A happy thread!… little things DP does

[cranberryjuice3]

I thought a happy thread would be nice.

Yesterday my DP and I went to a pub to watch his favourite football team play. I came on unexpectedly and, without even batting an eyelid, he offered to run to the shop for me during the game to get tampons. He went off and came back with a bag of tampons, and a chocolate bar all during his football game and all with a smile on his face.

It made my day and I thought some of us could share some of the little things our DPs do or have done, just light hearted 😀

We got together at school and now in our mid-30s so literally grown up together. Fave thing about him is probably that he's an open communicator and always willing to talk things through and compromise. He's also able to see when things are sexist and never tries to belittle that fact - just agrees that it's bullshit. Love that about him. Very much in love with him.

He makes my favourite food on tricky days and brings me flowers just because he thinks I'd like them.

He doesn't let me get away with saying "I'm fine" or "nothing " when he asks what's wrong. He genuinely wants to check I'm ok and won't let go until I've told him. It's slowly deprogramming years and years of feeling like I had to be OK because exh was so broken there was no room for anyone else to not be ok.

There's lots of other little things but this is the one I'm grateful for today. I'm hormonal and stressed and keep feeling like bursting into tears and he's just chill and patient and lovely.

I definitely learned from my mistakes this time round.

He will do anything for me. Absolutely anything. And for the children.

He just does housework. Sees something needs to be done, just does it.

He’s taken on so much of the organising of my dad going into a care home, he visits him when I can’t face it, speaks to people on my behalf.

He’s grumpy, moody and can be a twat sometimes, but he would do anything for any of us at the drop of a hat.

Awww thanks @totallyoutnumbered he's amazing! My Ex-H was totally the opposite but this one is incredible - I could go on for ages all the lovely things he does. They are out there, it just took me quite a few years to find one!

Whenever DH goes to a shop, he always brings me something back. My favourite bottle of pop, a bar of chocolate, a cake, a magazine, bunch of flowers. Even if I've said there's nothing I need or want.

Every night he warms up a microwave heat pack thing for me to cuddle in bed. He goes downstairs and puts it in the microwave when I am cleaning my teeth.

Oh mine too!! I'm sure like me you pinch yourself every day. Mine thinks he's the lucky one but I know otherwise 😌
