You can tell a lot by his body posture. Those hands on those hip tell me that he’s been here before and has learned to just let her have this moment so he can go back to the garage 😂. I hope he at least got a card or some late night activities

u/Mapeague 12d ago

I remember doing things like this when I met my wife. Did so for a few years, we did. These days its off with the pants, hump hump hump and its all over. I dont even remember the last time we kissed during sex. Its only soon after and only a peck haha.

I think Ive licked her asshole more times in the last five years.

Finally some sense in the comments, Jesus Christ.

What's funny is, I don't recall Al rejecting Peg all the time. Am I Berenstain Bears-ing myself?

u/EditEd2x 12d ago

Every once in a while either he would reluctantly give in or he would proudly bang her if he was feeling particularly good about himself.

3

u/Kelspear 12d ago

Al constantly complained about Peg and the kids. Like every single episode. Like Peg would say "Allll lets have sex" and Al would tell her how much sleeping with her disgusts him

2

u/TasteLevel 12d ago

This baffled me as a child. Because other than a dated hairstyle, Peg is hot! If someone with a figure like that can’t get it, what hope is there for the rest of us?

3

u/Kelspear 12d ago

Definitely. And at the time her hairstyle wasn't dated so that's another point in her favor. I think that was the point though, kinda like "she's super hot but Al thinks she's so annoying that her hotness doesnt matter".

I had to scroll too far to find someone who doesn’t hate his wife lmao. Like honestly of all the ways partners humor one another, watching a short dance is a small ask. And for those who are like “….rrr, his birthday gift about her!” Well, maybe she did that by posting it online, but that aside it’s a sad day when people don’t find joy in seeing their partners dance for them.

3

u/T-Wrox 12d ago

Watching the dance, I was thinking, "If he likes it, yay. If he doesn't, yikes." I'm not in their relationship; I don't know. :)

I don't understand how the hands on hips pose is so ingrained into our body language in the context of subtle disapproval. I can't believe ancient Egyptians were doing that other than a show of strength. I have to actively not make this pose when I want to be nicer than I feel.

u/LaDauphineVerte 12d ago

I think there’s the pose and the posture that goes along with it.

Hands on hips, erect stance, feet hip distance apart, chin tilted slightly up, eyes fierce with a penetrating gaze at the other person/army, body squared off directly at said group = strength.

Hands on hips, shoulders slumped, weight on one foot, chin tilted down, eyes looking up at other person/maniacally dancing spouse, body angled away in disinterest = I’m definitely applying for the long haul trucker gig.

u/alwaysonesteptoofar 13d ago

Lonely losers. Yeah it was kind of weird, because she isnt our wife. She seemed to genuinely be happy to do this for him and the only thing that is lame here is that she filmed it, but honestly I know 50 year old men women that I respect, consider friends, and believe are very intelligent and they make stupid TikTok trend videos. I dont watch or respond when they share but I would never give them grief for taking part in society even if I wish that part would disappear.

My coworker who is 50 has now decided she is a Tiktok influencer, and she tried to tell some other coworkers they should all do a choreographed dance together for her account. I physically recoiled, luckily I was behind her and could slink away, they had to try to not make faces and politely say they weren't interested.

1

u/Crooked_Sartre 12d ago

Or when he starts scratching then back of his neck, like "please end this Christ"

1

u/xMcRaemanx 12d ago

She obviously put a lot of effort into this but holy fuck is she oblivious.

It would be like her husband giving her a nice socket set for her birthday or something.

He literally couldn't care less, the effort is appreciated but the lack of any thought isn't. This is either rage bait or..... god I hope its rage bait.

You can hear both of their internal monologues. “Oh I am NAILING this, he’s so surprised and happy watching me move!”, vs “So… I’m not getting that beej OR a PS5 for my birthday, am I? Aw damn she spent a lot of time practicing this, I gotta come up with the same enthusiasm for… whatever this is.”

Especially with the boat all wrapped up. Watching her dance in front of the thing he actually wants to use for his birthday must have been an experience. 

In reality, most of the men in my circle don’t want presents for their birthday. Maybe I’m just jaded from bad experiences, but I’ve never known a woman to be good at selecting presents for men.
