If my wife were on a girls trip in another country and I showed up she'd prob be like ugh wtf are you doing here 😂

u/ahorseinasuit 4h ago

Happily married for 25 years and I think my wife would WTF the bajesus out of me if I showed up unannounced on a girls trip. Part of me thinks we’re happily married because I wouldn’t do anything like this.

Of course to be fair to these gorgeous hothouse web-dwelling folks they’re all super young and the dynamic is very different in the early days of “courtin”. Keeping romance alive in my marriage these days is surprising her with three loads of folded laundry, the kids lunches packed and a foot rub.

Now I want to do a video of older couples falling asleep in mismatched pajamas to Victorian Farm on tv with this music playing in the background. Snoring and a farting dog would be mandatory.

Omg last night my husband did the laundry and AND folded socks. Idk if you know what it’s like to fold a shit ton of children’s socks but my god I’m sure that’s an activity on one of the seven levels of hell. I looked at him and said “you’re working for it tonight aren’t you?” He winked at me and said “ready and waiting after I find this other spider man sock.”

Laundry done and lunch, listen up lads, this is wisdom speaking. The less your wife has to view you as a dependent the more she will value you as a sexual partner.

Yeah. I love my GF but...

She reassures me she won't stay out later than 10pm or she'll be back from the trip by sunday. And I'm like "No no, stay as long as you want. PLEASE"

Time away from each other is absolutely necessary and doesn't mean you don't love them.

I wfh and my wife is stay-at-home. On the rare occasion she goes out with a friend, she keeps updating me on everything she is doing, almost minutes by minute. I'm like, "Leave me alone. I'm trying to play this game." Lol.

1

u/t00oldforthis 48m ago

Yeah we very rarely do it, our kids are still pretty young and we guilt ourselves about any time not spent outside of work as a family. But every single time one of us has a reason to do it that forces our hand, we have the conversation after about we should do this a little bit more often.

I had to give you my first ever award just for the fine use of vernacular (courtin’). I agree with everything you said!

Edited to add - Laundry done and lunches packed? Swoon!

u/bottlesnstones 3h ago

Its doing the dishes for me 🫠😍

u/Disastrous_Return83 2h ago

lol ok yea that does make me weak in the knees too. My partner is so good at just unloading the dishwasher without being asked. Also he’s proactive in loading what may be there in the sink already too. I thank him daily for it.

Look at these helpful contributory partners out here!! 💜

My wife's currently on a girls trip, and as much as she says how much she wishes I was there when we talk/text, she would not be happy if I just showed up out of nowhere.

u/Mekito_Fox 2h ago

u/Ntroepy 3h ago

This reminds me of a coffee table book I bought years ago after my divorce called “Porn for Women” that featured a series of photos of good looking men doing household chores like laundry or vacuuming or asking them to go antiquing. It was quite hilarious. At least for the few minutes or so.

Keeping romance alive in my marriage these days is surprising her with three loads of folded laundry

Let me tell ya, we've been together for about 16 years now. I got a new job a few months ago. First big purchase was a surprise. A new dyson vacuum. It showed up and she got excited, and then I proceeded to happily do the entire house with it.... That was a good night

u/EarlyEggplants 4h ago

I’m just here for Victorian farm!

2

u/vettechrockstar86 3h ago

What’s it say about me that after almost 22 years I’d still be silently hoping that my husband would show up and we could Irish goodbye everyone else and just do our own thing? Honestly I don’t know how I’d make it through the first night, trying to sleep in a strange bed without him sounds impossible to me.

But we’re considered a weird couple already because we’ve been attached at the hip since the day we met. In 22 years we’ve only been apart for 8 days and that was only because he had couple of business trips he went on. We just love our “bubble” and prefer to only leave it if it’s absolutely necessary.

3

u/Mekito_Fox 2h ago

And if your husband knows that about you, it's the same as doing three loads of laundry.

2

u/Mekito_Fox 2h ago

12 years of marriage and if my husband suprised me in a space I don't expect him I would have a panic attack. But if I come home to something on my to do list marked off (and done at least mostly correctly) then the romance is alive!

He did have flowers sent to me at my job though. That was perfect.

1

u/LunatasticWitch 3h ago

Oh if you like the Victorian Farm, I do recommend their other series (Tudor Monastic Farm, Elizabethan, Edwardian and an offshoot where they join the building efforts of a medieval castle in France). Honestly Ruth and the boys are household celebrities between my wife and I.

u/sentient_fox 2h ago

I checked the cats teeth yesterday, but also asked her to double check me so I know I didnt fuck it up.

1

u/wtcnbrwndo4u 2h ago

Pretty sure the context here is long distance relationships. I'd think you would definitely be happy to see them if you don't see your partner regularly, even on a girls/boys trip.

1

u/angeldawns 2h ago

When my husband is away I send him the most attractive pictures I can think of....so much laundry folded....and the weird laundry too....like when did we last wash the throw blankets in the living room?  Or the couch covers? All the stupidly big comforters that never dry right.....

Then vacuuming the stairs.

Sweeping the garage out.

Dropping off the donations that kept piling up. 

Cutting the grass. 

When he gets home I don't want any to do lists lingering and waiting for him.    

If I showed up to his trip he would have every right to be so mad at me.

Because when a normal, not staged loving relationship says their going on an all guys/girls trip, it's specifically for that reason. Otherwise they'd go together on a normal trip. So a surprise to show up would realistically be " wait, why are you here?"

Not to mention how conceited and selfish it is.

Imagine if a woman did that to a man on a boys' trip. And how a lot of the incels who post this stuff would react.

u/FluteGunner 4h ago

Happened to a mate of mine when we were on a boozy lads holiday after finishing school. We were all 18, off to uni and work and were having one final long piss up together in Greece (we are from the UK).

Third day we were there, out at a bar in the evening and in walks his girlfriend and one of her friends lol

I didn't hear what was said but from what I remember, they did not last long after that.

1

u/BannedSvenhoek86 1h ago

I genuinely could not think of a bigger buzz kill for a trip lmao. Oh sweet, now one of our girlfriends is here and tagging along. Fantastic.

The only way that's acceptable is if she literally came just for a night and then fucked off to do something else. That would probably be pretty cool, your girl flies out just to bang it out for the night on a layover to her trip.

u/thenamziel 4h ago

Women LOVE being grabbed in public.

u/SpongeJake 2h ago

A few of them did. One clearly did and then was shocked when she saw it was her bf. Little sus.

u/absolute_imperial 2h ago

Yeah I picked up on that too. The look on her face at 0:37 says it all.

u/duke78 1h ago

She probably it was somebody joking around. Most people I know would tolerate it or play along for a few seconds until they knew what's going on. Explain loading on strangers is rarely the smart reaction.

5

u/pannedcakes 1h ago

If it’s a girls trip or birthday weekend they probably assumed it was someone they knew and not a rando.

Others are probably just smiling out of fear and awkwardness because it is often unsafe to reject men especially ones with zero regard for personal space.

Kinda weird to jump to conclusions that something sus is happening and that women can’t be trusted. Reddit not beating the incel allegations.

3

u/SpongeJake 1h ago

Thanks for providing some necessary nuance. The incel comment was a little over the top but otherwise I agree with the balance you brought.

Yep, the only way she'd react like some of the women here is if she thought I'd died in an earthquake or something.

66

u/MichoRizo7698 4h ago

Thing is they are smiling during the initial touch then are shocked by who the person is. Who did you think it initially was that you allowed to be touched and smiling? Certainly not him!

11

u/em-em-cee 3h ago

Someone comes up that close behind me unexpectedly and they're getting an elbow to whatever's in range.

Which my husband knows, so he'd never surprise me from that close.

2

u/jimmycarr1 1h ago

I remember early in my (M) relationship with my ex (F) when I walked into her house because the door was unlocked and she was expecting me, but she had music playing and wasn't aware until I came in the room. My god the screams...

1

u/-sensory_overlord- 40m ago

that would be my partner, he’s the one that actually shrieks when he gets startle lol

65

u/EireaKaze 3h ago

A lot of women who are grabbed frequently have an instinctual react to fawn in order to keep themselves safe. Placate don't escalate because he's probably bigger and stronger than you so escalation is more likely to get you hurt. Plus it can buy time to find an escape route.

Those initial reactions aren't happy/excited smiles, they're generally signs of discomfort and a form of fawning. They do it in hopes of diffusing the situation by making the person think they're happy and not trying to figure out how to gtfo.

My friend did just that to propose to her and brought a ton of us along in secret. Her girls trip was ruined and she was kinda pissed but stoked we all came and said yes. They lasted 4 years

3

u/Reload86 1h ago

Yeah these videos must be couples that are still early in the relationship and are likely not able to be around each other daily. My ex was always super happy to see me when we were dating long distance for two years. After that it was significantly harder to get this kind of reaction out of her without doing something extraordinary.

Then you need to become your wife’s best friend. I know my wife would react just like every one of these girls. But I also know my wife would rather go on a trip with me instead about her “girlfriends“.

Marrying your best friend is the best thing you could do

0

u/lampsslater77 49m ago

Maybe you need to realize that all relationships are different and we are indeed best friends and perfectly happy. But that doesnt mean we need to be together 100% of the time and cant enjoy time away from each other with other friends. But thanks for the advice bud.

2

u/jonasu25 41m ago

I agree and but we do spend time apart. Just prefer to hang out with each other than with our friends. Again, I can only talk about our relationship because I don’t know you from Jack, but based off the comments I can see you are who you are, So right back at you pal
