    I don't really miss doing anything for her. I just miss doing things with her. :(

    I really miss all the self loathing that I built up trying really hard to be more like his mom.

    Oh. Wait. No I don't!

    (for the record, my Ex MIL was probably the most perfect human, in a Donna Reed, good Christian wife and mother, sort of way. I was reminded of this on a daily basis.)

    I would have to say cooking for him...
    Also the happy noises that occurred when I did other favors... ;)

    Yes, those things. Cooking for my guy has always been something I enjoy doing. But I never felt like he did anything to make me happy. Eventually being happy to do things for him wasn't enough to keep me happy.

    Ditto. Even though I had full time job, still made sure home cooked meal ready when he walked in door. Loved cooking for him until he stopped appreciating and started demanding...he sucked the joy out of that.

    I'll play nicely.

    I miss fixing things for her. It gave me a sense of purpose.

    I miss mowing the yard. It was so quiet.... I'd get up early on Sunday morning and get in my grungy clothes and sneak out of his house. I finally got strong enough to start the mower myself and that was a proud moment. I'd mow and sweat and he would bring me water and feed the kids (3 rowdy boys; 2 of mine & 1 of his). I'd put my headphones on and we'd just do yard work for as long as we could stand it.... he'd get the kids settled and do the weedeating and we'd cut limbs or pull weeds. We didn't even need to talk and we worked together well as a team. I miss the teamwork and the quiet time.

    Having it be appreciated when I would buy flowers. I never buy them for myself and sometimes they're just nice to have around, even if it's only the time between the time I buy them and I gave them to her. Also post it notes left in inconspicuous places for her to find whenever so she'd know I was thinking of her.

    WOW....now you are an awesome guy!
    The post it notes - OMG sweetest thing ever!

    I used to do something similar, except I used index cards. I had forgotten about that.

    Nothing. He never appreciated a damn thing I did for him. Pfft doubt he even appreciated me giving birth to our daughter cause he hasnt done anything for her or even seen her for almost a year now.

    Sending him cards for every freaking holiday known to Hallmark (except the obvious, like Mother's Day). I would mail them, even though we lived in the same house. I miss that. And cooking, and the other thing I can't post here.

    having his back.
    making him grilled cheese sandwiches in the middle of the night between sex sessions
    taking over his videogame controller so he could go pee and not die
    getting things off the high shelves for him
    turning his bad day around

    True story, I miss that I bought her a tummy tuck after her hard work and 6 weeks later she fabricated a fight to get me to move out and then a restraining order and then divorce! NICE
    I still believe in soulmates and love eternally

    I miss being extremely nice to her in public when she did not deserve it and it absolutely pissed her off to the point that cops had to calm her down...happened twice!

    As for my ex....I miss the hugs but, I don't miss the reasons he had for giving me them.

    Yeah...i know. You can wish that your ex would DIAF, but is there something you miss doing for them?

    For example. I miss cooking breakfast for my ex every Sunday. I'd get up early, make the kids something to eat, then cook up breakfast for us in bed. No kids were allowed in the room until we were finished eating. Then normally she could go back to sleep for a while and I would play with the kids. Weird but I miss that.

    Wow! I was going to post the exact same thing. I would make him breakfast every Sunday, He'd eat it in bed and I would take care of the boys while he enjoyed a quite, relaxing morning. I miss it too.
