Why My SO Is Awesome 1/5

Did she get you all the things you were craving? Did he hold you while you blubbered over a puppy commercial? Brag on your SO here!

My husband is awesome because he truly listens to what I experience and adjusts how he serves me. Not that I expect him to serve me. He has a servant’s heart. He just does it and it’s so wonderful. Now that I’m pregnant, I get nauseous if I don’t eat right away as soon as I feel hungry. He gets me the crackers or makes me some food so that I don’t have to.

When my system decides it has had too much food, I get nauseous. He takes my plate to the dishwasher so that I don’t have to. There are so many things that he does so that I don’t have to and then when I tell him I feel like I don’t do enough for him, he reminds me that he thinks I do so much for him. He’s the most kind and loving person I’ve ever known.

I’ve had to give myself shots in my ass muscles every night for a month and two weeks so far. He thanks me regularly for doing what I do so our dreams of a family can come true. He’s always finding ways to be affectionate. I love him so much and I truly am blessed to have him.

My husband played with our son for several hours today so I could rest and nap. I’ve been so exhausted, when I have DS we’re watching tons of tv so my husband makes sure they don’t turn the tv on at all when he has him.

He’s also been a rockstar at supporting me during this stressful first tri. My anxiety has been super high being PGAL + the hormones just make me crazy.

He also has been taking Care of most of the housework, cooking, and grocery shopping on top of work and coaching high school basketball. I’m pretty lucky.

My husband has been doing all of the dishes because I’ve been so tired. 😍🥰😍

I’m judging gymnastics this weekend (which I LOVE, best hobby that I get paid for) so I was gone all day. I got a photo from MH that he picked me up some macaroons from a French patisserie in town. My FAV.

I’m really appreciating that my husband has been handling all the poopy diapers lately - my stomach just can’t deal with it right now!

I'm so glad to hear so many of us have great support from our SO!

DH has been amazing to me. I mean, he always is, but he's stepping up even more with this pregnancy!

PLUS, he talks to baby every night. Tells baby to stick and keep growing. For some reason, it helps ease my anxiety.

My DH is amazing. He takes DS anytime he's home so I can rest and try not to be sick. He has taken over all poopy diapers, cooking, cleaning; pretty much everything. He holds my hand when I feel badly & brings me my nausea meds.

Basically he is a saint. I always love him, but how selfless he is right now just really underlines for me what a great man and father he is.

My husband is literally the best. He's the most attentive and loving man on the planet. He will do whatever I need whenever I need it. He's so selfless, I am the luckiest woman alive.

He does the dishes when I am nauseous, he does whatever when I am nauseous. He will drive wherever to get food. He handles DS when I've had a long day with him. Just amazing.

I LOVE all the love for our SOs on this thread!

MH and I have always been so active, particularly around the house (we're house flippers on the side for fun). I thought I would have more energy than I have lately, but he has been so wonderful about making sure I am resting and taking care of reno projects I normally would have without making me feel like a burden. AND this morning after I got out of an excruciatingly long meeting at the office he called and said he would like to take me on a special date tonight, and if there was any particular food that I wanted or anything that was grossing me out (meat has been making me gag).

@suzycupcake my DH also has a servant's heart, and he too has become to adept at just figuring out what I need as things change with me.

DH has always taken care of me, but lately he's gone above and beyond by chasing around our 11 month old and generally taking over all household chores. I go from starving, to sick, to starving again in no time flat and he's always ready to get me whatever I need. A real great guy.

I may not have an SO or DH, but all of your beautiful answers give me hope that someday in the future I will find someone to love as wonderful as all of yours ❤️

WinchesterGirl · January 2019

@oklahomak Hey! Fellow real estate-er over here! We don't flip, but I'm an agent & we do our own rentals & renovations when we buy a new one.

@deecherise He is out there, girl. Sometimes you have to weed through some frogs to find your prince.

suzycupcake · January 2019

And in the meantime @deecherise, maybe that prince will be your baby. Maybe you will have a boy in there

I feel like Oprah though knowing mine's a boy. Everyone gets a boy!

My DH does way too much, he has the boys every morning and evening because our nanny has annoying hours, and I have a long commute. He works what is officially a PT job, but often requires FT hours. He is a PhD student. He volunteers 5-15 hours a week for our synagogue. I'm sure I'm missing stuff.
And when I told him that even though we wanted this baby I was worried because he already has too much on his plate. He said "I'm not worried, we went from 1 to 2 without a problem, we will find a way to make 2 to 3 work."
