Massages! Neck, back, and feet mostly. Let him watch his sports games and drink a beer.


either sit at home and watch tv with wife only or hang out a pub with friends .., sit at home and watch tv with a nice running hukka ..


Listen to Mozart. I give him a massage ;)


Sit in the backyard and have a drink. For her to rub feet or back.


listen to mellow music, set a relaxing environment and receive a body massage :)


I watch sports events, mostly the Bears and Cubs...my wife likes massages of any kind.


I like to go for walks or even better running.


I usually sit down with a beer and a blunt and watch something (tv, or my gf cooking or giving any number of my body areas a thorough massage, esp my back and shoulders--I carry a lot of tension there). She likes me to play with her hair, it puts her right to sleep.
i start with a bowl and few moments of getting that buzzy, relaxed, weed-brain feeling. Cooking does relax me because it is the only thing i have to focus on and that relieves all my tension. i try to help my partner relax by giving him a massage and having speaking softly about things that aren't important at all :)

Sleep or watch tv. Letting him SLeep would be a good help.


I watch movies, and sleep. I can help my partner relax by making him mush, macaroni and cheese, and/or tea.


work outside with the dogs...give her a backrub


Watch TV. Watch TV with me.


watch TV or sit in silence. He likes to cuddle


I don't do anything lol. I've so rarely been relaxed. For her, I think she's relaxed when she's trying to sleep, so just holding her as she sleeps is what I do.


Alone time. Make free time for her
