| He stocks up on my favorite wine when it's on sale, dvr's my favorite shows when I'm traveling and brings me coffee before I get out of bed in the morning. |

He tends to wake up earlier than me, and doesn't need to do much to get ready for work, besides putting on pants, so nine times out of ten he'll get the kids dressed and fed in the mornings. He's also taken over bathtime, because I find it frustrating. This makes me cared for, because he does it for me just as much as for them.
In general, he is very present and involved in daily life/chores, cares about his family, cares about the future (including finances), puts up with my crazy family.

So much!
- Pays the bills, groceries, major expenses -Takes me on one nice trip a year - Cooks us dinner most nights unless he has a particularly difficult day at work or comes home very late - Thoroughly cleans the bathroom every weekend - Rubs my feet with lotion every night - Wakes me up every morning with kisses/sex and coffee - Does laundry most of the time |

The original question included the remark that her sex life was non-existent because her man didn't take care of her, so this response is directly on topic. |

He complains a lot that he does more than me, which I don't believe to be true household-wise as I am the default parent. But moody as he is, he does do a lot and I would be remiss to not acknowledge that he does take care of me in many ways.
Handles all finances Sometimes makes me coffee Sometimes preps dinner Makes sure I finish first Tells me he loves me every day Makes me and our family his top priority Makes sure we have date nights Stands up for me (live-in MIL) Believes in me more than I believe in myself |

| I am so sorry you are feeling this way....it is a lonely feeling. Early in my marriage, it became very apparent to me that my husband and I do not show each other love in the same way. Have you ever read/learned/heard about the 5 Love Languages? It is so great to learn about an individual and what makes them feel cared for/loved. Here is a link to an intro to it....maybe check it out? http://bit.ly/2pfNQFp. I wish you well....maybe get the book and read together? |

| Nothing. I pretty much take care of all of us. He's a great father though and that is most important to me. I had a sucky father and wanted the exact opposite for my kids. |

| I would just look like an idiot braggart if I listed it all but mine is theeeeeee best. I think he's upstairs folding laundry right now so I don't have to. The other night I was taking a bath and he popped his head in: "Feel like a warm housecoat? Just came out of the dryer." I laughed. |

| He cooks virtually all our meals, packs me lunch. Although I do a ton of housework and we divvy us chores roughly 60:40, me doing 60, I still feel cared for. His personality is sweet. |

The list would make you all think I'm lying so I won't bother. There is nothing he won't do to make me happy but I do for him too.
