What sweet things does your DH do, that show he loves you?

[KenIsAnAccessory]

Would love to hear what yours do, that make you feel loved?

Mine buys my favourite chocolate and hides it round the house so I find it when I'm doing chores. Makes me smile every time.

He's learning to play piano and picks songs he knows I love, to learn, so that I enjoy listening while he practices.

Makes my hot chocolate every night without me asking.
Let's me tuck my freezing cold feet behind his knees in bed.
Makes my lunch and drink for work
Listens.

Mine makes my tea just how I like it and reheats it without being asked if I let it go cold.
He drives into bed superhero style and skips across our yard just to make me laugh.
He will, for no reason, and in the middle of nothing in particular, at random, dash over and give me a big squeeze hug, just cos.
We both work from home sitting opposite each other and if we have been concentrating on silence for a while he might occasionally slowly lift his eyes over the edge of his screen until I notice and laugh, then go back to work. Not enough to be annoying, just enough for it to be an in joke.

I just came back from a funeral a long way away. There were a list of physically tough household jobs I'd meant to do before I left but I'd been helping out a relative, I was post-Covid and too knackered to do them. DH picked me up from the station, late at night yesterday and I came home to a sparkling house, clean bedding, fresh towels, folded clothes. He'd blitzed the house and made my favourite dinner.

Makes me tea in bed, he bought me a chocolate advent calendar as I mentioned last year I had never had one and made the effort to get dark chocolate as I don’t like milk. Rubs my sore back, will rearrange his schedule to take me to medical appointments as I have some nasty chronic health issues. Makes daft jokes , sings odd little ditties to me, I do the same to him.

Ah gosh, yes forgot all the drink-making (all the time!) and nurse-maiding when I'm ill!

He gets up much earlier than me, but always tucks the duvet around my shoulders to make sure I stay cosy in bed. He'll often give me a big hug, for no reason, and always smells my hair before kissing the top of my head.

But really, he does so many tiny things every day which show me I'm never very far from his thoughts x

I've been away for the weekend, house clean and tidy with washing done, school uniforms sorted, children sorted and he's made my dinner. Also bed all changed and clean. I married a man who believes in team work and growing together through life. He's never tried to hold me back.

Will sit for ages doing my back or feet or brushing my hair. Plans my birthday and Christmas presents months in advance.

How lovely to hear about some nice men for a change!

Mine always takes what I say seriously, always listens. And he rubs my feet, gives me the best hugs when I’m stressed, makes me laugh.

When he shows me a gif or video on Reddit he waits till the beginning of it to show me.

coffee in bed.

Buys me fab Christmas and birthday presents and makes a fuss.

Massive hugs all the time.

does all the cooking, but makes me dinners for when he goes away. Beat that!!!

This is such a nice thread considering the awful things we hear about people's "dear" husbands on many others!

Mine makes me a cup of tea every single morning. When we had babies and I had to breastfeed them in the middle of the night he even used to get up then to make me a cuppa while I was feeding them. I never forget that.

Lots of little things, like cups of tea in bed first thing, cups of tea and cake/biscuit when he knows I’ve got lots of work mtgs (I’m WFH), spotting stuff that needs done around the house without having to be reminded. He notices and remembers things, doesn’t tell me he loves me all the time (like my ExH used), he simply shows me he does with all the little everyday thoughtfulness.

In my spare time I play in a band and he actively encourages me making sure I have time to do gigs, rehearsals and practice (no having to miss things because of home issues) and he even helps me with band stuff away from actual playing. Previous H complained about any social stuff I did so much I ended up giving it all up, including my music. My now DH couldn’t be more supportive.

Makes me coffee in bed at weekends.
Always gets up to feed dogs and let them out in the morning.
Cooks for me every day as he knows I hate it.
Bought me a toblerone last week when I got a raise.

Tells me I’m beautiful every morning, when I’m half asleep with bed hair.

Makes me tea in bed every morning.

Makes me a mean dry martini when I’ve had a bad day.

Makes sure that the fire is roaring away when I come home from work on a winter’s night.

Makes me a hot water bottle and pops it in the bed so my side is nice and toasty.

Does all the ironing (this might be my favourite).

Makes me mint tea before bed; rubs my feet after work; lets me watch what I want to on the TV and then watches it with me; sends me lovely texts throughout the day; irons my clothes for me when I’m running late; goes to the shop for me when I’ve forgotten something; drops everything to taxi me about and probably lots more that I don’t realise and don’t always appreciate like I should.

Not a DH and we don't live together but when we can spend the night together he'll get in bed and warm up my side before I get in. When we go away he always has a charger packed for my phone. He keeps little notes on his phone of things like my favourite and v hard to get lipstick shade and tracks it down online. He pays attention.

Every night we have been together, over the past 30 years, my DH has stroked my head till I fall asleep.

When he is on early shift at work he phoned me to tell me to look out for the sunrise (I leave a bit later than him)

He always, always, has my back.

Mines been eating my terrible cooking without complaining for 24 years now lol

Mine gives me compliments all the time, even though I'm awful at taking them, if I'm Ill he will do everything for DS and make me stay in bed whilst he brings me hot drinks and food, always gives me massive cuddles just because and always let's me snuggle up to him in bed when I'm freezing cold, no matter how painful it must be. He's just bloody wonderful and I couldn't wish for anything more😊

This makes me sad because mine does nothing like this ☹️. I’m happy for the rest of you though!

Show him the thread and tell him to shape up or ship out 😉

@Idratherbepaddleboarding my DH doesn't do most of these things either yet he does show me in his own way. Was having a difficult time with my manager at work and coming home upset most nights and his immediate response was to tell me to leave and that he would cover the bills and work weekends if needed to allow me to find somewhere else (I didn't and the issue has since resolved). Even though not practical I loved him for this as felt he really had my back and was willing to take on more so I would feel happier.
