Using my husband and me for an example, when one of us is going to the grocery store, the other person often adds something like “Love!” and “More love!” to the grocery shopping list.

What’s a silly thing you and your partner do?

    If I get up for a job earlier than her, I’ll write a small note and hide it somewhere. It’ll just say something like how pleased to see me the neighbour’s goose was, or how big a shit the dog had in the morning

    While driving in the car around town, we try to get the other of us to look a dog pooping, if we see it first. Married 25 years and I honestly don’t know why we started… sure it’s childish, but maybe a contributing factor in our long marriage! 😂

    I think other people who are more touchy would not appreciate ours but when one of us goes away and we are greeting each other, instead of hugging or kissing like normal humans we thumbs up.

    My partner’s a little awkward and neither of us like public displays of affection, so he just thumbsed up me once when I was going in for a hug and I still think it’s the funniest thing.

      I’m very ‘touchy’ as you would say but I still love this one 🤩. I would miss the kiss/hug eventually, but I think it would get a laugh out of me 9/10 times if we just thumbsed up, hahaha

    We pull stupid faces at each other in public because when we were dating long distance in our mutual chat group that is how we would flirt and signify something was sent via phone.

    We laugh about the faces our cat makes when we scratch under her chin, so sometimes I’ll scratch under my husband’s chin and he’ll make the same exaggerated face she does, or vice versa.

    We talk about getting things for the cats that they wouldn’t actually like, as if they would love them. Or we talk about bringing the cats along on trips they would hate, saying they’d like it.

      We live pretty close to a giant body of water, and I always have a fake story about how the cats love to go over on a leash (they are indoor cats and one of them is on a spectrum)

      I swear a solid 60% of what we talk about is our dog. The same jokes every single day but they’re still somehow funny.

    When my ex and i would watch Star Trek Enterprise, I would start screaming like Homer Simpson having night terrors whenever the theme song would start.

    He’d be laughing so hard, he could barely get to the remote to skip the intro, all the while I was fake screaming basically in his face.

    We come up with comedy sketches just for fun.

    We also like to redub shows we’re watching/make up ridiculous scenarios for fun, kinda like our own little MST3k/RiffTrax.

    I wait in line with the regular customers and then at the end of my transaction I use the worst possible pickup lines imaginable, and it always lands a perfect ten.

    You look like you come from excellent chewing stock my dear.

    Oh? How do you know? A man like you probably works with cattle with those big guns.

    How do you like to mooove on over to my place after work?

    Oh gosh! Tucks chin. I-I don’t know…

    We make grossly exaggerated corny sex jokes when we’re horny and want to get down to it.

    • wife is preparing hard boil eggs

    • Well… talking about hard balls…

    And then one thing leads to the other 👍

      This reminds me of a running gag my husband and I have. One night while I was at work he called me to ask where I put the colander because he wanted to make macaroni. It must have been a weird sounding one-sided conversation to my coworkers because when I got off the phone one of them asked me if “where’s the colander” was out code word for “let’s have sex tonight.” I told my husband the story later and needless to say it became our code word for sexy times.

    We’ll play random little “games” while trying to get to sleep, usually without actually saying anything. Thumb wars, call-and-response tapping, spelling things out by touch, and most often, doing that stupid circle game thing while the other one is trying to hold hands.

    I’ll also sometimes hold my phone up to my dog’s ear and he’ll say “Moshi moshi, Puppy desu!” Very stupid but it cracks me up every time.

    Talking whistfully about what crazy thing we can do for a fun adventure together

    Strip Poker was her favourite, especially after I dropped the pretense that I had any shot of winning and started strip teasing her
