Have you become like an old married couple?

Original post by TracyInQueens

I recently realized that DH and I have become utterly lame. We haven't been out on a weekend night in ages. We are very content to have our azzes glued to the couch. There was a time when we went out at least once a week, to dinner and a movie, etc. On the one hand, we've been trying to save $$ but I think this is getting to be too much. I really want us to do more fun things now, while we aren't busy with kids.

I'm also suffering from Fourth Floor Syndrome- when I get to our apt. after walking up all those stairs, I do not want to leave again.

we have become SO settled in our life together...it's great.

We do stupid stuff to get out, like go drool over large screen tvs at Best Buy.

I also go watch him play softball once a week which is fun.

Us too and we bicker like we've been married for 30 years

BIL accused us of being an old married couple on Sunday when we were both on the couch, DH reading the sports section and I was reading the business section. Nothing wrong with keeping up on current events....

Seriously, we are anti-social homebodies.


That could be us in a way too! I almost get mad when one of my single girlfriends calls me to go out. It's not that I don't want to see her - I really do. But she always wants to do these all day going out events on the weekend. I just don't have the energy for that anymore. Now if I didn't have to work it'd be a different story!




i feel terrible that i am so antisocial but i love just being with dh and doing our own thing. we don't go out, but we're just together and i like going grocery shopping or running errands. he's my best friend!

We defintely are, we spend our nights and weekends just vegging out in front of the TV. We're usually too tired to go out.

We are in the the winter only, we hibernate in the winter. But we have been becoming more active lately. I can't wait for summer.

Not necessarily and old married couple, actually we have been so busy with work and other things that I feel like we need to have some quiet time with each other to relax....it's crazy, almost like we are just in and out which isn't good, we need to get connected.

Definately not and we have lived together for 7 years. We never spend the weekends watching tv. We usually go out with friends or to dinner. Lately we have been doing a lot of work on the house so that is time consuming. We are very active and definately not home bodies.

Oh my g-d! That has become me. When I was single it would KILL me to sit home on a Saturday night even if I had to go out by myself, to a club etc.. Now, I am so content with ordering in or going out for dinner and coming home. I don't need the extra thing after dinner anymore. We rent alot.

We totally are. It's a rarity for us to go out any more. We sit around on our butts and we like it. Then again, being PG and all, I'm EXHAUSTED when I come home from work and we're also trying to save money, so it's better we don't go out so much anyway.
