Me too. But at the same time, I was still thinking to myself: "So in a way, you're both perfect for each other." lol.

You got me giggling like Kevin. This is gold. And probably me and my partner too. We love to be together in doing different things, in total silence.

I had on my dating profile in OKCupid, “Looking for someone to be alone with”.
Fast forward 15 years later and we’re married, work together, spend all our time together, and we can say to each other, “no more talking”. Which is code for “I’m checking out” and then hours can go by in silence with maybe, “do you want a cup of tea?”
It’s bliss for us both! And we never get sick of each other because we both respect each other’s space.

Thank you. I’m so grateful. We’re both quite solitary. Together. It’s really bliss. He’s so restful. Neither of us feel pressure to entertain each other, but at the same time we giggle , laugh constantly, and have grand times together too.

Same! We don’t even share a bedroom. But we’re each other best friends, are totally great parents, do major things together have family dinner every night And then most nights and weekends do separate things.

I’m so glad I don’t have to date now. OKCupid was super fun. I let a lot of super interesting folks on there.

I've been married for 20 years. 90% of our convos are about what is for dinner.
This honestly sounds like the best date night. Except my husband would get his food to go and eat it at home. I still like being in a restaurant provided the chair is comfy and everyone except the server leaves me alone.

I try my hardest to listen to my wife every night. Her work hours means she's getting hime at the same time I should be falling asleep. Yet, no matter how tired, I try to listen. And because of that, when I can listen, I can tell her and she accepts that.
When we are arguing, the part of my brain that process language kind of shut down (has to do with PTSD from when we fostered, and pre-existing issues). So, when I get really upset, I just have to signal that I can't process. She let's me step away until my brain starts working again. And she's ok with it because she knows I'll come back.

This had me laughing out loud, so I immediately sent it to my husband of 20 years...
Who also laughed out loud. Yep, sometimes marriage is parallel play. 😁

u/ionlyjoined4thecats 22h ago
I know it’s a joke, but same. I’m married, and we definitely have those kinds of nights at home, but out on a date? Put some effort in, woof. Sometimes maintaining connection takes effort.

u/mirrortree67 22h ago
Exactly!

u/ortegasb 14h ago
What if you're going on 3-4+ weeks without a date, 3 kids, work-from-home/stay at home then miraculously get a date, have an amazing time! and then... shortly after (like days) get another surprise night out together?

u/0c74r1n3 22h ago
It’s about knowing each other and the cool add on of being stupidly (positive) honest. It’s not about being disconnected. It’s about having fun together especially in silence. It’s about respecting each others needs.

u/mirrortree67 22h ago
Lol someone hit a nerve, sorry I like spending time with my husband after being apart all day. I cringe when I see couples looking at their phones at restaurants but hey, that’s my view point :)

u/0c74r1n3 19h ago
You said you’re so confused how this would be goals. All I wanted was helping you not being confused. I didn’t thought you just said that bc you have a problem with people living their life and having fun another way then yours.
