Earth-Angel Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 I had this question come up recently and I had to laugh at some of the answers from my friends! Do you share the same spoon to eat ice cream romatically gazing into each others eyes, or do your lips curl at the thought of their gobby germs inching towards your mouth and recoil in horror at the thought? How close are you to the person you share your heart and home with? And how close is too close? I think PDA's (Public Displays of Affection) are alright as long as all hands are on deck and there are no tongues - but some people don't seem to have got this memo and will sit at the table with you canoodling like they are the only ones in the room... ugh! Is there a Zen-like calm whenever they are around, or does their every little habit irritate you to distraction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSYCHOcatholic Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 People really just need to use there good judgement. No, i really dont wanna see people tounging all over the street...so if you gotta do it...move to the side or somethin. Now, i cant really judge cause i show affection to my wonderful girlfriend in public, but we limit it to small kisses and holding hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxy Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 I agree about public displays of affection, a little is ok, but too much can be embarrassing for those around them. When in a relationship I'm totally enveloped in the man I'm with. Sharing is the best part!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible_r Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 my boyfriend and I can't stand couples who are all over eachother, a lived with a friend who was like that with her boyfriend and it was quite icky! i like sharing too, some habits rritate me but it generally depends what mood i am in anyway, in general we are really close, we are like friends too, and I would tell him anything, which is probably pretty bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 I don't mind sharing utensils, straws, etc., with my husband. We often split desserts at restaurants. As for PDA's.....my husband's really cautious about that. We do hold hands or he will throw an arm around me, and we probably will exchange small kisses, but there's no tonsil hockey in public.

SCORES! Is that why it's called "puck-ering up?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenacious_Peaches Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 I'll share utensils and such with Mr. Peaches. I'll hold his hand in public, but like Jenny said, no heavy petting. I will, however, pinch his behind when no one is looking just to freak him out. At home, I'll snuggle a little bit, but I have a general "no hovering" rule. If the situation calls for a hug or a kiss, so be it. But if not, get off me. It's not necessary to paw all over each other every single second. I need some elbow room, man.

daslied Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 ^ I'm with her. The missus and I smack each other on the can a lot, to say "good job" when one of us have done something noteworthy, but only because we think it's terribly funny.

Foxy Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 ^ Totally agree...a bit of playfulness is excellent. The more the better - I love physical affection with a partner, and the more sneaky it is the better, sometimes being a bit risque in public is all the more fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Laurie_ Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 Depending on if it's that time of the month or not, hubby could be doing absolutely nothing wrong and he'd annoy me...I'd get the "What? What'd I do?" look.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 I think that when you have a strong relationship you end up sharing mostly everything: food, room, noise, silence, bills, viruses, moods... But I love it when he goes out with his single or divorced friends so I can have the house for myself... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 what was that joke about the three stages of sex in a marriage? First year it's on the kitchen table, the living room rug, the bathtub - anywhere but the bedroom. Second year it's just in the bed - nowhere else. Third year it's passing each other in the hallway and saying "F*** you" to each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawna Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 Not into complete over-the-top PDAs, but holding hands, hugging, and a kiss here and there is fine. As far as "close," well... I think we couldn't get much closer. We snuggle every opportunity we get, we spend almost every waking moment together that we both have off work simultaneously - and it's enjoyable! Even if/when he has to go back home for a while (to tie up some family issues), we'll still be close... while being 3,000 miles apart. Is this what they call "love"? Lyrical interlude: "Baby, how much closer can we be? Well, I'd swear you've become a part of me. You are with me everywhere I go... And if you feel it, I already know..." ~Stevie Nicks~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earth-Angel Posted January 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 I love to cuddle and hold hands, and I find a sweet tender kiss or 2 in public fine, but not when sat at the table with others. It's comforting to feel his hand holding mine or his arm around my waist, walking in step I'd die without cuddles and affection - I never was a "huggy" person before, but I've really found another side to myself with him. I love to be around him, even when I have my own personal time, I like him to be around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earth-Angel Posted January 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 Right now I am not very close to my other half at all! We've always had our own rooms before, and now we are sharing one - and I am getting little or no sleep! How do married couples stay in one bed and stay married??? I am going nuts and getting no sleep!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 Lots of alcohol and sleeping pills ... , and occasionally slipping out to the couch if you really need some sleep . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do married couples stay in one bed and stay married??? Well, sometimes it´s so warm to wake up in the middle of the night -mainly when it´s cold outside- and find that other half by your side... but other times yes, it´s great to have your own room, with your own bathroom... your own music, your own telephone lines, your own keys... oh, I´m missing single life...

Kevin Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 Simple heat generators and as comforting as a stuffed toy ( beware a woman with too many of those , BTW ) ! That's how they'll eventually come to see us , boys ! As Edna says , enjoy those single years -- and don't be hasty ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I have great heating in the whole house... But yes, enjoy single years...but always have someone in case you don´t want to sleep alone...
