Cat bringing and sharing important things like cows having best friends.
Not revealing the ending of a good show.
Wine bringing!!!!!
Ok this might sound a bit mean, but a very big gesture for me to show someone I really love him is to clean his house, wash the plates etc etc. Usually I don’t appreciate the way life wants us to do this kind of things in a house (just because I am a woman?) so if you see me doing these things in someone else’s home, it really means I love them and respect them!
Heating up a mug of tea for me. Before we sit down to watch a show each night, my husband will silently microwave a mug, put a teabag in it, and wordlessly bring it to me.
Memes.
I might be overthinking something he said (still early stages for us) or old insecurities come out and attack me. But then suddenly I see something silly from him on my phone and it’s all back to normal.
A clean house at the end of the day.
Surprise chocolate from the grocery store.
A car with a full gas tank.
Uninterrupted shower. (The kids!)
Listening.
+1 filling up with gas ♥️♥️♥️
-grandparents clipping news articles and mailing them
-watching ANOTHER meg ryan movie with me
-getting up this time with the baby
-ordering his preferred pizza instead of mine (bbq…why?!!)
-treating for a manicure
-starting the tea kettle
-remembering special days even when i don’t
Ferry boats.
We took a family apple picking trip yesterday afternoon and my husband, with a twinkle in his eye, suggested we take the ferry there. We were handsomely rewarded with a bald eagle sighting.
To me it was very much about helping out when coming home from a 12+ hour work day. Coming into the house, saying hi to the kids and partner and then doing the dishes, lunches for the kids, laundry and getting the kids to bed. Seeing her sitting in bed with a book or texting with friends, or sometimes even just fall asleep made me very happy.
But she decided that this wasn’t for her so she left me. So none of that wonderful serenity anymore.
Wow I’m sorry to hear that. We don’t go in expecting the worst, but when the worst happens it’s a devastating blow. I can certainly tell you this YOU are what women today WANT!! Men like you are NOT RARE!! Don’t be afraid to step out and give love another shot average people shut down and call it quits….you brother are NOT nor have EVER been AVERAGE.
Much love and respect from one king to another! Remember not every woman is out there to do evil and harm.
i don’t know you sir but i had to write something .. i felt your pain through your words . i get it . the frustration we feel when our loved ones tell us that they are looking for something else . i believe that sharing pain makes it feel less “exclusive ” , less lonely . i hope this helps . i hope you find someone that will loved you and cherish you for who you are because you deserve it , we all do .
– when my love gives me kiss before he heads off to work and I’m laying in bed.
– when he brings home wine while I’m cooking and plays DJ instead of turning on sports. And we chat all through dinner, making, eating and linger at the table.
– when I was working long hours and he would pick me up to drive me to my car (3 minutes away) so that I would leave work and come home. It’s such a tiny drive it always made me laugh and laugh which is the best thing at the end of a stressful day.
– catch ups with good friends where you don’t sensor anything and leave feeling a 100 pounds lighter. And usually so many belly laughs that I wonder how I don’t have a six pack by now!
– when friends tell their kids that you’re coming to visit and they’re so excited when you show up!
Recently overheard in small town book shop:
(Browser to shopkeeper) “How are you today?”
Shopkeeper: “Great!!!”
Browser: “Wow! Why so great?”
Shopkeeper: “My husband brought me a latté this morning. Lattés are my love language!”
Made my day too! ?
Love this so much. It is the simple little things that mean so much.
I swear my husband’s love language is video games. If I actively watch him play video games, share opinions about what I think he should play next, and research things for him, he feels so dang loved and it’s wonderful.
+1 for this. It took me a long time to appreciate what video games are to my boyfriend, but he loves nothing more than when we’re playing a game together that we both enjoy. I’m hyper-competitive, but I’ll never match his gaming reflexes so it can be really frustrating for me, but we’ve found a few that work great. “Overcooked” is a favorite for us to play together!
my husband cooks for us. he knows i don’t enjoy cooking and with two little kids (5 & 1), it’s nearly impossible. he takes it upon himself to do all of the grocery shopping and cooking for our family. each time he feeds me, i feel an endless love from him. he’s very type a, and knowing how much love he puts into our weekly menu & grocery list, and the research he puts into feeding me, is so unbelievably sexy. food is the way to my heart, and he took it from the beginning.
Loved every beautiful statement?
