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

Always fighting but when I am sick he genuinely take excellent care of me.

It seems people mix up lone payment as an act of love, its an act of pity as it bothered them and they could afford it. That's all. Being a sugar daddy isn't an act of love.

Left the home and moved 3000 miles away.

Waking up with the kids so I can sleep in

Took me to an Airport Party, as a surprise, on my birthday. So much fun. "Excuuuse us, do you know where Gate So-and-So is?" Still laughing.

Too many things to name. Just a great partner who is invested in my happiness. If there is something I really want, he makes it happen quickly (example: I wanted to turn one of the rooms we don’t use much in our house into an exercise space for me- he called our contractor right away to install heating in the room (it was an enclosed patio) so I could use it year round and converted the space into exactly what I wanted.

I woke up sick, throwing up. Food poisoning most likely. I had just started a new job and it would have looked horrible if I didn't show up for a presentation I was giving. I had a long drive early in the morning too. He took the day off work, drove me (his idea) and I had a trashcan in the backseat in case I needed to throw up more. He also helped me look presentable. I made it through the presentation and did ok-enough to keep the job.

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.

So ... that is the loveliest thing you did for her.

What has she done for you? That was the assignment.

He also does nice things for me and others regularly. And when I went down for weeks after a knee replacement, he cared for me and both our daughters. He has managed to have a sense of humor through one kid’s disabilities and the other kid’s cancer. And he was also by my side the night I went septic and almost died and then my many weeks of recovery from that.

He is simply there, doing the right thing, through all the very hard things we have dealt with. There is truly no better partner to have in tough times. He is a lovely human.

Umm nice fanfic.

I am the poster you responded to, and I wish it was fanfic. But we have a great life notwithstanding the whammy medical diagnoses we got for both kids plus my health issues. It’s ok if you don’t believe me. But I hope most people do, because I have an incredible husband. Now, he also has ADHD and gets on my last nerve with running late — maybe that makes this less fanfic?

Same.

This is going to sound weird but when someone wrongs me, look out. We could be actively fighting but if someone does something bad to me, the fight is forgotten and we now have a common enemy! It’s so automatic. I never thought about it in this way but it’s huge for me.
