Uncomplainingly takes the kids to see the Super Mario Bros film so you can have an afternoon snooze 😍

Your turn!

Nice ! ...Always gets up early so you get the weekend lie-ins and they are not bothered about getting their "turn"

MyLavenderSuperpowers · 08/04/2023 15:20

Makes you endless cups of tea and lunches

I married the man who got me a new car on finance after 5 months!
Post divorce my credit was shot.
*I made the payments!
Found out recently that is illegal!

Travels across the world at a moments notice to rescue you from a very difficult situation ...not forgetting to bring your hugely worried mum with him just because she asked.

Milksheikha · 08/04/2023 15:28

Loves dogs and let's yours sleep in the bed

JustFrustrated · 08/04/2023 15:31

Carries period stuff in his boot as standard, so when you/your daughter/your friends are caught short you're ok

LubaLuca · 08/04/2023 15:32

Helps your wobbly on his feet dad to the gents' in a crowded pub without anyone even noticing what was happening. My dad told me after, said he was a good lad.

GiveMyHeadPeaceffs · 08/04/2023 15:35

Does all the hoovering and washing and ironing and dishes including emptying the dishwasher and then gives you leg rubs Grin

GiveMyHeadPeaceffs · 08/04/2023 15:36

Though I've absolutely no intention of marrying anyone (for the sake of transparency) 😂

… prioritises you and the children

Drives to your parents home every night to carry your dying father up the stairs so that he can sleep in the same bed as his wife rather than the palliative care bed set up in the dining room, without being asked.

MrsTopaz · 08/04/2023 15:52

surprise orders your favourite dinner to be delivered… shortly after a quick call where you explain it’s been a really tough day and you miss him and you’re too tired to cook, when he’s away from work on the other side of the world.

googledidnthelp · 08/04/2023 15:59

Cooks the most amazing food and loves an immaculate kitchen so cleans up after you even when it's you doing the cooking.

humblemeep · 08/04/2023 16:02

Jumps in his car to collect you in an emergency!

On a more day to day basis, the man who brings you coffee in bed, cleans without any complaints and cooks as much as you do, if not more!

IWineAndDontDine · 08/04/2023 16:10

Who tells you to wait for the toddler to wake up from her nap to go for a run so you don't "waste" your relaxing time!

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 08/04/2023 16:10

Says "sounds great! Enjoy!" when you say you are going on a weekend away with the girls

HappyHappyy · 08/04/2023 16:17

Cooks delicious food every single day, does the food shop, preps, cooks, cleans the kitchen after!

HeechulOppa · 08/04/2023 16:18

…you’d want your son to grow into

MoggyMittens23 · 08/04/2023 16:24

@BessieSurtees that's love

MoggyMittens23 · 08/04/2023 16:26

Makes you feel beautiful, wanted and appreciated every single day

Sits in Sainsbury's car park for an hour at 5 am in the dead of Winter waiting till it opens at 6 because you have woken up with a migraine and are out of painkillers.

It made me cry too- so sorry to hear that you lost your Dad, but your husband sounds lovely x

ComtesseDeSpair · 08/04/2023 16:48

Makes you feel the same way as when you see them bringing your food at a restaurant.

23holi · 08/04/2023 17:25

@DumpedByText Wonderful.
