Can you say one thing that your DP does that is completely unnecessary but makes your day that bit better?

[Whatnamenext]

Mine is tea in bed. Everyday. Didn't know I liked tea that much but would really miss it if he didn't do it.

SharonCurley, me neither, it makes me sad too If I even ask him for a cup of tea he gets annoyed.

DP and I are both a bit rubbish about the house, but...

He does bring me a drink every morning - tea or juice. When I have an early start he makes me 'tea to go' so that I get my morning cuppa before I'm unleashed on my project teams & also feeds the grumpy moggy

I am snuggled, every night. Escape is sometimes tricky...

He keeps me roadworthy as I am a lazy cyclist / motorcyclist / probably pretty average driver. This is lovely but I'm less sure. Reckon I might prefer more washing and for me to do the bike stuff...

If it's 11 o'clock at night and I say "I really fancy..." (insert name of food), he'll go and get it for me. The other night it was crumpets and he got back and toasted them for me. Also meets me at the train station every time I visit, and gives regular back rubs.

Oh, and buys me books and writes little notes on the inside cover.

The loveliest thing he ever did was....

I was in hospital and there was an old lady in the bed next to me who was waiting to be transferred to hospice.
The WRI ladies came round with their trolley and the old lady asked for a packet of marshmallows, They cost £1,05 and she only had £1...the WRI 'ladies' took them back from her :(

I didn't have any cash on me and was really upset about it (was in for an ectopic pregnancy so quite hormonal) When DH saw how upset I was he got back in the car and went to Tesco and bought the lady a bag of marshmallows. :)

He makes my lunch for work and often writes a little love note and puts in with it

He left work early the other day and went over to mine (we don't live together just yet) and did all my housework, I came home at 6pm to a sparkling house, yankee candle lit and flowers

He asks me to text him when I'm leaving work so he can run me a bath to get into when I arrive home, he then brings me a cup of tea as I relax.

Ooooh he also cleans my house while I go to the gym, and does all my ironing. I can't remember the last time I had to conquer Mount Ironing!

I'm really questioning my relationship now (I was anyway) .Feel like I'm missing out

He makes the tea and sorts the cats out while I go in the shower every morning, even if he is wfh and doesn't have to be up at the crack of dawn/

I'm 22 weeks pregnant, and he has religiously rubbed the bump with some kind of oil/moisturiser every night before bed without fail.

If he's away with work (like this week) he'll text every morning and every night to tell me he misses both of us.

Lots of other little things , but he makes me feel very special.

Sharon I don't get any of this either. How lovely it must be to be treated like this!

He brings me licquorice.
Not the cheapie stuff either -the posh stuff.

I'm not really a morning person so when i'm half asleep he will warn me that he is switching the bedside lamp on so I can hide under the covers for 5 more mins of shut eye but also to gently remind me that I need to get up soon! He will sometimes bring chocolate to me from the local shop and also will randomly leave little messages on the fridge - stupid childish things to make me giggle. Yesterday he arranged 'wise woman' on there in apology for being a dick earlier this week :-)

I love this thread!!!

For those who are questioning their relationships because their OHs don't do any of these things, please don't. Or at least look at your entire relationships as a whole. Many men don't do these little things, but they are still faithful, supporting, loving husbands/partners. Many men who do these things are not faithful or supporting husbands/partners. So look at the whole man, not just this little snapshot.

If you do want your husband to do these little things, do you do little things for him? Have you told him how much it would mean? Again, look at your whole life together before you give him the stink eye for not bringing you tea in bed.

He loves our daughter so much that sometimes watching them makes my heart hurt (in a good way)
He does most of the cooking - and all of the washing up.
He puts notes in my packed lunch - sometimes cute, sometimes funny, sometimes downright filthy!! Xx

Every business trip / visa run, he goes to great lengths to buy all the spices, specific makeup items and whatnot I can't get here (I travel less frequently). I'll give him a list as long as my arm and he must spend 90% of his free time tracking everything down, bless him.

Does most of the cooking and all the washing up and gets a wee bit territorial about it, even- like a previous poster, I'm not complaining!

He also gets up and brings me chocolate after sex.

Brings me suprise bowls of custard with chocolate broken into it.

This thread is lovely but it makes me so very sad. My exH never did any of these things. It never crossed his mind to do any one single tiny little thing that would make me smile.

the pity of is that I think if I had made a stand, shouted out, asked for some sign, some consideration, maybe he would have learned how to love me as I wanted to be loved.

Twitterqueen Don't blame yourself for the faults of your exH. That way madness lies.

Jeannette the marshmallow story is just lovely. Really just eally bloody nice in this vaguely crap world of ours. Thanks for sharing.

our boiler isnt on a timer and im a right cold ass. on a wkend on his early morning pee stop he switches the heating on for me.

he is notorious for using the last of the loo roll and leaving it, on the few occasions he remembers to replace, it makes me feel all warm inside.

he wont let me clean the mould in our flat (get in ).

oh and he is an amazing spider catcher even tho i know he is as scared as i am!

The love in his eyes. In so many ways we struggle to communicate, but what I can read in his face and body language is undeniable and wonderful.
He will go to the ends of the earth for me...and he has. And he does. He works abroad. Every morning he sends me a photo of what the weather is doing on our favourite part of his journey to work.
When here, he is my hottie in bed for my icicle hands and feet
He does cups of tea and trips to the dump and all kinds of chores, helping me do my tax return, hanging washing, or just being nearby.
He ties dental floss around the moley-skin flap things on my back.

Early morning tea when I'm not working, puts my electric blanket on, puts glass of water by bed, and always opens door before I get to it when he heard my car in drive.

hears

He fills up a hot water bottle (or two if I need two) for me every night before I go to bed, and puts it in the bed so it's warm when I get in. He also wraps my pyjamas round it, so they're warm too.
