Ever woken up next to someone and thought "this is how i want to feel for the rest of my life"?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

well have you?


what happened after that?

[taterguy]

1. Yes. It was eventually followed by marriage

[La Lioness Priyanka]

2. yikes! ohh dear!

[taterguy]

11. Nothing scarey about getting better health insurance :)

[La Lioness Priyanka]

12. i think i have better health insurance already.

[Orsino]

22. Amen. n/t

[LaraMN]

3. Sure.

After?
Got married. He started snoring. I put a bed in the baby's room and started sleeping in there.
So romantic, I know...

[La Lioness Priyanka]

4. is there any way to fix the snoring?

[LaraMN]

6. Shotgun.

Which is decidedly not an option.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

9. surgery? ear plugs? something not as severe as shotgun?

on edit: my stepfather got a breathing machine after being diagnosed with sleep apnea..i couldnt sleep in the next room to theirs prior to that. it was quite something

[LaraMN]

13. He's had the breathing machine, but I think he needs a different mask.

He couldn't exhale properly with the one they gave him. We may buy one to try, in the near future. I would LOVE to be able to sleep in the grown-up bed again (it's been about five years).

[Midlodemocrat]

29. Since the surgery, Mr. M has terrible restless legs

so I can't get any sleep unless I go to the office. I would much rather sleep in my bedroom with him, but I don't want to disturb him about the leg thing, so I just move on.

[Radio_Lady]

55. Tried Mirapex for RLS? Tried any other medications?

I occupy a different room because of a lot of things:

.Sleep apnea
.Snoring (off and on)
.Restless leg syndrome
.Different bedtimes (I'm a lark, he's an owl...)
.Different bedroom temperatures
.Different activities prior to bed (I like quiet music and darkness, he like to read or watch TV with light on.)

[Left Is Write]

38. Not that I've been able to come up with.

If Lara thinks of something, I hope she lets me know!

My husband snores loud enough to hear it almost all over the house.

[Radio_Lady]

56. Is he overweight? Grandpa lost weight and it did cut down on snoring.

People use fat around their chins and neck.

Less fat = less snoring.

[crim son]

5. Yes.

He left.

[datasuspect]

7. nah

life is transitory. the only fixed thing is death.

i like the idea that i might only know someone for a short time. helps me to understand that i don't possess, that i don't own them, for some reason i end up knowing them much longer.

plus i don't think you can really spend FOREVER (a concept our human minds will NEVER understand) with someone. how can expect more out of a person than reality itself can allow? that is, in life nothing is permanent, nothing lasts forever, how can one expect a person to last forever.

i'm glad i have people for as long as i have them, it helps me appreciate them that much more.

[ohiosmith]

8. Yes. While I was in the shower she stole my wallet and watch and left.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

10. lol!

[Radio_Lady]

62. No shit, Ohio Smith? Are you bad in bed?

:sarcasm:

Seriously, that's terrible.

But I had a maid who did that -- she was on drugs. Forgive and forget...

[Starbucks Anarchist]

14. Yes.

But then I had to pay her the money and then she left. :P

[La Lioness Priyanka]

16. you would.... boys these days!!!

:P

[Starbucks Anarchist]

19. Us filthy, filthy heteros.

:P

[La Lioness Priyanka]

20. lol. you know i am as pure as the driven snow.

O8)

[Starbucks Anarchist]

21. That snow must have been driven cross-country.

:P :hide:

I kid! :hi:

[Lowell]

15. Yes, then I got the leash

and took them for a walk.

[miss_american_pie]

17. Yes

Life happened. :shrug:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

18. life has that habit.

:(

[miss_american_pie]

30. It certainly does

but it beats the alternative. ;)

[slj0101]

23. Yes. And then I got up to pee.

[Guava Jelly]

24. I am sure i have

To bad it never last.

[leftofthedial]

25. just my dog

he farted and then breathed dog breath in my face

I took him for a walk.

[raccoon]

26. No. nt

[EnviroBat]

27. Yes, and two weeks later, the wedding and engagement were off.

:mad:

[RetroLounge]

28. Yeah

followed by marriage, 2 kids, a mortgage, a 2nd mortgage, 2 car payments, credit card debt up the wazzoo, and finally a total betrayal of the marriage vows.

Looking forward to the next time it happens...

RL

[Midlodemocrat]

31. .

:hug:

So very sorry. I hope you find happiness again very soon.

[cwydro]

32. Everyday.

There're two of them with tuxedos and tails.

[idgiehkt]

33. not really

except once under the influence of drugs and only because I literally couldn't move, didn't remember exactly how I'd ended up in that precise position and location or when, but I knew it must have been hours and hours since I'd lost consciousness, and I marveled at the fact that I still held my boyfriend's hand in mine and probably had for hours and would for hours more. Not p.c. to say but it was one of the greatest moments of my life. I even wrote a poem about it.

But if you awoke feeling this way, I am so happy for you, beyond what I could express here. :hug:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

34. thank you. you are awfully sweet,

[hunter]

35. Worked for me.

My wife and I have been married a long time now, and most days I still have that feeling... :loveya:

Before that, when I was single, I remember waking up a few times thinking "I never want to feel like this again for the rest of my life!"

Once I woke up on the floor next to someone's Harley parked in a scary sort of rental in San Diego. I wasn't quite sure how I got there, but it had something to do with tequila.

[swimboy]

36. Yes, it happens a lot.

with the same person, I ought to add.

It's a thing of marvel that I still frequently and quietly acknowledge the feeling of perfect contentment of simply being in that moment. It's not the sort of thing you can pin to an index card and it can be fleeting but it is deep.

[Left Is Write]

37. Yeah.

I married him.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

39. Yeah, on Monday morning.

The democracy was good, too.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

43. glad to hear that (on both counts).

on edit: i am not surprised to hear that you were both good active citizens though.

[Pierre.Suave]

40. Yes

what happened after that would get this thread locked...

[WritingIsMyReligion]

41. No. Mornings suck.

:P

[Rambis]

42. Mey-wage!

Go with it!

[jonnyblitz]

44. nope!

:hi:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

45. hey hot stuff!

:hi:

on edit: my meeting with lisas parents went very well.

[Shell Beau]

46. I luckily feel that way every single morning when I wake up and see my husband!

:)

[rug]

47. There was that one night in the lockup of the 19th precinct . . . .

[La Lioness Priyanka]

49. glad you didnt spend your lifetime there

[rug]

63. Me too. The 6th precinct had a better clientele.

[KatyaR]

48. Are you kidding? It's been so long, I can't even remember

what it's like to wake up next to someone other than the dog--not that that's a bad thing, I guess, but obviously not what you're aiming for.

At this point in my life, she's about the only chance I have left to wake up to anything that's breathing.

[Pale Blue Dot]

50. I marry her. On Wednesday.

Hopefully someday you will have that option too, if you want it.

Stay happy!

:loveya:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

51. say hi to your bride from me...tell her we miss her on here

[Pale Blue Dot]

53. I'm thinking about asking Skinner to let her back

as a wedding present. :D

She says she misses you too.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

54. that would be awesome...

[u4ic]

52. Yep

What happened after that? Reality, I guess. Never worked out in the end.

Still was a damn good feeling, though. :)

[Lyric]

57. Every morning of every day.

I love my tattooed Southern girl. :)

[riderinthestorm]

58. 20+ years of marriage. Some days I wake up happy, some days I want to kill him

some days I'm apathetic, some days I'm busy and not even thinking about him at all. I believe we're fairly typical of a long term relationship. Take a deep breath and vow, VOW right now, that no matter who you are with and how you feel about that person right now, you will do something kind for your SO today, one kind thing everyday. When all is said and done, when the fireworks have worn off and the daily grind of a relationship asserts itself, you will feel good that you did one kind thing for someone you love (loved? could love again in the future when things are easier?)

Making them a cup of coffee or tea.
Putting on the space heater in the bathroom so the shower isn't so frosty?
Starting their car on a cold winter's morn so they can get in nice and toasty?
Putting a note in their briefcase, email, lunch etc.
Did the litterbox on THEIR day.
etc. etc.

Relationships wax and wane - know that. I have days when I finger the kitchen knives and hope to kill him, and other days when it's so unbearably sweet....

Ah! L'amour! Bon chance!

[Radio_Lady]

61. 30+ years of marriage, and gave up the same bedroom long ago. (SIGH)

See my response UPTHREAD for reasons why...

But we still love each other and I'm always doing HIS dishes, HIS laundry, etc. with affection.

[GOPisEvil]

59. Yes.

Oh, yes. :)

[undeterred]

60. I realized it was my dog who was such a good cuddler.

[BarenakedLady]

64. Nope nt

[Aristus]

65. I wake up that way every Saturday.

I'd wake up that way everyday if it weren't for work, commitments, personal responsibilities and so on that I have to get out of bed for...

My wife and I love Saturdays. B-)
