My MIL thought that the Wife was acting so "juvenile" and "silly". And that those were the actions of some high school girl. Not of a woman of 50+ years.
I mentioned that I thought it was romantic. She 'poo-pooed' that notion like I was nuts. Now, call me sentimental, but I think it's sweet. I've done that very thing - snuggle with Hubby's pillow when he's away.
I think it's great that at their age (she's 50+ and he's 60+) there is still romance in the neighbor's marriage. And I feel bad for my MIL because she is missing out on so much - cuddling on the couch, the thrill you get in your heart when your Sweetheart looks at you across a room or just simply the joy of holding hands. (And yes, my MIL has a significant other in her Life)
Life without romance is like eating 'Smores without the toasted marshmallow. It may be good but it isn't all warm and mushy.
I like warm and mushy.

Bravo, and three cheers for everyone who can be heartfelt and enthusiastically romantic no matter the age!!
Some people are just plain mushless.
Aw, that's the sweetest thing I've heard in a while! I do the same thing when my hubby is away and hope to still be doing it at 50+. Life's less fun without some mush. :)
I am 50+ and my hubby 60+ and I still slip notes into his lunch bag and he still brings me pink roses. I still snuggle his pillow and he snuggles mine and I don't plan to ever stop. Hooray for mushyness!!!
Hugs and sparkles

I stretch out in the bed and watch whatever the hell I want on t.v. without arguing over Deadliest Catch or some stupid cop show. Hmmmm, hugging a pillow? The only thing I do with my husband's pillow is put it over his face when he pisses me off. Seriously...I really do love the shit out of that man. I just don't have a mushy bone in my body.
Dark Mother, You crack me up!! And thank you for reminding me that we all have our own way of loving someone. :0)
Scent is so important to me and if I had a s.o. I'd do the same with a pillow and a shirt my beloved wore if he was gone. I guess there are those who are more practical in the world and those who are true romantics and sensualists at heart...Here's to love in all it's forms!
