Where the heck do you live that you can find arcades?

They are making a bit of a comeback. I have even come across these "board game cafes" where you pay an hourly fee, pay for cake and tea, and play any of their (this one had 100s) boardgames and games. Some pinball machines too.

I played my wife in battleship and RP'd the hell out of the moment.

"Flower Fridays"? How much does the average low end flower bouquet cost these days? About $20? Probably closer to $40 if you're getting anything beyond the bare basics? So you must be spending like $1-$2k /year exclusively on a weekly flower giving ritual. All for an item that simply withers away and dies within a week of buying them, hence you basically toss out the old ones and throw new ones in. I'm not against giving flowers to women as gifts, but every week? Lol, that's excessive, and I guarantee you she stopped actually caring about the fact that you do it within the first two months. After that, she's mostly just acted like she likes it as much as when you first started doing it just to make you feel good. Meanwhile, she's secretly thinking you're being an unoriginal and corny geek when you do it now, for the most part.

As for the chocolates anytime it's "that time of the month for her", again - it's a corny gift, and being given far too frequently. Doing literally anything with too much frequency makes it lose value. Then you double down with that flawed concept by making crap like flowers and chocolates your go-to gift items to her on a regular basis. No offense, but you sound like one of those guys who talks about actively enjoying crappy romance films like The Notebook rather than simply sitting through them with your gf/wife to make her happy the same way she'll sit through crap you like for your sake.

You need to mix it up more and quit making gift buying such a standard staple of your love life with her. You'd be better off saving 95% of that ridiculous flowers ane chocolates budget of yours and using it to share some extra actual experiences with her, srs.





3 years is still pretty early on in terms of legit long-term relationships, even if you do live with her. Chit doesn't start getting real until you've either been together longer than that, and/or start taking the big leaps like getting married and having kids with them. Get back to me after you've been *married* to her for a few years too, and how things are if you have kids with her. You'll eventually end up learning the hard way that corny ritualistic gifts aren't gonna sustain that relationship if you don't figure it out before then. The corny gifts are fine; the problem is you're doing it far too often, to the point where you seem uncreative and boring about it. She's eventually gonna get bored of it too.

Let's have a quick refresher, for my amusement:



That's "realistic"? In a few sentences you: (i) complain about the financial outlay (one of your biggest concerns in your divorce); (ii) proclaim that his partner "stopped caring about it within the first two months"; and then (iii) proclaim that she's just "acting like she likes it", while (iv) "thinking you're an unoriginal corny geek".

It honestly amuses me how threads about love and relationships automatically (and without fail) attract posters on this forum like you, who think that because you failed in your marriage that everyone else is going to have a similar experience. Newsflash: some of us won't; and the statistics are against you in that projection as well. But keep coping about finance, commitment, interest in a marriage - everyone here knows your great expertise in the matter.

BIG L In Da House (RIP)

Husband will bring me sparkling water when he knows I feel like chit.
He’ll bring home fresh donuts on the weekend, picking up my favorite plain ones for me and chocolate twists for our teen.

In the past I’d bake him treats like brownies and cookies from scratch. I’ll also make him his favorite meals for dinner or make freezer meals so he can take lunch to work.

I think it’s time for a feel good thread to break up the political and blackpill tedium that can plague this place.

So....

What are some of the little daily things does your partner does to show you they love/appreciate you?

I’ll start....

-Car treats. When he picks me up from work, he always has a treat waiting for me in the car so I can munch on it after my shift on the way home. I don’t eat at work at all but do 12 hour shifts so am always staving afterwards.

-He knows that I am only ever one minute away from launching into a tirade over some minor annoyance, yet he actively humours and encourages me in these rants to his own detriment. (I tend to give him a headache lmao).

-I love the 2p machines in arcades, so he always gives me any spare change he has (I don’t tend to deal in cash whilst he does) so I can put the coins in our savings pot to use the next time we hit the beach arcade.

In the spirit of inclusion, incels, you can post about what your mum does for you I guess.

Shocking... a list of things HE does for you and nothing listed that you do for him.

FULL NESLON ANAL.

She puts notes in my lunch sometimes for work. My coworkers are already jealous af because my wife makes my lunch.

Many other things, I also do things for her

I'm a beta cuck

crying inside

It's okay. Think about your deep traumas in camp.

Just lol at the incels in here chiming in with their "advice". We've been together for 3 years and live together. This isn't some girl that I'm taking upskirt pics of on the subway and beating off to at night. But by all means, keep on "negging" chicks and wonder why you're incels.

Also lold how every woman's response its revolves around things done FOR them, not things they do.


Truly self centered creatures.

.Edit: I bought flowers for my wife 3 times, more than one month between each. First time she loved it, second time she was happy, third time she said it was waste of money.

lmao at this beta cuck that uses terms lilke "awwww", imagine being this effeminate

Aww, look who will never know what it's like to be happily married

I know you saw post 49 ITT - you quoted it. Enjoy

Marriage
Happy

Pick one. Lmao
