30 some years ago husband said, you don’t love me, you’re just comfortable. I said, what’s wrong with comfortable. Last week was 50th anniversary. I am no longer comfortable, but still here.
That would not be a good answer for my second wife. If I had said, “Same here.” she would have been pleased.
If I had said “That goes double for me.” I would have had a day of querrelous interrogation about whether I was thought she was looking twice as old and shoe-ier than I. :(
My wife has never had comfortable shoes in her life. Her feet are different sizes and one is double wide. Even if they feel OK at the store they won’t after 20 minutes.

My wife tells me my old shirts have holes. I told her that’s because they’re old and comfortable.

Sorry, I don’t understand what other interpretation you could put on “You’re as comfortable as a pair of old shoes?” It IS a compliment!

In the closing words of John Wayne in the movie Rio Lobo “Just don’t call me comfortable.”

I always took it as a compliment when my late husband used to say that I was like his old moccassins.

The simple things of life, like the warm embrace of my wife’s hug, means so much to me.
