To tell you how I feel grateful today for my husband

I'm not gloating, he's not perfect and we have our bickers, he can be lazy and has the memory of a toffee apple. But I was just sitting here thinking he's a good egg and it's nice to share that feeling.

This weekend he tidied the house yesterday morning and told me to have a lie in because I had a bad headache Today he done 2 loads of washing went and done the shopping, picked up my prescription, brought me home my favourite food magazine and some of my favourite biscuits. He then cooked a lovely full roast dinner and done all the washing up afterwards. We don't have children so he could have just done the minimum and enjoyed some free time. He's just asked if I'm feeling better would I like to sit together and enjoy a film.

Oh and he didn't kill me for buying some ludicrously expensive chocolate on Friday 🤣 hope you are all having a lovely Sunday either enjoying your own company or with friends and family.

All those things you listed wouldn’t be noteworthy unless he hardly ever does them, meaning someone else does. I’m guessing that’s you. The other things like asking if you’re feeling better or want to watch a film are normal every day interactions. Sorry. If you’re happy though then that’s good.

I agree with this tbh. But I don't have a husband so what do I know?!

That’s lovely OP. Nice to hear for a change.

Mine has made a fried breakfast for everyone, plumbed in a radiator, been food shopping, taken the youngest to his football match in the rain, ran the line, ordered a load of electrical stuff from Amazon as we are doing a load of major DIY and just made dinner.
Washed & dried the school uniforms and work stuff.

I’ve got a banging headache and other than chucked a ham into some coke in the slow cooker have languished on the sofa all day.

Sounds like you have a very caring DH there. Great to look after each other if you’re not feeling great. Good to hear of a strong partnership.
My DH is my rock and we have been through some truly horrendous family times.

Sitting next to my lovely husband right now. We went to a protest together yesterday, now lunch at a cafe and park, later we will go home and he will do the laundry.

well that would have made him a bit of a dick given you had a bad headache
