What's the nicest thing your DH has ever said to you that wasn't romantic

[boddtm]

DH pottering around the house this PM
"I was just upstairs and the kids were in their rooms with the doors open and I could see them just being happy in their rooms. I'm happy - we have a good life"
Was ridiculously happy about this- it wasn't at all romantic but has made the crap we've been through together - and there's been a lot- all melt away.

About our DS who is severely autistic ,DH isn't religious whereas i do believe in god,he said to our sons paediatrician 'I think God gave him to us because he knew what a good job she'd do'

DH said that I'd done a brilliant job raising our DDs.
Even though they were still little (youngest was around 5), it really meant a lot because due to running his business, he just hadn't been around. It was pretty tough for him, but he appreciates that time was hard work on me too.

My husband turned to me and said if we ever had a zombie apocalypse I know you'd have my back and we'd see them off!

He also said quite matter of factly that I'd saved him because I was normal! He had a tough upbringing and was very mixed up.

'You have to make this again and feed it to me 'til I burst'.

It was the first time I ever cooked for him. He was so happy (his ex couldn't cook), and so was I because my ex was a very fussy eater who hated everything I made.

It was meatballs. I still make them for him now. He licks his bowl clean every time. Daft, but 🥰

"I've bought life insurance." A few hours after I told him I was pregnant with dc1.

He's about as romantic as a brick, is my dh, but as solidly dependable as one, too.

My DH is not remotely effusive or demonstrative and rubbish at presents, cards and occasions. (His actions always show his love though.)

However, after I'd given birth to our 3rd, he texted me from home and said, 'I was in awe of you today' and it made me feel like I'd won the lottery

Are there actually men like this in the world?! Wow u guys are all so lucky

Unfortunately exh fitted into the worst things someone could say about you category

Not my DH (although he's done things like finish the ironing, knowing when I need a cuppa) but my dear departed DF. Before I was born he said to my DM 'If it's a girl, I'll bring you tea in bed every morning.'

He kept his promise, to the day he was taken into hospital.

My DP said ages ago that I make him feel better about himself without even trying, just by being me.

I assume he must feel loved and secure, so that was nice.

Holding DD, when she was all of 2 minutes old, DH burst into tears (and he never, ever cries) leaned over me so he could put her face against mine and whispered 'Thank you'.

Every single morning he makes me fresh coffee, and has it timed to perfection. He knows to start making it when he hears my hair dryer stop, so that as I walk into the kitchen he immediately hands me my coffee and says 'Coffee, Beautiful'

Dh isn't romantic at all but I remember when we were in Asda when ds was a baby and you could enter your partner into a Mothers Day prize draw but you had to write something nice about them.Dh said to the woman "cant I just put that shes great?" It seems daft written down but it meant a lot

I've got something in my eye!

More please!

Your really patient with the DC.
Sounds simple but we going a rough patch with DS2.

On the day I was diagnosed with breast cancer DH said, 'I want us to grow old together'.

Yesterday I woke up to coffee and a banana on the bedside table next to me. That means DH knows I need to go for a run. I had a tough week last week and was feeling stressed and lazy, but DH was listening to no excuses. He just said,
‘All you have to do today is run, then spend the rest of the day resting.’

Once I got out in the fresh air, I knew he was dead right. A run was exactly what I needed, and I felt so much better afterwards.

He always seems to know exactly what I need, usually before I do.

Keep them coming, these are so lovely!

These are cheering me up tonight

Aren't we lucky?

"Do you want a cup of tea?".... Said several times a day

This thread makes me cry.
No one has ever said or done such lovely things to me

You’re all so lucky

"Do you want the skin from my kfc?"

He says lots of other lovely things too... but, kfc!

“And this is why I wanted a family so badly with you, you are such a fantastic mother and I can’t wait to be able to call you my wife”.

This thread is beautiful 💜

Dh and I have had a really rough year, going through 2 missed miscarriages (the most recent last week) and I now have ongoing fertility challenges that need sorting before we can continue ttc. Dh said to me whilst giving me a big hug 'we will get through this together, we will be OK'. I am very lucky :)
