Asking beyond the ‘he gets me a twix every Friday because I love them’ ...though I know those things matter too!

I don’t really have anything significant to recall as I’ve only had one good relationship. I’m hopeful there are other good men out there!

Seeing him sob over facetime as he was in Edinburgh with his friend and I was in hospital on the south coast where we live, he managed to get a flight home earlier than his original flight.
But he does many things and he won't let anyone shout at me.

For me, it's how he takes control of situations he knows I'm stressed about. Like, he came to my aunty's funeral after a long night shift because I didn't know where I was going or where to park and I was stressing out (it might sound pathetic but I do struggle with overthinking and anxiety).

He just makes an effort to make my life easier, doing things that he really doesn't have to do, and I honestly love him for that.

For me, it was the time my DP got back out of the car to come and open the door for me - I was stood there like Hyancinth Bucket

My DH used to do this for my nan. He would open the door, help her in, help her with her seat belt, and do it all in reverse the other end. My DS does it for her now when he drives her, it melts my heart.

He gets in bed first and warms my side up before I get in. He buys me Cadbury creme eggs and leaves them in my car. He wrote me lovely messages in the mirror so I see them when I get out of the shower.

Even tonight, we were having a bbq and it started raining, he stayed outside with a brolly abs cooked us tea whilst we sat and watched telly. He didn't moan once and took the piss as we were sat in the warm

Looked after me when I have been ill. He takes on everything gives me the time I need to recover and never complains. In these times when I have needed him he has shown he cares and I love him for it.

Went through a horrific emergency c section to deliver our son. Was extremely traumatised and I struggled to get a handle on what had happened. When I got out of the hospital bed for the first time, blood and various bodily fluids rushed out of me from (seemingly) every orifice. My (very squeamish) DH held me as I panicked, gently placed me back on the bed and cleaned me up. He was so gentle and tender with me, you'd think he'd been a trained nurse that had done it a million times before. In that moment of horror and fear, was a moment of exceptional love and I knew that this man would do absolutely anything for me. Even kneeling in my blood to protect and care for me.

He's generally very thoughtful, loving and kind but that was the deepest demonstration of his love for me.

Mine is similar to @dinosaurusmum although mine wasn't a traumatic labour. I was just absolutely exhausted and had no energy left. All through the night when I was having contractions and losing various amounts of bodily fluids, he was changing my pads for me. I remember trying to pull my pants down to do it whilst lying in bed and I just couldn't summon the energy, and he did it, changed the pad and dressed me again. It was then that I thought wow, this man really loves me. Which is a good job because a few hours later I was being stitched up like a teddy bear that had lost its arm because our son inherited his round head Grin

He loved me unconditionally from the moment we first met.

Before meeting him I had never experienced unconditional love. It has allowed me to work out who I am and begin to try and like myself in the way he likes me.

He also lets me help, love and look after him which makes me happy.

And he will always make me a cup of tea and carry heavy bags for me.

We have been together for 18 years and the love has never faded. He is the best person I have ever met.

I had a migraine in the night and had run out of painkillers.
DH drove around for an hour trying to find anywhere open. He couldn't. It's was 4am.
He knew our Sainsbury's opened at 6am so he sat in the car park for 2 hours till it opened, rushed in, bought me some migraleve and drove home. He said he couldn't come home without pain relief for me.
I couldn't believe he sat in a car park for 2 hours in the middle of Winter just to do that for me.
Not conventionally romantic but I've never forgotten him doing this for me.

Starts the shower for me when I get in from work after him & puts a fresh towel on the radiator

LaVitaPuoEsserePiuBella · 04/10/2020 22:50

Ex DP: cooked me an enormous steak with a huge pile of spinach when I came home from hospital after giving birth / bought me an Italian cookery course / walked the babies around in a sling in the evenings when I was done in from bf all day / lovely gym membership for my birthday.
I struggle to recognise him since he became an ex...

Yeahnahmum · 04/10/2020 22:56

Always putting me and my kids first. Making me feel like the most beautiful woman in the world (even though i am very average /ok looking ) making me feel the most loved person in the world. The best mum in the world. He makes me feel safe and steady and grounded and i can feel it in everything he does to me and for me.

My husband is the most warm calm kind honest thoughtful loving and caring man . He is by far the better person in our marriage 😊

wellingtonshat · 04/10/2020 23:13

Before we got together DH Carried me off a rugby pitch (I'm not exactly small!!!!!) when I twisted my knee and spent all afternoon waiting in a&e with me. He even had to help me to go the loo Blush
Over ten years later he still does lovely things but that afternoon sealed the deal for me.

GemmaFoster · 04/10/2020 23:20

We don’t live together but when my son was sectioned to a hospital 3 hours away he drove me up there twice a week to see him. I was broken and he just looked after me.
