What sweet things does your DH do?

amylynchild · December 2010

My hubs has always been a sweetheart, pregnant or not. But yesterday I had sort of a rough end to the work day - no big deal, but I just mentioned that it was a little frustrating when I talked to him on my way home from work.

When I got home, he made me dinner, did the dishes, went to Coldstone and brought me home a huge cup of my favorite ice cream, then rubbed my back and my feet before bed while telling me how excited he was to be a dad and how I'd be such a great mom. I seriously do not deserve him. He always bends over backwards for me and shows me how much he loves me. I even feel guilty being so pregnant/tired because I feel like I'm not doing enough to show him how much he means to me... but I'm trying!

Anyway, I just get tired of seeing posts about DH's who act like jerks. I want to hear about all your sweet husbands and cute things they do or have done for you! Please share.

I agree about all the douchy DH posts. Sometimes I wonder why anyone would marry some of these guys. Sounds like you got a good one that's really in tune with what you need. I'm sure you do enough to make him feel appreciated too. I mean you are giving him a child right now. Mine has been wonderful through out this pregnancy. Right now I'm having so much trouble sleeping so he's been reading one of the baby books we have out loud to me at night. Amazing how soothing it is. I also can always count on a good rub down when I need it or just want to be touched. Last night we laid on the couch and watched The Princess Bride and he rubbed my head. He also took the initiative to arrange to work one day a week from home so he can be around more after the baby is born. I didn't even ask him to do anything like this. But now once a week, he will be home working so if the baby is napping, I can get a good shower in, go for a run, run an errand, whatever.

I like this thread! The sucky DH posts are upsetting.

My DH has also been great. Almost every day something happens that makes me feel really happy to be married to him. He has been doing most of the dishes and just taking care of things even though he's pretty stressed between coaching and grad school. He's also been saying some really sweet things lately about my job search and just family situations and stuff.

While I was away, he cleaned out one of the closets that we've been needing to clean out but I was overwhelmed by. It's such a relief!

Must say I am pretty happy with my H as well. He is great. He bought me flowers last week when I had a bad day and since he has been unemployed he has helped with the general chores around the house and he often cooks for me too. I really can't complain he is great!

Also he is so excited about being a dad that he put the bassinet together the other night and has read more books on pregnancy than I have (and he claims to hate reading).

Ahhh, you have good guys too.

My DH has been great from day one. He's not only taken over laundry duty he's even learned to fold things the way I like them. He also makes dinner on his days off,and gives me back, feet and belly rubs when I get home from work. DH works nights so when he's on his way out the door, I'm usually getting ready to go to sleep, but he never fails to say good night to the belly. What can I say? I feel very blessed.

My dh cooks EVERY night (unless Im up for it), he cleans, rubs my feet, chauffer/drives me whenever Im not up for it and lately he has been sleeping on the couch because its more comfortable for me and my million pillows without him in there all night. He is so excited for our baby and its so cute. He was picking out outfits for her the other night when we were doing baby laudry.

He has basically waited on me this entire pregnancy. My favorite though is how he tucks me in at night. He stays up later than I do, and he always arranges the pillows and gets the blankets ready for me, makes sure I have water and that the humidifier is on, etc etc.

I love my DH for everything he does. I tell him almost every day what a great husband he is, because it's true.

He does the dishes almost every day, has put together the entire nursery and baby paraphernalia (PnP, stroller, etc.), he rubs my swollen legs and feet and writes awesome posts on FB about how I get more beautiful every day Smile

There's plenty I'm missing, but just wanted to chime in!

Not to be snarky, but you must be quite lucky to have a DH that is so spot on everyday! I love my DH whether he makes me dinner, rubs my feet, etc. everyday. My DH actually told me yesterday to "get off that d*mn board because those guys can't be for real!"

Honestly, the sweetest thing my DH had done throughout is to try to help me get sleep (which has been challenging), whether that means sleeping on the couch, talking me to bed, getting up to let the dog out, anything to help me rest.

Slosey · December 2010

i couldn't agree with you more. my dh is amazing and has always pampered me. i am definitely the lucky one. i do feel bad being so tired lately. normally we both go out of our way for eachother and lately i'm just too pooped to do the little things.

I LOVE THIS THREAD! I've been diagnosed with fatigue (who hasn't?) my entire pregnancy and it's all I can do to get by on 12 hrs of sleep a night - sometimes more. Before being pregnant, I was very 'type A'. Cooked fabulous dinners, kept an immaculate house, paid all the bills, did all the shopping/errands, worked out at least once a day, did yard work, walked the dogs, did exciting things with my hubby, worked 12 hr days... everything really. Now, I'm a bum. I work 3-8 hr shifts and can't manage to do anything else on my days off. I maybe cook 1 meal a week, I wash a couple of loads of laundry and I wouldn't say that I 'keep house' at all. I sit on the couch as much as I possibly can. DH has been WONDERFUL! Our house doesn't look quite the same and our meals are definitely more convenient, but he's the one who's taking care of it. I haven't even been going to the grocery store with him lately because he likes to walk up and down every aisle and it's too much for me! I feel bad because I've turned into this lethargic pregnant lady that I hardly even know anymore but he's soooooo understanding and keeps telling me to just take it easy. (Although he also keeps telling me he can't wait for the baby to be born already and I kind of think part of it is he wants his wife back!) I love my hubby!

I have an amazing DH as well, while I'm pregnant and before I was pregnant. He's been doing the laundry keeping the house clean, doing the dishes, warms up the car for me before I go to work, and rubs my feet and back almost every night. Hes extremely amazing! and he deals with all my mood swings lately.

I am with you all in loving this thread. It is always all too easy to get mad (Lord knows we all have short fuses these days) and remember and ride on the one bad thing, but my honey has been great the whole time. From telling him I was prego (he jumped up and dad saying how this was the best day of his life), to changing the litter box each week (Niko is my cat from before and dh has never been a pet person) and to cooking and doing the dishes just about every night. He brings me a glass of water each night and always says a prayer to baby and I and talks to her each night, which just melts my heart. Yay for good men!!

My H often frustrates me b/c he is inconsistent and I have to tell him a million times to do things. But he's also stepped up more and I appreciate all the nights he orders or picks up take out, he carries the laundry basket up and down the stairs for me, is my chauffeur whenever we go anywhere (I used to always drive), and this past weekend he actually cleaned the cat pans w/o me asking!! All in all, it's going to be a great partnership with our family - I just know it. I just wish he didn't get under my skin so much these days though hahaha.

sometimesalwayschaotic · December 2010

YAY! I like this post! Reading the many frustrations of women always me thankful for my DH. He is so thoughtful and wonderful. He treats me with respect and helps me out when I need it. I love my man!

gusjaim · December 2010

My boyfriend usually just acts like i'm complaining, even though he has admited that I have been amazing and uncomplaining throughout this pregnacy when asked by guys at work. But lately whenever I say anything about being really tired or just exhausted and not having even done anything that day he just goes "you were busy today you were making a person". And it makes me feel better to know he does get how being pregnant just takes a lot out of you.

nate2011 · December 2010

My husband has been great! Cooking, helping with the dogs, takes over when his children get here. Since, I am a SAHM and still haven't had a child I really do a lot for his kids when we do have them. When I am tired and I have had enough, he knows and takes on everything. He works a lot too so when he is home, he wants a list of things he can do. This past weekend he went shopping and stocked up on EVERYTHING we need so I do not have to go to the store too much once Ashton is here.. Pretty much anything I need, he is there.

Katsouza1 · December 2010

YAY for good DH's! I have been on bedrest for a while and he has been so awesome! After working 12+ hours a day he comes home and takes care of all of the chores around the house that I can't do like take out the trash, dishes, cleaning the bathroom etc. Whats even more incredible is that my Mother lives with us do to an illness that she has and he takes care of everything she needs too because I can't while on bedrest. He hasn't complained once! It's so sweet!

It's the little things right now. The three of us were headed to mall to pick up DD's Christmas portraits, and he went out to start the truck. He turned my seat heater on so it wouldn't be too cold when I got in. He'll also get into my side of the bed when I'm getting ready for bed to warm it up for me if it's really cold in our house.
