Lovely little things your partner does

[Littlehiccups33]

Mine fills up my hot water bottle for me and constantly gives me back rubs when I’m in pain.eg last night at 3 in the morning I woke up in pain he rubbed my back until I fell asleep. He also knows I’m a weakling and always carry’s the shopping upstairs for me. Yesterday the the car was full and I was having a pain attack almost being sick in the car he took me inside let me lay down while he took all the bags in the ran me a bath. I don’t no what I would do with out him.

Mmmm, I’m still thinking ...

I don't have a partner but a good friend surprised me with some gloves yesterday and I nearly cried cos it was the most thoughtful thing someone has done for me in a long time.
Enjoy your thoughtful partners!

He reads to me.

I love reading but I'm sometimes too unwell to focus/make out on the words.

He also does all the voices. :o

We don't live together but when I'm with him he always cooks for me from scratch, won't let me help and will keep my glass topped up.whilst he's cooking 😁
I wash up and am more than happy with the arrangement. He loves cooking and enjoys having an appreciative audience, something which was lacking with his ex, silly woman!!
He's also very thoughtful when it comes to planning trips away, evenings out etc, something I never got from my ex.

I got divorced from my ex for many reasons and wouldn’t have been able to give any examples of nice things he did. Just been away for the weekend with my new boyfriend.. he made me coffee in bed, got up with me this morning at 5am because I felt unwell, tucked me back in to bed later when I felt better and then made me breakfast!!! I think I’m in love 😍

Suprises me with flowers and my favourite chocolate, carries the shopping bags and pushes the trolley and plays video games with me and cheers me on when I win 🤣

“Gives you clues on how to spot one”

Does it?

Patronising and naive

As someone who is been in and ended an abusive relationship I can tell you there were many times he did all this sort of thing for me so he could do the shit stuff and think he’d get away with it

These are all so lovely

Let’s me lie in on Sunday’s and wakes up with little one
If little one wakes during night he deals with that
Picks up the takeaways
Helps with household chores
Runs things by me all the time
Occasionally makes a hot water bottle for me
Keeps the house tidy
Takes the bins out, I’ve never done it

My OH is so kind and generous, he gets up with the children every schoolday morning to do their breakfast and packed lunches and makes me laugh all the time.

Lets me sleep in at weekends.
Picks up takeaways so I can stay home and warm.
Makes me coffee in the mornings.
Takes the bins out and sorts the recycling every week.
Lights the fire so when I get home from work, the house is warm.
Feeds my cats and sorts their litter trays every morning.
Walks the dog for me when the weather is horrendous.

Yesterday I strained my back - he automatically took over the job I was doing, did all the housework all weekend without being asked, cooked me pizza for dinner and even came to work with me this morning to help with the dogs.

He's a good egg. I feel very lucky to have him :)

I just feel so lucky to have met him after a string of bad relationships last night he woke up when I went to take my meds as soon as I was back in bed he was rubbing my back asking if I needed anything even though it was 4 in the morning

Mine is consistently kind and patient. He thinks about things that will improve my everyday existence and actions them

DH is lovely, brings me tea & toast in bed every morning, makes my lunch (he works from home) cooks dinner for the family every night. I have a disability so he is always on hand to help if I need him too & take me to appointments etc.

Tea in bed every weekday morning even though I am a SAHM and he works.

De-ices my car, told our teenage sons where the secret stash of my favourite chocolate is for when I am on my period, attaches TENs machine pads onto me and plugs my wires into the TENs machine when I am on my period, will run me a bath, wash my hair. Gives great foot massages.

Takes the boy's birthdays off work every year and mine too. Goes out to pick up the takeaway even in rain and snow. Cooks on a weekend as I tend to do it all week. Helps the boys with their homework on subjects I cannot do (A level further maths).

And I think my absolute favourite is every night he undoes my bra and gives me a lovely back scratch until I melt from the loveliness. We have been married 21 years.

Loads the kids into car seats as it hurts my back. Let's me have a nap when I need it. Drives my mum shopping. Does the school runs. Changes the beds for me as it hurts my back aswell. Extremely patient and never pressurises me to do things I don't want to do i.e going places. Never complains if I ask to go somewhere then don't even get out of the car due to my disability. Put the Christmas tree up for me this year

My DP has bought me flowers every two weeks or so since we started dating 🌼 we have a DD who will be three months old soon, and he took every Friday off work for the rest of this year as annual leave so that he can get up with her during the night and give me a proper rest. He always overly compliments my minor achievements. He is unashamedly affectionate and refuses to let me carry any shopping bags even though he knows I am perfectly capable.💖

What a lovely thread. As someone who was in a bad marriage two years ago I met the guy of my dreams. He does loads of little things like makes me a cup of tea in bed. At the weekend he cooks me full breakfast. One of my favourite things is when I'm working late he has my pjs on the radiator when I come home.

That is one of the loveliest things ever. Toasty pyjamas.

I do have to say that Dh does do lovely things for me, I also do lovely things for him too, it is a two way street. I feel very lucky to have found him, but I think I deserve him after the shithead boyfriends I had before him.

Works long hours, empties the rubbish, puts the bins out and sorts house admin and pays the bills as well as any diy. He will also do the big food shop and take our toddler while I stay at home with our youngest but has offered to take the baby too. He will go to the shops on request if I’m fancying chocolate or anything and will get anything for me even if he is tired.

Agree it is a two way street as I also do nice thoughtful things for him too like cook his favourite meals etc

He bring me breakfast in bed every morning, nothing fancy, just cereal and a coffee but he knows I’ll have been up with the baby in the night.
He’s not the best at expressing his emotions, his parents didn’t really demonstrate love to him or his sister and he’s been making a real effort lately to communicate better with me, I know it’s hard for him and I love him for trying.

Cooks for me all the time, and will make whatever I want (this is a double edged sword as it does mean I have to choose what to eat all the time, whereas sometimes I'd just like him to say we're having xyz for dinner. And it is hard to lose weight when he's preparing delicious meals daily!)

Puts air in my tyres for me.

When I can't sleep and get into what I can best describe as 'fussy baby' mode (when they get overtired, irritable and fidgety ) rubs my back until I drop off.

Tells me I am beautiful every day.

Been married many years and DH does many little things that shows he does care, we have ups and downs like everyone, but the one thing he does without even thinking is totally support me, who I am and what I want to do. I love him so much for this.

He cooks almost every night, brings me a coffee in bed every morning, always insists I'm on the inside of the pavement when we're walking anywhere, takes care of me when I'm ill, does the majority of heavy/grim jobs around the house and would do pretty much anything for me, if asked.

I try and be just as attentive in return but I don't think I quite match up.

I've been trying to figure out what the catch is (because surely I can't be this lucky?) but no sign of one yet
