My back was fucking killing me yesterday and DP run me a nice warm bath to relax in.

I frequently get back and shoulder rubs and massages. I do not have back problems BTW it gives me gip 2 or 3 times a year for a few days then all fine again.

DP brings me back flowers most times he goes to the shops.

Tells me daily he loves me and is always telling me how great he thinks I am.

He tells me how much he appreciates me supporting him when times are a tad tough.

In short he makes me feel loved, cared for and appreciated. Kinda how it should be but sadly ain't for many people.

Some really lovely post. Love these threads.

DH does some really lovely things. They tend to be random and totally unexpected.

The most recent is a surprise all day Spa at a really lovely place for next Thursday. His booked the day off work to make sure he does /picks up anything I had planned to do that day. He said DD (23 months) and him had been discussing it and thought I should have a day to myself because I have so much to do Christmas and Boxing Day. No more to do than anyone hosting family on both days.

His really thoughtful.

I get nightly foot rubs. He makes me tea and breakfast every morning while I'm showering. Lots of cuddles when we're settling down to sleep.

My beautiful husband is in heaven now but I didn't want to miss out on this thread.

He called me beautiful.
He would tell me I was the best mother on earth and he was so glad he chose me.
I always got the first half hour with him when he finished work, the dc would sit and watch us on the verandah ( they secretly loved it!)
Open doors for me.
He made me feel so loved and like I was the most amazing woman that had ever graced the earth.

Imiss him so so much.

Mermaid my heart goes out to you- not many people are lucky enough experience that.

This thread is great as it reminds us not to take them for granted. I've come to see my dh's behaviour as normal which is very naughty of me as my ex was an abusive arsehole. Last week after a meal with friends, dh won quite a fair bit at a casino. Next morning I woke up to a quiet house- he'd turned off my alarm, taken my kids to school, left me coffe & papers and to a note with the money telling me to buy something special for myself. Always helping me, very affectionate. I can't wait to grow old with him.

I think I have something in my eye, this is a lovely thread.

Dp always has a cuppa ready when I get back from walking the dogs in the morning, he's patient and gentle, no matter how much of a grumpy bag I am. We can chuckle about anything, and talk. Love him to bits

In the early days with my ex, I overslept when I was staying with him, and had to go to work late and in a panic. After that, every single time we spent the night together he would set his alarm for five minutes after mine so that, if it happened again he could wake me up. This continued for the whole of our relationship, even after we moved in together, even though I did shift work and would sometime be up at 5am.

And he was always very affectionate. Sometimes he would hold his arms open and say "Cuddles" in a stern voice :)

We aren't together any more, but he remains one of my dearest friends and the person who loved me best.

A different thread has just reminded me of this. When kids were small I was a sahm and dh ran his own business so was working very hard and long hours.
Now, I could win Olympic medals for sleeping so when one or other (or both) of the smalls woke in the night dh would often get up and deal with them and I wouldn't know anything about it until morning. Bad mum, great dad!
He's the kindest, most considerate man in the world, but no great romantic. Romantic gestures can be just that, gestures, it's actions that speak louder than words. Cliche much??
