It's the little things that count...

We have had threads about what does your S.O. call you and threads about what does your S.O. say/do to get you hot. My question is what is that one sweet thing your significant other does for you, expecting nothing in return, that makes you feel all warm and fuzzy?

My husband ALWAYS makes sure there is gas in my car. I don't have to ask or tell him it's low, he just checks. I can't remember the last time I had to fill it myself. He never says a word, doesn't do the "guess what I just did" bit, he simply takes care of it for me.

Little things like that can really make a difference sometimes. No matter how irritated I get with him, there is always that little voice reminding me I don't have to deal with the gas station. That alone has stopped a few arguements in their tracks.

My bf just blurts out "god, your beutiful" and sometimes, he'll waight an hr outside my work just to give me a hug, and he wakes up at 5 every morning to eat breakfast with me.

*waves* hi ya

sorry i can't reply... don't have a S/O.. have an ex though.. u care to take him off my hands by any chance?? hehe oh yeah... today's his BD.. maybe u give him a couple whacks while you're at it LOL

 

[lala]

mine lets me get away with murder,... i can be pretty bad before he'll even gently say lala,...(looking over his glasses in that cute way) so his patience is awesome,...

he always has the right thing to say

he takes my jewelry and clothes off when i can't (too tired or not sober enough) he doesn't say anything, he just does it,...

there are a million others, but these are my favorites,...

Ahhhh, those wonderous little things.

My favourite thing that my siggy other does is when I'm sick.

Not only does he take care of EVERYTHING that I usually have to do, (and I mean everything, from cleaning, to answering the phone)

but every night he stops by (we're not able to live together at the moment) and he brings me tea, reads me a story, and doesn't leave until I fall asleep..

*sighs* I've got a nasty flu...and he's over-seas. garrr...

My S/O...

Always has words of encouragement whenever I want to try something new.

He gets home from work before I do....he always calls me and wants to know how I am doing. If I tell him "I'm so tired and have had a bad day" he tells me he's sorry and that he loves me. And the best part is when I get home he always has supper ready and waiting for me.

He has the patience of "Job" nothing rattles him and in 13 years of marriage he has never raised his voice to me once.

There are soooo many things....

I had no idea I'd get depressed reading this thread.

 

[Whispersecret]

Hmmm, <thinking hard>, ok! I got it. I thought of something.

Well, it doesn't really make me feel warm and fuzzy, but it's something I appreciate. Whisperhubby makes sure he takes the kids out and does something with them and leaves me the hell alone for a good amount of time at least once a week. Then I can decompress from being a mommy and just be me for a little while, because even if he's home, the kids always come to me for everything.

Okay, I'm not as depressed as I was before.

Thank you

Indy_dark,,, what a delightful story,,, it certianly has made my day.

Thread response,,,

I'll be sitting at the drawing board wracking my brain over a way to make a building design come together,,, when I suddenly feel a pair of hands gently massaging my shoulders after setting down a cup of tea,,, no words of praise, no questions about what I'm struggling with,,, just a cup of tea and a massage for a minute or so and then she has retreated as quietly as she arrived.

Doing little things, WITHOUT being asked, that I sometimes don't even notice:

laundry--mine as well as his
wash dishes, including cleaning-up yucky cooking pots
take out garbage daily
massage my back and shoulders at the end of a long, hard day
cook dinners 3-4 times a week

Last weekend was parents weekend at our son's school, a special school for kids with learning disabilities. I adopted my son during my first marriage, but second husband considers himself my son's dad, NEVER prefaces it with the word "step." Our son tried to run away to go to a store and buy stuff we DON'T want him to have. Son led us on a merry chase around our motel and adjoining neighborhood, I got winded and had to go back to our motel room, but husband stayed right on top of him, son eventually tired of the game and after a long father-and-son talk, they both came back to the room and we all watched a movie together.

During the chase, our son threatened to have his dad arrested for pestering him and chasing him around, my husband said he didn't care. Son stopped dead in his tracks and said, "I KNOW you care, or you wouldn't be chasing after me!"

Gotta love a man who can cause such an epiphany in a learning-disbaled and very rebellious teenager!

Damnit, Indy, that post made me cry it was so beautiful! <sniffle> I've never cried over a BB post before. That's something for Chicken Soup for the Soul.

Sheesh! <grabbing tissues>

It probably IS from Chicken Soup for the Soul.

ummmmmm

Let's me continue breathing.....

...and whisper....you're lying...my mammogram hurt like hell!

Its is just the everyday things, being there when you need someone, helping out when you don't even ask. Taking care of the kids and being a super dad. Always making time for the family even know he is busy with work.

It is the everyday things that make me appreciate my significant other. And knowing that you can depend on him no matter what. And the little surprises that he springs on me, he is just someone whom I treasure more and more everyday.

One of my girlfriends sucks my cock without being asked to--does that count?
