    Let your wife pick your clothes out for you. Wear twinsy outfits, matching 'cowboy' shirts.

    if you bump into a lady friend of yours that you haven't seen in a while, and she's put on some weight; just give her a knowing smile and ask "so when are you due??" in an excited tone

    it'll bring levity to the reunion of two old friends and she'll appreciate that you care about her wellbeing so much

    How are you doing this? You manage to come off likable and nice while knowing exactly how to be a *kitten*. Teach meeeeee

    if your girlfriend/wife/both seems to be upset, make sure you ask her if she's "upset".

    she might say no, but that's because she's trying to prevent you from worrying about her. just drill down more with the following:

    "are you mad at me"
    "did i do something wrong"
    "i just don't like seeing you upset"

    if she still says "everythings fine" just go ahead and go back in the living room and play your ps4. make sure you tell her "you're sure?" first though.

    When in doubt, express yourself through dance. Also, practise the art of mime and give that a whirl. You can graduate to full costume, in time.

    open up her birth control pills and put all of them in a single pill tube instead of the pack they came in. she'll appreciate you making it easier for her to get one out when she needs it.

    if he's on his phone and laughing/smiling ver often but you can't see his screen, and he has a good password you don't know, it's safe to assume he's just browsing memes on reddit or imgur

    but you should probably go ahead and enable wireless backups for itunes and then some backup sniffing software on the computer- that way you can see what's so funny too and share in the laughs. you'll have to force the backups daily to stay on top of things, but he'll definitely appreciate you keeping his data safe, and it will only bring you two closer in the end.

    its okay to text your ex the day before thanksgiving
    just say "im thankful 4 what we had"

    she's probably thinking the same thing and is just waiting to hear from you.

    put your phone on airplane mode right after you send it though she'll like it that youre playing hard to get

    I was actually gonna text my ex on holidays...just to wish him happy holidays and stuff :D ...that's bad?

    it depends. if they're still single you should just ghost after sending the text- until at least 4am. then send a song that reminds you of them. they'll definitely appreciate you remembering something like that.

    if they're in a new relationship, you should drive by and call and say you just wanted to talk for a minute, "if that's okay".
