What Was The Last Romantic Thing Your DH/DP did?

[SunshineLollipopsAndRainbows]

DH isn’t the most romantic but he surprised me the other day - he’s got Thursday & Friday off & suggested going for a picnic on the cliffs near to the hotel where we got married. The weather is lovely here so hopefully it will last ☀️😎☀️😎

Oh that’s lovely ☺️

DH (“and 2 year old DD”) randomly brought me back some flowers from the supermarket when they went earlier this week, which was lovely. I had DS 11 days ago and DH has been amazing - doing everything without me needing to ask, cleaning the house from top to bottom, putting up with my random postnatal mood swings. I couldn’t ask for him to do more, tbh - that’s my kind of romance. :-)

Lovely! A few years ago dh bought me Giorgio Locatelli's new cookbook (which he knew I wanted) and went into Locatelli's restaurant and asked him to sign it for me. Can't think of anything since though!

Phoned me to tell me there was a new donut shop open in our local shopping centre and did I want one. He knows I bloody love donuts.
Lets me sleep in on a weekend and gets up with DS because he knows how much I love a lie in

Bf does a few things but the one that sticks out to me is last year I was so excited for us to all go and see a firework show at local park. We got there and dd fell asleep so we couldn’t go in and I was gutted, always missed out on them as a child and was super excited to go. He pulled over on way home and bought an expensive box of fireworks from a shop and took us to the park behind our house and lit them for us. We had a little show ourselves. It was mega sweet and Il never forget it

Anyone else?

Years ago, I mentioned to DH that I lost my favourite book as a child. He worked out (correctly) exactly which edition it would have been (so that the cover was the same), and tracked that edition down from an online secondhand bookshop, then gave it to me for my birthday.

Gave me the last piece of Toblerone.

Probably not that romantic. I'd had a rubbish day last week, cold and wet.called home to let him know I was on my way back and had a bit of a grumble. When I got in he'd run a bath for me with a glass of wine and my book and chocolate. Let me soak and put my cosy pj's on the warm radiator to heat. Went through and dinner was ready. We had dinner and sat having a cuddle on the sofa watching a movie.

Not traditionally romantic, but a sweet gesture - my boyfriend picked up a load of cod liver oil tablets for my Nan, because I had mentioned in passing she had asked me to get her some, and he saw them in Costco. My heart melted 🥰

He has just booked us (and did all the organization) a trip, and made sure it includes all the little things he knows I like.

I was out last night.
I came home drunk and was sick 😀
DH got up and brought me a glass of water and a bobble for my hair as I sat on the bathroom floor hugging the cistern.
This morning he brought me tea n toast in bed and took dd out.

I've had a really bad headache. Was curled up dozing on the sofa. DH disappeared upstairs then came downstairs, he's changed all the bedding so that I can go and lie in bed in fresh bedding (which he knows I like) to get well. It's the small things like that that mean the most to me 🥰

We're sitting on the sofa on our phones right now and he's rubbing the back of my neck. I'm feeling a bit sorry for myself and it's just lovely to be petted.
He's also ordered Chinese for dinner, but I'm not sure that's entirely altruistic!

Mine is going to sound weird. My DH is not the romantic type at all, but shows his love in practical ways. I am currently 33 weeks pregnant with our first child and we don't have a dining room table yet (we are about to move house and will buy one), so we eat on the sofa and pull the coffee table close. I am struggling with eating while slumped over the coffee table. It hurts and is super uncomfortable. The other day I had finished cooking dinner and he said I should stand at the kitchen counter to eat, so I don't get uncomfortable. Then he grabbed his plate and stood next to me. He ate his dinner with me, stood at the kitchen counter and kept rubbing my back between bites. It totally warmed my heart. That's his way of showing he loves me 😍

I think he bought me a bunch of flowers a year or two ago. He was very proud of himself.

That’s it, really. Mostly he works or sleeps. No kisses or sex unless I initiate, am bloody dying for a hug. Conversation is mostly rants about his job or the news.

Meh.

My partner got me flowers from Aldi when he and our toddler went shopping earlier. They're lovely and just the colours I like (white and pink)

I'm currently 33 weeks pregnant and he is just being so lovely and caring towards me, giving me so much reassurance and getting our little home ready for her to arrive. I'm very lucky.

We watched Between the Covers on Friday night and they were reviewing Lessons in Chemistry. I commented that I'd like to read it.

Yesterday he went into town to get a few bits and came back with the book for me 😁

Bought me a bottle of gin and a Cadbury chocolate trifle from the shop when he went to get dinner, and took a photo of me sitting on the sofa with both DDs in my lap "because I'm going to want to remember this image forever"

He’s been at work since 5am cooking for other people (he’s a chef) and didn’t get home till 5pm. He turned up with a bottle of red, all my favourite junk food and a bunch of flowers because “you sounded a bit tired on the phone.”

love him ♥️

Mine’s a do-er not a say-er and he’s not romantic in the traditional sense but he’s very, very kind. He makes me dinner often and arranges surprise date nights which are alway lovely but he did something recently which made me have a little something in my eye…

He has a camper van and we keep talking about selling it as we can’t fit us and all four of our kids in it (2 mine, 2 his) and so it doesn’t get used as much as it should.

I mentioned in passing one morning that my 2 DC had said they would like to have a night in the camper before we sell as they haven’t been in it yet.

Thought no more of it and went off to work.

When I got home he was hoovering and sorting the van having booked a trip to the New Forest us and my boys the next day…

Surprise day trip to Kew Gardens yesterday. I didn't know where we were going until I worked it out from tube map after 1.5 hours travel. With packed lunch of pork pies and pasties which I love. Then we played the what plants have I killed already game. Fabulous!

Cut the grass whilst I was having a kidney biopsy.

🤷‍♀️😆

I know how shit that sounds but both of us absolutely detest doing the garden and when I was in hospital he spent the time sorting it out for me so it was looking lovely when I got home.

Lots of little things with the occasional grand gesture. He’s naturally kind and thoughtful.
He’s also really hot which helps 😂

That’s so sweet.
