Re: Win/Wine/Whine Wednesday!
Wine: He is the most loving and tender hearted man, I can't pick just one thing!
Whine: Ugh, cleaning the tub/shower... or dishes... or litter boxes... or putting away clothes... or... or....
Wine: My favorite thing he does is something so small he probably doesn't even realize he's doing it. I love when we're sitting somewhere (whether at home, the movies, the car, someone else's house) and he rests his hand on my thigh or caresses. I have no idea why I love this so much but its one of those things that I think is so sweet.
Whine: I hate cleaning the cat's litter box. I also hate scrubbing out the showers.

Wine: (It's a stretch but I'm thinking wining and dining?) What something your SO does that you love? When I have a really nasty headache, he'll come over and massage the bridge of my nose and the base of my neck. It's really sweet.
Whine: What household chore do you hate the most? All of them! Cleaning the bathroom is probably the most loathsome though.

BFP #4 1/2016, DD born 10/2016
Wine: (It's a stretch but I'm thinking wining and dining?) What something your SO does that you love? I wake up first in the morning, and usually after I get out of the shower, I'll crawl back into bed with him and snuggle for a minute. I love the way he instinctively wraps his arms around me. He is always touching me - playing with my hair, rubbing my back, copping a feel in public when he thinks people aren't looking - and I really love that about him. But first thing in the morning is the best. Something about the way he wraps me up in his arms shows me that he's taking care of me even when he's still 95% asleep. He's just the best.
Whine: What household chore do you hate the most? I do not vacuum. I don't know why I hate it so much. I just refuse to do it.
Wine: (It's a stretch but I'm thinking wining and dining?) What something your SO does that you love? He legitimately takes care of me- physically and mentally. He remembers little things that I've said in passing- like wawa has the best vanilla iced coffee but I have to cut it with the regular because its too sweet. 2 months go by since I said it, more like 6 since I had it, and I was dragging one morning, I go to the copier and come back to the perfect mix sitting on my desk waiting for me. He has more flexibility in his position than me (same company/building, different departments) so he snuck out and got me one
Whine: What household chore do you hate the most? yes. all of them lol I really hate doing dishes when they've been left overnight without being rinsed and I hate folding laundry, I'll wash and dry, but I hate folding

Wine: (It's a stretch but I'm thinking wining and dining?) What something your SO does that you love? It's the little things really. Sometimes he will do something as simple as grab my favorite candy bar while he's at the grocery store. It makes me smile just because I know he was thinking of me. I also love when he talks about our future. Makes me melt every time.
Whine: What household chore do you hate the most? DISHES. I hate them. Especially the ones you have to wash and cant just throw in the dishwasher.

Wine: (It's a stretch but I'm thinking wining and dining?) What something your SO does that you love? He cooks! He's our resident cook, and makes 99% of our meals. I love him so.
Whine: What household chore do you hate the most? Picking up dog poop in the yard. DH usually does this, but I have the honor of doing it while he's out of town. When I first started doing it when we got our house, I would put on vinyl gloves and a dust mask to keep out the smell. I have since gotten over that and just do the damn thing, but I still hate it.
Win: I can’t think of one that stands out above the rest. Our wedding was nice but I was stressed and I was honestly glad it when it was over haha. I guess the one that pops into my head is last week during our first official BD he smiled and said “we’re starting our family”. Brought tears to my eyes because I didn’t know if I’d ever hear that
Wine: I have to agree with @severmilli12 it’s all the little touches and caresses and hand holding when we’re together. It calms me.
Whine: Dishes! DH does most of the cooking so I feel obligated to do the dishes. I hate when dinner’s over and I’m on the couch and I look over and all the dirty dishes and pots and pans and leftover food are staring back at me

Wine: (It's a stretch but I'm thinking wining and dining?) What something your SO does that you love? I LOVE when he does chores around the house without having to be asked. Sometimes I feel like I'm carrying all the weight in the cleaning department of our marriage lol so its nice when he helps out without me asking.
Whine: What household chore do you hate the most? LAUNDRY LAUNDRY LAUNDRY. and dishes....but definitely laundry! I would rather scrub the toilet for an hour than fold/put away clothes.
Wine: (It's a stretch but I'm thinking wining and dining?) What something your SO does that you love? He tickles my legs while we watch tv every night.
Whine: What household chore do you hate the most? Folding laundry. Hands down.
Wine: (It's a stretch but I'm thinking wining and dining?) What something your SO does that you love? When he initiates a fancy dinner date night all on his own

Wine: He's just always sweet, always. He takes care of me like I never could have imagined a dude would do for me.
Whine: Definitely cleaning the litter box, doing the dishes is a close second.
Me: 25 - DH: 30
Wine: He teases me, in a good way. We have a wonderfully playful relationship. I love it.
Whine: Ugh. I am so blessed to have help with the heavy cleaning at my house every other week now so my list has shortened. I have to agree with others that the cat box is the WORST. I once bought someone a gift certificate for a service that would come and clean his cat box every few days. I kid you not this is a real thing. It's VERY tempting. DH has very few jobs around here. I try to push the box off on him, but so far with very limited success.

Wine: (It's a stretch but I'm thinking wining and dining?) What something your SO does that you love? He isn't a sappy person, but every so often something happens that reminds him how important we are to each other or how amazing our family is, and he is pretty eloquent in expressing his happiness.
Whine: What household chore do you hate the most? Im really terrible at light pickup. It's like I can deep clean or pickup my immediate mess from dinner or whatever, but doing the 10-15 minutes of just picking up stuff is so hard for me.

Wine: (It's a stretch but I'm thinking wining and dining?) What something your SO does that you love? He cooks for me, a lot, which is really big because I had an eating disorder before I met him and really didn't eat much at all. For some reason, I can eat everything that he cooks and none of it is healthy (steaks, shrimp scampi, wings, etc.). So, it's a little more than just the food, but rather the psychology behind it.
Whine: What household chore do you hate the most? Well, I pretty much hate it all. Dishes, laundry, etc. But on these cold winter mornings, it's especially tough to get up and walk the dogs (yeah, it's a chore).
Win: What has been the best day or most memorable day of your life so far? The day I got my BFP!! After ten months and nearly giving up hope it was so amazing. A close second was our wedding day.
Wine: (It's a stretch but I'm thinking wining and dining?) What something your SO does that you love? He does most of the cooking, nothing fancy and could use some variety, but I don't have to do it.
Whine: What household chore do you hate the most? Cleaning the shower. The soap scum takes forever to get off:(

BFP #1: 11/30/15| MC 12/16/15BFP # 2: 6/2/16 | EDD 2/16/17
Wine: He's so precious on a daily basis. He just always makes sure I feel loved and appreciated. Also, when he lets me fix my plate at dinner first. I don't know why, but this never fails to make me smile.
Whine: Definitely the dishes. Hopefully my new dishwasher will change that!

1st Baby 5/12/17, Henry
Wine: Hmmm... I don't know what it says about me that nothing immediately popped into mind! But probably it would be the way he plays with and cuddles the kitties.
Whine: Vacuuming hurts me the most, so there's that. But honestly I probably hate scrubbing the shower/tub the most. I did the former on Monday and am still sore, and I have to do the latter tomorrow...
TTC #2: April 2018 ~~ BFP: May 2018 ~~ EDD: January 2019
Win: The day DS was born.
Wine: Sometimes he will bring me a cup of coffee in bed. I love that.
Whine: I despise laundry - sorting it, washing it, switching it over, folding it, putting it away. DH is awesome enough to do all but the putting away so I only do laundry when he's been working a ton and the situation is desperate.

I am so indecisive and this is so hard! It is between our wedding day and the day my daughter was born. Another day that is right up there is the day DH told me that he "liked me". I was 18, he was 20. He was still technically dating someone else and I had broken up with my "boyfriend" (asshole) a couple of days before. We were on a rooftop in India at night. (we were there for 2 months together, falling in love) He was able to show me how a real man acted, one who cared about me unselfishly. I was definitely falling hard. And then he told me that. And we talked for hours and hours on the roof and that was basically the end. He was the one.
Wine: (It's a stretch but I'm thinking wining and dining?) What something your SO does that you love?
Today is a tough day to answer this question. The man has gotten on my nerves today. He really, really loves our daughter. If it was up to him he would just be with her every day. That is the best part about him, especially at this point in our lives.
Whine: What household chore do you hate the most?
Well, I do them all, by myself. So, most of them. Maybe the dishes, but that is mostly because it astounds me how no one else in this freaking house can ever wash a freaking dish. Ugh... living with a messy husband is like taking care of an extra child most days.

Wine: when I come home from a night shift at work and he has the house spotless and DS in bed, those are good nights :-)
Whine: is all of them an answer? I hate vacuuming, our vacuum is really hard to push and I dread having to get it out.
