You used my signature from my email! How cool is that! I’m an internetz celebrity.

My husband and I are weird like that too. Some times we’ll be laying in bed and he’ll do a mock coyote howl while saying “I love you” so then we alternate back and forth this howling “I love you” until we’re laughing so hard I can’t breathe.

Or there are times when I’m being a pain in the ass and he give me “the look” and I can’t help but giggle and he’ll start smiling while trying to keep a straight face and then we both end up laughing at the other.

I submit to you that what you shared is a perfect example of what being a couple is all about, you don’t have to have a major plan for every day, you simply enjoy each other and take what adventures come.

For us it’s not just about the insanity, it’s EVOLVING insanity. Example: An argument in my household that doesn’t involve a serious motive used to automatically degenerate into a sullenly playful ‘…dumb boy.’, ‘…stupid girl.’.

Then we watched ‘Wall-E’.

Now she is most likely to walk over to me, lightly punch my shoulder, and mumble ‘Whoawhoawhoa…Mo.’

To which I have no recourse but to answer ‘Wrong!’

Women win because men “give up”. Women do not give up. The only way for a woman to “give up” is to “SHUT UP”. Women do not “SHUT UP”. The silent treatment from women is not shutting up because women are still thinking about whatever set them off. When men give the silent treatment they are thinking about sports, the TV schedule, video games, male up sex.
Men learn from their mothers to give up. I think it is some kind of conspiracy .

Heh, yeah, you’re normal. For us it’s fighting over who doesn’t care the MOST about what we have for dinner. Then we end up getting the takeout menus and gradually narrowing them down until we end up with one. Then we argue for 20 min. about who has to call the place: “But I made the decision about the food, so you have to call.” “But I am paying from my wallet, so you have to call” “But that’s our money anyway, so you still have to call.”

Etc. to infinite. Also with the TV. “What do you want to watch?” “Gossip Girl” “Not Gossip Girl, what else do you want to watch?” “Gossip Girl” “Do you want to watch 24 or Lost?” “Gossip Girl.” “*sigh* Okay we’re watching Lost.” “Meh.”

Proceed to me making saracastic comments throughout the entire show.

Oh, yeah, couples are insane.

Periodically my wife will harass me about my snoring, at which point I will regale her with the litany of things she does while sleeping (steal covers, bed space, pillows, etc.), usually to heavy laughter and the reminder that I still snore.

my boyfriend has a habit, when we’re cuddling, of dropping his entire self on me and gleefully exclaiming “DEADWEIGHT!” while i giggle retardedly beneath him. it only ends when i resort to tickles.
i think it’s these silly things that people can do in relationships that make them truly awesome. it shows that you can have fun together and you don’t need to be out *doing* anything. (:

My wife and I will celebrate 35 years of wedded insanity on June 22. We’re probably both certifiably nuts for putting up with each other that long (my wife is definitely the more insane; I’m not easy to live with!).

Insanity is an essential part of my marriage.

It’s just how we roll! (I may try the pillow war thing, as he steals the covers. It’s only fair!)

My boyfriend has been known to say: “Do you think people would believe that we act like this?” We are so weird together. From non-sense arguments and insults to bustin’ dance moves in the kitchen… it’s a very special kind of love.
