Things I miss about being in a relationship (Page 2)

I feel like I can't post on the other one without posting here too.

1. Having someone to go to the mountains with in the fall.

This thread is better - happier. I miss:

• The twosome feeling - knowing that whatever happened at work, at a race, training, with mom, friends or whatever I can download it and have someone on my side.
• Roses for no reason at work. That's the kicker for me it just melts me and makes me litrally crazy.
• Listening to his conversations and surprising him with gifts of stuff he talked about - ie, wish I had that new CD and leaving it for him in his mailbox.
• Touching hands
• Spooning,
• Somone to go camping in the mountains with.
• Grocery shopping, planning meals and cooking for someone else
• Traveling together
• Having to go to Dillard's men's section to buy Christmas and birthday presents. Isn't the same when buying for Dad!
• Giving massages
• Laughing uproariously at our on jokes in public.
• Inside jokes
• Writing love letters (my favorite)
• Relaxing him when he feels stressed.
• Having his head resting in my lap while watching a movie
• Lightly, soothingly touching him when he drives.
• Listneing to him talk.
• Guy dirt!

Hurricane Katrina reminds me of another:

Having someone to hold my hand and tell me everything's going to be just fine when a hurricane is bearing down on Tampa.

1. Someone holding my face and kissing my lips so so softly
2. Having the perfect excuse when men hit on me, "sorry I have a boyfriend" without having to lie
3. holding hands
4. knowing that if you need help, they are there, no matter what
5. talks while playing in the sheets
6. free massages (not sweet or lovey-dovey but true)
7. listening to love songs and thinking about someone
8. late nights in the sand
9. the feeling that you feel the first time the man you love says "i'm completely in love with you, you are absolutely incredible"
10. glances in public places between the two of you and you both know what the other is thinking
11. giggly wine nights
12. waking up in the middle of the night and when you snuggle next to them, their first instinct is to put their arm around you and cuddle you even closer.
13. watching them sleep (corny I know, but you know you do it)
14. someone else to finish the phrase, "what do you want to do tonight" "I don't know, what do you want to do" " i don't know" 
15. having someone that knows me so well. my family/friends each know a little part of me, but my SO tend to get a better, bigger overall view of me.
16. having a shoulder to lean on when watching a movie

Oh yeah, his smell on the pillows, the towels, his clothes.

Wearing his shirts when he's out of town so I can smell him all over me.

Ohhhh Max! I'm about to cry... dammit. ugh...That is so sweet. I am very happy in my life situation right now, but I hope to have what you have one day, someone to hang the moon for me and I do the same.

Ok...gotta go clean the mascara off my face.

But you can have that TriComet!  I am sure Max's son takes right after his father

17. I really miss HUGS, and being touched in general - You don't realize how little you get touched when you are not with someone. When you are with someone there is touching, and human touch is comforting.

I am decidedly single though right now, with two jobs, being a full time student trying to graduate in May, and Tri Training it's just easier right now.

Hm... Aside from these levely, true, and romantic things, I am finding that I miss:

Someone else who will ocasionally kill the hideous bug so I don't have to.

NYtrigal - 2005-08-26 4:20 PM I can't read this thread!!!!  It's reminding me too much of what I'm going to be missing soon.

You! Immediately go and read this thread -

The relationship thread made me think of this ol' thread.

I don't miss these things anymore because I'm IN a relationship but reading the lists makes me smile.

Here's one I didn't mention 2+ yrs ago: Receiving flowers! I love receiving flowers and I  love having flowers in the house.

I wonder if I classify as being in a relationship... where's the test for that

I decided about 3 months ago that I didn't want to be in this relationship, so told him that we were going to end it, and took off to a friend's place for the weekend.

I'm the arch blabbermouth, and when I got to my friend's place and wept all weekend and was hideously quiet, we all realised that something was seriously wrong!

What I was missing, right from the time I said I was bailing, was his 3000 different smiles, and the heart-skippy feeling I get when he puts his hand on me.

I missed it so much, I came home and we sorted out the issues, which were largely me being a drama queen, and got on with our relationship.

I don't ever want to have to miss those things again.

Over 2 years have gone by since I last posted in this thread, but things have changed.  Yes, they've actually gotten better.  We've been married over 34 years, she's now nearly 55 but looks 39 and she's still the hottest thing around.

I think I'll go get me some. 

Puh-leeze!

Dish with the gladness already.

Man is there ever a lot of history in these old threads!  Fun!

I am in a relationship that at this moment is pretty darn near perfect. What I miss most when I am traveling is falling asleep together and waking up together, and the half lucid conversations around those times.  Inevitably someone means to say "I love you," but it comes out "baolacho"
 or some other indecipherable series of syllables, but it so clearly means what it is supposed to.

I think that means "I love you" in Portuguese.

Heh.  

Secret, knowing sexy looks while surrounded and by other people.

a) Knowing and believeing that someone's got your back, whatever comes

b) Intimacy and trust

c) Partner in crime...

d) Cooking together, (and keeping her from the sauce with a stern slap on the a$$)

e) Showing off while she rolls her eyes, her not believing it for a second

f) Saturday errands
