Me? Well I broke my wrist once, and gave myself concussion another time.
Partner? Well I had one guy bust his lip on a headboard, and one guy pull a groin muscle.
Property? Broke a fan, box fan not ceiling; broke a bed, a lawn chair, and a curtain rod.
~~River: Bible's broken. Contradictions, false logics. Doesn't make sense.~~
Holy crap! See, this is why my LoveSac is my favorite thing in the world; no headboard to be injured on, nothing to break.
Injuries? Nothing serious. Bumped my head a few times on the car roof; the light up there really hurts like a bitch. I didn't really pull a muscle, but I did something to it. Hurting for a few days, then I was fine. Once had a guy bite me so hard he left a major bruise that didn't go away for weeks. It didn't even feel good while he was doing it. Blech. We didn't last. Knocked a few things over, but nothing has broken except a candle.
Sorry if it was implied you were a pushover, by the way. Just seems like you have to really get in these people's faces about it. If they say they're just looking out for you or whatever, tell them you don't want them to, or that it's none of their business, or that you're a grown woman and can damn well make your own choices. Tell them you use protection or whatever you need to tell them to make them clam up. They have no right to treat you like a child.

Tristan, it sounds like you need a big open room with lots of padding.
I can't say that I've had to many injuries. The typical bruises and carpet burns, that's all. Don't take that as being boring, I guess I'm just extra careful.
Simon: What if he(Mal) tells you to kill me?
Zoe: (without hesitation) I kill you.

Lysander! Welcome back! Missed seeing you around!
Padded room...never thought of that! 
I have learned since then to be more careful...I do not heal as well as when I was younger. I still have fun, though.
Doesn't sound boring at all...seems like a few of us could learn something from you!

Okay, a little help please. I know this is moving away from all the great discussion that has been going on but I have a question. My wife is going to Atlanta for the week and I need help finding stuff to do. We don't spend a lot of time apart so it's really boring. Any suggestions?
Simon: What if he(Mal) tells you to kill me?
Zoe: (without hesitation) I kill you.

Everyone already had the mastrubation discussion this morning. 
Personally, I'd call her in the evening for some loving, yet naughty talk. Wow, looks like my mind found one track this morning. Time to de-rail this slow and lumering mind. ALL ABOARD!
Jayne: I was gonna get me an ear too.

I'd recommend sending at least one text message saying how much you miss her and what you intend to do when she gets home.
Anticipation is such a wonderful thing!

lysander- GO OUT!
Go to a coffee-shop and get a mocha and read a good book while people watching.
Take yourself to a movie- something she would never want to watch with you.
Come join us in the "Life Onboard Serenity" thread, and create a character to have fun with.
Make a list of all the foods you love and she doesn't like, then eat your way through the list.
Life shouldn't be about "My partner is gone! I have no life". It should be about, "My partner is gone. How can I fulfill myself without them?"

Oh, the suffering, the sweet,sweet suffering.
War injuries:
I've sustained a few in my time. Nothing breaks up a romp like the near concussion of a headbump. Cracked a filling on one once and ended up with a black eye from another. I'm positive that all of my degenerative knee problems can be attributed back to the transmission hump in the backseat of the '86 Nissan I drove in high school.
Evidently, I scar easily. I have various scars from various people on my assorted parts. I never intended for them to happen but now that I'm starting to think back, maybe I should see about some safety equipment. I once sliced open my arm on a bed rail, not too deep, but the sheets looked like I had slaughtered a goat. Other than that just the usual amount of sprains, friction burns, and scratches.
Property-wise, I've been pretty responsible.
Just the odd lamp or oscilating fan has met with my wrath. Partner-wise just bumps and bruises. I seem to alway bear the brunt of the misadventures.
A padded room sounds like a safe change of pace. Wonder how much it costs to rent on of those inflatable moonwalk things at the carnival?

Shepard2Be, those inflatible things are NOT the way to go...it seems like a good idea at the time, but the bounciness-factor creates some really interesting flailings. Stick with a waterbed that has padded sides...
Lysander,
I agree. Take yourself to a movie, enjoy a nice dinner, and then either call or text her to tell her you love her. Being away from the significant other can be cathartic...also makes the reunion even better!

I don't know if you would want any of these, but its pretty much what I would love to say to my biddy aunts.
When are you getting married? oh, after we've paid for your care home, of course if we cut back on that expense, maybe we could bring it forward....
Do you sleep in the same room? who said anything about sleeping? He goes like the energiser bunny *nudge wink wink* know what I mean?
You should stay at home let him work. Yes but then we'd really have to cut back on your care... would you be willing to bunk?
Do you have sex? oh hell, lots of it! With so many people - big hairy bikers are the best, you should give them a try!
You should return your dog, they aren’t good for children. yES, I heard that... 'parently children ain't that good for dogs either, gives them terrible indigestion, to fatty. (or the serious answer - actually fyi, its been proven that exposure to animals for a young age not only boosts the immune systems development, but increses the childs confidence social skills and sense of responsibility and general well being)
They are not telling you the truth, they are giving you an opinion, and if they can't see that their attitudes are making you unhappy then they really need to rethink their idea of what is best for you.
next time they start just cut them off with 'I am an adult and I will do what I feel is best for me and my partner, so with all due respect i don't want to talk about it.'
i did that with my gran and if she starts up i very pointedly change the subject or simply repeat the i'm not going to discuss it bit.
She's getting the idea.
Aunts, they're like dogs - to train them you need a firm voice, repetition and consistancy.
