Who is getting any....

No rmamance here. I think Ineed to see him for longer that 2 seconds. At the moment, he is out of the house before I wake up, he pops home brienfly after work grabs food and his keyboard and is out untill well after I am asleep. I cant wait untill christmas eve when I get to see him again!

Not that we were ever that romantic when he wasnt so busy. Even to spend 30 minutes cuddling on the couch infront of the TV together would be so nice!

We used to be so affectionate before kids and sometimes I really miss that. When we ever do get a break without the girls all I want to do is sleep! I think next year we are going to have to make a date night once a month.

 

We do romantic stuff everyday like we always kiss hello and goodbye and occassionally just kiss for the sake of it.  We always cuddle.  We tell each other that we love each other everyday.

We don't see a lot of each other because we work different hours but DH used to pop down from work everyday while I was on my way home so we could spend 5 mins together.  He gets really busy and can't do that everyday so I started taking later lunches a couple of times a week and now walk to the train station 15 mins from work so I can meet him when he gets into town and walk him back to work.

That's the everyday stuff we do for each other.  The more planned events don't happen as often (because we don't have the time, once I'm off work again we'll see a lot more of each other).  Last month for our anniversary I made him a card using candys and chocolates (with the help of the ladies on here - thanks) and he made me some chocolate fudge, bought me my favourite lollies and spent the entire day doing exactly what I wanted to do.  A couple of months earlier I planned an evening for us and told him what I had planned.  We put Michaela to bed and both got dressed up and he'd made a plyalist of romantic music for the night (and I got knocked up).  Another time we had a date at home and he snuck out of the house to buy me flowers while I was getting ready and then knocked on the door like a proper gentleman caller.

 

ETA: we also occasionally send each other texts and emails telling the other how me we love them.

same here
he also loves surprising me with little gifts or when i could drink , my favourite wine etc.

I do feel quite lucky , especially when my bf tells me the latest escapades of her daughter's father , gosh hes the worlds biggest loser !

Awwww Jo, can you get him to talk to my DH, that stuff sounds all romantical.

We do the goodbye kisses and sit on the couch together watching TV. He'll go and get me chocolate when I'm feeling a little "stressed"

The last time we went out on our own was back in August! We are going down to Q'Town for 3 days in January and I'm hanging out for some us time.

Aside from that we are best buds and we know how we feel about each other and we work well as a team (most of the time).

DH never buys me anything, i might occasionaly get brithday and christmas presents,..even when I told he wold be in BIG trouble if he didnt get or make a mother day card for me from Isla, he still didnt bother

haha yeah!

Hmmmm...when I started reading this thread I was also like "romance, whats that?!" but my DH is quite romantic in small ways, calling me at lunch, texting me to tell me he loves me, kiss each morning when I leave for work. He usually buys me flowers once a fortnight too. He is very generous in that respect and probably doesn't get much back (cause I am usually a tired grumpy witch after early starts every day) except that I do cook dinner, do all his washing and cleaning etc.

Not that I want to be greedy but I would ADORE being whisked away somewhere and wined and dined - but not having to organise it. I hate how I always have to plan it every time we do something different....

Can you say to him, hey we haven't had much romance lately, how about an at-home date one night soon? And give him the pick of say, Sunday or Monday night. You can either do some baking or pick up some yummy snacks and drink at the supermarket... and book out from say 7.30pm until the end of the night.
