What did he do today?

[LiteraryType]

This forum is great for giving advice about wayward partners but dare I ask....what does your DH/DP do for you (not kids) that's nice? Appreciated? Sweet? Fun?

Coffee and toast in bed this morning (well, on a plate )

Brings me an unexpected cup of tea. Buys my favourite chocolate bar when he goes to the shop sometimes. De-ices my car. Runs me a bath. Makes my breakfast every morning. Along with all the usual mundane housework!

Lots of things! Breakfast in bed quite regularly; if he gets up before me and he hears me getting up he’ll have a brew ready for me when I get down; always bringing surprises home for me and ordering treats; makes sure I have ‘me time’; cooks lovely meals; rubs my feet and plays with my hair (not at the same time, he isn’t stretch Armstrong!) while I fall asleep (sounds childish but I love it!); if he goes away for work he will leave me notes around the house and put little presents around the house for me to find while I’m pottering; he more than pulls his weight in terms of chores; we have regular date nights (obviously not at the moment) where we’ll go for a nice meal but also go to the theatre/crazy golf/surprise weekends away etc etc; when he does go away for work he often surprises me by arranging childcare and sorting out travel for me to meet after his working week has finished; because we can’t go out for a date night at the moment we are cooking lots of nice meals at home and making the most of the time we have at night once our DD is in bed; most of all he is the best daddy to our DD and they adore each other.

He makes me a cup of tea in bed every morning.

There's lots of things he does or has done but the biggest for me, was when my Nan was diagnosed with terminal cancer and needed constant care. When I said I was moving back in with her, he moved into her house with me and was amazing for the whole six months - he never moaned we had no us time or that I was an emotional wreck on the regular. He made sure to make my Nan laugh every day, did all the jobs that were getting her down to cheer her up without prompting and drove us wherever we needed to get to and at any time of day. He never left my side the whole time.

Makes me feel loved more than I have ever felt in my entire life (I'm 49 now) he makes me feel like I matter. He is very tactile and holds my hand, touches me when I pass (I'm a loving way).

We are a team and do things for each other, tea in bed, cook for each other etc

We have grown up children (him 3 and me 3) so have time for each other

He always rubs my back when we go to bed. Is forever ready to make me a cup of tea. Picks up my favourite bath bomb whenever he wanders by a Lush. Always checks in with me and makes sure I'm okay.

Today he woke me up with kisses and told me he loves me. Then he made me tea when he came down for breakfast (I'd gotten up early). Followed me upstairs and just sat with me to make sure I was okay when I started having a panic attack. And bought me birthday cake icecream :D

This sounds so lovely. As a single person, who has had a fair share of horrible dating experiences, and a very abusive marriage, I love stories like these.
Now alone with my son during lockdown, I often dream of the little things like a cup of tea made for me in the morning, or someone asking me how my day was. Your stories are lovely. Makes me have a little hope to someday find a person who would want to do these things for me.
Thanks for sharing!

Can I ask, when and how did you meet your partners?

Tulips on my doorstep today 😊

Came with me to help me with my animals in the poring rain, then made dinner when we got back as I was exhausted (not sleeping too well at the moment)

Picks up my meds, has been making sure I rest while I've been ill with CV. He keeps me company/monitors me while I cook to make sure I stay safe because I'm epileptic. When I'm ill, he can't cook but always makes sure there's money saved up for takeaways so we can eat and that I don't have to do it. Fully takes over childcare when I'm not well and ensures DC doesn't keep coming in and waking me up when I'm resting. He just looks after me, and anything I struggle with, he does. Generally without complaint too. Unless he's feeling anti-social and wants to stay home lol.

Today He:

Cleaned the litter tray
Cleaned the cat pee up
Fed the cat
Emptied the dishwasher
Done the recycling
Emptied the bin
Took the folded laundry to the bedroom
Made me multiple drinks
And offered to hoover....

Oooh, and gave me a neck massage, He actually offered

And he cleaned the toilet....

Bought me 20g of wildflower seeds. It was a little thing but it meant the world to me.

Ok techincally that's not today remind me to read threat titles properly in future XD today he has been making sure I rest again as I've been feeling rough again

Brings me breakfast in bed every morning (I'm not grand first thing).
Always ready to help when a job needs more strength.
Shovels my horses' shit!
Always has a hug to hand when I need one.
Cooks dinner.
Supports me in whatever I want to do.

Yes he's frustrating and infuriating and sometimes a man child, but I'm nowhere near perfect either and he puts up with my, um, idiosyncrasies

Normally he makes me lunch every day for work, buys me flowers once or twice a week, scratches my back for me, gets shit done without being nagged, tells me I'm the most beautiful woman in the world all the time.
Today he made me breakfast in bed, but my favourite thing was he tidied up the mess one of the kids made in our bedroom(it was trashed, and they've gone back to their mum's now without tidying it) He did it before bedtime so that I could relax without me having to say a word. Stuff like that is priceless to me.

Yesterday he:
Made me numerous cuppas. Walked dog. Saw to the baby and toddler whilst I went up for a sleep. Washed up. Played board games with teen stepchildren. Saw when I needed a cuddle.

I love how big a part making cups of tea is in all our lives and loves! My XH was brilliant at this, right to the end, and he still does it if he stays here for a family do. Makes me know that we’ll always be friends, which is lovely.

But my new DP brings me cookies with the tea, so he wins

My DH is at work today. He left the house at 5.30 and won't be back until 6.30pm. I went downstairs about half an hour ago and he'd got all my breakfast things out, and he had whipped up a pancake batter for me ❤️
Under the jug in the fridge was a little note telling me to have a lovely day.
I miss him today

I’m currently lying in bed with a brew while he sorts DS breakfast out.

He took the dogs out for a long walk at 6am, brought me a cuppa and left me in bed. Got home at 8.30, replaced the cold cuppa with a hot one and washed up whilst I stayed in bed

I forgot to say that he knows when I'm doing too much and gently reminds me, or finishes the job for me if he can.

Not reacting to my bullshit when I was being unreasonable, 10 weeks pregnant -_-

Pretending to enjoy the dinner I made even though I slipped with the cinnamon and it was minging

Washed and polished my car today. Makes me coffee and brought me a glass of wine. Yesterday made my breakfast and cleaned out the fridge.

He pays the bills and erm...
