What small, dull, mundane things make you love your DP?

I don't mean big things like him being a good father or a loving partner.

I mean little things that just make you think "I'm glad I stuck with you" and "life would be just a little bit worse without you doing XYZ" a couple of times per day.

For me...
My DP is freakishly good at making up rhymes and limericks on the spot. They're always rude and very often offensive about people (including me and him) and really make me laugh. Life would be much duller without his impromptu poems.

DP is also amazing at making cups of tea. He's a scientist so I don't know whether it's many years of lab work measuring things out and stirring things but his teas are fantastic even though he's not been in a lab for about six years. Life would be considerably worse without his tea-making. Even I can't make tea for myself as well as he does.

What about you?

He brings me a cup of tea in bed every morning, has done so for the 32 years we've been together.

He's a brilliant dad to our three grown up sons and they adore him.

I love his sense of humour. Yesterday we went to do the food shop together. Normally I do it but he decided to tag along and we went to a big out of town shopping centre.

When we got there he decided to park in the underground car park. As we drove in, just for fun I started singing 'Going Underground'. Without missing a beat he said 'Hope you put Jam on the shopping list!' Grin

He always opens the car door for me!

When the batteries run out in my Bluetooth speaker when I'm in the bath he launches himself up the stairs with replacements and puts the dead ones in the charger for me so that I can still have The Chicks singing at me in the bath.
