get to know the community better if it wasn't for him.

I was also trying to change the flow of the thread but it seems I failed. Thanks for changing it again.

[M GO BLUE!!!]

Explanations suck.

[M GO BLUE!!!]

TCY should not have to explain himself. So he is a man fascinated with Pumpy's tooter, Pumpy's pump, or whatever other terms may be applied to his male appendage. That's his God-given right as an American. I love this country and will not stand for anyone denying anyone their freedom as an American. So if anyone here has a problem with America, I say FUCK YOU!

The first thought when reading my original comment should be what many men would want in a broad, but I went further and I also vaguely implied all this time his dick wasn't really that big. So I figured I owed him at least one more big dick joke.

The gavel joke also was also my way of trying to end the thread because .....

I never said that I put the toothbrush in the broad.

My wife and I are going out on a date tonight. We're going to a restaurant that we visit often. We'll be served by a pregnant waitress, and we're going to take turns trying to get the waitress to come home with us. My wife almost convinced her the last time we were there, but then I spilled my Mountain Dew on the table, and the pregnant chick ran away to get a towel.

In any case, when we get home - with or without the waitress - the date will probably end as it always does. We'll let the cat nail me a couple of times with the strap-on.
Is it that pregnant guy?

It pains me to say this, but I miss the old Pumpy. The one where I didn't worry about having to cringe when I saw a post by him. It's like The Afoci all over again except that was his schtick. Pumpy, you're better than that, c'mon. :(

I think we are going to try to make it down for a game this season. I'm ultra pissed about the first game. It looks like we aren't getting the Clemson vs. Alabama game up here. They're showing Michigan St. vs. California. Come on! Everybody knows the Clemson vs. Alabama game is going to be better that the other game! It's times like these that I loathe moving to Ohio.

[CamEdwards]

Heh. Too late to try to respond to the original topic?

Yes, my wife and I are still romantic. Every Sunday night is date night, and the two of us will go out to dinner and then a bookstore or miniature golf or something fun like that. She also stays up for me during the week, which is rough since I get home at 12:30 a.m. and she's up with the kids at 6:30 every morning. I, in return, watch and spend time with the kids in the morning while she naps.

We hug each other and kiss each other for no reason, tell each other "I love you" several times a day, and make sure we never go to bed while we're still mad at each other.

I think it helps that I'm around her so much during the day, so I can really appreciate how amazing a wife and mother she is, which in turn makes me want to let her know how much she means to me. We celebrated 11 years on Friday, and we're probably more romantic now than we were 5 years ago.
