Things do you do when your SO's not around?

We all have "single" things we do when we're home by ourselves (that we would NEVER do in front of our SO)...

What kind of weird/embarassing/gross things do you do when your partner?s not around?       

Re: Things do you do when your SO's not around?

  • I drink out of the milk carton and leave the bathroom door open.  Embarrassed

     

    I also am guilty of turning up the stereo loud and proud and bust a move.  I'd be too embarrassed to show off my horrible dancing to anyone but myself!

  • i too leave the bathroom door open and ill also fart no matter how loudly it might be (when he's around i make sure they're quiet, lol)

  • Another one for leaving the bathroom door open!!!  When DH is out of town I also tend to eat dinner right from the pot...why dirty up a bowl? 
  • I take a long, hot bath with a bottle of wine, crank the radio, and sing it like I mean it!  
  • haha, I leave the door open even when my SO is home. Is that wierd?

    When he isn't home I also like to crank the tunes and sing my heart out.

  • I can't think of much, but I too leave the bathroom door open when alone in the house.

    If he is going to be away for a few days, I clean the house. He is messy so I enjoy having it stay nice and neat when he is traveling. Sometimes I sleep on the couch in the TV room too.

  • The only thing different, really, when H isn't around is that I talk to myself.  I was an only child so I got in the habit of talking to myself (or singing to myself) about what I was doing.  I feel goofy doing it if anyone's in the house.

  • I get Chipotle for dinner when I'm on my own for the night. I graze on a lot of crap, drink a lot of beer or champagne, watch Twilight or some other movie I'd be horrified to admit I enjoy.

    I also google things I wouldn't want him knowing about (bio dad I've never met, my estranged mom, estranged sister's fb, etc.)

  • Watch Netflix naked, Tweet naked, etc...

    I can't be bothered to put clothes on if I'm the only one home.

  • There isn't really anything I do when I'm home alone that I don't (or wouldn't) in front of my husband. I guess I just feel like if I haven't scared him off yet, nothing I do now is going to!!

  • I also leave the door open in the bathroom whether hubby's around or not. When he goes away, I clean everything and cook things he doesn't like (artichokes, lima beans, etc,) and usually go shopping and buy things I know he would say we don't need (like trivets or more sheets and towels)

    I second this!  We're really open w/ each other, so things like going to the bathroom w/ the door open or drinking out of cartons, etc. are completely normal for us.  If we didn't go to the bathroom, for example, with the door open, I think we would both give each other the side eye.  hehe

  • When DH goes OOT, I make myself a special dinner of things he doesn't like, watch movies that will make me cry and have a DIY spa day.  I'd do these things while he was here, too- I just prefer to enjoy them alone.
  • I watch bad TV - Rock of Love, Teen Mom, ANTM, etc.

  • I do all the things I know he would scream about if he was home.  I wear my shoes in the house, cook whatever I want to eat (which is usually something he won't touch), have popcorn for dinner if I want, and watch scary movies after DS is in bed.
  • I greatly enjoy cranking Footloose and doing the dance from the movie in our kitchen!

    Or I put on The Spice Girls and do the dances to their songs!

  • I do a couple of things: I either veg and get abosolutely nothing done, or I clean. My H is not great with details so I get down and dirty and clean clean clean.

  • I also crank up the stereo and sing at the top of my lungs. I eat junk food. Paint my nails. I also leave the bathroom door open. Sometimes walk around naked too, lol.
  • I take looooong baths, watch girly movies I know he will never watch with me, and eat food I love that he won't eat!

  • I too leave the door open when the Hubby is home. I don't think there's anything that I do when he's not home that I don't do in front of him as well, this includes talking to myself... and since I grew up hanging around my 2 older brothers and their friends the Hubby and I sometimes see who can burp loudest after beer and bbq.

    This is me exactly. I enjoy cranking the tunes and dancing around the kitchen. or singing at the top of my lungs in the living room

    And we never close the bathroom door.... so much that i always have to remind myself to close it when we have company lol

    I think maybe y'all just aren't weird enough Wink

  • Clean the house, admire how it stays that way longer than 10 seconds...

    Order Chinese food, which DH hates

    Watch movies DH hates

    Drink wine

  • I make brussels sprouts, because he hates them and I love them! I will also watch movies he's not interested in, and drink wine and feel lonely.
