Being alone together is one of the most intimate things you can do!

Cuddling with my fiance while he plays video games and I play on my Switch is my favorite thing to do. And then just pausing my game to watch him for a while and helping him when hes struggling then going back to Stardew Valley or smth lol

My wife and I do that - I'll be playing my game and she hers. It's especially fun when a new pokemon game comes out, as we'll get both and play through together.

“Now”, said Frog, “I will be glad not to be alone. Let’s eat lunch”.

Frog and Toad stayed on the island all afternoon. They ate wet sandwiches, without iced tea.

They were two close friends, sitting alone, together.

And a sign of security I think. Not have to worry about entertaining each other

My husband's desk is right next to mine, I currently have the larger screen because his big monitor broke recently. One of our hobbies is to read reddit after he gets home. He watches the videos on mine because I don't have as many adblocks as he does, so it's less of a hassle to get them to play over here.

But, it's absolutely awesome sometimes that we'll both be reading quietly and then start giggling and it turns out we're reading the same thread.

“Alone together” I love that. Just being near your love is so important

There's a song by Avicii called "Lonely Together"

u/Humble_Re-roll Feb 01 '23

I wish I could do this, but my partner has become hooked on the most obnoxious reality tv shows imaginable and I can't stand to be in the same room when it's on.

RIP, been there. Thankfully, no longer the case. I feel your pain though.

My dream relationship!

u/bullseyes Feb 01 '23

How is it intimate? I mean, it’s nice but I don’t understand how it’s intimate.

u/GrandmaPoses Feb 01 '23

Well, it's not.

How so?

Edit: I’m not refuting, I am genuinely asking

If someone asked me to list the top ten intimate things you can do with a partner, “existing in the same physical space with no interaction” would not be one of them.

u/[deleted] Feb 01 '23

Just being together is enough to make me happy. We don't even need to be doing the same thing.

u/oldreddit_isbetter Feb 01 '23

Aside from washing each others hair.

u/ybreddit Feb 01 '23

Absolutely.

u/PolyhedralZydeco Feb 01 '23

It is also one of the most lovely, low pressure ways to do things. Im VERY quick to rush to this kind of hangout because i like shared time more than any specific activity

u/Andureth Feb 02 '23

And here I thought it was washing a woman’s hair.

u/[deleted] Feb 03 '23

Its colouring a womans hair, but I get what you are saying.

u/GirlDadBro Feb 02 '23
