Can I brag about my husband for a minute?

I got nothing against romance... BUt.. hey everyone my hubby spit a chocolate covered cherry in to my mouth while I was showering the other day... to me... not all that romantic :P

This is getting a lot of unwarranted hate.

Haters gonna hate.

The other day, my pastor said, what's wrong with happiness? My five year old blurts out, "Nothing!" A five year old has figured this out. Sigh.

I think it's hard for people to hear about happy relationships when they are suffering in a cold singles scene. Everyone wants to be loved, but all that's being offered is hookups. Really sad out there. I think these types of posts trigger unhappy feelings for some.

I was going to start another thread with the title "Can I brag about..." and say something totally snarky along the lines of what you just stated so much more compassionately and eloquently than I would have. Glad I didn't. Plus it would have probably just incited more angry bitter and hostile responses so... best to leave that alone. Thanks for inspiring me to be a better person

You honestly think that people who don't "get" this post are single or in miserable relationships? For real?

I am happily married. I don't understand this post. I think it's kind of gross. But I guess that means I am hating?

Sorry, let me clarify: check out the ludicrous "parody" posts in the chit-chat forum.
I don't think people who don't "get" this post are miserable or single. But people who have nothing positive to say when the initial post requests exactly that either A- can't read or B- aren't happy enough to find a single positive thing to say.

Or it could just be that bragging, in general, is tacky.

The parody posts are just having a little fun.

If someone came on here and started a post that explicitly read "Can I just brag about how ripped/skinny/beautiful/fit/etc. I am," sh&t would really hit the fan and you would realize the comments you got here were just child's play.

That is both sweet and gross.

yes, so disgusting...yet so sweet? but I am repulsed.

Have to say these were not the responses I was hoping for.

You should know better on these boards. Glad you have a great relationship. I can't remember what kissing is even like.

This, and dont worry about all the OCD people with thier avoidance of germs. I swap gum with my husband when we kiss, I even put it in his mouth when mine has lost its flavor - this he doesnt appreciate that much but doesnt bother him that much either

We eat off of eachothers plates, share food, eat off of eachothers forks/silverware, etc and have exchanged other bodily fluids (we have three kids so obviously that transaction has occured) with three kids you kinda get used to dealing with things that would make others gross out-- glad you and your husband still have fun in whatever way you see fit!!

I'm trying to figure out why everyone is hating on the OP. I mean so taking chocolate from your SO's mouth isn't your cup of tea but there's no need to be angry over it.

I have seen the parody threads. They are funny.

Brag means to say boastfully. Why would you boast that your husband put chewed food in your mouth? I mean, really?!

I get it, it was a moment in your relationship that you really enjoyed for whatever reason, but yeah.

The butthurt on MFP is just amazing sometimes.

Indeed.

Here we have someone who wanted to share something she thought was sweet and she gets jumped on for "bragging". But if she were to to post about what an @sshat her husband was there would be a lot of sympathy and "Oh honey. I know what you mean!' and story sharing.

SMH. I just don't get it.

I have a can of whipped cream but my boyfriend is too paleo to play with me and it. :-(

He wants ice.

Apparently Ice is paleo enough but whipped cream from a can is not.

Well, not my husband but anytime my SO and I are walking down his street he places me on the opposite side of where this dog always hangs out because he randomly attacks people sometimes, and I don't know I just feel so safe anytime he does things like that to protect me. To me that's the way he shows me that he loves me.

I couldn't get past bringing a glass of wine to a shower. A plethora of questions arose immediately. Why would a person have wine in the shower? You can't drink it in the shower or the water will get in and make it gross (also if one can't wait till the end of the shower to sip it, there may be bigger issues but that's another conversation) If it's sitting on the edge of the tub, you whisk open the curtain, and begin to step out; what if your toe catches on the cup? Then wine and glass explodes and the precious wine is everywhere. WORST place to have broken glass... but perhaps it's one of the metal wine glasses. This springs another issue. The metal glasses make the wine taste aweful, how could anyone appreciate wine in a metal glass?

Then I read the next part, an all too descriptive tale of having food thrust into one's mouth. And I did this:



But on a more serious note, a brag about the S.O. - nice thought. The gross detail of one's Harlequinesque kiss... a lot of ewww.
But in the vein that OP was trying to bring sweet and positive responses to the forums ... My not gross, sweet reminisce of my husband's loveliness:

Yesterday he sent me a random, completely out of the blue text that simply said: "You're a beautiful woman" :blushing:

I have no issues with what people do in the privacy of their own homes... I just have to wonder how someone decides it should be shared with a large group of faceless strangers... Like... there you are... sitting in front of a computer.. or staring into your phone... and suddenly you say to yourself... "I bet the world wants me to share this..." WHEN the reality is Umm no...keep that *kitten* to yourself... besides anyone with a modicum of talent and imagination could scribble down that nonsense...

Your comment and avatar picture match perfectly. I can totally imagine you saying this with that face.

/ thread. Drops mic.

Reading this ^^ would be reason enough to visit this thread! Perfect. lol
