Why do you want to know? Some context would be useful here

I wouldn't say my DH is romantic but he is thoughtful. He brings me a cup of tea in bed in the mornings. He booked me tickets to see a band I love for my birthday. He buys my favourite chocolate or a pastry he knows I like if he's shopping. It's the little things like that, that shows he's thinking of me.

Agree. I only eat one type of chocolate bar, and not very often, but it's always lovely when dp picks me one up while he's out. It's shows he pays attention.

Also, putting up with my mental family this Christmas, even though there might have been a break out of war, just to support one of my sisters. That was lovely of him. Luckily there was no war, but it seriously looked like there might be until Xmas day, and I know he'd rather we stayed at home. And so would I to be fair.

Leaves me a coffee ready every single morning and a full kettle when he leaves at 4 am, gets my fav cake now and then, randomly fills my car unasked, little things like that mean a lot to me

The little things are the best things aren’t they? That show you you’re seen/cared for. “You were working late last night, stay in bed and sleep - I’ll sort the kids”
“What a shit week you’re having, I’ve arranged for my mum to have kids so we can go out for dinner, cheer you up”
“I’ve cleaned all the bathrooms today” (every week, all 3, for 15 years 😍)
God I love that man 😂
