Nice things you and your DP do for each other

[Butterflyone1]

I thought it would be nice to hear some of the nice things you do for your DP or they do for you.

My DP buys me flowers (lillies my fav) usually every couple of weeks. He also does most of the cooking which I really appreciate.

I earn more money than him so I like to buy his DC clothes and he really appreciates this.

We also do little things like wrote notes/cards to each other and hide them to be found at a later date. He eats hard boiled eggs for breakfast and I once wrote I love you on his eggs (on the shell) which he thought was sweet.

I thought ti would be nice to share some love and maybe some ideas.

DH brings me coffee every single morning at 6.30 as he leaves for work. And in the winter he’ll de ice my car on his way out.

I make his sandwiches for work and feign interest in his various hobbies when he wants to talk about them at length.

He works 8 hours a day 7 days a week in a tough job to allow me to stay at home. He also cooks dinner and does the washing up most days.
If I know he's looking forward to a new game coming out or something similar I put money back every month so I can surprise him with it. I also let him get his favourite takeaways every 1-2 weeks if we can afford it despite me hating every takeaway he suggests
I also make a point of every day telling him how much I appreciate him, and everything he does for me, and how i support him if he needs to make changes (he's considering leaving one of his jobs and upping his hours at the other one so he gets a day off but is worried about the financial side of it).

My DH gives me back rubs and brings me home a bounty from his work chocolate stash ... he knows the way to my heart.

I make my DH his packed lunch and usually hide a special treat in there for him.

We run each other a bath when we know the other one is in need of a soak.

He brings me a coffee every morning.

We buy each other our favourite sweets/treats if we pop into town - our parting shot to each other is "bring me back a present!"

He doesn't like to spend money on himself, so every so often I get him something really fab for his birthday or Christmas.

I love the bones of the man. Making him smile makes me happy.

He’s started turning back the duvet for me at night.
He de-ices my car for me in the winter when he goes to work.
He cooks every weekend - breakfast, lunch & dinner.
He buys me gin.

Dh:
Works really hard so I can look after our dcs. I'm carer to one.
He cleans the toilets and the fridge because I can't deal with them.
He loves me.
Goes downstairs when his restless legs fidgeting keeps me awake.

Me:
Do the dcs and the house so he can work away from home or leave early etc if he has to.
Listen when he talks about football.
Cook dinners he likes.
Support his interests, which I don't understand.
Make him feel good about himself.

He brings me breakfast in bed and doesn't try to make me talk every morning!! How did I forget that!
He accepts me (most of the time)!

I’m not working at the moment and haven’t for a couple of years and we are reliant on his salary but I never do without. Clothes, make up, hairdressers, and my hobby is quite expensive.

He makes me lunch when he works from home even if it’s a faffy salad.

Each night when I’ve put the kids to bed he makes me a cup of tea.

He does breakfast on the weekends.

I make him a cuppa every morning.

I clean his office when I do the whole house even though it’s only really him who uses that room.

He does me a hot water bottle when I’ve got bad periods.

I feel like I should do more nice things for him! But with two young children it’s difficult to think of another person and do nice things. That sounds awful. The only thing he would really like more of is sex I think.

I cook dinner every night and do the school run each day, I keep the house clean and the washing on it’s merry go round. I don’t grumble when he wants to go out for a run or bike ride. I think we sort of just tick along but we are content.

Having thought about all the nice things he does for me I think I need to do a bit more for him!

He buys me my favourite flowers now and again as a surprise.
He tells me I’m beautiful every day.
I give him a head rub every evening in bed when we’re watching TV.
I cook him dinner every day.
He always lets me choose what we watch on TV or at the cinema.
His passion is gardening (which I have no interest in) but I help him out with it every Sunday.
We are very tactile together and always complimenting one another.

We do the 'bring me back a present' thing too! Can be anything from a bar of chocolate to a garden gnome!

We make each other mugs of tea, he makes me a hot water bottle in winter, and we split up the chores. Him, the bins and anything to do with the car, me the laundry and dusting.

He fills the car up for me every Sunday, he always has,makes me smile every time I get in the car. He always brings me a cuppa in bed at the weekend.

I do far too many nice things for him to list

He strimmed my allotment when I was away for a week for work in prime grass season. Abd picked me up from the station with a bottle of champagne and drove me straight there so I could check on everything.

He gets awful hayfever so this was especially lively.

I love these!! It honestly is the simple things that make us the happiest.

@1wokeuplikethis the sex thing is a difficult one. I know my DP would love it more but we have sex 80% of the times we see each other (we don't live together). I usually find even if I'm not in the mood to begin with, it's always really good. They secretly crave affection I think, its not just about the act.

he makes me coffee every morning, de-ices my car in the winter & is always there for me

I let him play xbox as often as he wants to, cook dinner daily & wash his unmentionables

oh my gosh - just realised how that reads. my umentionables I do mean pants

DH prepares me a flask to drink on my way to work, timing it to be at exactly the right temperature for me to drink.

And listens to me talk endlessly without interrupting until I have worked out things for myself

Can't think of anything I do for him but let's hope there are some things ...

He works full time so I can be part time while DS is little. DS isn’t his child and has taken him on warts and all.
He makes DS laugh and he is dp’s Shadow at the weekend.
He will go out in the rain to the corner shop to get me chocolate
He gets up early on a Saturday so I can have an extra hour in bed.
He makes sure I’m satisfied sexually.

I cook his favourite teas most weeks. Luckily he’s easily pleased.
I give him back rubs.

I get up early on Sundays so he can have a lie in.
I don’t mind him watching as much sport as he wants.

We offer each other about 20 billion cups of tea a day.

I love him so fucking much.

My bf gets up for work super early every day, when I get up a few hours later he has always prepared my morning cuppa so all I need to do is boil the kettle. Every morning without fail, and still makes me smile.

We have a gif that we both send each other that is "ours" and it means that we're missing each other. Even when we're busy we can send the wee gif and sometimes that's all that's needed.

I suppose Dh does a lot more specifically for me than I do for him, but I make his life much easier by doing majority of housework/admin/childcare.

He buys me books and a chocolate orange when he goes to the shops. He looks at me exactly the same way now as he did when we were much younger. He listens to me rant about my mum and my sister but he doesn't speak badly about them to me. He calls into my parents to fix bits and pieces, mainly when they've done something silly with the Internet. He knows I'm not one for making a big deal about celebrating my birthday/ opening presents publically etc so he sort of manages to distract people when I'm presented with a surprise type thing.

I make him his work lunch even though he's more than capable because I do it better. I see his parents independently and pick stuff up for his mum just because. I make a fuss at his birthday because he likes it. I cook his favourite things the odd time even though I can't stand the smell of them.
