I see so many threads on here about DH’s/DP’s behaving badly and I’ve written one or two myself. But now my DH deserves a positive post. (If it’s not your thing feel free to not read on).
He is being an absolute TROOPER!
I’m signed off with early pregnancy nausea. Have pretty much every symptom going and feel miserable.
Whilst struggling through work I was irritable, short tempered and quite mean (obviously struggling). He was NOTHING but kind, patient and compassionate.
At the Dr’s he held my hand whilst I sobbed in front of an alarmed looking Male GP!
Now I’m at home, cuddling a bucket 75% of the day and doing ABSOLOUTLEY nothing. Despite being in a gruelling part of his own work rota (hospital DR) he’s just doing EVERYTHING without being asked or reminded.
He comes home from night shifts and stops at the supermarket, loads the washer, folds the clean laundry and fills/empties the dishwasher!
He takes the bin out and changes the litter box, wipes down the sides and sorts the recylcing. Our cat got D&V in the heat- he dealt with it ALL and ran to the vets.
AND on top of that he just keeps asking how I’m feeling and if there’s anything else he can do.
He’s just got home and I warmed up a ready meal for him as a ‘thanks’ (cooking is beyond me atm). I feel utterly gross and lazy atm and he just keeps telling me how amazing my baby growing is and I should give myself credit. I know this should be how every DH behaves when you’re struggling with pregnancy symptoms but when I opened the dishwasher this morning to load it and found that DH had done it and ran it through the night...clean sparkly pots. I cried 😂😭
*We usually split housework about 70/30 as he works a lot more hours than I do and commutes further.
