DP's in bed and his phone just flashed up with a message

It's on the coffee table next to me, he usually leaves it on the TV bench so further away where I don't really notice it. The light of the incoming message made me look over and I could see his home screen. It's a photo of me! I didn't know he had set that and the cutest thing is - it's me in a raincoat with the hood up, not all dressed up and fancy for a night out or anything. I'm all smiley now and wanted to share this to balance out all the crappy DP posts that are usually here (and understandably so). I'm off to bed now I've shared this to give him a big hug. Nite all!

Lol my husband has a photo of me he set to his lock screen. Everytime our daughter sees it she yells "mommy, that's mommy's phone, daddy!" 🤣🤣. I actually had no idea he had set a picture of me to his lock screen until my daughter snatched his phone and ran it to me loudly yelling that daddy had taken my phone, lol.

Super cute that your DP has unwittingly surprised you with something so happy feels inducing!

That's so lovely 🥰

IncompleteSenten · 23/09/2022 07:39

That's so sweet. I'm jealous. 😁
My husband's phone is full of pictures of our cat.
I only found this out when she went missing and he spent the whole day out looking for her, stopping everyone and showing them his phone while asking have you seen this cat.

Did he find the cat?

Is the cat home?

Cliffhanger stuff, we need to know!

IncompleteSenten · 23/09/2022 07:48

Oh, sorry. Yes. Yes we did.

MakingNBaking · 23/09/2022 07:48

My husband's screensaver thingy is the dog 😳

Thank goodness

My cat went missing for 2 weeks once. Thought we'd list her but up she popped. Not a clue where she'd been.

When I first started to read it I expected another bad post. But its really nice to read a good one about a great partner!

tulips27 · 23/09/2022 08:01

Aww that's romantic! 😍
I was all geared up for a different post after that opener!

kittensinthekitchen · 23/09/2022 08:03

Ah that's cute 😊

dudsville · 23/09/2022 08:05

Awww! That's really lovely.

clairethewitch70 · 23/09/2022 08:05

Married 30 years and we both have one of our cats😁😁

CatsAreCrackers · 23/09/2022 08:45

Awww, that's so lovely, fair warmed the cockles of my heart! 😍

My husband has one of my daughter and I on his phone, but my daughter put it on for him as he just had the one that the phone came with. I'm not even sure he's even taken any photos with his phone! 😂

A few weeks ago my DP was showing me something on his phone and when he clicked off of it I noticed his background was a photo of him and my son in matching tops. He is not his dad (although DS has started calling him dad). I actually melted on the spot.

Aaarrghh @Anothernosebleed I have something in my eye!

JamesBondOO7 · 23/09/2022 08:53

Just shows the little things makes a lot of difference - I'm happy for you!

Sproutpie · 23/09/2022 08:56

My husband has a photo of a right bitch as his phone wallpaper. She has the shiniest black hair ever and lovely long eyelashes………..and the wettest nose!

ClaireEclair · 23/09/2022 09:00

Awww… so sweet. My DH’s Home Screen is a photo of our dear departed cat. He got a new phone last month and still has her as his Home Screen.

TheLongGallery · 23/09/2022 09:00

DH pic on his phone is of our long departed hamster sat on a Mayan temple he made out of Jenga blocks for her to play on.

That's very sweet. He can still surprise you 😏

😆

mamabear715 · 23/09/2022 09:17

Awww! Lovely post! Happy Friday morning! :-)

TheOtherHotstepper · 23/09/2022 09:17

DH's phone lock screen and wallpaper, and his Facebook profile picture are all of ... himself.

1stTimeMama · 23/09/2022 09:18

This is so sweet 😊 I too found out my husband has me as his wallpaper, he works abroad and we facetime as much as we can, and it's a screen shot from one of our chats. I think I look tired and weary, but I'm smiling and relaxed and he loves it. His lock screen is our children.
He's a love ❤️

ShaneTwane · 23/09/2022 09:18

My dps picture is set to a cat eating a pancake. Not even our cat.

ManateeFair · 23/09/2022 09:27

DP does not have me as his lock screen and to make matters worse he just has the generic background that was preset on the phone when he bought it, which is clearly the behaviour of a weirdo. He does, however, have a little heart emoji by my name in his Contacts which I do find slightly adorable.
