| Ladies, marry a man who brings you coffee in bed every morning. Best thing I ever did. For all of his shortcomings I will always love the simple fact that he brings me coffee in bed--even on the mornings that he leaves for work at 6:30am. I try to remember this when he leaves his clothes exactly where he takes them off, leaves lights on all over the house, leaves every cupboard open, never loads the dishwasher, doesn't know how to vacuum, etc. What does your DH do that (temporarily) helps you forget all of his shortcomings? |
| What a freaking idiot. |
| DH here. I do this! Not the codfee part, the other sruff. |
| LOL@ “short”comings |
| My husband brings me coffee everyday, plus all of the other stuff. He’s the best. |
It’s gonna take more than coffee to make up for some short comings. |
| I think you value coffee in bed a little too much. |
|
I don’t like coffee in bed, or being overly tended to.
Perhaps better advice is to marry someone who loves you in ways that are meaningful to you. |
| I think we married twins, although mine loads the dishwasher. but clothes, lights, cabinets...yeah. |
In a marriage that lasts a lifetime, the little things can be very meaningful. Along with his other wonderful qualities, it means a lot to me that my husband has brought me coffee when I was studying or had a long report to write, started my car in the mornings before we left for work and made sure ice was scraped off the windows when we didn't have a garage, and turned on a few lamps if he gets home before me in the winter--makes the house look cozy when returning home after a long day. |

| Be a person someone would want to bring coffee every morning. |

I get it. DH is an early riser, I'm not. He makes breakfast for everyone every single day. Despite his many shortcomings, some of them quite severe, due to ADHD, it's a small mercy. |
| No thanks. My husband is usually already hard at work by the time I get up. |
