AW up your SO

hmp1 · October 2013

Since we are doing the Love Dare daily challenge to be nicer to our SOs, what is something he has done for you lately that made you really stop and appreciate him?

The night of Leo's birthday party, DH came to bed and said he had something for me. He said he wanted to get me a little gift for all the work I did putting together the party. He pulled out a Victoria Secret box. I internally rolled my eyes at him getting me something from VS and giving it to me while we are in bed. I opened it up and it was a new pair of yoga pants! He knows me so well.

DH knows I am stressed to the max about everything and even though it is his health that is failing, he tries everyday to do something to help me or compliment me on something I have done. It makes me smile and relieves stress even just for a few minutes.

My DH told me how proud he was of me applying for a job that I didn't think I had a chance of getting and right before the interview he gave me a hug and said, "remember you belong there." So sweet and gave me the confidence I needed. He always believes in me, much more than me believing in myself.

DH has been cooking dinner every night so that I can sit an veg on the couch for half an hour after DD goes to bed. Sooooo appreciated!

I cut my finger really badly last week and needed stitches, and am not supposed to get the area wet. So not only did he pull out the amazing during the actual incident, he's done the dishes every night since then, not complaining even though he hates doing the dishes. In fact, he actually commended me on doing them on my own for so long because they suck so much and said he'd pitch in more.

DH has been doing a lot around the house lately, especially when it comes to cooking/dishes. He never complains if I have a meeting at night or just want to meet a girlfriend for dinner. Also, he puts all of my stuff and the kids' stuff for daycare in the car every morning. After nursing DD, I come down to a travel mug of coffee and all our stuff organized. It definitely streamlines the morning!

Dh is studying for a huge exam at the end of the month. He rearranged his whole study schedule so he is home more to see DS and I. This means he is sacrificing a ton of sleep for us by staying up late the get the study hours in. I'm so thankful to be able to see him more and have help with DS.

H works really really hard, like 60+ hours per week, some 12 hour days, every Saturday hard. And he still tries to give me a break when he gets home. He's gotten a lot better about helping around the house too.

He cooks dinner almost every night so I can play with Penny when I get home from work. He also has me send him a picture of Penny every morning when I drop her off, and always has a comment on how cute she looks. He makes me coffee every morning, and he gets me a drink or a nightcap if I want one in the evening.

He also gave me a backrub, the secks, and a little something extra last night, FTW.

BeebopandBuddy · October 2013

I had a stretch of a few months when I really thought I was at a breaking point. I had so much to do and was feeling so overwhelmed. I finally sat down and talked to DH about it. Since then, he has been wonderful and has really been pitching in with the kids, the house, etc. more than I ever expected.

Yes, he's doing what he is supposed to d but the AW here is that he really heard me and took it to heart.

misspunky · October 2013

I've been really sick this past week and bogged down with homework and taking care of DD, so the other night when DH got home, he sent me straight to bed to rest. I don't think I've ever loved him more.

DH just randomally bought me flowers last week and a really sweet card to go with them.

KTC926 · October 2013

Monday I texted him .."I need a cold one after a day like today"

when I got home there was a frozen mug full of beer and a cheeseburger (my fav) waiting for me.

sometimes it's the little things.

Posted on IG, but about 2 weeks ago I came home to find the front porch fully decorated for fall. Cornstalks, bales of hay, pumpkins and gourds. It looks so pretty and it was so nice and unexpected to come home from a late night at work and find the house looking so decorated for fall.

DH did 8 loads of laundry on Sunday. We were waay behind.

@hmp1 - DH has never come home spontaneously from VS with anything near yoga pants. I'm actually a little jealous. And now I want to go buy a new pair...

Pokedot · October 2013

We were eating dinner last night and he got up to go grab something, came back to the table and gave me a big hug from behind, told me how beautiful I was and how lucky he was to have me. Almost made me cry. I really am lucky. He's the most amazing man I could ask for!

thetwinkies&Vivi · October 2013

He's working a whole hell of a lot to take care of us,but rather then veg out when he is home, he loves to go to the park as a family,or tag along for errands. Also, I always melt when he ask for pics of the girls' routines when he isn't here.

Eastie156 · October 2013

Juggling the sale of our condo, finding a new apt, taking care of E, while attending part time grad school and searching for a job prompted H to tell me he wanted me to buy something for myself. Which he never says! I decided to buy us a new couch and love seat for our living room because our leather set is really awful looking. So much for buying something for me

) At least we can snuggle together on it.

MommaP12 · October 2013

He just hugged me while I cried over not getting a job - for about an hour. He is the glue of this family by far while I'm often a hot mess.

Stasi · October 2013

I'm late to the party on this.

Everyone knows where I am right now in life and let's just say I'm doing A LOT of taking and not a lot of giving emotionally speaking. My DH is pouring out every ounce of "give" he has to support, nourish, and love me...not talking about Kate, or our family. Just me. He's the best.

steenbean18 · October 2013

DH has been babying me and changing all the diapers while we're in the hospital. I'm probably capable, but he's been really sweet about everything so that I can just rest and heal, and nurse J.
