Totally unexpected.


I feel like this isn't romantic, this is just the right thing to do. Like if a guy left me and chilled at the car while I struggled, he would not be my boyfriend for much longer.

Eh, he probably thought you might die down there and he'd be stuck doing a bunch of paperwork

I’m responding to my own post….i totally forgot that, when we were dating I was sad because my favorite animal left the zoo. That year for Christmas he gave me tickets for us to fly to the new city where the animal had moved / spend the weekend exploring a city. That was really fun and it was nice seeing the animal in its new home.

Sweet but not practical or hygienic and certainly risk of allergy for the baby.


This was the furthest thing from my mind and is such a weird thought/response. There is no reason to think a newborn baby would be in any way harmed by or allergic to flowers. Did not raise my kid in a bubble and doing so makes them more prone to allergies not less.

Thankfully we've been to Paris a couple of times since and he makes a point of reminding me of my turn down.


You are an idiot! Did he call a friend?


Was he helping to find a sitter? That seems like no small task

My husband is not a PDA type person but when our children were young and now with our grandchildren the love he shows for them often melts me. And, he still loves to have sex with a grandmother so I have no complaints.
