Sometimes you don't need to fill the silence with sounds. I'd rather be in a relationship with someone that we can sit down and be quiet together

[–] Trollception@sh.itjust.works 88 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

Or you can use literal sounds instead of words. My spouse and I have this thing going on where we make this kind of squeak/baloon sound with our mouth which has the same effect as "hi, nice to see you".

Oh thank god my partner and I aren't the only ones. Don't get me wrong, we know and like that we're weird, but it's nice to have company.

A few steps away from becoming furries.

Hahahaha I love hearing about other people’s microcultures

Me and my gf usually say Ahoozles (shortened from Anyhoozles) and just a way of saying “I want to talk to you, I just don’t know what I want to talk about

[–] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

We just say "you know..." and then the other person will either say "yep/same" or "no I don't know" depending on the mood. And if the cat makes noise we'll also just say "I know buddy me too"

My wife and I do things in threes: three taps, three nudges, three blinks, three noises, whatever. It means “I love you”. It’s a nice way to say it when you’re too tired to say it. I think it originated when we’d say it as we were falling asleep.

Or fuck.

For most couples that takes up like 15 minutes once every 3-5 days or possibly much longer.

[–] madjo@feddit.nl 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Longer than 15 minutes?

[–] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Longer than 3-5 days I think

[–] madjo@feddit.nl 2 points 3 weeks ago

I don't know if I have the stamina to go for 3 to 5 days, let alone longer!
