What's the loveliest act your partner has done for you?

[Anonymous]

I so remember what my boyfriend did for me when we were 16-17 y.o. I took some after-school classes within a walking distance from home. My boyfriend sometimes walked with me to the class and sometimes met me after it - to walk home together. That day, he walked me to the class and said that he had some plans in the afternoon/evening and will be unable to meet me after the class. However, when the class ended and I left the classroom, I was surprised to see him waiting for me and asked why he came, as he was supposed to run some errands at that time. He said: "It started raining, and I brought you an umbrella" - and handed an umbrella to me.

love this.
I'm the reeses penaut butter cup poster from above. My umbrella had gotten kind of wonky. Total side note I thought. Then for weeks I was stepping over some weird random umbrella in our foyer.
I finally was like, what the hell is this umbrella i keep stepping over. And dead serious he said, "Oh, I got you a new one and put it where the old one was. I wanted you to think an umbrella fairy came to your rescue." It was a gift for me that I kept stepping over. lol.

I honestly can't say. My husband isn't perfect, but he's steady, loyal, will stay up all night to do things for our family that need to be done, cooks for me when I'm sick, built me a website for me when I owned a small business, has highlighted my hair through that dumb plastic cap during COVID, and is a wonderful man. I'm grateful that there is no one thing and instead there are hundreds.

My wife was missing her Mom right around her birthday.
I surprised her by flying her mom down so that my wife walked into a decorated kitchen with a freshly baked birthday cake by her mom.
My wife still talks about it.

Handled all the details of my mom’s death and funeral while we were all spaced out with grief. He also paid off my student loans once I became a SAHM.

Did all the planning for our recent vacation - and picked everything based on my preferences.

Same. I was trying to think of the loveliest and I couldn't pick just one. My husband is amazing. He's not perfect, but he's amazing. I'm quite certain he'd also have a hard time coming up with something for me because we both try to do things for each other all the time. Even silly little things, like tossing a bath towel in the dryer while someone is showering. The little things add up so much over time. (He has done big things as well, but I also love the little things).

Thanks for this thread, OP. It's a bright light in a sea of complaints about spouses.

My XH paid the bills and met the minimum. Current partner has the little things down and I feel so loved. I forgot some leftovers the other day. He brought them to work all wrapped with sides and in tupperwares. He makes me drip coffee every morning. Small everyday thoughtful things like that melt me.

My husband is really lovely. I wish I had some physical attraction for him. I mean, he does such nice things all the time.

Good times!

Lol wow the bar is really low for married men

Has taken up so much more of our homelife management while caring for me during cancer treatments. He's not just doing it, he seems happy and like it's no big deal. His upbeat attitude is a buoy during uncertain times for both me and our children. I married right.
