Dh has an early start so he went to bed early, but he knows I need to listen to the radio to get to sleep. So my wireless headphones are charged and by the side of my bed. Win win.

Makes me a morning coffee everyday.
Warms the car up on cold mornings.
Enjoys gardening and grows lots of herbs for me as he knows I love them.
Talks to our dog like she's a little baby telling her how lovely she is.
Makes me laugh when he puts washing away as he jokes he's enjoyed a rummage in my knicker drawer.

Brings me tea in bed on the weekends. Buys me flowers to make me smile. Always makes me laugh. Runs me a hot bath.

@AndNoneForGretchenWieners that’s so heartbreaking, that last story.
Sounds like he was a thoroughly lovely man and your ds had had a great role model Flowers

He's amazing when I'm poorly. When I was pregnant I was really unwell and spent lots of time in hospital. He would work all day then drive 20 odd miles to the hospital and stay until he was kicked out. When I was really weak he would help me in and out of the bath and wash my hair for me. When I was recovering at home he even ate his meals in the car because food smells made me sick!

Now I'm crying!

Will always give me his last slice of pizza, chocolate, everything.

Tells me I'm beautiful when I'm minging with no make up in pajamas with ketchup stain on the front.

Looks after me when I'm sick.

Loves and smothers my dog (that he didn't want) with kisses and affection.

Makes me tea
Buys me treats

Lots of little things to protect me, such as if we go for a walk (rural so no pavements) he always walks so I’m nearest the grass verge and he’s nearest the passing cars, like I’m some unruly toddler (he know me well! Grin) It does make me chuckle because I’m actually a very independent sort who went travelling abroad for a year in my 20s. But it’s lovely.

@TheChosenTwo he was really special, just a wonderful human.

Makes me feel invincible.

Always makes me tea/coffee/a smoothie
Lets me sleep in and does chores while I do (not every time, but often)
Cooks a lot and makes sure I eat well
He leaves early for work while I'm WFH at the moment so I'm often just sleepily waking up as he is about to leave. Just before he leaves he always sits next to me and kisses me on the forehead and belly (I'm pregnant atm)
Always does the bins without moaning
Always holds my hand on walks
