Little things about your OH that still make you go “Aww”

[MrsGrindah]

Been with DH 22 years but sometimes things still make me go “ aww”

He makes sure we buy fresh flowers every week cos he knows I love them and gently tells me off if I don’t cos I feel guilty
Does anything I ask for my family even though they are tricky
Desperately seeks the approval of his own parents..I see the little by he once was and my heart hurts a bit
Can’t go to sleep without touching me “ so I know you are there” .Took me years to twig that one!

What are your aww moments?

Aw mine does a lot for me. He cooks, does shopping, brings me cup of tea in bed, despite being a key worker & having a stressful job, he does so much for me.

It’s so nice having the ordinary stuff done for you isn’t it?

Hmmm ... after 32 years of marriage I am not too sure , but we both agreed tonight that the only subject we have never argued about is money ... I read countless threads on here about how couples don't share their incomes and I am grateful that this has never been an issue for us. I think it's a really positive aspect of a relationship to have the same approach to money.

@MrsGrindah you've just described my DH

@nancybotwinbloom I wondered where he goes on Thursday nights!

He will randomly get up and make me a cup of tea even though he doesn't want anything.

Don't, pre lock down Thursday was our date night!!

Makes me a coffee and brings it to me in bed on all my days off.

Bastard

22 years here too

He puts up with all my shite and never makes me feel bad about myself. Cooks and does my washing and still makes me laugh.

But my most aw thing is I know when he’s had a bad dream cos the little paw comes over and pulls me into him even though the man has a metabolism that makes him burn like a furnace.

My lovely late DH used to melt my heart regularly just by being him too. Silly things like buying me a book or bag of sweets just because he saw them and thought of me, or meeting me at lunchtime and going to a local park for an al fresco lunch (or even sitting in the car on a rainy day). Often we would wake up holding hands even if we had been facing opposite directions when falling asleep. He was so lovely.

He overcame a huge traumatic event in his younger days and by rights he should not have turned out to be the kind, funny, loving, respectable man and father he is today and I really admire that. A lot of people would be shocked to know what went on in his young life and when I'm lying next to him at night I just hold him close and I'm overwhelmed with love for him.

@AndNoneForGretchenWieners He sounds like a diamond

Dh de-ices my car for me. He's WFH so doesn't even need to do his.

Together 16 years, married for 8.

In a newish relationship after my 15 Yr relationship/marriage went kaput. He heard me 'awwwing' at this thread so I sent him the link.

Just got this is response:
"☺️ I hope it’s you in 21 years, I’ll do everything I can to make sure it is"

Thank you all for sharing a bit of mush this evening

I'm a FTM and he constantly checks in with me and asks if I'm ok. A simple question, when the 'asker' is eager to know the truth, can mean an awful lot.

Mine puts my petrol in for me . Apart from that he does nothing nice,

My DH will make me laugh when I’m a raging hormonal bitch to him. It literally melts away PMT 😂

Cuddles and now he loves holding my hand to sleep or me cuddles he just feels more secure he has my issues,

A delivery came in a huge box. When I got home from work DH had come back on his lunch break and made the box into a little house for DD complete with drawn on windows and doors, flower boxes under the windows and flowering vines climbing the outer walls. The most adorable thing ever! She was so excited and has been playing in it for days and we’re going to paint the outside too.
I just thought it was the most thoughtful thing ever. He’s such a sweetheart.

@QuacksInTheDark Oh that’s lovely! The sort of thing my late Dad would have done for me.

Every night before bed he puts the toothpaste on my toothbrush for me before I go into the bathroom. He puts a blanket over me if I fall asleep on the sofa. He also wakes me up in the night if he can tell I'm having a nightmare.

Brings me tea in bed every morning...still doing it 34 years on!

Scrapes ice off my car windscreen while I’m getting ready for work. Once he did it in a heart shape. Married 25 years.

So we've been married 18 years. Bit of background I like a bargain and freebies my DH is the complete opposite.
My aww moment was when we went for a walk along a country lane. I saw tonnes of blackberries and was eyeing them up but didn't want to say anything. DH saw my face, pulled out a tub and started picking them. Poor man had thorns scratching his arms and poking his stomach. He said he knew I'd love that route for the freebies.
Every now and then he'll order something that I've mentioned in conversation, normally me saying when I get paid next month I'm going to buy blah blah and few days later it turns up. My heart melts a little when I watch him teach the kids (teenagers) he has so much time for them...awww
