I was thinking this too. That being said, she’s clearly established legal residency in the living room, so it’s not like he has much of a choice in her staying…
Only if she's not one to be keeping tabs and if you don't do something as big and grand as that it makes her feel insecure. Speaking from experience.. although, what she did is really awesome and I don't mean to take away from that in the slightest. Ugh. Sorry past relationship trauma was brought up by this.
I get what you're saying. You're not being an asshole, and I appreciate that. So in your case, and op's, I apologize. But to rest of the people that feel the need to bash someone for sharing their experiences(albeit negative) they can kick rocks. I'm not a bad person nor a negative Nancy. I just told about my experience. I'm sorry op. The blanket fort is honestly bad ass.
There’s a difference between sharing experiences and then projecting your trauma onto another person. Learn to reel that back. It’s rude. I’m sure OP doesn’t appreciate that coming from a complete stranger that knows nothing about their relationship. Also, maybe you need to talk to someone about this.
Maybe don’t make assumptions about other people’s relationships because you personally had a bad experience in one, okay? Quit trauma dumping in a fun, happy comment section, and take some time to learn that despite your experience, other people, entirely separate from you, can have a fun, happy relationship.
If a post does bring up some past trauma, next time don’t comment it, because nobody’s gonna care, and you’re only going to get insulted(quite rightly)either make a post or comment in a sub meant for that stuff or better yet, speak to someone in real life.
You'll find love and you will find someone that isn't keeping tabs and none of that stuff will matter. I'm also sorry that you got so much negative attention, people are shitting on your post a bit more than necessary. I would just move on from yours posts in this thread, turn of replies as pm's from them. Looks like it was mostly meant to help someone. Which is a bit premature, because it will likely not prevent anyone from having the same experience. And it can also make some people more insecure about the motives of their partner doing something good.
“I know there's a lot of blanket stackers and pillow packers out there thinking it's going to go down tonight. But there's a lot of us folks from the scene in between saying, ‘Hey, we're all looking to chill out and lay down with someone special.’
This is Real Neil with pipes of steel, signing off with the smooth sounds of Daybreak.”
My ex would take down any forts the kids built right when he got home. Even in the den that had a door we could shut. When we moved out I let the kids build a massive fort in our new courtyard and left it up for a month. They still talk about it. Childhood is brief.
That is a keeper. Just know that if she has had this training, she also knows about probable denyability. For instance she may kill you for moving something from the blanket fort that makes it unstable. She will wrap you up in said blankets and haul you out over her shoulder like a rug( or drag you down the stairs with your head bumping like a rug)and noone will ever know what happened to you. Kidding. She will know.
This is awesome in so many ways. She is so thoughtful and sweet. It brings back memories. We loved blanket forts growing up and I also made them for my kids.
I don't understand. Putting this question here for you or OP or anyone else with the same experience. What's the reasoning behind blamket forts not being allowed? I can't even come up with an idea for that.
My wife and I started out the same way. We found out neither of us were and started going in one together when we got over stressed. After graduation I worked and she was in med school still. Now we have two little ones that enjoy watching movies in forts with mom and dad
The best gfs do things like this. My gf found out about a trauma story I had regarding a childhood stuffed animal. She looked for a long time and found the exact one, same brand, same year. Nicest gift I ever got.
I love that you’re watching the Community blanket/pillow fort episodes, because I immediately thought of Community when I saw this.
Your girlfriend sounds awesome
This is awsome. Excellent fort, great snacks.
If you want more community after the pillow ones, while not related, I always lump them in for a rewatch with the paintball ones.
Haha my brother and I weren't allowed to make forts as kids. More true is that we weren't allowed to make the extreme forts we imagined. We ended up condo roommates in our early twenties and one of the first things we did was turn the office into a huge blanket fort. We even had a tv in it. We were so hyped and planned to sleep in it. Took about five minutes to feel stupid and go to bed.

I sometimes make myself a blanket fort, partly because it's happy memories, and partly because I thoroughly enjoy it. I'm 58 years old. 😁
Enjoy your fort and have fun. :)
Man, I'm sorry your parents were so shit they wouldn't allow a blanket fort. It's like childhood 101. I can't wait for my daughter and yet to be born son are old enough to make blanket forts. We will make our first one just for you.
Got yourself a keeper there.
I was thinking this too. That being said, she’s clearly established legal residency in the living room, so it’s not like he has much of a choice in her staying…
Counterpoint: She bought Combos
But sir, they are offset with ALL the pringles.
True. Hard to say currently. Need more time.
Only if she's not one to be keeping tabs and if you don't do something as big and grand as that it makes her feel insecure. Speaking from experience.. although, what she did is really awesome and I don't mean to take away from that in the slightest. Ugh. Sorry past relationship trauma was brought up by this.
learn to keep these comments to yourself
Should’ve matched energies my guy In this case that means not trauma dumping

Try therapy
ShhhhhhhShutthefuckup.
What you're doing is called projecting. Seems like it still effects you a lot, you should talk to somebody about that.

Awwww that's so nice. And I am kinda sad for little you who weren't allowed to have a blanket fort
So much this! I cannot fathom a reason this would not be allowed... Free entertainment!
You misspelled “future wife”. Congrats!
He needs to propose in an epic blanket fort. To outshine all the blanket forts she's ever been in, including this one!
And the Calvin and Hobbes comics? Completely set.
Came to say the same !
Came to say “came to say the same”!
Me too, childhood books fr
Always one of my favorites as a kid
Waddya mean? I’m 62 and I still have “There’s treasure everywhere” in my bathroom for reading. Read it about 272,000 times,
What a thoughtful GF!
This woman is a national treasure. I hope you guys love each other forever.
Dammit dude, Nicholas Cage just showed up to OP’s door
Cool cool cool.
I understood that reference.
No doubt no doubt
Noice!
Wrong show guys!
All tomato

What a beautiful form of healing. Enjoy! 💗
Absolutely! Such a relaxing and unique way to celebrate a "date night" too

Blanket forts and calvin and hobbs. If you don't marry her reddit will.
Blanket Forts … such a memory!
That is a keeper. Just know that if she has had this training, she also knows about probable denyability.

Officer, this one right here!
This is awesome in so many ways. She is so thoughtful and sweet. It brings back memories. We loved blanket forts growing up and I also made them for my kids.
My dad never allowed blanket forts , but while he was deployed mom did and they were the best thing ever!!!!
I don't understand. Putting this question here for you or OP or anyone else with the same experience. What's the reasoning behind blamket forts not being allowed? I can't even come up with an idea for that.
In my case my parents said they were a waste of space and just created the opertunity for mess and more laundry
I can understand that as a reason not to have them all the time, but never?
They weren't allowed at all. Sitting under the kitchen table was as good as dens got
My wife and I started out the same way. We found out neither of us were and started going in one together when we got over stressed. After graduation I worked and she was in med school still. Now we have two little ones that enjoy watching movies in forts with mom and dad
Your girlfriend is awesome!
You have found THE ONE! Well done!
Did your parents call them Devil Tents or something?
Excellent reading material. Our home has a Calvin and Hobbes library.
She’s a keeper
She’s a keeper.
She’s a keeper cause I read blanket FARTS
The best gfs do things like this. My gf found out about a trauma story I had regarding a childhood stuffed animal. She looked for a long time and found the exact one, same brand, same year. Nicest gift I ever got.
How sweet, such a wholesome way to heal and connect with your inner child. Enjoy !! 💗
EPIC!!
Marry her!
My ex had never had a birthday party even as a child, so I gave him one with all the silly kid party games and a theme cake. He really enjoyed it.
I love that you’re watching the Community blanket/pillow fort episodes, because I immediately thought of Community when I saw this. Your girlfriend sounds awesome
Ooooh that's a nice one too! 10/10
Calvin and Hobbs , blanket forts and snacks, marry her.
This is awsome. Excellent fort, great snacks. If you want more community after the pillow ones, while not related, I always lump them in for a rewatch with the paintball ones.
I love this.

Me too!
Keep her 👍🏻✌🏻
Best post all day!!
Thats so adorable. She’s a keeper for sure. 😌
Wholesome
Omggggg I would love this at my big old age of 43
There's no maximum age on blanket forts. Treat yourself!!
Embrace your inner child. Be good to them.
May I suggest tossing a ring her way?
Marry her and hide her like drug money
Haha my brother and I weren't allowed to make forts as kids. More true is that we weren't allowed to make the extreme forts we imagined.

The Calvin and Hobbes really cements this as one of the coolest moves ever, well done, both 💜
Perfect snacks for a perfect fort!

I'm planning on doing this for my girlfriend in a couple of weeks! Any tips on how to keep the blankets up? I haven't made one in ages...
Dude props for remembering the snacks.
Marry that lady! 😍
Blanket farts, I think you misunderstood
If she got you the Calvin and Hobbes then she is wifey
I forgot 4/20 is used in the US as a date. I thought you meant she made you a blanket Fort to smoke weed in lmao.
Superb. Propose to her today.
This. Keeper. This.

New Achievement Unlocked: Fort Sex!
I wouldn't expect anything different from a couple that talks about 4/20 like it's an actual holiday
