My guy rocks.
The biggest things that stand out would be when we moved 3 hours away from our hometown to go to school, he planned a big surprise birthday party for me and invited all my family and friends. He told me he was taking me out for dinner at my favourite restaurant, and when he opened the doors to the dining room there, everyone popped out and yelled HAPPY BIRTHDAY! He also decorated the restaurant, baked me a special cake (he always bakes cakes for my birthday), footed the bill (hard to do when you're broke college students) and managed to sneakily decorate our apartment with a million "19"s dangling from the ceiling.
He missed one of my birthdays when I was traveling on a school trip, and when I came back, I found an invitation from him in the mail (we lived together haha) inviting me to my own birthday party--location: upstairs, last room at the end of the hallway, this house. He baked me a cake, decorated the room, and had a pinata (I'd never had one before!) with pin the tail on the donkey :laugh:
That guy rocks at birthdays. This past year he baked me my cake and made crab legs, which was amazing considering we had spent the past few hours on a plane and hadn't had any sleep that night.
He's good at surprises, too. I've been blindfolded and driven to conservation parks for romantic hikes, fairs, special dinners...
Brb. Gotta go smother him with some lovin now0 -
completely supports my dreams to become a fitness model and bikini competitor.0

Very simple answer......He loved me.
^^This.... it's not so much what he does but who he is. And that he loves me unconditionally. He truly is my best friend!!0 -
Wow, he has done quiet a few actually.
The one year for Valentine's Day he hired someone to come to the house to give me a private massage. He wanted me so pampered that I wouldn't even need to leave the house.
A few months ago I was stressed so when the kids went to bed he told me to go put on my comfy clothes. Came down in yoga pants and tank top... he had the roll out mattress on the floor and candles lit, soft music... and gave me the best hot stone massage ever!
But.. I have to say the top of the top.... last March I broke my left tib / fib in multiple locations and had to have major surgery. I couldn't do stairs for +2months and was in a wheelchair .... turned the front room into my bedroom and he slept downstairs the entire time. Brought down mattress from spare room and used that as his bed every single night until I was able to start using stairs......... THAT is love.0 -
It was Mother's Day weekend this year and I had planned my dad's surprise 60th Birthday Party. There was tons of overtime being offered where my boyfriend worked, so he wasn't able to come. I had to travel 6 1/2 hours to the birthday party. I arranged to take the bus to my aunt's 2 1/2 hours away and go the rest of the way with her. My aunt ended up getting sick and told me the day before the party that she wasn't going to go. By that time it was too late to take the bus all the way home to where the party was going to be, so I resigned myself to the fact that I wasn't going to be going home for the surprise birthday party I planned for my dad. My boyfriend went to leave for work and said I'll see you in a couple days. I look at him start bawling and said I'm not going, I no longer have a way there, and explained what happened. He got home after midnight from work, and said wake me up at 8am, and we'll go to the birthday party. He gave up overtime, and saving up money to bring his family to Canada, to take me home, after only dating 3 months. He's a pretty awesome boyfriend!0

He wasn't my boyfriend at the time. It was just our first date. But he did what pretty much no guy has ever done for me. First, he actually asked me out on a date ... none of that "you want to hang out sometime?" nonsense. Secondly, he planned an entire evening for us. He actually mapped the whole thing out on paper ... dinner at one of my favorite restaurants, dessert at a local ice cream shop, and a round of miniature golf. And he sent me hydrangeas the day before because I had mentioned they were my favorite flower. For once, I felt special. I felt like he was pursuing me and trying to win me over, rather than walking around with the attitude that I should be grateful he was willing to spend time with me. I still have the sheet of paper he planned our first date on.
Two and a half months later, I would say one of the things I appreciate about him the most is that he knows exactly how to handle me when I am acting like a toddler. It's not very often, but it has happened, usually when we're about to be apart for a long time. I'll pick a fight over something small and stupid to avoid dealing with the fact that I'm sad about him leaving (or me leaving). He doesn't give in and play along. He lets me know (in a firm but gentle way) that I'm being ridiculous and that he is not going to indulge my behavior. This has taught me to be more appreciative of the time we have together, and it has given me more respect for him as a man because he is not willing to give me a false apology and act like he did something wrong when he knows full well that he didn't.0 -
There are many. With my weight loss he has been supportive. I was trying to decide between a fitbit or heart rate monitor watch. I choose the watch. I discussed with him how it would help me keep in a good heart rate range while walking. He said buy it. After talking about how I had been exercising for 3 wks he asked about calorie burning doing things during the day. I told him about the fitbit and he said I should get it if I think it will help with my goal. He wants me to succeed.0

Everything!
I work full time and carry 13 credits. He cooks and cleans so I have time to study. He opens doors for me. He walks on the traffic side of the sidewalk. He respects me. He helps me with my coat and my chair. He drops me off and picks me up at the door if the weather is bad. And if the weather is good, he offers his arm as we walk to the door together. He always puts gas in my car and washes the windows. He always drives when we go out.
Honestly it drives my mom nuts that the independant daughter she raised allows a man to do all this for her. My reply is that although I can take care of myself, it makes him happy to do these things for me. And what am I losing by making him happy in these small ways?
The best part? He thinks he is the luckiest man in the world.0 -
I had always wanted to attend University but it wasn't something my parents encouraged in me (I have to admit that I wasn't the overachiever type). They wanted me to get a good job after high school and work. So I never had the self-confidence to even fathom the thought of going to University. At some point in my life, I was in a dead-end job and I was dating this guy named John.
One day, we had plans to go to a movie and he came to pick me up. When he arrived, he told me that there was something he wanted to do before we went to the movies. He brought me to the kitchen table and told me I needed to complete a few documents. He had gone to every University and College in our city to get the application forms for the program I was interested in, and he had picked up all of the application forms for a student loan. He sat there with me until I had filled out everything and then took the forms back and mailed them himself.
Even though we are not together, to this day, I give him alot of credit for my degree!0 -
"Sign the divorce papers. Maybe that wasn't what you were looking for."
Oh no you didn't...
Oh yes you did!!!0 -
My husband isn't big on grand romantic gestures, and honestly neither am I. But the best thing he's ever done for me is letting me be myself, with no criticisms or complaints (unfortunately, this was not something my ex-husband was capable of doing).
When I have a bad day, my husband is completely fine with handling dinner and letting me dominate the PS3 while I chase the pain away with a few beers (and maybe some vodka if it was an especially bad day). He compromises with me and never makes me feel like my interests are stupid or unworthy just because they're different from his.0 -
Can I really say that on here!0

Gave me 2 beautiful children. What more could I ask for. OH, and when I'm down he will dance for me ... which is totally hilarious!!0

Aww! What a great idea for a thread!
1.) This past valentine's day, my fiancee waited up late at night until I had fallen asleep. He wrote out notes/reasons why he loved me and placed a white tulip with each one all over the house in places he knew I would go (My bathroom counter, the kitchen counter, the bedroom, in the refrigerator with my lunch, on my car)...unfortunately, they were tulips and wilted quite a bit...still precious.
2.) Took me on a surprise date to see the CAPS play in DC...he didn't tell me where we were going until we got to our metro stop and I saw all the people in jerseys...Love me some hockey.
An uplifting idea for a threat. I am going to enjoy reading everyone's stories

I don't know that there's one thing. He did sit with me in the ER when I was freaking out and being a hypochondriac once (embarrassing!). He does a lot of small things though, like lots of back rubs and stuff.0

Always nice to have a SO that lets you enjoy your gaming

1. When he took care of me after each melanoma surgery I had. For a man who gets squeamish at the sight of blood, changing surgical dressings and helping shower and go to the bathroom can be humiliating, and he just loved me and helped me when I really truly needed him.
2. When he drug my *kitten* up to the top of Mt. Washburn to watch the sun rise one year ago today and ask me to be his wife.
3. Cook me dinner. Words cannot describe how excited I get when I get home and he makes me dinner.0 -
He found the door and left 0

there are lots I could choose from but my 3 favorite are named Alli, Abbi, and Addi even though they drive me nuts on a daily basis I wouldn't trade them for anything 0

When my hubby and I were still dating, he surprised me with a trip to Disneyland and Seaworld when he returned from deployment. I got to do the Dolphin Discovery where we actually got in the water with the dolphins. And we had "Lunch With Shamu" and got great seats, really up close and personal to the whales. Then we went to Disneyland, the happiest place on earth! It was amazing!0

Even though she is my ex, I still love her for what she has done. She pretty much sacrificed her body so that we could have babies. She has given me my beautiful kids.
This is an amazing thing to hear.
Good for you! 0 -

I wouldn't know where to begin. My hubby is just amazing, we've been married for 8yrs.
Recently, my hubby knew I was having a crazy hectic day, so while I was putting my oldest daughter (2yrs old) to bed he made me some tension tamer tea, turned the lights off, lit a candle played piano music in the background, then made a bubble bath for me. and gave me a half hour back rub that night before bed.
But really it's the every day things that he does. Like, when he gets home from work (after he eats supper) gives our 2 year old her bath, and while I am settling her into bed he takes care of our 3 month old, and always lets me shower even if the baby is screaming

Lets me stick a pinwheel out toe sunroof of his car and yell, "Wheeee. We. We. Weeeeeee."
(On a side note, I will never understand why men and kids love that and many women just glare.)0 -
So many...Nothing like walking around town window shopping and him suggesting we go into one place to check out their couples massage packages only to find balloons, cake, a massage therapist, and someone to do a mani/pedi waiting for me while he went home and made my favorite dinner while I was being pampered!! This was my birthday present...and that was when we had only been dating for 4 months!! 0

Wow, sounds like you are blessed. Does he have a brother? JK.0
