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.

Probably in my best interest to unfollow this thread 🤣

Seriously though, those with amazing and supportive men, enjoy being spoiled and loved unconditionally

I’m so sorry to those who’ve posted who can’t relate to this 😕

Mine makes me tea. Loads of tea, all day long. This is the ultimate for me as I love tea so much.

He does a lot of the taxiing of the kids to and from various activities, especially the evening winter ones which are my least favourite.

He buys me chocolate treats every Friday.

When I am doubting myself over work stuff he tells me how great I am at my job and reminds me of past achievements.

He is an excellent present-chooser. He never asks me for a list for Xmas or Birthday because he has already compiled a list during the year when I’ve mentioned things or he’s seen me looking at something.

The thing that probably touches me the most is that he honours the memory of my parents. I lost them ten years ago when I was in my 30s and DH remembers their birthdays and the anniversaries of their deaths. A few days before one of these dates he’ll often say something like ‘Would you like to go to the burial ground at the weekend? We could have a nice walk before and go for lunch afterwards’. I just love that he knows and sees the importance.

I probably should unfollow this but its just put lots into perspective for me. I'm not valued or respected, not by DH or anyone in life.

It's time to move on, as nothing ever changes

Gives me a cuddle whenever I wany one and will supply unending head scratches!

He remembers everything, he’ll always remember to wish me good luck, or ask after something. I’ve got a big birthday I’m planning on a couple of months and he told me has done a playlist of Al my favourite music. And he never ever makes a plan with his friends without checking it’s ok with me. I don’t know why as I couldn’t care less if he sees his friends and we are both ojcredibly independent but it’s the sweetest thing

Brings me tea in bed every morning. When the car windscreen ices up he clears it off by clearing a giant ❤️. He makes me hot drinks, lets me choose TV channels most of the time and makes me the best omelette for lunch.

@NoodlePuppet Sounds like the thread is a tough read for you but if it is helping you to see that you aren’t valued by those in your life, then that is a good thing- in the long run. I hope things change for you.

Badly worded- I meant a good thing if it helps you to find something different for yourself. 💐

That's very true, and insightful.

Lots of food for thought

Literally everything right now since I'm over 41 weeks pregnant, have a cold from hell and being pretty useless. All meals, all toddler duties, cleaning, trips to shops for my favourite snacks whenever I get a craving etc. I feel quite guilty but he hasn't complained at all.

Does all the shopping, cooking, cleaning, ironing, school run, packed lunches, ferrying the kids around. Makes me cups of tea when I’m working from home. If I am going to the office, will wake up extra early to take me to the station and pick me up.
Takes the mental load of bills, house insurance, does all the diy, gardening and Fixing stuff in the house.
Helps me with my tax return, advises me on my own money investing.
Rubs my back every night to put me to sleep.
seeing it all written down is eye opening

Neither my husband nor myself are particularly spontaneous romantics... I'm autistic and not a huge fan of surprises and he is ADHD and very forgetful 😂 I don't like massages or change and he knows I can only drink one cup of tea a day or I'm constantly weeing 😂 But I'm in no doubt that he loves me as he will do anything for me and our son, often doing more than his fair share of everything without complaint. He is endlessly patient and kind.

A few things I can think of:

If there's ever free snacks at his place of work he always gets extra for me ❤️

When he cooks he's always insistent that I get the better looking dish. For example, if he breaks an egg yolk trying to fry it he will have that one. 😅

Brings me tea in bed every morning (not a morning person) and rearranges his work whenever he can to take me and pick me up from the station when I go into the office. Never mentions it much less complains, is just there and ready.
Does all the ironing.
Has leant what matters to me on birthdays and Christmas (fresh flowers and a nice breakfast on the table; a homemade cake and Something organised for supper) and delivers every year. Even though these are very different to his priorities.
Makes time to support my mad little hobbies and passions and never resents my sometimes long work hours and quietly picks up whatever is needed round the house.
Notices new clothes or hair and compliments them: always makes an effort to look good himself if we are going out.

Will do anything for people he loves without a moments thought for himself.

Thank you for starting this thread: it’s lovely to take a moment to appreciate it. For those who don’t have this, it is worth holding out for.

He knows me, accepts all my flaws, makes out they're charming and loves me. I hear him talking to other people about me & he's always so proud of me. I've made myself cry! 😂

Lots of things but my favourites...

Comes behind me and squeezes me tight when I'm washing up, buys me flowers at random very often, brings me cups of tea all the time when we're both working at home...I could go on!

Love the celebratory Toblerone!

I love this, I should have added the shop one to mine. Mine will always go to the shop if I ask him haha....true love!

We fell out at the weekend and he did the food shop himself (without asking my list, as we were ignoring each other). I walked into the kitchen in silence and looked in the cupboard after he came back.. he had got my favourite bread. I immediately smirked then had to put my angry face back on to pretend I was still in a huff with him 😂

He brings me breakfast in bed every day. Tells me he loves me lots! Always thinks of me first. He does silly voices to make me laugh and take my mind off being in pain. Brings me drinks without asking. Drives me everywhere. Its little things like this that make me feel so special and truly loved. Every day, I feel lucky he's all mine.

Buys me my favourite flowers every few weeks because he knows I like them.

Generally just looks after me , does a lot more house work / domestic chores than me because he wants to just make my life easier and because I don't like doing it

Tells me I'm beautiful every day (I'm really not at all beautiful, he does wear contact lenses! 😆)

Is generally just supportive of whatever I want to do.

Makes the effort with my friends and encourages me to go out and spend time doing stuff with my friends

Lives 300 miles away and never contacts me. Absolute bliss.

A few years ago I had to work a night shift on New Year's Eve. My mum wanted to go to the local pub to see in the new year but didn't want to go alone (all her friends were in couples). My DH turned down an invite to go to a party at his friends house and he accompanied my mum to the pub instead and spent the evening politely chatting to her friends because he knew making her happy would mean a lot to me. I'll never forget he did that 🥰

That’s given me a lump in my throat @DonPeggyJoan. You’ve a good one there. ❤️

I really have and I don't mean that smugly, I don't take for granted how lucky I am to have such a good partner.

Fuck all.
