DH is practical to a fault. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-romantic-or-practical-these-days#post-1899516 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 15:08:00 +0000 Cherrybee 1899516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Practical, although I don't think we've ever been particularly romantic! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-romantic-or-practical-these-days#post-1899513 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 15:05:15 +0000 birdofafeather 1899513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>practical. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-romantic-or-practical-these-days#post-1899363 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 13:18:37 +0000 Purpledaisy 1899363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Practical for sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-romantic-or-practical-these-days#post-1899352 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 13:13:26 +0000 lawbee11 1899352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH is still fairly romantic. I'm definitely practical....I'm getting him a leaf vacuum for his birthday next month because he hates raking and bagging leaves! Though he loves his "toys" and I'm trying to make his life easier, so I guess that's a tiny bit romantic :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-romantic-or-practical-these-days#post-1899346 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 13:11:41 +0000 LuLu Mom 1899346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Practical. We share a bank account so big extravagant gifts are 1) too hard to hide and 2) effect both of us/our family, so we just skip giving gifts anymore. His birthday is next week so I plan on getting something small so he has something to open, but I have no idea what. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-romantic-or-practical-these-days#post-1899337 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 13:08:50 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 1899337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Practical. I was just thinking about a really cute book I made my husband for his birthday (I think it was 4 or 5 years ago) and trying to come up with something heartfelt like that for this year, but it's so hard! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-romantic-or-practical-these-days#post-1899322 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 13:02:15 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1899322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Practical! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-romantic-or-practical-these-days#post-1899319 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 13:00:10 +0000 Bao 1899319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Practical! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-romantic-or-practical-these-days#post-1899317 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 12:59:24 +0000 yoursilverlining 1899317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Practical. Romance...ain't nobody got time for that right now! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-romantic-or-practical-these-days#post-1899313 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 12:57:45 +0000 2PeasinaPod 1899313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're far more practical than romantic these days. I figure we'll be this way until LO is much older...just too much going on! Not to mention, going through some fertility struggles will certainly make things far less romantic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-romantic-or-practical-these-days#post-1899284 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 12:42:59 +0000 blackbird 1899284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Insanely practical. We're both engineers, no surprise. Our brains are just wired this way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-romantic-or-practical-these-days#post-1899203 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 11:58:46 +0000 Synchronicity 1899203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fairly practical. If I had to divide it up, I'd say as a couple we are 90% practical, 10% romantic. It isn't hard for me to find the romance in everyday life, though, so there's that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-romantic-or-practical-these-days#post-1899186 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 11:50:36 +0000 plantains 1899186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think we are naturally more romantic people but daily life has us veering towards practical. We just talked about this last night and decided that we wanted to try a little harder to be less practical :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-romantic-or-practical-these-days#post-1899177 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 11:47:12 +0000 snowjewelz 1899177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think we're both more practical; DH 100%. We don't really do gifts since we talk about all big purchases. We do love spending time together but we don't need to do romantic dinners our fancy dates... I guess I find romance in mundane everyday things? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-romantic-or-practical-these-days#post-1899149 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 11:31:00 +0000 looch 1899149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Practical, I am practical to a fault. My husband is less practical, but still more pratical than romantic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-romantic-or-practical-these-days#post-1899146 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 11:28:11 +0000 MrsBrewer 1899146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely more practical! Especially speaking of gifts and whatnot. My anniversary gift from DH this year? Slippers, 2 sweaters, and a new set of Glass Snapware food containers! Truthfully, I couldn't be happier! It was a perfect gift! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-romantic-or-practical-these-days#post-1899143 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 11:25:46 +0000 mrbee 1899143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bee and I were just talking about this, and she said that she is more practical than romantic these days.</p> <p>I think she does have a romantic side, but we're just so busy and stressed from parenting to really focus too much on it right now! Parenting is definitely getting more manageable as the kids get older though, so we'll probably exit "survival mode" at some point. I feel like we're almost there... </p> <p>Are you romantic or practical these days? </p>
