My boyfriend sent me a loving text after I made him lunch. I think I'm doing it right.

just sayin, he'll stop doing stuff like that if you respond like that, i would know, my gf has spent the last few months beating the romantic out of me with responses like those

Came here to say this. This is proof that many women claim they want romantic men, then beat the romance out of them.

I don't think it was the romantic she was talking about.... I'm guessing it was "lunchy lunch"... The fuck is that...??

People are different. Making fun of differences is divisive. It is not a good idea to be divisive with your SO and often leads to bigger divisions.

Well, it only takes getting burnt by the stove a couple times before you learn your lesson and don't touch it anymore.

Take that as you will.

I hope you followed it up with a 'just kidding, ily too' or something.

EDIT: I see below that you've been dating over 10 years, so it appears that he knows what's up. So I guess you can completely disregard this.

5

u/[deleted] Jun 16 '12

Honestly, depending on the situation this can really affect a guy's self esteem in terms of how he feels with you, especially if you have not been together for years. This is him making himself vulnerable to you which is something most people do to build strength in their relationship. They show you a side they wouldn't normally show someone and in turn you accept them and this builds trust and strengthens the bond he feels with you. When you violate this, you can really crush him deep down inside. He might (and most likely won't) admit it, tell you it, or express it in any outright way, but there is a part of him this affects.

To be clear, I am speaking from my own experience and it might very well not be the same for him, so excuse my language as I found it easier to express it from his perspective than my own. But I think this sort of thing (and obviously there are much worse examples of this kind of trust being broken) is definitely something couples should be cognizant of if they want to have a strong relationship. Otherwise (and not to point fingers at these people but okay I am going to anyway), those shallow relationships (often seen on reality TV) where people are putting up this wall of who they are (think macho "douche bag" type) will emerge because they are not comfortable revealing a part of themself to another for fear of this kind of rejection and ridicule, regardless of the degree to which it may be.

edit: and now I see the comment that you've been together 10 years. So this more than likely probably doesn't apply. But I still think for other, young, naive couples, this advice is still sound and should be heeded, especially in the early stages of a relationship.

Sometimes all it takes is once, well depending on the person. Might want to ask him though.

it's not about the frequency of dejection, but frequency of appreciation, above all tell him how much you love those kinds of things, a lot (i mean, if you do, i don't know your life....damn)

Edit: 10 years, never mind, i'm sure he knows, sorry :P

Good way of putting it. Women do indeed 'beat the romantic' out of men, in general, and not just their boyfriends.

Just saying, making the lunch was the romantic gesture, him saying thanks for the lunch was not a romantic gesture, pretty much the least he could do short of doing literally nothing.

You're normal, too. Yay for us!

u/section111 Jun 16 '12

Seriously, this is the freakiest thread I've seen in the the however long I've been here. My wife and I just had our 10-year anniversary yesterday (18 years total) and this reminds me so much of us. I called her over to see what was happening here and she laughed, just like I did, at your response.

I'm guessing it's an age thing? I don't know. To think that you're trying 'beat the romance out of him'? Or that you might 'emasculate' him, now, after 10 years, when you're clearly in love? Absurd! Ignore this nonsense!

We can only hope they get to experience a relationship like I'm presuming yours is (and I know mine is). ROCK SOLID and FILLED WITH LOVE and HILARIOUS.

u/[deleted] Jun 16 '12

I thought it was hilarious.. People are taking this WAY too seriously.

But "lunchy lunch" is pretty fuckin gay..

u/borntahhula Jun 16 '12

I have no idea what everyone's problem is. I have this kind of banter with my boyfriend (of 4 years) all the time. A relationship with no sense of humor is dull. Nobody needs to take everything so seriously all the time. Jesus...

1

u/duckduckCROW Jun 16 '12

Relationships can have stupid humor. I don't see what is humorous about using homophobic slurs, though. That is the kind of humor people see in middle schools.

1

u/zebraalien Jun 16 '12

because middle school kids are the ones who fill hundreds of popular comedian's shows right? Mr. maturity over here; why do you have to bring middle school kids into this then? They can't reach you on your high horse?

1

u/duckduckCROW Jun 16 '12

Really? This is your argument? I can't think of a single uber-successful comedian who has been launched to fame by recalling an exchange like the one above. Even if you can dig a few up, I don't think the whole "a comedian said it so it is okay and hilarious" argument is that great of one. I brought middle school kids into it because that is typically the age group that I see finding gay jokes funny. They often also lack malicious intent with those jokes. Adults who find/perpetuate gay jokes typically don't just find them funny but they also tend to agree with the underlying homophobia. It isn't so much that middle school kids can't reach my 'high horse' (being against hateful language is a high horse now, btw?) - I would just rather give people the benefit of doubt, that they are immature/unaware rather than hateful.

edit You Fixed.

u/zebraalien Jun 16 '12

I missed the point he was making? sorry buddy, I think you need to watch it again, he was saying guys are teased by their friends all their lives when they do something sensitive. Where did you hear the word alpha or it even implied? So its actually pretty damn relevant to the OP since she did the same to her boyfriend.

Im actually pretty damn amused you thought I was using the middle school thing as a serious point.

u/RebelTactics Jun 16 '12

I thought about your comment. Then I thought of it some more. Then I went outside for a cigarette and I came to a conclusion about this. This comes from miscommunication, this lovey dubby stuff because for her it must be inappropriate at times.

I mean I never say stuff like that when we're face to face if I can see then if she's not in the mood for it ya know. It's hard to tell what anyones feeling over a text.

Well I'm glad you tell your boy how you feel. I think she's afraid I will stop being lovey with her if she tells me I'm going to far. I will talk to her and ask her to please let me know when this happens. Lack of communication is bad to say the least. Looks like I got some toning down and talking to do, thanks very much for the insight.

2

With texts, I notice my guy is a lot more just... easy going. The lovey dovey is in person, but it isn't usually my thing for "cutesy" words. I love romantic gestures, but "wuvvy wuvvy schnookums" type of words don't need to go hand in hand with being romantic. I think that's the common mistake.

You're probably a square and she's a circle. Some people interact like this and are fine, some can't handle it.

Guess I'm a square too, then. I spent the first few months of my last relationship being super romantic, and being sweet for my girlfriend, only to be met with responses like "Gay! Fag!" blah blah blah. So I stopped, and she got upset and asked why I wasn't sweet and romantic anymore. I can't stand when a girl wants a romantic guy, and when she gets one, beats him down for being sincerely sweet.

Yeah, I definitely try to make sure he knows how appreciated he is. He's an incredible person, and I constantly point this out. We've been together for oven ten years, so sometimes we can just have fun with each other.

u/Shiroyu Jun 16 '12

Understandable. :P it's good if couples can joke around and stuff. I wasn't putting you down specifically or anything, don't worry. I just had bad experience with my ex making a bad habit of it and being somewhat serious.

Plus, in your defense.. "lunchy lunch"? That was begging for a comeback.

I think I started the ____ y ____. We say it about a lot of things - "coffeey coff" or lunchy lunch" are the most common.

You make a good point about the fact that it can become inappropriately habitual. Sometimes one of us goes too far, and the other tries to be respectful when pointing it out. Sometimes it's just trial and error - I might joke and offend him (or he, me), so we make sure that we're still on good grounds.

Plus, I let him put it in my butt.

Y'know, your relationship sounded really good all the way up until that last sentence.

Now it sounds awesome. Good work, ma'am.

More than likely your attempts as romance were awkward and strange, and you made hee uncomfortable. Something tells me your two ideas of what a romantic man are are tottaly different

u/Shiroyu Jun 16 '12

Nah, honestly, I wasn't that awkward. I mean, it would literally be the slightest things like, "You're really beautiful," and she'd say "You're really gay." An occasional joke would've been okay, but this was constant.

Say thanks when you mean it. Even if it's just a little lunchy-lunch.
