Does your DP/DH leave love notes?

I just came home from work and DP left me the loveliest note and even sprayed his pillow with his cologne (so I wouldn't miss him as he's not in tonight). My exH didn't even remotely do that... What about your OHs?

DP - the P is the clue Grin How long are you together?

Almost 2 decades together and the answer is no..

Don't mind this cynical old fool.. Wink

QueenOfMyWorld · 26/09/2018 20:25

No he's not that type,it's just not his style.He writes lovely things in birthday/anniversary cards though

sadnessin · 26/09/2018 20:28

Lol nope.

seanna · 26/09/2018 20:29

We met about a year ago, our first kiss was 11 months ago. But I think we're still in our honeymoon period as we've never had a fight.

This has to be a relatively new relationship?

If my DH did this I would be pissed off that he risked staining my pillows with his aftershave...

DragonMamma · 26/09/2018 20:30

Crossed post. The fact that you’re referencing your first kiss says it all!

Enjoy it 😁

Not anymore, we have two small dc. We’re lucky we actually get to talk to each other a few times a week! But we used to. We were long distance on opposite sides of the world for several years before we got married and we used to write each other proper love letters. We have piles of them. It’s a lovely memory of the early years of our relationship. But my stepdad still hides notes for my mum folded up in secret places in her suitcase wherever she travels to visit us, it’s really sweet!

GlossyGlossy · 26/09/2018 20:33

He doesn't leave notes but he did come home today between work and visiting his parents just to say hello and give me a kiss Smile

DeadBod · 26/09/2018 20:36

No. He does well to reply to a text.

butlerswharf · 26/09/2018 20:42

We both do.

offside · 26/09/2018 20:44

When he’s working away for a longer period than usual (only around a week) my DH usually leaves a love note for each day he’s away hidden in the house with a small treat for me. I usually wake up to a message from him with a clue as to where he’s hidden that days note and treat. I bagged a good ‘un!

PurplePotatoes · 26/09/2018 20:46

Occasionally he'll write "Love You" on the shopping list if I've left it on the side, that's about it. More often than not he writes "Beer" instead...

GoodbyeSummer · 26/09/2018 20:52

Sometimes dh will write a note in the mist on the mirror in the shower.
We write nice things in each other's cards for bdays and anniversaries.

tootiredtospeak · 26/09/2018 20:53

My DP did this loads in the first 2 years made me lunch put a note in etc......10 years on not so much. Every now and again maybe a quick I have done the ironing and packed lunches have a good day love you

laceygo · 26/09/2018 20:56

@DeadBod same here Grin

sirmione16 · 26/09/2018 20:56

Similar but my OH whenever he's out the door before I wake up (couple times a month) always texts me three hearts. It's reassuring me he's where he travelled to safely and like a good morning text, and I genuinely worry if I don't get them, I think it's a lovely thoughtful gesture

delphguelph · 26/09/2018 20:57

Does he feck

I'd rather he clean the dishes tbh

DramaAlpaca · 26/09/2018 20:59

Never, not once in 30 years together. But then I haven't either.

Purpleisthenewblue1 · 26/09/2018 21:01

No you must be in a new relationship Grin given it time.

PickAChew · 26/09/2018 21:01

Hahaha haha 😅😅😅😅🤣🤣🤣

Purpleisthenewblue1 · 26/09/2018 21:02

*give

Haireverywhere · 26/09/2018 21:03

Yes. It's one of the reasons why I'm still here all these years later. He'll also hide things around the house for me to find.

dudsville · 26/09/2018 21:04

We have long standing hidden exchanges that we know the meaning of when we find them but they aren't notes as such. We've been together along time though. Enjoy your early days!

EggysMom · 26/09/2018 21:06

Been together almost ten years, and DH still hides short love notes or surprise chocolates in my lunchbox under the sandwiches Smile

LusaCole · 26/09/2018 21:10

Nope! We've been together 21 years but I'm not sure he did it at the beginning either!
