What sweet things has SO done for you?

I got inspired from a few threads on here about significant others so I wondered: What is something your significant other has done in the past for you? It can be big or small, everything counts!

Six months into dating I went on a two-week trip ti various parts of Europe. FI wasn't able to go but he made sure that I would think of him every day. Starting from my cell phone case to my back-up sneakers FI laced my luggage with little notes for me. Everyday I found a new note! I've collected them and will fan them out next to our rings for the photographer to use for the wedding.

When I caught the flu I was downright miserable but FI made it better by reading to me The Adventures of Frog and Toad. It didn't hurt that he looks incredibly sexy with his glasses on!

And last night I was stuck at the grocery store stuck in line. I called FI to let him know I was going to be a little late. Sensing the stress in my voice he left work and surprised me in line! Such a little action but it totally brightened my day and mood.

What are your stories? :) 

Re: What sweet things has SO done for you?

  • FI is very thoughtful and does a lot for me without even thinking about it--he cleaned my bathroom a few weekends ago (I've claimed one of our upstairs bathrooms as "mine" and there always ends up being makeup on the counter).  Today when he came home from work and gave me a starbucks card he had bought for me earlier that day since he knows I drink coffee every day.

    He'll go get me a soda after a really hard workout from across the street (since we don't keep it in the house), which is totally unnecessary but really sweet.  I'm a lucky woman!
  • My husband isn't romantic at all.  Just not his thing.

    However, he does cook dinner for me most nights.   Tonight he cooked beef roast and green beans for my mom and me.  Why it's nice is because he can't eat red meat after 6pm or he gets weird dreams.   So while we ate the beef he had frozen shrimp tempura from Trader Joe's. Ha.  Pretty much everyday he will cook something I like and also something he likes.

    Oh and he clean up the kitchen tonight.  That almost never happens.






    What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests.  Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated.

    My FI is really sweet. He is off every weekend, and i have to work most weekends. He almost always has the house super clean when i come home and dinner is ready so i dont have to worry about much when i get home. He says he knows how hard i work during the week and wants to give me a break. He is also an amazing dad. We have two boys, he always goes in 50/50 with all the responsibilities. Also on sundays he will let me sleep in and he will get up with the kids at 6:30 am. I let him sleep in on saturdays . Not too many guys will share all the responsibilities!
  • the one that made me fall hard for FI was about a month into dating him I was working OOT over the weekends (pretty much did every weekend, and that usually killed any relationship I tried to be in).  Anyway, it was right after Valentine's Day and I usally would just park at the airport, but he insisted on dropping me off/picking me up.  Well my return flight was delayed so I called to tell him and just said I'd call him when we actually landed... so we finally get back home, and I go to call him but my phone wasn't getting service after turning it on after we landed...and I didn't know his number by heart!  My friend I was traveling with said she would take me home, but I stilled stressed not being able to call him.  Anyway, we get to baggage claim and phoe still not working--all of a sudden I have this guy hugging me from behind--and yes it was him-- he was smart enough to just check my flight status and saw when we landed so headed to the airport--even parked to meet me inside (I thought for sure he's just pick me up on the curb haha) Anyway, that was the moment I knew he was different and couldn't let him get away...3 yrs later he still does sweet things for me and lets me know how much I am loved.  My friend still talks about that day too!
