DP is useless with romance!

What is most important thing your partner has done?

Is he romantic on his own or does he need nudging in right direction?

are you on the panel of Loose Women?

Mine greets me each morning with a rose between his teeth and brings me a boiled egg with marmite soldiers 😀

DramaAlpaca · 17/11/2018 15:16

He's very romantic. He brings me up a cup of tea every morning before he leaves for work.

BillywigSting · 17/11/2018 15:18

Mine is romantic in non traditional ways.

He's never bought be floweres or chocolate but makes me a pot of coffee every morning and he HATES coffee.

He puts the toilet seat down.

Oh yes - yours is the one with the half-arsed 'promise ring' thing isn't he? I can see why you would need to ask this journalisty question

Mine noticed how tired I have been lately (stressful time at work and nasty peri symptoms). Put me to bed and insisted on doing all the housework (which I know he hates) so I can get a rest. That's love. Doesn't have to come with flowers.

@InspectorIkmen - I thought exactly the same thing

TryingToSayRightThing · 17/11/2018 15:35

Promised to be on baby duty tonight after an all nighter for me last night. Who knows maybe he'll even get me a Chinese for tea.

Stuff of poetry that.

Snapped True though isn’t it 😂

"What is most important thing your partner has done?"

I don't even know what that means, in relation to "romance".

YABU to judge all men based on your DP. I'm not interested in romance and my DP isn't romantic. What he is, is consistently kind, respectful, does his share of kids stuff and housework, etc. That's more important to me than sporadic grand gestures.

Housingcraze · 17/11/2018 15:55

My issue was not material actually!

He doesn’t remember how and when we first met and when he realised he loved me! Bad PMT

@InspectorIkmen it is! My friend is a journalist and if she were to come here to get content for an article it would be worded exactly like this!

Chocolatecoffeeaddict · 17/11/2018 16:01

Little day to day things are what I find important and appreciate, not grand gestures, apart from when he proposed. Though he does sometimes need a nudge when buying presents for me for birthdays and Christmas.
