Do they put you first sometimes ? Silly stuff like, letting you choose the movie or takeaway.

Do they buy you stuff they know you'd like ? Do they surprise you sometimes ?

Do they take care of you and check up on you when you're not feeling well?

Do they give you a break from things when they see you're stressed out ?

Do they take the baby / toddler / child off you, even when they're tired- because they can see you struggling ?

Do they sometimes make plans / suggestions of fun things to do together or with your kids as a family ?

Are they just nice to be around? Or do they moap around grumpy a lot ?

Do they do their share of the housework and cooking / laundry etc ?

How do you know they love you ? What do they do to show it? Apart from being there ?

He listens. He still makes me laugh after 30 years. He gives me space when I need it. But above all, he just genuinely likes me as me. He makes me feel 'enough'.
I wouldn't swap him for the world. Best thing I ever did was stick with the man I met at 18.

Not a husband and we don't live together, but he carries packets of salt in his wallet so I'll have some if there's none in a cafe. He also makes little notes on his phone of things I mention I like, or my shade of lipstick and it turns up at Xmas. If we're going to bed to sleep he'll get in first and warm up my side.

At the moment. Nothing! In fact the opposite. Sorry. I’m going now because I imagine all the replies are going to be really depressing for me! 😂
