Nicest thing your H has done for you

Helped me clean the bathroom in the middle of the night when I redecorated (and I mean redecorated) it with red wine sick. That, my friends, is love.

This.

We've never really been through anything really bad as a couple i.e. no one has died, no one has fallen ill *touches wood* however OH is there when I come home from work stressed and will run a bath for me or if I'm poorly will buy me flowers/chocolates ? Just having him being there is nice!

Accepting my son as his own and patiently taking on board all of the issues, meltdowns, restrictions on our lives and challenges that comes with having an autistic child. Every day I appreciate that it takes a very special person to do this.

When I had my asthma attack that landed me in intensive care H was working in Nottingham and I was back in South Shields.

He was working shifts and was unable to take time off so he finished a night shift at 6am drove the 4 hours to see me and spent all day with me (nurses allowed him to ignore visiting hours) then drove back and went straight to work.

We'd only been seeing each other about a year and were only 20 years old. My mam had to see him briefly before he went in to prepare him for all the tubes etc. He told me years later that when he left me he just sat in the car and cried.

Since then he's been a little asthma hitler. He wakes me up if he doesn't think I've taken my inhalers on an evening (sooo annoying) and gets very strict with me if he thinks me overdoing things is starting to affect my asthma.

My H can be a bugger and is a nightmare when it comes to general selfishness but he does look after me.

Being patient and understanding that I am not ready for babies and want to enjoy my career. Everyone in his family has had their children by the time they are 25 and I know he would desperately like to do the same.

And wearing the dinosaur onsie I got him because I think he looks like a dinosaur

*must.hold.back.tears*

When I found out that my Nan was terminally ill I sat in the shower for ages and cried. He retrieved me, shivvering from the shower, wrapped me in a warm towel and took me to the bedroom where he just held me and let me cry.

I have one of those too! He nags me as I am so rubbish at taking my inhalers (remembers has not taken them yet this morning, or antibiotics, or pill ....)

there's two occasions really, this last week he has been fab. I didn't know but he was calling the hospital every hour or so to see how i was when I was in last week, they didn't tell me he had called as I was too out of it. Hes really looked after me this last week, got out of bed every time I have needed the loo in the middle of the night, helped me get dressed, take knickers down and up again (though not seen me go to the loo, not been *that* ill) got me into the shower, put on the horrid compression stockings and gone out to the shops to buy whatever i have wanted to eat etc.

the other would be when my cat died. Im very lucky in that ive not lost anyone who I have loved yet in life and she was the first. You all know how much I love my moggs so I was distraught when she went. He was amazing them too.

Ive gone all sentimental now.

Nope, a big salty one has just dripped on my desk. (tear I mean, you dirty things).

By loving me unconditionally, supporting me, being there whenever I need him, including when we had a long distant relationship, if I ever was having a bad time he would drive 200 miles to be with me at the drop of the hat, by being amazing with my family all of which adore him.

I feel like calling him now just to tell him I love him ?

ETA, when I discovered a lump in my breast the morning of the appointment with the hospital we sat on the bad and just cried, not knowing what the outcome would be but him just holding me and telling me everything was going to be ok was invaluable.

im a pregnant hormonal emotional wreck today, i blame hollyoaks last night for it..

The other day I had a panic attack in the bath. He sat with me, rubbed my back and breathed with me until I calmed down, then he washed my hair for me and helped dry me off. It's sounds a bit silly that he looked after me like a child, but it meant a lot to me. He does things like that for me a lot though.

Pompey that post about your nan made me sob.

I can't think of anything specific. He held my hair back every day for three months when I had morning sickness, he holds me when I cry and he helps me put my socks on in the morning (tummy gets in the way). He does the housework without complaint if I am feeling tired and brings me little treats at work.

I have to say, Mr F has been briliant thus far into the pregnancy. Liek Saisi, he has to help me with my socks, and boots and stuff..Hes even quite taken with pedicures now!

Even when im a crying hormonal mess he reassures me im not that bad, it'll all be worth it, hes so proud of me for cooking up a baby for us and hel never ever be able to repay me for it

Sorry Kharvo ☹️

This is my H too. He has been an absolute star through the first 12 weeks when i was floored with Morning Sickness. He now gets up at 5.30 every morning to make me a cup of tea/coffee and breakfast. He's such a wonderful man and i love him to bits. Today he brought me scrambled eggs on toast in bed and it was amazing.

He says that doing all the little things for me when i'm not up to it is his part of the pregnancy to deal with. I've just to concentrate on looking after myself and baby RKB for him.

Me too. In fact this whole thread is just full of such lovely things your H's have done for you.

Bloody hell you lot, trying to look like I'm working here!! [:'(]

Just texted OH to tell him I love him ?

Made my heart ache for you my lovely x

Mine would be when my Dad had a stroke he did everything we needed and more, he now does all the DIY for my parents to make sure things are safe for Dad.

He even offered to be his full time carer when my mum had to be rushed to hospital and it was touch and go for a while.

He helped me when I put my back out and helped me get dressed on and off the loo, in and out the bath etc every little thing.

In the last two weeks with the sudden death of my cousin, he has been great just doing everything, and with me having my tooth out and getting a raging infection in my face and it all being swollen and horrid, just pampering me!

Mines a hospital one too. 2 years ago I had a small operation but afterwards I could not wee! I had to keep drinking but in the end my bladder was so full due to nothing coming out that I was in agony. OH was so good at looking after me and calming me down. When the nurses were trying to put the catheter in (but struggling for some reason) the curtain opened and I saw his face and he was sitting there crying bless him as he felt helpless. I then cried because he had to leave and I was scared.

He then arrived first thing the next morning with fresh clothes, all my favourite comfy ones (with a choice of 2 tops as he knows i'm fussy) make up wipes, tooth brush, hair brush and breakfast.

Even after yesterday's events I still owe a lot to my H, so I'm posting about it. When I was miscarrying I would have probably killed myself if it wasnt for him. I had 4 days of bleeding not knowing what was happening, and whether I was still pregnant. I sobbed for 4 straight days. He took the time off work from his new job and sat with me and held me while I sobbed. He sobbed with me a few times. He held me while I sobbed in the hospital after the scan. The following week he had to go back to work, I was still bleeding, but he didn't leave without making sure I had a drink in the morning and he came home and cooked tea every night, and cooked anything that I felt I could stomach. He followed me up to the loo every time I went and sat on the bath rubbing my back while I was sobbing because I had to look at what was happening to me. Whatever *** we have thrown at each other I know that he loves me.

I'm sobbing now

? xxx

They aren't all bad all the time then ?

My H has got me through a lot of rough times. He knows exactly what to say/do to bring me out of a panic/anxiety attack.

I get affected by the weather a lot and rain makes me very grumpy. The other day he turned all the lights in the kitchen round so they were facing the same way and made me stand under them with my eyes closed, talking to me pretending we were outside in the sunshine.

He used to have a secret chocolate stash which he'd bring out when I was feeling down.

We haven't had many major crises either so mine is a bit ordinary. Last December I had looooads of essay deadlines for my Masters and used to go into work every weekend for the quiet to do research and type the bally things. I was on my last weekend before they were due and had been stressing all week. Came back from my freezing cold office having finally finished to a bubble bath, big roast dinner and christmas deccies up in the room (we were in a shared house) as congratulations. I had ignored him for months due to deadlines bless him and it was such a lovely thing to do. He's not big on soft things like this so it has stuck in the memory!

We are lucky that nothing like this has happened. Neither of us have been ill (touch wood) and I havent had a loss in the family since we've been together.

My husband isnt the type to go in for big romatic gestures and he is a fairly laid bakc bloke who hardly texts me back etc. But I know he loves me. He welcomed me to his family and introduced me to his children who are his world. He married me. He wants to make babies with me. And that is all I need. ?

Aww, what lovely Hitched Husbands. I’ve been welling up at some of these even though I’m a newbie and don't really know you all yet. It’s also made me realise how lucky we are not to have had any serious health problems. But I couldn’t leave Mr Button out, I think he still deserves a mention for just always being there with a hug when I need it. I’ve been having a rough time at work which has left me feeling quite blue but he has been amazingly supportive and is encouraging me to look at other things that would make me happier even if it means a substantial pay cut. He just says we’ll work it out and no amount of money is worth seeing me upset.

Dont be embarrassed EF. im sure its lovely whatever it is.

See they are all good really...

Mine would be when I was made redundant, I was out of work for four months when I was offered a good opportunity that meant I had to live away from home during the week. We are the sort of couple who spend a lot of time togther if that makes sense so this was hard for us. We had only been together 18 months but he supported me the whole time, helped me move my stuff without ever saying 'what about me' The weekend I moved there when he left on the Sunday I cried in the car park saying goodbye and he later confessed he cried almost all the way home because he had to leave me! And once when one of my strange housemates was being weird he offered to drive (over 2 hours) at 10pm to make sure I was ok. He also surprised me on our anniversary by driving up to see me for the evening even though he then had a 2 and half hour drive to work in the morning.

I luffs him ?

? for you all, and you especially OB. You'll be ok you know xx

My lovely D has picked me up literally from the floor many a time. When I was at the most ill with my depression he used to phone me twice a day to see what I was doing, how I was feeling. He's raced home from work several times because I've just sobbed down the phone at him. He would come in, turn all the lights on, gently sit me up from wherever I was laying crying and put me in the shower. He would bring me a cup of tea and some clean clothes, dress me and sit me on the sofa with a film whilst he made dinner.

I had one particularly bad time two years ago where I was paralysed with anxiety and fear for four days. He held my hand almost continuously for those four days so I didn't feel alone or as frightened. He sat up with me in the middle of the night with all of the lights on, going round checking all the plugs were turned off, all the windows and doors were locked and then gently put me back to bed with the bedside light on. He insisted we went out for short periods of time to get some fresh air, but as soon as I started to panic he brought me home again and sat with me.

He told me a few months ago that he dreads the winter and coming home and finding the house in darkness. He said he hates not knowing if I'm home or not and not knowing what he might find. He says he always fears the worst. Even now if i've not been out of the house for a day or two he insists we go out for dinner or to the cinema, to give me some sort of social life and make sure i'm not just staring at the same four walls all the time.

Am crying now. He's such an amazing person. He's been dealing with me like this since we were 19.

When my boss died suddenly last Oct he was the only one who understood how devastated I was, even my friends didnt get it. I loved that man like a father & many a night I cry myself to sleep over it & OH holds me & strokes my hair - he doesnt tell me that things move on or any of the crap other people have said / say to me. Im actually crying now just typing this. I cant explain it - he was the most wonderful man & he deserved to enjoy retirement with his family, his children & grandchildren - not die from a stress related heart attack.

On a brighter note - OH was always terrifed of dogs. I am a massive dog lover & my bichion frise is my baby. It took a couple of months but now he loves her like I do & she sleeps on our bed. He changed and took her on for me - I told him me & suzie were a package deal. I guess thats love. ?
