Lovely things your partner does

[2slicesoftoast]

I'm having a tough time of it at the moment.
Came home from work to find a bunch of flowers and a bottle of wine on my doorstep. With an internet link in the envelope.
He made me a playlist on Spotify!
I'm sprawled over the sofa, looking at my flowers, sipping wine and sofa dancing to my play list!
Good guys are out there!

Ahhhh how lovely! We did our giving notice of marriage last week and my fiancee went into the town where it's displayed just too take a photo (he got told off for taking said photo ) and send it to me while I was at work, I found it really sweet

My husband always makes sure there is a fresh bouquet of flowers in my vase in the kitchen. He knows it makes me happy. The most amazing thing he’s ever done, was after years of pestering me to renew our vows, i finally caved. Turns out he had been learning my native language in secret and recited his original vows in my language and I ugly cried in front of all my family and friends and looked like shit in all the photos

I wish!

Ah I love this thread. My DH makes me a cuppa every morning and always gets up and sorts the kids breakfast out before school. I know it’s not spending loads of money or a “grand” gesture but when I’m really tired and he knows I don’t “do” mornings, those little things mean a lot on a daily basis

Aw that's nice. Mine brings me sweeties every time he pops to the shops and he makes the BEST cups of tea and coffee (seriously, people can't help but loudly "Ooooooh" Or "Mmmmmm" when he makes them a cuppa) and he'll get in from a 14 hour day and straight away offer me, a SAHM a brew.

He also doesn't think twice about getting the laundry, dishes or cleaning done without me asking which I know shouldn't be an issue but reading some threads here you'd think he was unusual.

These are beautiful!
We don't live together, but he always makes me a cuppa in the morning if he stays over.

@NotUmbongoUnchained 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️

He still takes me seriously when I'm ugly crying about nothing at all for the umpteenth time and still manages to make me feel better (he's had about three years' worth of my depression by now). He never makes me feel insecure about how I look or act. He genuinely thinks I can do anything and supports me no matter what it is I am trying to do. He shows his vulnerability to me. He loves cooking for me.

I spend a lot of time in hospital. Once DH secretly sent my engagement ring for repair, I'd lost a diamond from it. He brought it to the hospital as a surprise to cheer me up during a month long stay. Another time, I mentioned I was craving a fresh milkshake from a specific location. Next visiting time he turned up with one. We celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary next year.

That is fab @artio0
I'm happy you are happy.

My DH is not caring by nature. He's very much an only child who can only think of his own needs. His factory settings are stuck on selfish, sadly.

He takes the bins down to the street and back once a week, does that count?

@DollyDayScream

So sweet ... My DH packs me a work lunch every morning and bakes me a birthday cake every year

Scrapes my car when it's an icy morning and what the others say regarding brews, bins etc!

Never buys me flowers but I do get wine and kitkat chunkys.

My DP frequently tells me to pull my head out of my arse.

You'd be amazed how often that thing gets stuck up there. It's like there's a tattoo on my butt cheek saying "Free candy" and I just gotta go find out, every time. You have no idea.

Oh, and I can cry freely in front of her, and she offers nothing but love.

In return, since I know she's not a morning person, she gets a mug of coffee next to the bed to wake up to, and hot eggs on toast for breakfast every day we're together. Works for both of us.

Lies on my side of the bed to warm it up whilst I'm faffing getting ready for bed.

Brings me a drink up before leaving for work.

Brings me poached egg on toast at the weekend if I'm feeding our baby I bed.

But by far the best thing he's done was on holiday two years ago. We had a camper van and took it to France for a couple of weeks. We had a rule that the portaloo was only to be used for weeing. We had a cooked breakfast one morning and I had either a dodgy sausage, mushroom or egg that didn't agree with me and I had the sudden urge to have a shit. Even though we were close to the toilet block I knew I wouldn't make it so I dived into the van, slammed the door shut and sat on the portaloo so quickly my husband didn't even have time to stop me. I only just had time to dive the couple of metres from outside to inside the van.

After the world had fallen out of my arse I still felt delicate and without a second thought my husband went and emptied the diarrhoea filled toilet, swilled it out and disinfected it. Even though I said I would do it as I broke the rules he insisted as we were also querying whether or not I was pregnant at the time.

Love this!

Where to even start - he cooks dinner for us most nights, makes me breakfast in the morning. Makes me tea, kisses me goodbye every morning. Supports me constantly in my rough times, takes my ear bashing's on the chin - the lot.

Spoils me rotten with flowers, special jewellery and anything he thinks I'll like. Gives me cuddles, decorates the entire house for my birthday, is the most creative person I've ever met in my life. He's perfect

The doorbell rang last night...DH had booked me a surprise at home massage, he said I deserved some relaxation time as I’m looking after two under two. He even held off going to the loo because he didn’t want to make any noise or risk waking the kids and ruining the experience for me.

@Cawfee - mine does this too! Bless him - it's for the good of all of us really!

Came home after a particularly freezing backshift last winter to find my pjs hanging over the radiator.

Takes the bins out. It brings a little tear to my eye every week

DP is amazing , after 21 years and 4 children he will say thank you for everything you do and how much it means to him, book a spa day and night for the 2 of us , text and say don't worry about cooking he is taking us all out for dinner, write me a poem, I could go on and on but will end by saying I feel truly blessed to have him and love him more than I could ever say.

What a lovely thread!
My DP strokes my legs every night without fail, tea every morning (which if the above posts are anything to go by is clearly a sign of a decent partner!) And makes me giggle endlessly. We're showing notice of our wedding next month and I could not be happier.

He normally rubs or tickles my back till I fall asleep every night. Sometimes he will run me a bath with candles.

It was our anniversary yesterday. I forgot. He rang me to wish me a happy anniversary while on my way into work.
He decided that we would go around Blackpool illuminations and get a bag of chips with our kids.
Married for 18 years.
There is so much but the thing that makes me warm inside is his devotion and love of our children.
He is by far a much better parent than I am, nothing comes before his time with them. He will not compromise on this.
I love him for this.

I've recently got a "posh" phone that has the internet on it (I know, I know, I'm an old lady far behind modern times!!)
And I have discovered Spotify that has changed my daily life! I have a long list of my most favourite songs of all time on it. Anyway, he bought me a wee speaker that my phone can link to so I can listen to my music while I'm pottering around the house!! Bloody love it!
