My husband brought freshly cut flowers from our garden to me this morning. It was sweet. My turn! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/romance#post-2560381 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 07:43:51 +0000 Mamaof2 2560381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ajsmommy: yes, long walks holding hands!</p> <p>And I am with you - we are not romantic people </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/romance#post-2560366 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 07:06:08 +0000 Ajsmommy 2560366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: this is my idea of romance too.</p> <p>Candle lit dinners, long walks on the beach at night, snuggling up under a big blanket by the fire, gazing into each others eyes</p> <p>But with that said, I am not a very romantic person and neither is DH we don't really like these types of things. We'd rather go to a ball game together or have a picnic with friends. Honestly, we'd probably laugh if we tried to gaze into each others eyes! LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/romance#post-2560358 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 05:52:13 +0000 ValentineMommy 2560358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: Agree! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/romance#post-2560179 Wed, 01 Jun 2016 15:47:22 +0000 youboots 2560179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: yes flowers work too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/romance#post-2560178 Wed, 01 Jun 2016 15:46:59 +0000 youboots 2560178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Chillybear: yes. We talk about being intuitive. To meet needs that appear- like put away the dishes and sweep the kitchen floors while our babe takes 30 minutes to self feed in the high chair. Or straighten up her room while playing. It's nice to feel like I'm not asking for the same stuff over and over. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/romance#post-2560162 Wed, 01 Jun 2016 15:30:46 +0000 Boogs 2560162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: Lol yeah! So trying to explain it is hard because I told him it means different things to different people, which I exactly what I'm seeing in this thread.</p> <p>@Chillybear: It definitely takes effort trying to understand and respond to love languages when you don't share the same ones! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/romance#post-2560117 Wed, 01 Jun 2016 14:42:04 +0000 Chillybear 2560117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>for me its just thinking of me and anticipating my needs and wants. We've had many conversations about what this means because he claims to not be a mind reader. My response is just look around the house and think "how can I make her life easier today?" if that means remembering to take out the trash in the morning or turning on the coffee pot... its just a little selflessness nad wanting to do for the other person. Let me know he was thinking of me</p> <p>I guess acts of service is my love language </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/romance#post-2560086 Wed, 01 Jun 2016 14:00:03 +0000 Alivoo01 2560086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boogs: lol!!! Well then! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/romance#post-2560085 Wed, 01 Jun 2016 13:59:53 +0000 Mamaof2 2560085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boogs: candle lit dinners, love letters, bouquets of flowers for no reason :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/romance#post-2560073 Wed, 01 Jun 2016 13:53:16 +0000 Boogs 2560073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: I'm like you. He said he has no clue what romantic is lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/romance#post-2560007 Wed, 01 Jun 2016 12:47:06 +0000 petitenoisette 2560007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@youboots: Same here!<br /> Last night I was cleaning up the kitchen and heard my husband spraying poopy cloth diapers in the bathroom and legitimately it seemed kind of romantic to me. Definitely an acts of service gal! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/romance#post-2559991 Wed, 01 Jun 2016 12:32:43 +0000 arosebyany 2559991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@youboots: totally this 😊 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/romance#post-2559988 Wed, 01 Jun 2016 12:30:20 +0000 Alivoo01 2559988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Being thoughtful/attentive and putting me first. Like you see I'm tired and you offer to take a chore off my hand or give me a massage. Or if I'm down, you get me my favorite dessert/food without telling me. Stuff like that.</p> <p>@Boogs: What was your DH's perspective on it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/romance#post-2559978 Wed, 01 Jun 2016 12:17:16 +0000 Boogs 2559978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I enjoy your perspectives, thank you for sharing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/romance#post-2559071 Mon, 30 May 2016 11:16:35 +0000 wrkbrk 2559071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's the little things. DW made a call for me (to the car dealership) that I was dreading the other day totally spontaneously without me even mentioning I didn't want to do it. I had warm fuzzies :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/romance#post-2559057 Mon, 30 May 2016 10:27:05 +0000 youboots 2559057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't consider myself much of a romantic. For me it's about being together and enjoying our time. So whatever makes that easier- doing chores, taking care of our daughter- whatever helps me feel like everything is in order that he does feels like romance to me. I don't need grand gestures- just bring me a cold beer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/romance#post-2559049 Mon, 30 May 2016 09:40:37 +0000 Boogs 2559049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What does romance or being romantic mean to you? DH had an interesting talk about it recently and I was curious what others think. </p>
