Can I brag about my husband for a minute?

Have to say these were not the responses I was hoping for.
Not sure how romantic you will think this is, but here goes. For the last year i've had to work 2 jobs to make ends meet. He has always been super supportive and has always helped me in any way he can. Lately, I've gotten really depressed about the weight i've gained due to not being able to take care of myself like i'd like. I recently put in my notice at the second job, so i'm down to one job now (yay!) but that means the budget just got a lot smaller for me. He knows all of this and this past weekend took me out and bought me some kettlebells and resistance bands. All complete with training on how to use them (he's an ex powerlifter). I thought it was so sweet and supportive of him to do that for me and it really showed me how much he cares about me and my health and well being.
Oh, and he massaged my sore muscles afterwards
That is absolutely romantic! He knows it's something important to you, and put a lot of thought and effort into finding something that would help you achieve your goals, not just something that would help him into your pants, which - let's just be honest - sometimes that's what a "romantic gesture" really is 0 -

I can honestly say that I have never once felt that was the motivation behind anything he's ever done for me. And in turn, he's never had to try for that... 0 -

I have no issues with what people do in the privacy of their own homes... I just have to wonder how someone decides it should be shared with a large group of faceless strangers... Like... there you are... sitting in front of a computer.. or staring into your phone... and suddenly you say to yourself... "I bet the world wants me to share this..." WHEN the reality is Umm no...keep that *kitten* to yourself... besides anyone with a modicum of talent and imagination could scribble down that nonsense...
Probably because I have social/emotional issues due to having been raised in a religious cult in Alaska... pretty much cut off from all society outside our "church family." Not kidding. Some 15 years after getting out, still figuring out how the world really works.
The other option is that they are a hater, disliking the sweet, prefering the bitter. Your post was sweet and romantic, and they want to rain on your parade. They yell TMI all day, except when discussing what sex positions they use with some radom person while on their rag. But, that's just my perspective, I could be wrong. Don't let the haters bring you down!0 -
Does my hubby buying me Plants Vs Zombies Garden Warfare count as a romantic gesture? lol. He's too grossed out by germs to ever pass food into my mouth from his. He did do something for me recently, but mentioning it would earn me a strike :blushing:0

If you love it, heck yeah
Someone referred to my post as "50 shades of gray" territory but I could write 5,000 shades of gray if I had wanted to LOL0 -
He's my "ex" but he still rubs my feet for me while I fall asleep, almost every night. Sometimes, after I fall asleep, he'll do the dishes and let the dog out. I'm pretty sure he's the best ex-boyfriend ever. 0

He's not an ex. Denial isn't just what he gets when he asks for sex.0 -

Your comment and avatar picture match perfectly. I can totally imagine you saying this with that face.
/ thread. Drops mic.
Yeah, this.
I have a cousin that just had a baby... and she posted this big long novel on her husband's FB wall with tons of intimate details about what a wonderful father he is, etc... and it's like, isn't he sitting on the couch next to you right now? Drives me nuts.
If she doesn't post it publicly to show all of her friends that she has the best husband ever...then it doesn't mean a thing!0 -

"How are you doing in there babe?" My husband asks as he steps into the bathroom.
From behind the shower curtain, I respond, "Great, just started shaving.
:huh:0 -
He came up behind me, slapped my rear and said "Dang, there's only half as much to smack now! You have gotten super skinny!"
Masoganistic? Yeah, but he notices how hard I've worked to get to where I am and for that I'm grateful.
I love my redneck.0 -

My husband has always thanked me for raising the kids so well and working hard, at home and out of the home.
I in turn have always thanked him for providing for us and being a great husband and father.
Now that I am on this program to lose weight and normalize my BP, he is always saying how grateful he is that I am working so hard to make myself healthy.
We don't do flowers, candy and "normal" romantic things...we take time each day to appreciate each other. It may be sappy but it's held for 35 years.....0 -
This is getting a lot of unwarranted hate.0

If my man entered the bathroom and opened the curtain on me while I showered I certainly would want something more than a choc. covered cherry in my mouth. I would be offended if that is all I got. :ohwell:
Yeah, no kidding.
Eta: we did just spend the weekend together celebrating our 12 year anniversary by installing a new floor and deck carpeting in his fishing boat. We are so freaking romantic.0 -

My husband has sex with me regularly. As long as he does that, he can do whatever he wants. That's as romantic as we get.
In for regular sex. :laugh: :laugh:0 -
I set out a path of rose pedals and chocolates down the hall to our bedroom where I placed a new vacuum cleaner with a big red bow on it!0

^ QFT. All of this.0 -
My hubby is a truck driver and if he's gone for more than 5 days he sends me flowers. I know they will arrive, but it's still sweet to receive. Also he calls me every night just to say good night and pray with me and the kids. I am SO blessed!!
Some of his fellow truckers make fun if him, saying he's whipped. He says he'd rather be whipped than miserable and alone like them.
Not gonna tell you what happens when he gets home, use your imagination!!0 -

Haters gonna hate.
The other day, my pastor said, what's wrong with happiness? My five year old blurts out, "Nothing!" A five year old has figured this out. Sigh.
I think it's hard for people to hear about happy relationships when they are suffering in a cold singles scene. Everyone wants to be loved, but all that's being offered is hookups. Really sad out there. I think these types of posts trigger unhappy feelings for some.

LOL I hear that!!!
The secretary tells me mine is whipped all the time- I rarely ask him to do stuff other than suffer my busy schedule and time away from him for dance events- everything else he does because he wants to- which is awesome- and apparently makes him whipped. shrug- I'm okay with it. 0 -

OP, You're getting a little goofed on but most of us, with the possible exception of a certain large bird, get that you're just starting a positive message thread. :flowerforyou:0 -
My husband worked 19 days in a row to provide extra money to pay off our bills. He regularly works 50-60 plus a crappy commute. I'm so gratefull that he works so hard that I don't mind that I had to take over the cooking and dishes. Yes, I work full time too and Yes, dished are my least favorite chore.0

Yeah, we usually are both working every year, and this year we were supposed to be off, at the same time. Lol, it didn't happen, he got called in, so whatever. He for some reason is convinced we are married an extra year longer though. He doesn't believe me when I tell him otherwise.0 -
I ran this morning and came home to my husband cooking my breakfast - a delicious egg and cheese sandwich, this was all before he dropped our children off at daycare before he went to school. he is brilliant.0
