What would be the one thing that you partner could do that would make you feel loved and appreciated the most?

[Inthetropics]

Something that he/he doesn't usually do.

*he/she

Give me a hug every once in a while

Learn how to cook and make a delicious dinner, without being asked to. How about you?

Send me flowers.

Play with the dc and give me a break from the incessant “muuum where’s the/look at/ what do you think of/wait til I tell you/I cut my/ can we/what’s for dinner”. It never even occurs to them to ask him any of this.

@Merename Compliment me more often.

I suppose something like "nice surprises" like flowers, jewellery, chocolate, just because.

Although as he gets up with the sprogs every morning leaving me in bed for another half hour which is frankly worth all the diamonds in the world, I'm not sure I want for anything else!!

I'm all about the big gestures. Cook an amazing meal, gifts, flowers, surprise holiday. It doesn't have to be expensive, I'd be happy with lentil soup, packet of jaffa cakes and camping at the bottom of the garden but it has to be something out of the ordinary.

Buy my birthday / Christmas presents without me having to make a wish list first.

My DH does this too, but I think only because I've been ill.

Complimenting me would be nice. Buying me chocolate.

@Inthetropics, have you asked him to? Ime, many men respond well to direct requests.

DH is clueless about food so it’s not a request I would make. But I find telling him clearly when I want him to do something works well, despite my inner wish that he could work it out/ mind read.

Put down his phone and give me his undivided attention
