Gross Couple Habits
Link: http://lifestyle.msn.com/relationships/articletkt.aspx?cp-documentid=18069488>1=32023
This article quotes polls on the Nest, so I had to bring it over for us to discuss:
Belching
Farting
"Maintenance"
#2 Duty
What say you as far as what's acceptable and what's unacceptable in a marriage?
Re: Gross Couple Habits
My feelings about Belching and Farting are fairly similar. It's not something we go around FLAUNTING in front of one another (and we're not the kind of couple to have competitions... that to me is weird). Sometimes its unavoidable, but at all costs we do avoid "sharing" this type of bodily function. LOL
"Maintenance" - we don't pick each other's bodies... that's gross for one person to do it (popping zits?!) I have never asked MH and never will to pluck a stray hair from any part of my body. LOL That's mutual, btw.
#2 Duty. HELLLLL to the no. That's taking it too far, IMO.
As far as belching and farting we both do it in front of each other. We definitely don't have competitions and try to keep it to a minimum though. But sometimes you just have to let it out! LOL!
"Maintenance"...I've already told MH that once my belly is too big to keep up my own maintenance I might need his help. I just can't imagine going to the doctor being unkept and if I can't see if how can I maintain it?
Going #2 with the door open is just wrong! That's as far as I'm going into that one! LOL!
We both belch and fart in front of each other, we're married, I think it would be weird to hide it. If I let out a good burp, he'll tell me it was a "good one".
As far as maintenance goes, he let's me pluck the little stray hairs in between his eyebrows. He thinks its funny that I have a before bed routine of washing my face, moisturizing, plucking a few stray eyebrow hairs, taking out my contacts, brushing my teeth. He jokes that it takes me so long to get ready for bed. ETA: I have popped MH's pimples before, gross I know.
Totally agree with Flyer on the #2 issue. We close the door for this and #1 and always will.
Agreed on the belching/farting...we don't make a show of it. LOL
Maintenance - this was one of the things that pushed me to start waxing. LOL I don't keep it up all that often (maybe a few times a year or if we're going somewhere swimsuit-necessary), but I had thought the same thing! LOL
I thought about waxing...but since we're saving every penny we can I just couldn't justify it when MH agreed to do it. Who knows though...maybe I'll just give up caring or will be able to make something work.
I would be nervous to have MH do it. I am assuming you are talking about shaving for you...?
I wouldn't be able to either...guys just don't know the sensetive areas and all the in's and out's (if you know what I mean).
I'm not too worried because it's not like I want him to shave it bare or anything...just trim the bush a little. LOL!
I burp in front of MH all the time, I have never farted in front of him or anyone actually. I am just too embarassed I guess. I don't like it when he farts in front of me either.
I have plucked stray hairs for him (he doesn't ask me too, sometimes the hairs bother me)
I actually have an awful/embarassing story about trimming down their. MH asked me to help with me some umm manscaping down their and I was using these little scissor and I cut his umm balls (I'll just be a grown up and call them that) there was blood and everything, I felt awful.
Yikes! Has he asked you to help since?
I don't even remember what this post started as but this is hilarious.
I take care of my own maintenance. Some things he just doesn't need to do for me...
LOL nope, he was really nice about it when it happened though, I was almost crying I felt so bad, he was like, calm down it's ok!
Wait til you have a big belly in your way...you might change your mind (unless you don't mind the doctor seeing you a little unkept)!
Well at least he was so nice about it!
Ha...I'm sure when I have a big belly I'll be like "Babe, pull out the clippers!"
I read that entire article finally and I think it was a little over the top. I mean some of the stuff - like quit farting/belching in front of your husband and you'll feel sexier? Yeah, nothing makes me feel sexy like having to run into another room to burp...silliness.
I would never let him live this one down!! LOL Every time he pissed me off, I'd be like "Hey, honey...isn't it time I helped you trim your balls?!" ROFL
Seriously Paula, I need warning before something like that. Diet Dr. Pepper does not come off a computer monitor very easily!
Well that's good to know! For now I can still somewhat see...but if I get any bigger it's going to be all blindly done or by MH! LOL!
HAHAHHAAHHAHAHAH I should totally do that!! If this makes it into hot topics everyone is going to know my embarrassing ball triming story. LOL
