Tell me something lovely your OH has done for you

[Cheeseandcrackers40]

Doesn't have to be today, can be big or small. Just nice to have some positivity!

I'm full of cold and feeling like crap today. I really fancied baked beans with my dinner and thought we had some in. My OH had to leave for work in 30 mins but upon seeing my disappointment drove to the shop to buy me some, dropped them off and went to work. Honestly it's the little things!!

So tell me the small (or big) acts of love from your OH 😊

I could write loads about my DH

Big one - he once randomly took a detour I wasn’t expecting on the way home with the kids in the back of the car. Claimed he had to pick up a camera he’d sent for repair. All lies. He’s bought a print, of a painting by a local artist I like, of the pub where we went on our first date.

Small ones - brings me a coffee in bed if he’s off to work early; sneaks me chocolate out to the garden when I’m busy; always checks in and says he loves me, even if he’s out with his pals.

He’s an all round good egg and I love him to bits.

Haha. He isn’t into me 🤣 but he’ll definitely make someone a good husband one day.

Mine has just driven to Tesco (10 mile round trip) because I want a Magnum and there aren't any in the freezer.

I'm feeling very fond of him right now, and looking forward to him coming home (with my ice cream).

Oh, forgot this one. I once had to attend a work meeting in the town DH works in.

During his break, he walked down to the office car park and left a red rose in my car 😍.

Just today mine brought me a cup of tea in bed this morning, fed all the animals, spent all afternoon sorting out curtain poles and a crumbling wall (don't ask!) then hung both pairs of curtains and he's now in the kitchen cooking us a Chinese dinner for two 😁.
Btw...we don't live together yet so this is my house, animals etc and we're both in our early fifties

We have two small kids and always head the stories about not giving the mum a break from kids etc. to counterbalance that..always makes me a lovely cooked breakfast when I go for a bottomless brunch with the girls or away for the weekend. Never complains or moans about my ‘me time’ and actively encourages it.

My DH bought himself an electric car recently. He was so excited about it, loves the thing, but tells me to drive it at least half of each week because I have a longer route to work than him on those days. Just never expected that level of generosity!

I've had a cold all week and up a lot last night with the kids. I was so tired this morning! He took them into town, the aquarium, for lunch, ice cream.. I had 6 blissful hours to myself!

He bought me a Mulberry handbag for Christmas to show his appreciation of all the caring, I do for the family! (That was an almost unimaginable stretch for him)

So bloody smooth!

Flew my best friend over from Europe to be with me on my birthday. Paid for theatre tickets and had all the food and snacks ready for us for when he brought her to the house (secretly) from the airport.

@bifurCAT that is wonderful -

I was feeling shit yesterday - day 2 of heavy period. I took the 2 DC out (3 of us on half term) and text DH to say I was feeling crap. When I got home (he WFH) he took the kids over and had made up a bed for me on the sofa. He then ordered pizza for us all.

I'm not very well. He came home from working away yesterday with a cherry Bakewell bun for medicinal purposes.

I always have cold feet so every night when we get into bed he wraps my feet up in his to warm them up. He tucks me up tightly in the duvet when he gets up early for work and makes the best cup of tea. He’s a much better person than me.

Oh this just made me smile - that's proper friendship :)

Not an OH as such but the bloke I’m dating did 3 tip runs with me yesterday as I’m moving house and was just completely lovely about it all.

Lovely thread.

I'm very lucky with my DP. He is always doing sweet things. This week he popped to the shops just to get some soup and crumpets (I was feeling unwell and it was all I felt like eating), he'd already done the shop that morning. Today he got me some flowers just because.

This is a really lovely thread.

Today I've been absolutely knackered, and he's gone out of his way to make sure I rest. Secretly bought me a very fancy bar of chocolate from the cheese shop earlier. Ran me a bath and set the bathroom up with candles and incense, then came and sat with me for a while as I relaxed. Played his violin for me. Then later he let me choose the spooky French vampire film, and gave me a massage. Earlier he sorted all of the food and insisted I lay down and just read my book.

He's lovely. Does this sort of thing all of the time, and I'm very lucky. Think I'm going to drive out to pick up his favourite tea tomorrow. We're off work all week so I might bake him some cinnamon buns, too.

There's bigger stuff, of course. He built me a summerhouse thing to sit and read and write in, and filled it with plants. Told me we were just going away camping for a few days (pre-kids), and had actually booked a treehouse Airbnb in the middle of Wales. He's always written me love letters, even now after ten years.

I was in the kitchen one day and the biggest spider I’ve ever seen appeared on the wall. Huge horrible thing (and in London so not exactly exotic!!), and DP was at work until late. No neighbours to ask for help or friends etc nearby. Rang him in a state (it was so big I couldn’t cope with thinking it was running around the flat) and I’d frozen staring at it from the safety of the hallway. He was home within 40mins and removed it, then went back to work. I have no idea what he told his manager (he was working in a warehouse at the time) but I couldn’t believe that he came all the way home to do that for me 😊

When he buys me flowers he goes to a florist and picks out the different flowers he wants and asks the florist to make them into a bouquet rather than picking up a ready made bunch. When DS was about 15 he took him with him to the florist to show him how to choose flowers for women. When DD was a teenager he’d sometimes buy her flowers for no particular reason too. All helps to set high expectations for future partners. DD married a man just like her dad who treats her with such love and respect (and buys her flowers every Friday!).

There have been hundreds of things over the years though. He secretly phoned my boss to book the day off work for me the day after my birthday so he could take me away for a surprise night in a hotel. We went out for a meal to the lovely hotel on my birthday and at the end of the evening we went back to the car and he got a bag out of the boot and told me that we were staying the night.

When I had the worst flu of my life I couldn’t eat anything and was even struggling to drink water. He kept going out to buy different drinks to try to get me to drink. I’d have a few sips and then not manage any more so he’d go out again to get something different until he found something I could tolerate.

When DD was a teenager he got her to talk him through different make up products and brands so he could buy me some for my Christmas stocking. He’s a dab hand around a Mac counter these days!!

I could go on……! He’s one in a million and I’m still in love with him after 35 years together.

Mine drove me 90 minutes this morning to a fair in a venue I hadn't been to before and was a bit nervous about finding parking for ( I don't do strange city centres well!)

He had to get up at 5.45am to take me and then collected me to bring me home this evening.

Just one of many things he does for me without complaint, and I admit I do take shameful advantage at times. Mind you I would do the same for him!

He told me to go back to bed this morning as I didnt feel 100%, even though DC were being reaaaally hard work. I wouldn't have fancied wrangling them both by myself! That extra hour of sleep was exactly what I needed.

I also don't remember the last time I took my car for a service or MOT. He always sorts it out for me and doesn't even mention it.

Drove home from DD's today with DGSs (yup - twins!) and DH ran me the deepest, hottest bath for when I got home 😍xxx

I like that many of these are "he brings me food" 😂

Mine is no different! Tonight, after hours at an outdoors event where the heavens opened up and our feet got thoroughly drenched and we were both shivering in inappropriate clothes, we came home to cuddle and dry off in a warm bed. We discussed our options for dinner - he went back out into the cold and wet to get food from a takeaway, where he asked them for me what was vegan. We've just had a lovely, warm meal and now I'm feeling a bit more human.
