Oh and my husband is a practical joker. I'm not into practical jokes too much, but when the kids are around he finds a way to get them and they love it. Yeah, he's the guy who would saran wrap the toilet. LOL

Exactly my sentiments!!! He knows better not to mess with me.

One time he rubber banded the sprayer on the kitchen sink. My son usually did dishes so guess what happened when he turned on the water? They both laughed about that for at least an hour.

My wife has zero sense of humor.....she doesn't even laugh at funny or cute things the kids do. If I could do it all over again I would definately choose someone with a sense of humor. I am completely the opposite of her and it has affected our relationship over the years. I have no one to laugh with and I find myself sinking further into depression everyday. It's my own fault though because I married her. Compound that with the lack of sex and it is an empty life for me.

I'm sorry. I know that the feeling of your spouse not laughing with you and having fun with you sucks and makes you feel horrible. On days when I'm in a joking mood and happy and my H is not I get kind of depressed...

Both you and your wife sound miserable.

I'm sorry that your marriage is so sad.

Provided its PG Wodehouse or Victoria Wood, my wife says she has a great sense of humour. Anything else she just doesn't find funny. She does a Queen Victoria "we are not amused".

I am living with the same problem. My husband never smiles, never laughs about anything and the sex is completely gone from our 12 year marriage. Such a sad situation. I have to ask him to smile for pictures! We have nothing to talk about that means anything really anymore either. I am also dealing with depression because if this situation I am living with. Trying to figure out what to do.

Ha ha yep we are both always joking around.

Recent texts.

I sometimes have to start work early, 5:30 a.m. so get up at 4:30. So we normally send each other "morning" "love you" type texts when she wakes up.

One particular set of texts went;

Her] "Morning, love you just going to grab a shower."

Me] "Morning, love you too. Think of me when you wash your *****"

Her] "What? Minx (our cat) washes himself!"

It probably isn't that funny but it was so unexpected I burst out laughing in front of everyone at work.

Yes my H has a sense if humour. We both do and it's been a great healing tool after his A. I'm a bit more serious and hate being teased but him and the kids are Always goofing about and watching stupid stuff on you tube and tv.

If I'm in a mood he always knows how to cheer me up but sometimes it can be A little irritating.

RAndom Dude: I laughed out loud at your comment about your wife! Sorry!

my wife had a sense of humor in a satire way and i in a dark/racial ones (sadly that is the reason that we have a really good chance of pissing others un-intentionally)

Humors can reduce tensions in family. Even big controversies can be reduced by humors. It has a positive effect on people. If the partners have sense of humor, then most of the problems in their houses can be solved easily.
