Does your dh open your car door ?
or any doors??
Today when we were leaving our childbirth class, I noticed that all the dhs were opening their wives' door but mine.... so i was like hey!!
He does open the door for me occasionally if we go out to a store or restaurant... it's not a big deal but I cant' believe that there are men that still do!!! lol

Re: Does your dh open your car door ?
Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge Him,and He shall direct your paths.
Proverbs 3:5-6
DH told me that custom is no longer necessary since cars have automatic locks on the keychain.
I had to remind him that men weren't doing it just to unlock the door, they were doing it to be nice.
Yes. He even opens the car door if it's down pooring and I used the keyless entry... He's such a gem.
That being said I know A LOT of husbands who don't.
Yes, DH almost always opens my car door. He always has. As well as any other door.
every time we go anywhere, and even when i leave for work in the morning...he walks me to the car and opens my door, then hands me my lunch bag and kisses me! he was trained right.
DH is so insistant on door opening, that he is known for grabbing my arm when we are going into a place, stopping me, then reaching for the door, rather then just let me do it myself....i love DH
Oh my dh only opens it to get me in. Not out
I never thought it him doing it that way! I would feel dumb too!
Car door: not since he was still trying to get into my pants.
Other doors: yes, usually.
Yes he does and always has. As far as restaurant doors, we live in the south, and pretty much everyone opens the door for the person approaching, male or female. It is rude not to here, and if you see someone let the door close behind them without looking, you'll hear someone mutter, "That was rude. I wonder where they're from?"
Guys in the south also stand on the bus or subway and tell the ladies to sit. It is a big perk of living here. I was offended in NYC for awhile when I saw how people let the door close without looking or didn't stand there and hold it open for the next person. I kept asking my husband - where are the gentlemen in this city?
He has opened every door since we started dating 8 years ago. He even orders my dinner when we go out (once I tell him what I want of course). and Almost every Sunday he makes breakfast. All these good things makes me feel bad when I complain about some of the things he doesn't do. LOL
in the 12 years we've been together, I don't think he's EVER opened the car door for me.
He has opened other doors (like into a store, restaurant, etc) but if he doesn't actually open them for me he will hold them open - he wont let it close before i reach it.
He never opens the car door for me, but will open other doors.
Absolutely. He opens all doors for me.He also opens sodas, beers, food, etc.
He pulls out chairs for me and wont sit until I am seated...
When we went out on our first date he was that guy who stood up when I went to the bathroom. I was kind of embarrased. I made him stop.
Yep, every single time we get in the car, unless I'm driving. It's something his dad feels very strongly about and trained him to do. If we're with his parents going some place and DH doesn't wait for me to get in to close the door after me FIL scolds him. DH usually doesn't wait around to close the door for me unless his parents are around, lol.
When we first started dating, DH wouldn't even let me open the door for him to go into a restaurant, it's ridiculous. DH has relaxed about this point, but FIL sure hasn't.
Sometimes... more now that I'm pg. In the past if I teased him about not opening the door he'd say he didn't want to be anti-feminist & imply that I'm not capable of opening the door myself- reading far too much into it.
