Love is a crazy thing. While we strive to show off our best selves on a first date, longing for affection and possible romance, things change dramatically when you’re past the point of “it’s a match!” That’s when the real relationship begins with all its drama and everydayness. Some get bored when the initial spark is over, but others find themselves having a best friend for life.
And this post is about the latter. When someone asked “What do you do with your SO that isn't normal?” on r/AskReddit, people could immediately relate and shared some of the weirdest, most genuine, and insanely cute things they do with their partner. From doing things like “laundry turtle,” “inverted kissing,” and “kiss monster” to a 17-year-long game of pinning a clothespin to the other's clothes. Don’t ask me what it is, I have no clue either.
Read on below through couples' most entertaining things-people-won’t-get stories and be sure to share if you have something like this in the comments!

He dumps the laundry on me when it's warm and fresh out of the dryer, and I sort the socks and underwear from inside the pile while he hangs up the shirts and folds the pants. We call it "laundry turtle".

As an interracial couple, the wifey and I like to play a little game called “you people “.
When we’re out in public and engaged in conversation, one of us will spontaneously and loudly ask the other: “WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU PEOPLE?!” To which the other must respond as sincerely as possible, “Well, you know___” and then fill in the blank with a rando factoid about them, like: “people who sleep with socks on.”
You win points when you turn heads, extra points if a bystander laughs!

I have a friend that does something like this to his wife. He'll say something to her but start it with "I don't want to sound like a racist but..." and follow it with something that is completely benign. "but that was a really fun trip" "but the weather is beautiful today" He says it loud enough other people can hear. His wife hates it.

Cuddle or hold hands while fighting. It reminds us that we’re not fighting against each other, we need to understand each other and work through the issue.

This list is for things that aren’t normal so it makes sense. But beyond not being normal, I’m not sure it’s even healthy. A fight should be a fight and it should be allowed and it should be okay to be angry and show it and not want to touch and cuddle. That’s all perfectly fine and healthy.

We don't sleep together. It's a comfort and convenience thing. He gets up early for work, I dont crawl into bed until 3 or 4 am. I've never been comfortable sleeping with other people because I toss and turn and stretch out every which way, so it just works better for us to sleep in seperate beds in seperate rooms. Whenever I tell people this they act shocked, like it's super friggin weird. We both like to be comfortable...

I kick, punch, turn aswell. We just got a bigger bed so it doesn’t lead to accidents. But I know why I sleep like this. Because I have constant nightmares half my life. And when it’s really grave, there is no better comfort than having my wife grab me, comfort me, hold my hand, or just be there.

We have separate bedrooms as well, since day 1. We are both light sleepers, have different schedules, prefer different temperatures, and different blankets. He must sleep on and under wool blankets while just the thought of wool makes me break out in hives. We also have our own spaces to decorate how we like. It works very well for us. Been together 9 years.

We started sleeping separately during a COVID quarantine and realized we got better sleep that way because of tossing and turning, snoring, etc. and have continued to sleep apart for better sleep. It took some time to convince our college son that "mommy and daddy still love each other and are not headed for divorce," we just want to continue getting better sleep.

I would love to do this because he is a really light sleeper and if i cant sleep he always wakes up. Also he needs like 2h of sleep while I need 20h. But we love spooning/cuddling too much for it to work. We have a spare bed so i go there if I am feeling sick so he doesnt wake up.

We have the WYK rule. If one of us says, "would you kindly blah blah blah" the other one must, no matter what, do that thing. There is zero negotiation. It's mostly whipped out for benign stuff, sometimes for very silly stuff, but occasionally used in serious situations. It's equal parts silly, fake outrage, and a deep, committed trust. It only works because we trust each other not to abuse WYK or use it for evil.

What started as a simple whistle to get the others attention has turned into a full blown second language consisting of nothing but whistles. ‘Hello’ is a simple high tone whistle followed by a slightly lower tone whistle. To properly say ‘hello’ back you must respond with an even higher pitched whistle sequence or a slightly lower pitched sequence.
‘Warning:danger or distress’ is three high pitched whistles. A sad whistle is one that starts high then quickly goes to a low tone.
We’ve legit had phone conversations where we whistle at each other and laugh for 10 minutes. We thought we were insane (still are but) until realizing there are cultures out there that whistle poetry to each other and that whistling may have been the first way peeps communicated with each other.

Probably “kissy sonar”.
I am a very extroverted woman and need my existence to be acknowledged every once in awhile. My wife is extremely introverted so conversations constantly are a big no no. So we make kissing noises around the house every now and then as a kind of “I love you, everything’s fine over here- you ok?” A kissy back and we both continue doing our own thing in silence. No kissy back means trying a louder kissy noise, waiting 5 seconds, and wandering out to make sure everything is ok.
Everyone gets what they want. I feel like I’m being paid attention to, she’s not overburdened by talking with me or doing something together, but we still are connected.

We've been married for 32 years. We're both professionals in career with kids no longer at home. Yet for our entire marriage whenever one of us travels we do something special for the one traveling. My wife's method is to sneak into my luggage and leave little love notes and comments and requests for a hot call on colored cards. I'm talking I’ll pull on a dress shirt and discover a little card in the pocket that says, “call me at 11:00 my time hot stuff”. The people at my work where I travel to the same location now laugh when I reach into a coat pocket, pull one out and read it. Or they see the collection in the pocket of my back pack. I travel 8-12 times a year so this is some work.
My approach is a little different. I write one very romantic or passionate letter or story or poem. Or I sketch something I found beautiful and add a small note. She has saved them over the years so not only one per time she travels but Mother’s Day or birthday, or sometimes random desire to let her know I love her. It's now a small book.
Also, we always end the day in a call together. Even if I’m in Mumbai and one of us has to stay up until 1:00am or get up at 4:am, we always tell each other we love them and good night.
She still tells me the most romantic thing ever was one time I typed two pages of reasons why I loved her then cut them up into tiny pink strips (numbered of course) and then went through all of her personal stuff and hide them in places only she would find them. Like one inside a pocket in every jacket. One inside her thick and thin gloves. One per drawer in her dresser. One in her makeup kit suitcase. And so on. It took her more than seven months to find them all. She said it made her day to find one four months on, just stumble across it. I did get this from the author of a book called 101 Passionate Nights. So I can't take credit for the idea. But it was a total surprise to her. Those two pages of taped-together comments are also in her book of love notes.
Yes, she tells me I’m more romantic and mushy than she is.

When me and my ex would get into dumb arguments/debates we used to “send it to council to be reviewed”. There was no council. There would be no review. It was basically our way of shelving an argument that would never have a winner. Every now and then we’d ask each other if we’ve gotten an update from council on what the judgement was.

Whenever he sneezes, I shout as aggressively as I can SHUT UP. To which he responds even louder, YOU SHUT UP. This is everywhere. At home, in public, it doesn’t matter. It’s gotten to the point where I consciously have to stop myself from shouting at anyone else who sneezes.

He absolutely must touch my butt at least once every time we go to Walmart. I can't even remember how this started, but it's totally f**king weird if we forget.
And Floor Dollar. A dollar bill that had fallen out of one of our pockets in the washer, and consequently fell down into the crack between the machines when I was transferring the clothes to the dryer. We both ignored it for like year because we were too lazy to use a broom or whatever to fish it out, and then one of us finally acknowledged it to the other. We decided to leave it there as a symbol of our wealth; we've never been down to our last dollar. It now has a quarter for a friend.

We have online dates. Which doesn’t sound to strange but let me explain.
It’s a LDR so it’s hard to go on dates when we are apart. So instead, every now and again, we get pizza, have some wine and will sit and eat and talk all with cameras on and pretend we are in a restaurant (like actually talk about our own rooms like it’s a restaurant).
Then we either watch a movie together and talk about it, or just get caught up with drinking and chatting, or we will play some sort of game together. Occasionally, sex stuff happens too, but usually on the date nights we just like our date time and being together (or as close to that as we can get)
Our friends think it’s weird that we do that, so I guess it’s a good thing to put here? I don’t think it’s weird though, I just wanna spend time with someone I love when he’s in a different country.

Drives are fun. My wife often has trouble sleeping, and naps during the day really mess with her sleep cycle, but for some reason, when we go for a drive (me driving), she can sack right out (moving car noise; sun on her face; etc), and it doesn't affect her nighttime sleep. So we do it at least once a week. And in Central Texas, there are a crapton of roads just outside Austin that are a lot of fun to drive on (and not a lot of traffic, which is sweet).

We have phrases for specific situations. If you suspect your partner is a shapeshifter or being inhabited by a evil demon or possessed by a witch... we ask them what kind of knees do you have? The correct answer is bird knees. If either one of us becomes a ghost we let out a little rawr if we are present in the room with you. If you cannot find someone in a crowd or worried you can’t find the person just let out a cacaw. Big powerful bird noise. We have way more but these are the immediate three that jump out.

Shortly after we were married (before cell phones), I picked up the other phone extension and told my husband to hang up because I needed "to make dinner".

Alright this will take some explaining but me and my husband have a game we call business business. I can’t fully remember how it came about but the goal is to fully and completely clasp the other persons right hand in yours and shake it twice while repeating “business business”. If the other person can get their hand free or shout “business business” at the same time it’s a failed attempt. We don’t keep score but the last person who got in a successful handshake is the winner until they are dethroned. So what started as a little inside joke has spiraled into a full competition with such notable wins as... at my uncles funeral. While reaching for an offered water bottle (we live in the desert) And in the middle of any and all arguments. It’s gotten so bad that anytime either of us try to hold hands we both have a momentary standoff to make sure it’s not a ploy.

My partner will randomly shake my hand and then tickle my palm. I hate it but it’s also kind of amusing. I don’t know how I never see it coming

Armpit trust. It’s the number one rule that cannot be violated, no matter how tempting it might be, you can’t poke the other’s armpit.

Oh no, that is literally my husband's only ticklish spot. Not giving that up. Lol

Would definitely not like young kid me. Me and my sister would often have tickle fights were we tickle each other and avoid being tickled. Funny enough eventually we went from tickling our arm pits to just stabbing each other’s arm pits. No wonder we evolved into just straight up play fighting

We sleep in separate bedrooms. She's a light sleeper and I snore like a freight train.

Try a snore mouthpiece! You will get better sleep too even if you still sleep in separate rooms. I sleep better, punch him less in the middle of the night & he wakes up feeling more refreshed!

If you snore like freight train, you most likely have sleep apnea, which is really hard on your heart. Look into an oral appliance prescribed by a dentist. You will sound better, sleep better and live longer.

Sometimes when I answer the phone I become Detective Tony Pepperoni, and he's Cheesy Steve and the Saucy Boys. There's never really any warning, it just kinda happens and it gets pretty intense.

Someone once told me using the pinky finger means "Take a feather, you don't deserve the whole bird." I always thought that was funny.

We don’t know where the other one is most of the time. When we go out separately to each friends ‘ parties we send a code text to check in , he sends “Marco” and I answer “Polo”. We actually started that when our friends insisted we had to keep track of each other due to the wave of violence and crime in our country.

Red light bonus round. We kiss when we stop at a red light.

I feel like having cute rules like this help during arguments. I will keep this one in mind

We shower together almost every night. It’s really nice to just be naked together and have that extra talking time. Plus cute, wet, soapy husband
#45
While we're in the shower he'll cover his body with soap, wrap his arms around me, and then go up and down really fast so he's rubbing the soap all over me and cleaning me off. We call this "Carl wash" cause its like a car wash for me, but my nick name is Carl n he's washing me off hehe
#46
We do this thing we call "90's dance" where I wrap my arms around his neck and he puts his hands on my waist, we look into each other's eyes and just dance really slow and cheesy moving our hips side to side a la 90's teen movie where they're playing slow music.

We've done this too, we are german and call it dancing like in those older american high school movies.

We have a mating dance that has gotten increasingly elaborate in the decade we have been together. Example moves: slapping one's own butt, moving one's arms like a choo choo train, one handed clapping.
Some of the moves go out of fashion year to year, but we have a significant repertoire.
#48
We sneak up on each other and bite each other on the neck to assert "dominance". We use the "dominance" to win trivial arguments like who do our animals love more.

We "steal yawns" by sticking fingers in the other's mouth and touching the tongue when they yawn. We also do this to my pets.

When we eat delicious food together we will make yummy food noises or do a little wiggle dance. Sometimes we forget that this isnt a normal thing and will catch ourselves enjoying food to the fullest in public.
#51
A specific Loud screechy noise as a greeting to each other. I started it and I’d done it to other people for a while before we got together but he was the first person to do it back. Now it’s just how we answer the phone or say hi when we walk into the room.
#52
We try to scare one another by hiding behind doors and jumping out. The other day I parked down the street, sprinted home and hid in the closet. She thoroughly enjoys a good startle. Usually 5 seconds of freak out followed by 5 mins of us laughing. I’m much better at the game than her. She doesn’t know this, but I walk around the house in full stealth mode even when I’m confident she’s out.
BasedWang 4 years ago
this is no bueno for me. When I get scared my immediate reaction is to swing. I did have a daring GF who used to like to jump out and then duck as fast as she could to avoid getting mollywhopped, and I was like ARE U Fn KIDDIN ME... What if I actually made contact........ apparently it was fun for her..... I lived in fear
#53
Getting smushed. I literally make my boyfriend lay on top of me completely pretty much face to face. The pressure comforts me and I’m warm and he’s still touching me without getting too hot.
#54
Straight up wrestle for fun. Not like sexy way or the cute let the other one win way, but like actual competition.
#55
We make [baby] sloth noises at each other [less of the squeaky and more of the ehh! ones lol] as a kinda sorta 'check in' with each other like 'hey, you okay? All good? Good.' We can be in different rooms around our place and as long as the other makes a sloth noise back, you know they're good. We've also occasionally used it to find each other when we've lost each in other a store/etc. Over time I've forgotten it's not exactly normal and one time we 'slothed' at each other when in company of other friends at a gathering and everyone was just like 'wtf was that?!'

We have 2 dogs. My SO and I pretend we are the dogs and have full conversations as them....even when we aren't around them.

My hubby talks for our Lab and our Lab now recognises the different tone and knows you are talking about him...
#57
We don’t use each other’s names. We sometimes use vague pet names but nothing like babe/honey etc. We also don’t fight. We’ve had discussions about things that bother or upset us but in the 5 years we’ve never once raised our voices against each other.
#58
He scratches my back every night before bed and massages my feet.
He also eats all the orange candies so I don't have to. That's pretty normal but still cute.
#59
We talk to each other sometimes in different voices and characters we "collected" over the years to make the other laugh/annoyed/uncomfortable etc and just f**k with SO. I often do speak with various accents while she pitches her voice super high and we keep going til one of us gives up.

Married eleven years and we don’t poop or fart in front of each other. Most couples think it’s weird.

Certainly don't poop in front of my partner, but if I had to hold my farts in, I'd inflate and explode!

We invented rock, paper, scissors with kissing! Mouth closed= Rock Mouth open= Paper Tongue sticking out= Scissors It devolved in to doing it randomly so that we could catch each other by surprise and win!

It only started recently, but my boyfriend grabs my lips like one would grab an oreo and kisses me like that

So do we! Both phones lying around somewhere- we grab whatever is closest and also answer each other's phones. No secrets

Seriously a good thing. Me and my husband do this. He let's me mess with the telemarketers though. Especially the last one that called stating they were the IRS and he had serious charges against him.

he bites me, and not playfully, he chomps me like a chicken nugget

I take pics of my dog and message him with captions like if my dog is talking to him. I had a friend see me do that and was freaked out by it. Lol
#66
At least once a day, one of us will lean in for a quick kiss and instead, I will stick my tongue out at him. He licks me back every time.

My husband is a geologist. I'm a biologist. So nerdy is our love language. We love learning and challenging each other, and how complementary our fields of interests are. Our honeymoon (as yound college students, so veeery low budget)? Visiting the largest astronomical observatory in North East America, and a 100 year old copper mine the next day, obviously! And what do we do when an earthquake shakes us out of bed at 5 AM? Hop on the dial-up Internet (was early 2000s), get the closest sismograph readings, estimate the speed of P and S waves through the different types of rock formation, triangulate the epicenter, and sit in front of TV with a bowl of fereal until the news come on to check if we were right. We were. Never a dull moment, 24 years down, looking forward to every one left to go! 😁

Every time I go to Walmart I take a photo of some flowers and send it to my wife Dana. Because it's the thought that counts it's like I'm sending her the actual flowers, and the pictures last a hell of a lot longer than the flowers would.

I started off as an Army Wife. There were times my husband would have to do 24 hour CQ duty. We lived an hour away from the base, so when his shift was near ending, I'd rent a hotel room and grab some food so he could eat and sleep right away. Funny thing was, he would fall asleep eating a chicken nugget and when I'd say "Chuck!" His eyes would snap open and he'd rapidly start chewing again. After a few attempts at eating, he'd sleep until late afternoon while I went and did errands on the base. Then we'd head home.

At night, I won't turn on a light when we go into another room, when my wife follows me and turns on the light I yell 'SURPRISE!' and pucker my lips, I won't move until I get a kiss. sometimes she makes me wait for my kiss. And yes, this includes when I go to the bathroom.

I feel less weird about my own marriage now. We've been married since we were 16. We used to hold hands while sleeping but people found out and gave us sh*t so we quit. We speak in references tho. Family Guy, American Dad, Futurama, and Bob's Burgers. Etc. Lol. It's so crazy now we can say one word to each other and understand exactly what the other person is referring to and why it relates to the situation. Useful around family and friends to have a secret convo. We've never had anyone crack our code and that makes it more special and fun for us! We also kiss 3X every time and always sleep in the same positions every night. Oh and when we feed our pup every day at 4pm, we yell "Dog Fooood" like an air raid siren repeatedly cuz she loves it. :D We get called weird for fake bickering in the grocery store. But we get laughs for sure and we have a blast. Makes it less stressful bc I get anxiety around people.
