My husband’s is too. And I’m not great at it, because to me it feels like I’m living in the 50s or something: make lunch, pick up his dry cleaning, yada yada.

So you are nit great at sex?

wow, a H who remembered needing toothpaste and went out and bought some toothpaste for the house!
Mine just complains and then takes every kids' toothpaste and travel toothpaste until someone else does his errands for him. He can't be bothered to remember anything about the house anyways.

"He loves getting his lovingly packed boxes "

This kind of self-described saccharine drivel completely takes away from any valid point you might be making, OP.

I do the same. It actually makes me feel good to do something nice for him. He’s a wonderful husband and father.

I found out recently that he saves notes that are extra sweet/funny/sexy.

I say "Hi" to my husband when I walk in the house. He is quite appreciative and replies. I don't know why I say it to the kids, they only grunt.

PP here. Yeah, he's pretty good about stuff like that. He's sort of a meticulous person.

That’s not 5-7-5. That’s just 15. I guess you’re not really a haiku expert.

For this reason (attn to detail, remembering things), I wish I had married an accountant.

Oh sorry. I packed my husband a lunch today because I just love him so much. It was a sandwich in a bag with bottled water, and I did it because I got up at 5 am randomly and had extra time to kill. I also included a note that said, "pick up meds at CVS."

Are you happy with this? On topic enough for you? Or does it have to be about your bento box or nothing?
