Sitting on the sofa, watching tv, her feet in my lap, just being together. I lost my wife in 2023. I really miss her and those moments.

Stay strong brother, remember she’s not gone forever, she’s just waiting for in the afterlife. And for as long as you’ve got the memory’s, you’ll always have bits of her still with you.

Have you seen the show After Life with Ricky Gervais? It really helped me in a weird way. Really gets to the heart of that kind of loss.

When I was on a road trip with my current partner, he asked me what I was thinking about and I said I couldn’t stop thinking about the novel I was in the middle of. He then proceeded to find the book in the car and read it out loud to me for 45ish minutes while I drove. One of my favorite memories ever

I have something similar. It was April 2020, Covid raging everywhere, we had gotten together after being friends for over ten years, miles and miles apart, and on my birthday he stayed up the whole night reading The Little Prince to me, a book that I fell in love with when I was maybe 7. Marrying him soon, can't wait!

As a matter of fact, my user name dates back to my ex. I feel an emotional attachment to it, after so many years...

CautiousDavid Mar 30, 2026 +53
Completely unsolicited advice from a stranger, but I would really consider changing your username. It feels a bit unhealthy to hold onto that, and if I was your current partner it would not feel great that you go by this persona of an ex, even though I’d know it’s irrational and silly. Obviously I don’t know your life or how your partner feels, and I realize I get a bit immature about these things, but sometimes feelings are illogical.
53
hissadgirlfriend Mar 30, 2026 +39
My current partner knows about this username and he's totally fine with it! To me, the point is that an old listnook account is something very cool and that not many people have.

Shamscam Mar 30, 2026 +5
That sounds sweet, but there’s no f****** way I would be able to follow any of that. Audio books require some pretty heavy silence for me in the first place, let alone have someone reading something for the first time.

When my now wife and I first started dating we used to stay in my car for a little while after most dates talking and making out. 8 years later now and I miss those nights

The_Schwy Mar 30, 2026 +489
ask her to stay in the car and make out next time, you could even plan a date around it if you aren't in the car together very often.

PhlysportsPhan Mar 30, 2026 +384
I’ve never actually thought to plan a date around that - I appreciate the response. I’m going to try that! Thank you

As advised by others, make the plan and get your groove back! You’ll definitely ignite the sparks and enjoy the unfolding moments together.

We’re still close - but no sadly we’re definitely in more of the routine rut than the want to rip your clothes off or stay up all night talking phase

time_drifter Mar 30, 2026 +195
Fix it, and I don’t mean that condescendingly. Surprise her with it at some point. Everyone wants to relive their younger years when they can - within reason.

allysonwonderland Mar 30, 2026 +32
It’s still possible to go back! My husband and I have been together for almost 15 years… we’ve always been close but the past few years with kids def got us into the “routine rut” phase. The other day we went to dinner and made out in the parking lot like we were 25 again. It sounds weird and so simple but just make out with your wife lol
32
BigBallininBasterd Mar 30, 2026 +28
I feel that. I was going through this thread to find some inspiration on how to bring that openness back. I appreciate the reply.

Take some time to rekindle your car romance. Going to a friends for dinner? Make out in the car for a couple minutes before you go to the front door.

My ex used to wake up before me to leave for work. Every morning he’d get up, shower, eat, get dressed, etc… then 15-20 minutes before he had to leave he’d always lay back in bed to hold me before he left. Most of the time I’d only half wake up for it, but it always made me feel so loved and treasured.

vivacioussam Mar 30, 2026 +1377
My boyfriend and I were friends for a few years before we started dating. While we were still just friends, I went through something incredibly traumatic. He was a very supportive friend, and constantly invited me out/over all the time because I had a really hard time being alone during that time. We went to a show, had a few too many drinks, and I ended up spilling all the details of everything that had happened to me. I’d been able to tell people generally, like, hey - this happened to me, but I couldn’t talk about it on anything more than a surface level. I’d never even told my therapist at that point, and I’ve never been able to tell anyone since. He listened, attentively, and then told me his own, detailed experience of having gone through something similar several years prior. He’d never told anyone - not even in general terms. Having someone you can trust that deeply is just a different kind of intimacy.

My wife recently told me that the reason she jumps out of her skin a lot is because every relationship she’s been in has turned violent at some point. What I’m talking about is I’m waking through the house and I walk in to the kitchen, she sees me and gets startled. So, she was born and raised in Colombia. She told me that they have really different ideas about fidelity and domestic violence. She’s been hit with a fist before. So one week she actually hit me on accident my head was on her side of the bed, she turned over quickly to kiss me goodnight and I was where she dint expect me to be. Bam, I got her elbow in my forehead. I just yelled “ughhhh, owww… why..?” She reacted reasonably because she was very very sorry. Then later that same week, I had a nightmare (I’m a veteran and I’ve head to kill people very close up,) she woke me up. At the time my dog would have done it but he had cancer and he couldn’t help me. So the next day we were talking and she said something like, “it’s weird, you’ve been to war, and I know you’ve killed people, but you’ve never laid a hand on me, but every single ex of mine has. Why are you different?” I had to think a second, and said well, one I was raised very differently. I basically further said that because I was so intimately familiar with the effects of real violence, it has made me really really reluctant to use it at all. That’s how it should be. You should be lethal, but you should hope and pray you never have to do it, but you should be capable of it. Have a monster in you, but control it, that sort of thing. It still really fucks me up. To think my darling with was getting hit with a closed fist where she needed surgery to fix her face and nose. She actually whistles in her sleep because she was beaten so bad, it’s cute, but I hate when I hear it because of what it means. Sometimes people can tell you something and it’s just, what the hell do you do with that you know? You just gotta support them.

Both of my grandfathers were in WW2. Both were tough. Both killed people. Both saw some absolutely horrific things. And yet both were the most honorable and gentle men I’ve ever known, especially to their wives and their grandchildren. Many who serve nowadays are disconnected from the full reality of the violence they inflict. Blowing something up with a drone you controlled does not have the same psychological effects as fighting someone for your life in person. On the one hand, the last thing I want is for soldiers to have to experience trauma. On the other hand, there are many who have risen through the top ranks of political and military leadership who are too enthusiastic about war. I think it’s because they have never seen combat and don’t understand what real violence is like you said. Thank you for your service.

pineappledumdum Mar 30, 2026 +3
You seem like a good guy, but i highly disagree that people “should” be lethal but able to harness it. I think that’s a really dangerous paradigm that most people shouldn’t live in.

I’m not necessarily bad at making eye contact with people but sometimes I get so in my own head when I’m making eye contact with people that I end up not truly making eye contact with people (like looking at one of their eyes but not really making eye contact, or the bridge of the nose trick, etc.). So, I impromptu stared into my boyfriend’s eyes five inches from his face while we were making dinner a few weeks ago. And for like thirty seconds we just stared into each other’s eyes, making direct eye contact, and then we both started laughing. Anyway, that’s the most intimate moment I’ve ever had with anyone ever.

As an autistic person who hates eye contact this is so oddly relatable.. I never make eye contact with people, not for real. My partner is the only person I've tried it with and succeeded. Even if it took a long time.

Currently single but with my last partner, we’d only been seeing each other a short time and he asked me to cut his hair. It felt oddly intimate, but a happy memory.

In the (coed) dorms in college, I asked a lady friend to borrow a razor to shave my head. "Can I use one of your lady razors for my skull?" I had a shitty electric razor for my face. She volunteered to do it for me. When she'd finished, I said thanks and went to get a shower. When I came back to my room she was waiting for me and pounced on me like I was prey. Shit was wild.

lightningprism Mar 30, 2026 +31
I called her a “masterpiece of a woman” after we made love for the second time. I will never ever ever forget the look she gave me when I said that to her. Her eyes wrinkled with a gigantic smile, pupils dilated, and she kissed me without saying a word.

joelupi Mar 30, 2026 +5
We were hanging out after work and got drunk at my place. She made a comment about how I looked better when I just came out of basic and I had my hair shaved. So I went upstairs and got my electric razor and she cut most of it off right there in the kitchen. It was intimate and special in a way I can't fully describe but something we could always turn back to years later.

We read together. We have had so much of our lives ruined by tech that even when we lay board games there are tech aspects. But reading? Just getting comfortable and being with that other person? Peak. Especially when we read passages from the book we have to one another.

I got sick in the car on the way home. Ran into the house and stripped off everything and jumped in the shower. He cleaned the car and put my clothes in the wash then jumped in the shower with me to rub my back and make sure I was ok (I was hunched over in the shower). He got me my towel, I dried off then he snuggled me in bed until I fell asleep. Someone genuinely and lovingly caring for you when you’re ill is incredibly intimate. Is not the cutest story (we have lots of those too), but hot damn did it illustrate to me how much I want to be with him forever.

When I officially asked her to marry me with a ring, in person. I had asked over the phone while I was in tech school just after I found out I would be stationed overseas. My thought process was either break up instead of trying to make a relationship work halfway around the world, or marry her and take her with me. The in-person proposal was asked at a small park near the beach in Southern California, with the sun setting in the background. Our 49th anniversary is in a couple of days.

When I'm naked and lying on my stomach in bed and she's naked and lies on top of me and I can feel her all of the skin on the front of her body on my back and legs.  We're both just chilling watching TV or talking or on our phones.  It's like she's my weighted blanket and I feel so safe and secure.   Bonus points if we're cheek to cheek.

After sex, cuddling, talking. She sometimes told me about some pretty horrific things from her childhood and I would hold her closer to try to comfort her. Apparently, none of her partners had ever done that before, which broke my heart even further. It was sad, but very intimate. We're no longer together, but I hope I helped her heal a little.

One of many favorite moments: My dad went to the hospital one night at maybe 3AM after I found him on the floor of his room unconscious. When we got to the ER I was exhausted and anxious and they had taken my dad for an MRI. Me and my partner were broken up at the time (no bad blood, it was mutual), but she was there for me and came to the ER. She told me to rest a bit and nap and she'd wake me if something happened. I was too anxious to sleep. We had a thing where I would sing L-O-V-E by Nat King Cole to help her sleep and give her back scratches when she had trouble. She never really sang to me because she was self conscious about her voice. So, I laid there on her shoulder and she could tell I couldn't relax. Then with my eyes closed and my thoughts screaming at me, I hear her quietly start singing the song to me to help me rest and run her fingers through my hair just right in the middle of the ER. I teared up immediately and all I could hear was her voice. She quieted my mind and lightened the heaviness in my heart. I was still in love with her at the time and I never stopped falling. But that made the floor give out from under me and had me fall twice as hard.
22
joelupi Mar 30, 2026 +22
We were at her place watching tv or a movie or something. She laid down sideways and I was holding her. Somehow we ended up spooning each other in a way that meant neither of us could see the TV. But that didn't matter, I think we just needed that moment, that connection. Then I remember her saying "I really like you" and we kissed. When my day comes and my life flashes before my eyes I hope that moment will replay one more time.

When me and him laugh so hard at something so stupid and we look at each other and just keep laughing. Or when me and him just have moments where we just stare at each other without saying anything, feels like time stops.

When he’s asleep next to me and wraps his arm around my waist. It’s especially cute when he whispers in my ear when I’m half asleep and my hair looks like a spider nest but he tells me I look great. I also like the moments where he takes unflattering photos of me and saves them under his gallery folder.

I cracked my skull after falling off a 2 story balcony onto a driveway. Obviously he was there through all the medical things and recovery but while I was unable to move or look at light or screens or listen to loud noises (or regular noises) I asked him to tell me stories. He told me about all the adventures we’d been on together and about how we fell in love. Basically the princess bride but I was the little sick boy and he was the grandpa. He’s my best friend and I love him endlessly.

Me at the time (M27) my partner (F28) decided to take a 2 week long vacation exploring Europe, our itinerary consisted of Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Monaco and finally France. We had decided to drive all across Europe. We finally get to Italy, Lake Como specifically, after driving 9 hours that day we had finally settled into our Hotel, got dinner and wanted to go for a drink. This point it’s about 9 pm and we walk across the street to this restaurant/bar that’s built into the side of this old castle. We spend the next 3 hours drinking espresso martinis and I’m chain smoking cigarettes, there’s cars racing up and down the street, there’s a group of 10 Italians next to us laughing and dancing. We were in a bubble, in the middle of a storm, unbothered by anyone or anything but enjoying the night and chaos of a foreign country drunk and laughing throughout the night.

It was just after our marriage. We were fairly young (25 and 21 then). We were taking an overnight train in a AC sleeper compartment. In India, it's called 2 AC, do they have this structure where there are 6 berths in a section. I was at the side lower berth while my wife was in the side upper berth. We had settled down to sleep when the other 4 berths got occupied by guys who were brash and drunk. They did not target or talk about us particularly, but they were loud, talking about their sexual escapades in a recent Thailand trip in crude language and you know in a state that can make a girl uncomfortable. I don't think they noticed my wife as she was fully covered in the blanket and the light was dim I am used to these scenarios being a regular train traveller, but I could imagine how uncomfortable she would be feeling under her blanket. She was probably scared to even get up and ask for help. So I got up, ask her if she is OK. Seeing her face, I knew she was not. I asked her to come down and sleep with me in the lower berth. She looked so relieved and that's how we travelled the whole night. The berth was barely enough for one person (we both are tall and well built), but we spend the full night cuddled there. She hugged me tight, I suppose out of relief and knowing how she is in safe hands (she told me this later) We did not get sneaky or anything (no space or mood for that), but I still think that night went a long way in establishing a very strong bond between us

Everytime we have a moment together we touch. And it's so natural. Even just walking by each other. We're 50 now (well, she's almost there, lol). Married for nearly 15 years and it's the best, and it somehow keeps getting better. We're not perfect but it feels like we are going in the right direction every day!

When we are both singing to the same song on opposite sides of the room. Likely experiencing the same memory from years ago together when we first made it "our" song. I will never point it out to her in fear she could become conscious of it and not do it naturally or avoid doing it. Some things are more beautiful that way.

We were together for maybe 2 years at this point ( now together 29 ) we were sitting in the car, just holding hands, talking and ended up telling each other all of our deep dark secrets. The stuff that nobody else knows, it 100% cemented our bond. I still think about that night sometimes, because it was most definitely a major turning point in our relationship, being able to tell each other everything without fear of judgment.

There isn’t any singular moment, but when we are both laughing about something and say the same thing. Idk how to explain it but our sense of humor and our brains just align and we know what the other person is going to say before we say it. Just that moment of pure joy of sharing a joke with the one I love it just *chefs kiss*

Sitting on the sofa at mine on our second date, I remember I’d told her about that love language test and we were trying to find one she could do for free on her phone. Eventually we did, and as she sat there doing it for maybe… 15-20 minutes, I just sort of cuddled up on her shoulder. I think it was something about the being together but like our energy was sort of floating else where? It was one of most serene moments between us. I actually made a painting of that scene just so I can always remember what that felt like.

There was one night, when we had first started dating, and right after one of the first few times we actually had sex. Many of her exs just used her, though I have always tried to be better than them. I had to leave quickly after and didn’t have time to give her proper aftercare. I felt so awful, so later that night I went back and left a few gifts on her porch as an apology. I then went back to my car and texted that I left them there for her. She saw my car and came running out. We spent at least 2 hours crying together about nothing and everything. That’s the moment she always claims she knew I truly loved her.

We met at 13 and 15, both ab to turn 14 and 16. Been together for 6 years now. At the start, the feeling of meeting someone and actually being in not just puppy love but real love was intoxicating. Our first kiss- I can’t even find the words if I wanted to. It felt like how it is depicted in the movies. Followed by intense makeouts and cuddles for hours. Still till this day we can’t get enough of eachother. I’m so f****** lucky.

I know this is so late to the conversation, but I have to leave this here because my husband is so wonderful. He gives me every folded chip because they are extra crunchy. Premium plus crackers- you know the ones that have a burnt edge on the entire side? Saves the whole stack for me. He senses my day was stressful? Home to a warm tub with candles.

I dated a woman who had Tourettes, she hated them and hated herself for having them whereas I loved them and it was just one more thing to fall in love with about her. But she would get the ticks really bad sometimes, like just out of nowhere she’d start having an attack and that would stop whatever we were doing. But we were in bed one night I was already asleep and she had kicked me awake, I instantly knew she was having an attack. Her shoulder was dislocated but during the attack it kept jolting up to her face and it would hit her face. So I put my arm between her shoulder and her face so it wouldn’t hit and hurt her. And I held her close to my body so she wouldn’t do anything else. The attack went on for roughly 20-25 minutes and by the end she was crying and saying that she hated herself and that she hated her ticks. I remember just holding her and looking right into her eyes and telling her “I love you, I love everything about you. You are not a burden to me, you’re my baby. You are not labor for me, you are my love” and I kissed her on the forehead. We fell asleep in each other’s arms and the woke up the same way. I was getting up to make her breakfast and she pulled me back down into bed and asked me to just lay like this with her for a little bit, so I did and we just talked and cuddled. That was probably my favorite intimate moment with her

we were dancing in my room, and she had jumped up and wrapped her legs around me while we were standing up. she leaned back, but her legs lost grip and she began to fall. so i grabbed her and lifted her up and onto the bed the look she gave me while i did that…i can picture it now. the way her eyes looked up at me, and her half smile which i can only describe as sly, or like a smirk of some kind but she failed to recognize our connection and left about a year ago

After an amazing date out at our local Christmas lights place, we went into the gift shop to look around. They had this model train and we were both so interested in it, well I asked a couple questions to the builders. After that she looked up at me with her gorgeous brown eyes, wrapped her arms around me, and nestled her head into my chest. It was at that moment I knew I was going to marry that girl.

Either showering together and it’s just full of bickering coming from me because I’m freezing my ass off, me sitting on his lap while he’s playing video games and I’ll occasionally get a kiss from him, cuddling and we’re just goofing off or he’s rubbing my side or something with his hand while I’m on his arm and he’s just holding me and we’re just talking.

I have ptsd. I had a flashback in front of my boyfriend. I’ve been in therapy for years and can usually ground myself quickly or excuse myself to the bathroom. But this one was a doozy, I couldn’t breathe, talk, stand, whatever. I was just sobbing and shaking out of nowhere while I was on his lap kissing him. And I don’t often talk about it so he had no way of knowing what was going on. He stopped what he was doing and just told me I was safe, it took me at least 20 minutes to be able to speak at all. And when I did all I could say was “I’m scared I’m too much for you. You haven’t seen this before and I hate that you had to.” We had a wonderful heart to heart, we talked about our insecurities, our pasts, what we want for the future, and I still was crying for a bit and he held me, kissed my forehead, and we just sat there for a bit. I wasn’t even able to tell him it was a flashback until a few days later, the words kept getting stuck in my throat and I was super embarrassed. I mean who has a panic attack *on* their boyfriend. But when I did he was just as understanding as before, like he always is, and he said he was worried but wanted to give me time to talk about it since he knows I don’t like big emotions, and we were a lot closer after that. And even now it’s easier for both of us to open up about old or current struggles. Edit: it wasn’t a nice/pleasant moment, but it was a good one because it made us both realize we’re safe with one another no matter what

Showering together is always cool. This goes under the sex category but it's not just sex. He has a way more thorough skin care routine than I do. Sometimes I suck him off while he does it, maybe trims his beard and brushes teeth while at it. It's fun to watch him in the mirror while he's super focused on that and I'm just randomly sucking him off

Ex wife…. 2 moments: first was seeing the look on her face…. So so so happy when I finished my fist Ironman triathlon (she finished 30-45 minutes before me)… and she was just…. Beaming in happiness for soooo long that night. Second, it was how happy she sounded over the phone when…. I mentioned I found a job by her…. And just the level of on/happy/euphoric…. Yeah… when divorce came…. I’ll leave that story for another day…. Definitely miss that side of both of us

The first time we sat and talked about our childhoods and teen years together. We grew up in pretty similar family situations, social groups and the more we spoke the more I could to tell she was someone I loved being around. There was trauma bonding for sure, but it was more than that. There was a connection I had never had with anyone else before.

My wife and I would hang out in the parking lot after work just hugging and talking for hours. This was only a couple months after we had first met, and we were just friends who liked hugging. Eventually we realized this wasn't just platonic hugging and the rest is history. Now our dogs get jealous when we hug and won't stop barking.

When my wife and I first started dating in our teens we rode to a concert with my wife's sister and her husband. Ozzy and Cinderella I think. It was about a 50 mile trip each way to the concert in a small pickup truck and we rode in the back because there was no room up front. (Stick shift) It was warm on the way there but chilly on the way home and we snuggled under a blanket and kissed a little the whole way home. That was about 35 years ago and I still remember like it was yesterday.

At one point we were lying on the sand together just looking at the stars, speaking and holding hands. I saw my first shooting star that night and now almost 4 years later, we’re still thriving

So it was actually during sex, but it caught me off guard when she said "you're enough, you're a good man, and I love you" and wrapped her arms around me. I actually had to stop myself from crying because it just hit me so hard and I had not felt that way in so long.

My partner and i once were high on like, a FUCKTON of marijuana, and we were laying on the floor talking and bonding, which turned into us giving eachother massages and loosely cuddling.. it felt like sex, but it wasnt sex at all. there was nothing sexual about it, even though it definitely felt that way. there was no makeout session, no inappropriate areas, just... massaging, cuddling, and having a deep conversation. It was so odd and pleasant. We talked about it after we sobered up, and decided to just call it cuddle sex because we couldnt figure out what that was even meant to be.

My husband and I went for a hike recently, and everytime there was a tricky rock or bit of terrain or unstable part of the river to cross he held out his hand for me to hold onto and always made sure I made it down safely before moving on. Sounds so simple but I still think about it now and smile. It really is the little things in life.

I mentioned off hand how worn out I was, was just gonna go home and sleep for 12 hours etc. The woman I was seeing at the time just drove 30 minutes to my apartment, let herself in, and crawled into bed with me at 7am. No sex, no nothing. We just slept together. Meant the world to me at the time. Wish I could say we are married now, but we aren’t

Few weekends ago, we were drinking with our friends and decided to go to a bar, but she had this woo girl drunk moment, and the guard didn’t like it so, we didn’t get in :D Afterwards I just took us back home, we smoked a little joint, she calmed to the depths of the sofa and I calmly caressed her while listening to Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here. Gotta say, after 5 years of being together, this must be one of the best memories with her.

Some years ago, a guy and I traveled all the way up to northern Sweden to visit his friends. We both ended up getting pretty sick while we were there, him even more so than me, but we still had to go out. As I was about to tie my shoelaces, he just bent down and tied them for me. I know it sounds small, but I was truly touched because he was so ill and I hadn't even asked him to do it, yet he did it anyway. I think that was probably the first time I ever felt like someone truly cared about me.

I have a dog who's not so much aggressive but barks a lot due to being unsocialized when he was younger. He won't get close with anyone but me and I have tried countless times. However when I met my girl, shed toss him sausages and treats and such from a distance. Before ya know it he would sniff her feet. I was so scared he'd bite or something. Now we all cuddle together and even sometimes I wonder if he loves her more then me lol.
