My boyfriend sometimes walked with me to the class and sometimes met me after it - to walk home together. That day, he walked me to the class and said that he had some plans in the afternoon/evening and will be unable to meet me after the class. However, when the class ended and I left the classroom, I was surprised to see him waiting for me and asked why he came, as he was supposed to run some errands at that time. He said: "It started raining, and I brought you an umbrella" - and handed an umbrella to me.

This is so cute.

A few yrs ago I was having these vertigo spells that made me very nauseated. One day I puked while on the way to the bathroom and he was already cleaning it up before I got out of the bathroom.

Lol wow the bar is really low for married men

I’m the giraffe poster above. In 12 years as parents my husband has never planned an entire night out - the activity, the meal and the babysitter. So a trip would be very surprising!

My husband isn’t generally a romantic but has done many lovely things over the years. One comes to mind:

I used to stop by the zoo to see the giraffes on my way home sometimes. One died and then they sent the other away to make room for the elephant expansion. I was sooo sad when I found out the giraffe was leaving. It left in the fall and for Christmas that year my husband (bf at the time) planned a trip to the giraffe’s new home (Florida) and we had a lovely weekend exploring a new city and seeing the giraffe in its new home.

More recently he was cleaning out storage and found a sleeve of CDs including one of local musicians from a trip we took the year before our first child was on. When he knew I was going to be using the car (only CD player we have) he put the CD in so I’d be reminded of our fun trip when I turned the car on.

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.

Love this!

I had a miscarriage between my second and third kid and was feeling really down. DH came up with a plan to cheer me up. He picked me up at work and I thought we were just going out to dinner. It turns out he had planned a weekend away to a place I had wanted to visit and had made arrangements with my mom to come to town and watch our kids for the weekend. He had planned everything perfectly including packing my bag with appropriate clothes, etc.

Held a pot for me when I was too sick to make it to bathroom.#1

Gone on vacation without me, seriously

Dealing with my pelvic pain from a c section gone wrong.
He has way more empathy than I do.

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.

Bought me citizenship to a Nordic country.

Amazing amazing. Best post thus far. You have a great husband. And you are w great wife as well for appreciating his love for all of you and especially your daughter. All we read on this forum is bad DH after bad DH. This is refreshing.

I have three wonderful children and he had something to do with it. And he lets me be me!
