One of the greatest things about love is finding someone you can be completely yourself around.
Got weird quirks? It’s okay, they’ve got them, too! Some couples even merge their weirdness together to build adorably wholesome things that are completely unique to their relationship.
RELATED STORIES
Pet names? Check. Playing childhoods games like hand and seek? Yep! Pantsing each other? You bet!
The business deal.
Before this couple opened up a real business together, they would pretend to do business handshakes.
They’d shake vigorously and say hyperbolic business jargon like “good business deal, business partner.” Or “production is hitting our KPIs this quarter.” Cute!
Pantsing each other.
“My wife likes to pants me (pull down my pants from behind) when I’m doing things where both hands are occupied, like cooking or carrying things. I put up with it because she get really great belly laughs every time she is successful, and I love it when she laughs like that.” – u/pejeol
Marco, Bloop.
When this couple loses each other in a story, they have a unique way of finding each other! One says, “bloop” and the other person replies with a long, “blooop” until they locate each other. Brilliant!
The infinite proposal.
“Whenever either of us take off our ring for any reason (shower, washing dishes, gardening, etc) the other will grab it and put it back on them while ‘proposing.’ We have probably proposed to each other several thousand times by now.” – u/mrsmedeiros_says_hi
The cape trick.
“I’ll be doing the dishes for example and my fiancée will come up and hug me from behind all cute-like. Then if I have to walk she’ll shuffle her feet really quickly to match me, and I’ll have to move around cleaning the kitchen with this quick-stepping weirdo on me like a cape.” – u/Flapjack__Palmdale
Pegging each other.
No, not that kind of pegging each other. This couple likes to take clothing line pegs and put them on each other’s clothing. Then, they wait and see how long it takes for one another to notice.
Tag you’re it!
“I chase her around the house, furniture, etc. There have been both broken possessions and injuries. The worst was several years ago when I broke my toe trying to run past the fridge and kicked it at full speed. We still do it, though.” – u/Floppie7th
The shapeshifter.
“We have a codeword to determine if the other person is a shapeshifter. Randomly we will ask each to repeat it. Always causes a giggle or even a concerned ‘oh god…'” – u/TheRealDannySugar
The alternate reality.
For whatever adorable reason, this couple likes to believe they’re in an alternate reality where they exist as beans.
So whenever they’re having an awkward moment, one will mention what their bean versions are probably doing.
The Bobby Hill cut-out.
“We have a little paper cut out of Bobby Hill that we hide in random locations for the other to find, days or weeks later. It’s currently in a stack of toilet paper at her place waiting to be found again.” – u/mackerley
The dry erase board.
“I used to mess up the name of the month on our dry erase calendar and now it has turned into us constantly doing it wrong on purpose to see who notices. Right now it is apparently Septemble.” – u/zimmerman_ty12
Hide and seek.
It’s not just for kids! This Redditor wrote that her boyfriend will randomly disappear and she’ll find him hiding in my closet or in the bathtub waiting to jump out and scare her. Once, she found him hiding under the bed asleep because of his snore!
The dog persona.
“We have a terrier-poodle mix and she has some super sassy moments or looks. Then I’ll add in a phrase like ‘how dare you stop petting me’ in the most dark and demonic voice I can produce and my gf will apologize and continue to pet her.” – u/tackslabor
The pet names.
“Pet names have evolved from darling to rarring, smarling, blarling, bloobling etc Babe to bleb, bliib, breb, blubalubs, bloob etc. But never blob (never will make that mistake again) And are often incorporated into song.” – u/meelaan
Rock, paper, scissors.
Are any of these childhoods games reminding anyone of Squid Game ? Anyway, this sweet couple will play rock, paper, scissors for the bill whenever they’re at restaurants or grocery shopping, and so on.
The cyclops.
“Sometimes my gf and I put our heads so close together that it looks we both only got 1 eye, and then one of us shouts ‘CYCLOP!!'” – u/reaL_phL. Mike Wazowski from Monsters Inc. also works!
The greeting.
This Redditor and his wife will randomly greet each other by saying “hi” at different times. For instance, even if they’re just sitting on the sofa watching TV. Talk about being welcoming!
Holding feet.
“Sometimes when we sit opposite of eachother, we interlock our toes. It’s as if we’re holding hands but instead it’s our feet. It’s genuinely one of the things that makes me laugh so hard I cry.” – u/Bbuuggg
Eating dinner in bed.
“She’ll be in bed watching Judge Judy or Dr. Phil or whatever mindless drivel she’s into, and I’ll bring her up dinner. I’ll go get mine and we eat in bed as we talk about our day and watch TV. It’s a weekday tradition :).” – u/Fritzo2162
