Your asking this & my reading it has made me think about something all day. I lost my husb. 5 yrs. ago (seems like last wk.) but I remembered how, when we'd go to buffets & had shrimp, he would sit & peel my pile of shrimp for me. I'd say "you don't have to do that". He'd say "I know you don't like to do it so I'm doing it for you". Talk about simple things but I thought about that all day. Just another way to say I love you.
Thank you for asking such a positive question. The negative things just don't seem important anymore. The positives sure do though.

Pat brings me a cup of coffee in bed every morning. What a great way to start the day. Besides that, he puts up with all of my oddities (and they are not insignificant, lol) and he cracks me up on a regular basis. He is the best.

My Mother passed last week, the day before she passed I came down with a virus that had me down to two days. My sister and I were making plans to funeral and my sister asked if we could have a gathering at my house after the funeral services. I was still not feeling so well and the house needed quite a bit of work. My Dear Husband piped up immediately, and I said I will take care of the house and patio and he cleaned for 2 1/2 days solid, everything was spotless!!

He has planted them on the front edge of the garden, probably a 50 foot row. I am SO touched...
Bearisgray, those are all ways of saying I love you...far more expressive than flowers and candy. We just need to recognize those actions for what they are.

You ladies are so blessed. It brought tears to my eyes. I have been married 28 years. And separated for the last 5. I did all of those things. I cannot even remember him doing anything for me. In the end, I did one more thing (for me), I left! It's nice to know their really are men out there that are different.

I have been lucky in my marriage. I was a single mom with 3 kids. (Ex left and that was OK) My DH loved me and my kids and raised them as his own,. We had 3 more kids together so it was a full house but had lots of laughter. He treats me like a queen. He cooks, he cleans, he keeps my car full of gas and ready to go anywhere and supports me in what ever I want to do. He's is very encouraging with my sewing and quilting. He's my world. We have had 28 years of happiness and hopefully, many more.
