Nicest thing that SO did lately?

levieenrose · August 2014

Wedding planning is so stressful, but your SO makes it all worth it, right?

I've been with my partner (recently DH) for 7 years and he continues to surprise me with new forms of generosity and thoughtfulness I hadn't expected. I've been down about ending my last job contract two weeks after we returned from our honeymoon. Yesterday he reminded me that I was the most important thing in his life and as long as we had each other and he could make me happy he'd be just fine forever. He may not always think that sentiment or mean it exactly like that, but he really did when he said it yesterday.

So, any little or big moments of, "Awww!" where s/he made your heart melt a little?

Congrats on your marriage!

Wine. My FI always brings me home wine

But as far as stuff FI has said lately, the other day we were joking around and I blurted out "I am more than the sum of my parts, you know!" and he took me, kissed me on the forehead and said "I would kiss your brain if I could." Such a weirdo but it was very touching.

Aww. DH cooked me my favorite chicken parmesan for my birthday dinner. It was fabulous. He makes it the beast.

FI is mowing the lawn and eradicating our 6-foot tall dandelions this morning. At least the grass is shorter, and we just got the weed trimmer, and the dandelions are around the back of the house ... but at least now I won't have to know they're there.

FI had flowers sent to my office on Thursday. He knows I not-so-secretly enjoy making all the other ladies jealous.

Last night FI and I were cuddled in bed, and he says to me "You know, sometimes you make no sense to me, but I'm excited that I get to spend the rest of my life figuring it out." I have a tendency to go on random tangents when we talk, he doesn't always understand the connections/ jumps that I make. It made me go AWWWW!

KeptInStitches · August 2014

Mmm. FI now smells like distressed grass. And he said all the weeds are gone, after a tank of gas just in the weed trimmer, 3 refills of trimmer line, and 1.5 hours. I owe him big-time.

I got home at FI had washed and folded almost all of the laundry, and cleaned most of the house.

I'm super hungover today after the Luke Bryan concert last night. FI had to work and just came home with a giant diet coke, hash browns and a bagel for me from DD. He knows breakfast and diet coke are my hangover cures. He's a keeper

Luke Bryan is amazing live!

Super jealous. Also your FI is awesome.

My FI spent hours designing the perfect cake because he wanted it to be a perfect representation of us. My shaggy bearded, hunting, fishing, hiking, soccer-playing, rough and tumble FI who doesn't know Lavender from Purple and typically doesn't care about flowers or cake spent his free time designing cake because he wanted all of the decorations to be perfectly us. I love that man. He is seriously more excited about the wedding than I am.

My SO went and sat with my dad at the hospital for a few hours yesterday with me never asking him to come by. I got a call from him asking "what's your dad's room number? I'm at the hospital." I thought it was so sweet.

I knew he would come visit him sometime, but I figured it would be when I was there. It's good to know he cares about my dad.

wandajune6 · August 2014

FI is super-stressed about his little sister's move. He essentially raised her and she's about to start her PhD program. He's ridiculously proud but so sad that she'll be gone. We road tripped across the country this weekend and have her situated.

He's not naturally the warm fuzzy type but I woke up to arms tight around me and him whispering that he was glad I was there. Exactly what I needed.

I teach science and love to have cool things on display in my room. Lego just came out with a research Institute with female scientists, a chemist, a paleontologist, and an astronomer. I excitedly said that would be cool in my room. He immediately handed me the debit card, logged me into his Lego account (he is a huge fan and collector) and said use my reward points and buy it. He had been saving those points for himself and just gave them to me with no hesitation. That is love. ETA~words hard

Jells2dot0 · August 2014

I'm on my way home from the ER for the third time in 2 weeks. DH has really dealt with a lot from me and he yelled at me for trying to do stuff on my own. It sounds mean, but it meant a lot to me that he is looking out for me!

Sugargirl1019 · August 2014

I texted H that I really wanted ice cream tonight with our Redbox movie even though I usually hate ice cream. Not 5 seconds after I press send, he calls me while he's out, "I just pulled into Sonic, would you like a shake tonight?" Brain waves! Mmm lemon pie shake is so good.

OMG that sounds like angels singing in a cup. Canada doesn't have Sonic. I'd be 1000lbs if we did because everything from there sounds amazing!

Sounds like there are some lucky couples out there!

What a nice way to start the day with all these adorable stories.

Is anyone incorporating a special story/remark in their ceremony?

We took a brief moment during the ceremony to express to each other why we were so happy to be there that day solidifying a wonderful commitment to each other ("I love you because..." "I love us because..."). It was a sweet moment for us, and it gave some of our guests a little more insight.

We didn't incorporate any special stories or anything into our wedding, and we had a catholic wedding so it was pretty basic wedding vows. Our pastor did a really good job of incorporating our competitive personalities and talked during his homily about constantly trying to out-do each other with our love. We've take that to heart since the wedding and have been trying to one-up each other with thoughtful gestures and statements.

In terms of lovey things DH has done lately, we are currently watching a rom com and DH is drunky on champagne bubbles. He is super sappy and lovey dovey right now and keeps telling me how beautiful I look today (even though I didn't shower and the most makeup I had on was tinted moisturizer). Love him :-)

I went home for a family wedding this weekend (6 hours of driving yesterday, and then 6 back today), and DH, after working all morning, made homemade soup, cleaned the kitchen (including mopping the floors), and sorted and started the laundry.

And, after I told him about how my mom always used to have warm chocolate chip cookies waiting for us when we got home on the first day of school, he immediately declared that he could do that for me now!

thejucheidea · August 2014

Cleaned the whole. damn. house. while I lounged around or napped yesterday.

WinstonsGirl · August 2014

I think we have a wasps nest under our driveway. DH said he'd spray it tonight and then seal the crack between the driveway and garage. He swears he doesn't mind even though he might get stung. I also offered to do it if he didn't want to, though getting stung terrifies me. I told him after he agreed "good, cos killing bugs is a man's job".

He's the best, and I will happily support him from inside the house.

Inkdancer · August 2014

My best friend is coming into town tonight. When I was sleeping in on Saturday, FI cleared out the guest room and re-made the bed so that she would have a comfy place to stay. He does sweet little gestures for me all the time, but it meant a lot that he wanted to do that so I wouldn't stress about having things ready for a guest.

Also he made me cheese fries with cajun bacon for dinner.

climbingsingle · August 2014

He helped me clean the house this weekend, which is awesome because he also does all of the outside work (mowing lawn, etc).

He knew how badly I wanted my teeth whitened. I quit smoking 4 years ago, but unfortunately my teeth are a little yellow from smoking those years. Last time I was at the dentist, I found out that he made an appointment for me for Zoom bleaching. He already paid for it and everything. I'm getting it done today!

He's been really helpful with a lot of wedding stuff. We're doing the centerpieces together. And honestly, I think he's much better at it than I am!

Fi worked this weekend so I went to church by myself. I got home and we went over to his parents'. When we left there, he stopped by my dad's house and I was like, "What are we doing?" and he said, "I'm going to get the lawn mower so I can mow." We live less than a mile from my dad so we use his lawn mower and drive it up the road.

Before we left my dad's FI went inside to say hello even though I know he was in a hurry. Then, my big brother got there and FI asked him to hear the new exhaust on the tractor (which my brother was super proud of). I love that he takes time to talk with my family and do things with them. Honestly, I think he is in love with both of my brothers lol.

When we got home, FI said he was going to mow the yard and weed eat and I should eat popcorn and drink some wine, which he surprised me with. I drank the whole dang bottle!

Adam and I have 3 sons (2 biologically mine, 1 biologically his). I was exhausted the other day and just him saying, "Babe, go take a nap. I have the boys." made me smile.

buttercup1958 · August 2014

V and I just got back from hanging out at his friends house. I'm really tired and my throat hurts. He tucked pillows behind my head, got me water, and put a wet towel between my thighs. He is so sweet and amazing.

AprilH81 · August 2014

Sunday morning before church I was in bed reading and DH brought me a bagel with cream cheese.

BlackLace2015 · August 2014

This is just a little thing but last night I was sitting down at the dinner table feeling grumpy, and my fi asked me if I wanted a coke from the fridge. I said "no thank you" feeling a little annoyed because I already had a drink in my hand (obviously!). A few minutes later he put the empty can in front of me with a cute little smile. It said "Share a coke with your soulmate". Bad mood, melted.

SBmini · August 2014

Last night he stayed up after I had passed out to make sure the last load of laundry got into the dryer before our trip, even though he was exhausted. But the nicest thing he does for me is wake up hours before me on the weekend and do things on the to do list. I've woken up to the weeds being pulled and lawn mowed- or my oil being changed, etc. That's always fantastic.

smgold6 · August 2014

FI and I were going to a baseball game (we're huge baseball fans, getting married at the stadium) last night and on the way there he commented on how he hoped we could walk out with a win that evening and then continued on to say on September 27th he'd be walking out a winner no matter what.

mrsmorales2be · August 2014

FI bought the 15 disk box-set of the Lord of the Rings (the extended edition with tons of extras that we'll never, ever finish!) on Bluray. He was so excited when they came in and took about a dozen pics of the outside of the box! The sweet part? He asked if I wanted him to wait to open it until I'm there with him, which won't be until we're married!

Of course I told him to drop everything and check it out, which was what he really wanted to do - but if I had said I wanted him to wait, he totally would have done.
