I periodically write Trav random notes. Its kinda funny. Brings back a little something from when we first dated and our main communication was notes. (we were still in high school and he didnt have a phone)
So do you write notes? What do you do to show even though he is not there you are still thinking about him?
To answer some questions- Travis and I will write notes back and forth almost all the time. He works a twelve hour swing shift meaning he will work days for two weeks then nights for two weeks. Either way 12 hours only leaves about 2 hours communication time which is usually spent doing who knows what. So every so often I will write him a note. Usually about nothing or sometimes what is just going through my mind.
Night shifts are harder because we only see each other for 30 min before he has to head to work. Its nice to wake up to a hey honey note laying by my head when he is gone. It just shows that he was thinking about me.
Congrats to all the Mama's who smushy up your relationship. It can get really fun if you use your imagination for those that dont.
I bought a cute booklet of notes from Hallmark...they are more for kids, so it's even funnier when I stick one in w/ my husbands sandwich! :) I don't do it often enough! My son would be mortified if I put anything in his lunch...he's 13! My daughter would probably love it... :)
I do quite often. And send cards to the office. :)
I just wish it was reciprocated.
I'm kind of amused by this question. :)
Our notes are mostly along the lines of "dishes in DW are clean!" Or "don't forget to change the furnace filter!" Or "plumber's coming at 4:30" or "sign kiddos last test" or "porkchops for dinner--thawing in fridge" -- you know, along those lines.....
I think we know we're thinking about each other thru the day. We have texts, email and phones to connect. So many options for a long time married couple! Soooo...love notes? We always sign "love you!" Does that count? Haha
Mine is a bit more risque than yours, I write (and have written) my husband sexy short stories for years! He absolutely loves them and keeps our sex life alive and happy!
Other than that, we text throughout the day probably WAY more than *normal* married people!
But no, to the HS style notes. Any and all voluntary communication in a relationship is a sign of a very healthy relationship, IMO...so good for you guys! :)
My husband and I text or email all the time, even when he's only upstairs working in his office and I'm downstairs with the kids LOL
Handwritten notes never happen anymore for the most part.
All the time. I think it is a way to remind each other of the sweetness of an earlier time. It's innocent and it makes hubby smile. He collects them and puts them away. For Valentine's Day I made Love Note Jars for each of my kids and husband. I put about 200 notes and quotes of love and reminders of why I love them in a jar and decorated it. They all love it.
Not really. And not random texts either. When my husband is at work, his phone is turned off (there is no signal or very weak one, and it draws the battery down searching, so he just turns the whole thing off). He isn't allowed to have it on his person anyway, he has to leave it in a locker... so, he just leaves it in the car so he won't forget it there.
And when he is on his way to work or coming home, he is driving---so no texts to distract him then, either.
The rest of the time, he is pretty much with me. So no need for random notes or texting. Although sometimes when he's at one place with the kids and I am running errands elsewhere, we will exchange a series of witty communications...
If I leave him a random note, it is usually on the kitchen island so he'll see it before he leaves for work on his early day (he leaves around 5:00 a.m. that day), and I am not up yet. Otherwise, I stick it on his faucet in the bathroom. That is usually what I do with his birthday card or Valentine's Day card---prop it on the faucet so it is one of the first things he sees when he gets up ---whatever time it happens to be.
Don't understand a thing you are saying....a phone or didn't a cell phone? Did you not see each other during the day? What are you asking?
i know it's not "the same" but the sentiment is the same - we do text throughout the day. i love it. half the time it is nothing important, just to touch base.
My addiction to post-it notes amused my techie husband when we first met. So much so that one day he hid a tablet's worth of love notes around my apartment. He still hides sweet and goofy notes for me, when he leaves on work trips. In my coffee mug, under my keys, in the fridge...they make me smile. ...but, thanks to him, I'm now a huge fan of texting. :)
I put notes in my son's lunchbox. Does that count?
I just send my husband texts :)
No. Don't write notes, don't send texts. Isn't it enough that I let him live with me?
I leave a Post It note if we're not going to be home when he gets home.
Otherwise, I occasionally will leave him a random note or surprise in his
lunch tote after he's packed it. He never responds to those but at least
I know he gets them & he knows I was thinking of him.
The only time he thanks me is if I pack random surprise food in his lunch
tote. What's that old saying? The way to a man's heart is through his
stomach?
