I could go into great detail, but the thread would be moved to explicit.

I already do all that. I guess I'm done for the day.

Although I would like to see how far you could go.

Yeah, but do you make him feel like it's a chore to do it, or do you make him feel spoiled by it?

Hmm...me too.

DW here. Well, first, I stay home. He has to bear the stress of being the sole provider. Second, he doesn't dare buy me anything, as he has learned that I prefer to choose myself. Third, he's the early riser and makes breakfast for everyone. It is the only house-related thing he does on a daily basis.

None of us are spoiling each other, but we're happy together.

Just how far do you want me to go?

Love it. Thanks for the laugh. Subtle humor is my favorite... You were kidding right

I generally cook dinner, but it's more because she doesn't like to cook while I love to. I generally get up in the middle of the night if one of the kids wakes (it's rare but still I know she appreciates it). If I know she's having a rough day at work I'll get a bath going so it's ready when she gets home since I get in earlier.

I am a spoiled wife, but DH does none of the above. I am the cook, so if I don't cook we go out (I usually get to chose the place). I am the only coffee drinker. I don't like the traditional "expensive things".

But, he clears the table and cleans up the kitchen most nights. He does about half the laundry and I am a SAHP! He is kind, considerate and understanding. We thank each other and each try to do more than the minimum.

Feet, neck and back rubs are good. Watching Miss Fisher with me when he would rather be doing something else is lovely- especially with a foot rub at the same time. Very spoiling.

Unexpected flowers are always nice.

Is it not spoiling your wife when you cook her dinner most nights?

No

Brownie points for the fact that you will probably die before her.

Chore.

Stuff that makes me feel good: fills up my car with gas, plays with my hair, never complains about household stuff I don't get to (I sah), was willing to spend $50,000+ on infertility treatments when he wasn't sure about no. 2. It's not about gifts.

Says the woman who never makes the damn coffee.

I love you honey if that's you.
