What is something special you and your SO do together (inspired by Love @ 1st Sight)

[EsmeraldaX]

Sort of inspired by the thread on people beleiving in love at first sight (I don't really).

What is something that you and your signifigant other share in common? Whether it be a love of Disney, a love of a sport, a love of movies etc?

For me & DBF, there are a lot of things, but one of the big ones is fantasy/adventure RPG games. We are both really creative people and enjoy the creative aspects of the games (creating our characters, setting up miniatures for the game "pieces" etc., reading the books together, talking about the plot lines of the games etc.). We also have a lot of friends in common through this and it keeps us social, as we meet up at least once every other week with one gaming group and at least once a month with the other group. Tied into this is a love of fantasy (as in castles, dragons lord of the rings type stuff) and collecting things along that line.

So what about you all?

Go to WDW - it's the only time we have to actually spend with each other, between work and everything else in life!

Well, you young people may find this odd, but after knowing my husband for 34 years and being married almost 28.............. One thing we do together is the grocery shopping. I used to go it either alone or with my son when he was a child. But we started to do it together about 9 years ago. It is a very nice way to spend Sunday mornings together, we are usually among the very few in the store, and we do spend the time talking about things. I know it sounds weird, but I think it's a real treat. We usually go out for lunch on the weekends, he travels a lot during the week, and don't go out for dinner much.

I don't think it sounds weird at all. DBF and I sometimes go out to home goods stores together and think up ways that we'll redecorate when we have the $$ to do so. We find it fun.

Doesn't sound weird to me either, sounds wonderful!

For us DH & I (when DD is on a sleepover) go out for Mexican food to a place we used to go to when we were dating.

DD's friends think DH and I are odd because we do EVERYTHING together. If we have to pick them up from the mall, we both go. We go together to run errands as often as we can. We're just very good friends. After 16 years together, I wouldn't have it any other way.

We don't do very much together

We try to walk every other night in nice weather around our apartments. That's our chance to talk. We have a few set shows that we watch together every week. We also do errands together on sunday am..... and we go together every friday night....

We are both big Bruins fans. In fact we actually met at a bar that was a hangout for hockey players.
And of course the obvious, we are both Disney Freaks. Even though he doesnt like to admit it and he blames it all on me, he never says he doesnt want to go to WDW and he has a great time when we are there.

 

[LvsTnk]

We both love Disney and our children do too! Didn't know if that would last through their ten years but we sure got lucky.

We also have season tickets to the White Sox and enjoy that.

We usually eat out on the weekends with our DS with special needs and let him pick the restaurant.

DH and I do everything together except go to work together!

 

[WeirdEyes]

DH and I both LOVE Disney and cruising. We also love 80's music and the University of Alabama's football team...Roll Tide!

 

[Gupsmom]

Tom and I enjoy going to hockey games together. We also both love travelling..esp Disney vacations. When we can get out, we like to play golf together too.

This time of year is great for us. We make a point of ending every night with roughly 30 minutes together in the hot tub. It's so relaxing. It's a great way to recap our day and figure out the next day..on top of just being together!

What a nice thread.

In addition to the romantic stuff and the big stuff like WDW (our special place) there are lots of little things we enjoy doing together. We love to play board games after the kids go to bed, and sometimes we just sit on the back porch and talk. On weekend nights we often rent a movie, open our fold-out couch in front of the TV, order Chinese food, and have a cozy dinner-and-movie together.
Can't wait till DH gets home from deployment so we can enjoy these little comforts together again.

ya know I never thought it until I married DH
opposites do attract - more than that I think they are perfect together
not complete opposites you have to have some common ground but we do have different personalities
I'm a spend thrift and he's a spendaholic
I'm much more conservative than he is
He's more spontaneous than I will ever be

but we both are home bodies, love our children. Love watching movies, love nascar and disney. both love shopping (he hates grocery shopping doesn't mind other kinds). Both love antiques and non modern furniture
and I can't imagine my life without him

It isn't so much something we do as it is something we say. Whenever one of us says, "I love you" and the other responds with "I love you, too" then the first who said it says "We're square, then." Apparently it was something *I* always said without realizing it, so he started mimicking the practice. Now, sometimes, instead of saying "I love you", we'll ask, "Are we square?" and the other responds, "Yeah, we're square."

Not sure if that made much sense. LOL

Well my boyfriend and I see each other pretty much every weekend (Except this summer when we will be apart because I am going home which is 20 hours away) and everytime we're together we rent movies and watch them as a way to relax. It is nice to just cuddle up with him and watch a movie.
Everytime we go to the movie store I get to pick one and he gets to pick one and they pick a new one we havent seen together.
It started from early on when we first started dating.

Disney is a big part of our togetherness. We both love it and love sharing it with each other. That's why so many of our trips get planned around Disney.

We both enjoy Nascar too so Sunday's have us watching the race together.

Every Saturday morning we go shopping together, and every Sunday morning we go to church together.

He truly is my best friend and I love the time we spend together.
