I love my DH/FI/BF/SO because....

It's his day off and he chooses to cook me my favorite meal of homemade chicken fingers.

So are the little things your DH/FI/BF/SO does that puts a smile on your face???






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.

Re: I love my DH/FI/BF/SO because....

  • He tells me I'm pretty every day we're together.

  • He takes care of all the laundry except my nice work clothes. He folds all the towels and puts them away. He washes all the dishes (we don't have a dishwasher). He tells me a silly goodnight poem he made up for me every night. He runs me a bath when he knows I've had a long day.

  • he sends me TMs throught the day to tell me he loves me.  Everyday

  • He loves my cat as much as I do. He takes him to the vet because FI's work schedule is more flexible than mine.

    He does the dishes after I cook.

    He gives me back rubs in the morning.

  • Aw, these are so sweet.  I love him because he got my children all involved in a Mother's Day surprise for me.   He also rents movies that he thinks I'll like and is absolutely delighted when I love a movie that is one of his favorites.  He's also very kind to his mother, which makes me believe that when I'm a little old lady, he'll be kind to me, too.

  • Because EVERY SINGLE MORNING, I get a text or email that says "Good morning princess"

    And I always get kisses for no reason, all the time.

    I love these ladies..

    It's awesome to know that we all have different likes and/or things that just makes us us and we can find someone who 'gets' it..

  • He laughs at me when I freak the  fuuck out over nothing when he probably has every right to tell me I'm a dumb ass.

    He tells me I'm beautiful on the regular. 

    He's the best father I could have ever imagined.

    He laughs at my jokes.
  • FI also randomly makes this one silly face that always makes me laugh. We'll be doing nothing, riding in the car, watching tv, whatever, and I just look over and there's this face. I lose it every time. He says he does it because I have a good laugh and he likes to hear it.

  • Biggest Reason: He's always in my corner, but not afraid to stand up to me when he thinks I'm wrong.

    Oh, and the latest reason I love him: "Can we register at Napa Auto Parts?"

    Stop The Drama!

    image Love people. Use things. Never confuse the two.
  • He always remembers to run the dishwasher just as I use the last fork.
    He keeps my penny pinching in check and reminds me to buy little presents for myself.
    He calls anyone I ask him too because he knows I have a phobia of the phone, and doesn't make fun of me for it.
    He always says a situation is going to be ok, and it  always is in the end.
    He works 4am - 2pm shifts so I can have a job that I love, but that pays less than my old job.
    He loves my cat, even when she hacks up a hairball on his shoes or falls asleep in his shirt drawer (resulting in black fur covered shirts)
  • Ok, real reasons I love the guy:

    He's my perfect opposite.

    He's calm when I'm anxious.

    I'm outgoing, he's shy.

    He's the most self-less giving person I know and always puts others before himself.

    He does cute and nice things just because.

    He calls me all sorts of stupid names, and comes up with new ones daily (Think like...Peanut Butter, Rudy, Lois, spark plug, human dynamo....)

    Most of all, he'd do anything in the world to put a smile on my face.

    i've been sick as a dog the past 4 days and have doctors orders to stay home tomorrow and possibly Wednesday too.  He's taken great care of me and made sure I have everything I need.

    He also went with me when I had to get bloodwork done a few weeks ago and held my hand.  He didn't make me feel bad for crying (I have a HUGE phobia of needles .I can't even describe how bad it is) and took me out for IHOP for breakfast afterwards to make me feel better.

    this... I do not actually laugh out loud a lot... but he always finds a way to make me belly laugh... I love him for that.

  • Awww...some good stuff =)

    FI texts me randomly daily to tell me he loves me or that I'm beautiful...or something completely off the wall that he knows I'll laugh at.

    He loves animals as much as I do.

    He does things sometimes I know he doesn't want too...but just because I want too and he knows it'll make me happy.

    He helps around the house.

    I know there's a ton more...
  • Right?!

    And he dances. Not only with me, but if I'm having a bad day, he'll come home and we'll dance it out, Grey's style. He's got some pretty sweet maneuvers.

  • He is always thinking of me.  He'll get me Grey's Wii games and surprises me with a Snickers bar when he goes to the store. 

    He can't wait to be a dad!

    He makes me laugh every single day!

  • Every night, J heats up this hot/cold pack I put on my head (helps me go to sleep). He calls it "his burden," and gets offended if I try to do it myself.

    If I haven't eaten dinner when he gets home (around 9:45), he'll offer to go back out and pick up anything I want or make anything I want for dinner.

    He drove 16 hours to meet someone he'd only talked to online and on the phone, because he was positive he would like me.  He sent me flowers that arrived before he did, saying he couldn't wait to meet me.

    He took care of me when I broke my ribs on our first vacation together.

    He stays calm when I lose my temper - at least, he's calmer than me.

    He stayed with me in the room with Maggie and held my hand (and hand a hand on her) when I knew it was the last place in the world he wanted to be when we had her euthanized. And he kept me occupied all that afternoon because I wasn't ready to come home.

    I can tell him anything, and he's my best friend.

  • He always kisses me goodbye in the morning (he works days, I work nights)
    He goes out of his way to make me do something for myself.
    He loves me for the crazy person I am.
    and surprised me today with a Lottery scratcher:)

    i love my Fi because he brings me flowers when i'm really sad or sick... and if he goes out to the store he'll bring me home carmel chocolates and chocolate milk :)

    ok i'm gonna edit to add serious stuff :
    whenever there's a problem he calms me down and lets me know it'll all be ok.

    he'll bend over backwards, sideways and in a ball for his family and mine.

    he's a wonderful father to his children and i know he'll be a wonderful father when we have babies.

    he never asks me to do yard work and always cleans the bathtub!

    ooh and he records parts of my fave songs and text messages them to me :)

  • He is hilarious and always makes me smile.  He calms me down and reassures me.
  • he reaches things that are up high (I'm 5'0 he's 6'8) he also baits my hook for me when we go fishing

  • He just asked me if I wanted to last S'more granola bar before he ate it :).

    He says one of his main goals in life is to make me laugh--which he does all day!  He does good impressions, like Sean Connery!

  • Well, I didn't want to be the first to say "he's good in the sack," but . . . .

    He knows that when I'm sick all I want is ginger ale, and he goes out of his way to aquire it for me.

    He makes me laugh every day.

    He participates in spontaneous dance parties with me.

    He's my BFF. :)
  • These are so sweet.
    I love my FI because he puts up with all my craziness.
    He tells me he loves me everyday even when he is in front of his friends
    He tries to surprise me with something almost every week even little things.
    We joke around together all the time
    I can tell him anything
    He takes care of me when I am down.

  • More I thought of:

    He drove 2 hours each way to take me to get my root canal because I'm terrified of dentists and didn't want to go alone.
    He came home from work early when my Mary collapsed, drove us to the vet and sat in the room holding my hand as we put her down. He never once made me feel silly for crying so hard over a pet rat and doesn't make fun of me when I still cry because I miss her and her sisters. He also took Honey to the vet after she passed away in the night while I sat at home and broke down because I couldn't handle having 3 pets and 2 grandparents die within a 5 month period.
    He cried when I passed out after falling out of a hammock because he was scared of losing me after we had been dating 4 months.
    He has never once made me feel like our ttc troubles were my fault.

  • He makes me smile/laugh when I've had a bad day.

    He treats my son like he is his own.

    When Wii Fit Plus was sold out (like even online), he called every store within a 100 mile radius and ended up driving about 75 miles to get me one - and doesn't fuss that I never use it anymore :)

    He always brings me chocolate when he runs to the store.

    I can tell him anything AT ALL and, even though he will probably pick on me, never judges.

    He is always on my side, even when I'm wrong. However, when we have a disagreement he stands up to me.

    He works ungodly hours so I could quit my job and focus on my last year of college.

    He babies me when I'm sick and takes care of my son so I can rest and not have to worry about giving whatever I have to the little one.

    There is tons more, but to sum it up, He is my best friend and the only person that gets me.

  • He's just awesome. He takes the dogs out when I don't wanna and puts up with me when I whine. He cuddles with me every night before bed and says "good night beautiful." He let me watch the LOST finale last night even though he doesn't like the show.
