Mom-ninja. Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I figured it was only fair we also talk about what your significant other does for you that makes you feel loved. :) My dh: Does not ever ever complain about something not being done like dinner or laundry. He will simply do it himself. Listens quietly when I rant and rage about the kids Listens to me debate with myself over which curricula to get Randomly brings me home treats like B&J ice cream Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Girls' Mom Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 hmmm.... He works hard at a job he doesn't love to provide for us. He tells me that once the kids are grown he doesn't want me to go to work, but rather be a full time artist :D. He is very supportive of our homeschool. He's a good dad that loves his daughters. He has a kind heart, especially towards the elderly. He never lets a day go by without hugs, kisses and "I love you" He forgave me for something huge, and took me back..unconditionally. He makes me know that he loves me for better AND for worse, no matter what. He is awesome in the kitchen when it comes to making sweets.

********* Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 My dh is currently upstairs watching an episode of 'Survivor Man' with the boys. I'm down here. And it's quiet. :001_wub: (Sometimes, a little peace and quiet is really all I need.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LMD Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Loves to spend time with me. And he supports me 100% and helps me to acheive. eg. He supports me in learning piano (bought me a brand new one :001_wub:) from scratch, listens to me practice, doesn't complain about me buying resources, encourages me in taking exams etc. Homeschooling is a similar example. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caitilin Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 My dh cooks dinner once or twice a week; picks up our raw milk every week, though it is out of his way; schleps kids around as much as his schedule allows; like a PP, he forgave me a big mistake, and loves me just the same; reads to the kids every night; makes sure I get time off on Saturdays to be alone; helps with housework; calls me from work to say good morning; does car and house repairs or makes sure they get done; works a job that sucks to take care of us; tells me what a good job I do with the kids' schooling; brings me treats from the store; tells me how beautiful he thinks I am every day; and many, many other other small things that really are very large. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shellers Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 My DH: He does the dishes a few times a week. He makes sure I have a spare chocolate bar on hand in my hiding spot. He rubs my foot when it hurts. He watches all my trashy reality shows with me and doesn't complain, he'll even talk to me about the shows. :) He keeps an emergency stick of Burt's Bees Lip Shimmer on hand in case I run out. He supports me 100% homeschooling our kids. He texts me several times a day to say, "I love you". On cold mornings he builds a fire for me before he goes to work.

Hen Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 he treats me like I'm special, and does manual labor stuff for me, like putting gas in my car, carrying things for me, washing/caring for my car, opening doors, doing anything yukky or outside. He doesn't complain when I get behind on laundry, but just starts doing loads himself. He is always complimenting me. He will pour me a diet coke, pick up goodies I like at the store, my favorite lavender soup at Trader Joe's. He gives the best big hugs. He demands the kids jump to it when I ask them to do something, is the heavy if they have bad attitudes about homeschooling, he enforces an air of "you don't mess with mama- treat her well" that I really appreciate. he does all the tech stuff for my, fixes computer problems, my iphone problems..things that yeah, I could research and figure out, but he just does them for me. the biggest thing: he encourages me to take time to be creative and pursue art...but I don't actually do it, but he keeps encouraging me. It's really uplifting to know that he believes I can do great things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Rat Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 My wonderful husband never complains when I rearrange the closets for the 400th time that month and he can't find anything. I'm a touch OCD. ;) He completely understands that I get crazy around lots of people and tries to make sure I don't have too many busy place activities on the weekends. He can just tell when I have a migraine and automatically gets me a wet washcloth. Oh, and he knows I can't stand extended jam band jams (45 minute Phish jams, for example) so he only plays them in his car when I'm not there. Now, THAT'S love!

Scarlett Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Without reading replies because I get distracted....:D He feeds me ice cream from his bowl because I won't get my own because I don't want to get fatter. (because everyone knows calories from someone else's bowl don't count) He smiles HUGELY at me when he walks in the door. Doesn't matter if it has been a week since he saw me or 5 minutes. He holds my hand in public. He laughs at my jokes He kisses me. Often. He worships with me. This is HUGE to me. I have much more but will start to look ridiculous if I keep on. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalicoKat Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 He makes me a perfect cup of coffee in the morning before he makes his own. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In the Rain Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 He puts gas in my car. :001_wub: He brings me flowers for no reason at all. He brought me a chocolate cake on the day I failed my allergy test. :001_smile: He made dairy free chocolate chip cookies on the day dd failed her allergy test, the week after I failed the dairy allergy test. :001_smile: :001_smile: He does a lot of other things too, but those came to mind.

herkey6 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I complain and argue with him about way too many stupid things...This is what I am thinking as I read what everyone has written. My Dh supports me in every way. All I have to do is say it, and if he can do it, he does. I should do this more for him. Occasionally he will write notes to me. He is in a haiku stage right now! :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elegantlion Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 My dh: makes coffee every morning He kisses me good-bye every morning at 5:30, even though I'm still asleep. I do notice if he forgets, really, even though I'm asleep. He complimented me on homeschooling and parenting this weekend He didn't open his mouth during dinner tonight even though it was not something he was excited about. he lets the dog go berserk every day when he comes home. He's not as big a fan as she thinks he is. She's like a toddler who hasn't seen him in ages. She's my dog, so that makes me feel loved. He texts me when he is on the way home from work everyday He hasn't killed my annoying cat yet :) He never complains about my weight He flirted with me in the grocery the other day. We never go to the grocery together, it was a treat He's not afraid of household chores He let me pick the paint color for the kitchen cabinets even though he knew he'd hate it. It's a very light turquoise blue, almost white. It's stunning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joker Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 He knows I would rather have flowers more than anything else...and brings them to me often He listens to me go on and on about things he really doesn't care about He prays with dds every single night (and he's an atheist) He reads a loud to dds every single night (and there are lots of laughs) He knows when we go to the movies that I like Gummi Bears and always "surprises" me with them He does the dishes (which I hate) and leaves the laundry alone (which I love) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justamouse Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Everything. Even when we are having the worst of fights, I know he loves me and his loyalty is like nothing I've ever experienced. But the most amazing thing is that he is always trying to be a better person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolphin Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 He will make a total fool of himself, just to see me smile. He always let me hug him as long as I NEED to when he gets home. He lets me talk about these boards with him He gets up in the night with the kids. He would do anything for me. We always say that we are both wrapped around each others fingers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audrey Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 There are too many things to list. There are no big displays of anything in our marriage. It is all a million little things. Every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alenee Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 He loves me unconditionally and forgave me a huge fault. He tells me he loves me constantly. When having a fight once, he yelled at me and said, "I'm not your dad! I will NEVER leave you!" He isn't mad that I'm not a perfect housekeeper. He stands up for me. He takes over chores that I typically do myself so I can have a break. He stopped acting like my "me-time" was a favor from him. ;) He's proud of my accomplishments both as a mother and wife, and as a woman, and he tells me so. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myfunnybunch Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Mine makes me coffee every morning. That's all I really need. :D He also helps clean the house on Saturdays, cooks dinner three nights a week, and listens when I need to vent. He's a really good man.

DaffodilDreams Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 (edited) He leaves before I'm awake, but he always has the coffee pot ready for me to just press on when I wake up. He keeps my car gassed up. (I thought this was unique to him, but after reading other replies, it seems to be a guy thing - a way of taking care of us?) He's my biggest fan - okay, 2nd biggest. Dd is still my biggest fan at this point. I expect those positions may switch in a few years. He keeps me supplied with wine and dark chocolate. He buys hardbacks of my favorite authors when he sees new releases in the bookstore. He doesn't grumble too much when we acquire new pets. He takes me to the mountains as often as he can. Etc. He does plenty to make me grumble, but I'm fortunate that the list of random acts of love could continue for awhile.

KidsHappen Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Right now he literally does everything (except laundry because he is color blind) as I sit on the couch waiting to get better. I know I am tired of waiting and he has to be tired of carrying the whole load but he rarely complains and just plugs on. Everyone agrees that he is a good man and I am a lucky woman.

Mom-ninja. Posted January 31, 2012 Author Share Posted January 31, 2012 He kisses me good-bye every morning at 5:30, even though I'm still asleep. Same here. :001_smile: In 13 years of marriage, so far, he has not once neglected to give me a goodbye kiss. Even if we're mad at each other, I still get that morning good bye kiss. I remembered one from when I was pg. During my first two pgs I had long hair, and I was sick all day every day. There were a few times that he held my hair back out of the way while I vomited. Now that is love. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
