Such a nice thread :)
I appreciate my FI because :
He booked our honeymoon all by himself, even though I had my doubts he would get it done!
He washed all the dishes last night without me even asking.
He always brings water to bed with him for when I get thirsty in the middle of the night.
He let me watch Law & Order last night while the Stanley Cup finals were on.
AW.
I LOVE my FI because:
he's amazing, funny, understanding.
he's been a part of all the DIY crafts for the wedding instead of making me do it all myself like some other guys
he finished the last 30 invites so that we can have a easier evening the other day!
he's a clean freak! :D He does stuff around the house, cooks, cleans, etc, some weeks more than me!
he spends his half days doing stuff/fixing things around the house so I don't have to do it when I get out of work.
I appreciate him because:
He has been looking after me for the last week (I have been sick)
He makes me laugh and understands my quirks
He always goes out of his way to make me happy
Great thread!
I appreciate my hubby for:
Making me laugh when he can "tell" that I need one
Giving me shoulder rubs and back massages before bed when I'm sore
Doing dishes every night (I cook)
Being supportive of everything (right now I'm going thru a very hard time with my mother's bankruptcy)
He rubs my feet when I'm tired after a long day at work, and brings me water, snacks, etc., when I'm vegging on the couch.
He lets me be cranky when I'm stressed or tired, and lets me vent.
He doesn't get annoyed at my negligent home maintenance habits--like when I don't get around to cleaning/cooking etc. because I don't have time.
I appreciate FI for:
- going with me on Sunday to my art show and sitting with me for FIVE HOURS while I didn't sell anything.... and not once complaining
- Not griping about actually doing half of the housework
- cracking me up pretty much every day
- being supportive of me wanting a real wedding with all the fixins', even though he'd so much rather elope to vegas
Every day this week, he has texted me at work to ask me how my post-surgery, traumatized jaw is feeling--even when we were pissy at each other (2 days ago).
I appreciate FI because
--he put up with a few hours of shopping for an interview outfit yesterday and comforted me when i had a weeping breakdown in the middle of macy's because nothing fit...
--he doesn't complain when i put on Say Yes To the Dress
--he gives me back rubs on a regular basis
--he puts up with me when i'm in a bad mood and always tries to cheer me up
this was a good thread for me today, since i'm still a little peeved that he forgot our three year anniversary the other day.
The little things that I love:
- he has been genuinely invested and interested in planning the wedding with me and helping every step of the way
- he is endlessly patient even when I'm being a crab
- he takes awesome care of me when I feel sick
Awww yay. I love FH because
he bought and planted a bunch of flowers on our terrace one Saturday last month, while I was at work.
last night he got home twelve minutes before me, and managed to change his clothes, get the clothing tubs down from the storage crawl space, AND change the sheets on our bed. then he made me an egg-and-cheese sammich when I got home starving.
he is cool as a cucumber 95% of the time, in sharp contrast to my constant state of anxiety and tension. just don't play MarioKart with him, the other 5% is LOUD.
he watches Cake Boss with me and has even admitted to liking it.
I love how he's always up for anything. I just texted him with a list of everything I need/would like for us to do in the next 5 hours, and his response was: "Sure, love of my life. Sounds like a great plan." Now can't it always be that easy??
This is the perfect thread right now. My FI has been absolutely AMAZING. He is getting off work early today to go to my Dr appointment and driving me home. He has been so unbelievably supportive in a nerve racking time.
I am a teacher and I got my pink slip in May. Yesterday was my last day before summer and I was done at noon. He came home at the same time from work (which he NEVER does) to support me and take me out to eat.
This one's cute and I just noticed it:
I drink coffee every day. He never does, he quit caffeine years ago. Every time I run out of Splenda in the big container i use every day, I wake up to find that he has refilled it for me. Every time.
I am in love with my SO because:
He calmed me down yesterday before I went into the neuro doctor. I have had a bad headache for four days now and I was really nervous that something more was going on. He calmed me down and told me it was going to be ok.. he really helped because I was freaking out.
Hes so supportive of me in anything I want to do and he lets me know he is there for me whatever I decide.
He is always actively trying to grow himself and our business. Its so nice to be able to build our business together.
He handles my emotional outbursts I have (were LDR and occasionally I have my breakdown moments) and he actually listens to what I have to say even when I am a blubbering mess.
There are soooo many more things I can say about him.. in essence he is just perfect... for me.
Awww what a great thread! Espcially since I was INSANE yesterday and being mean to him because I was having a bad day (99% of the time I can calm myself down, but not yesterday).
1) He got me to quit smoking. It wasn't a "I'm going to quit dating you if you keep smoking" but the comment "I don't prefer smokers and honestly have never dated one, but you're special." It made me think "Aww, he likes me so much he just deals with the fact I smell like an ashtray 24/7" so I made the decision to quit.
2) He makes sure I have plenty of salt of the coming Zompacolypse (long story)
3) He asked both my parents for my hand in marriage before proposing. They said they were both in tears and love him for doing that. I never even really thought guys did that anymore, but it was special to my parents.
4) He will massage me whenever I ask.
5) He always makes sure the kitchen is clean and he is a GREAT cook even though we take turns because I enjoy cooking too.
6) When he talks about me to other people, they all think I am a super woman and the best gal in the world. He never complains about me to his friends and trust me, they would tell me if he did.
OMG I was just thinking about how much I appreciate my husband. Last night as I was half asleep in bed at 1:30 AM I heard some rustling. I used my cell phone as a light and looked on the floor and there was a HUGE COCKROACH crawling around. I woke my husband up and as he went to go get a cup to trap it in, it hid. I told my husband I wouldn't be able to sleep knowing it was in the room. There is crap EVERYWHERE because we are really busy and getting ready to move and go on a trip. So it could've been anywhere! I hid in the living room under a blanket while my husband banged around a lot in the bedroom. About 10 minutes later I came back in and the place was overturned and he had a defeated look on his face. He made a bait for the bugger and sat in the dark for 30 minutes waiting for it. We never did find it but my hubby was so sweet to do all that cuz he knew I couldn't sleep- and I was hiding on the couch! All this at 2 AM.
I appreciate my husband, who protects me from bugs!
He surprised me with a flower bouquet to celebrate the end of the school-year!
I'm going to try this, because I'm slightly annoyed with him right now. Again.
He took me to the dentist when a) I couldn't get an appointment and b) I wasn't going to go anyway because I'm absolutely terrified of the dentist. He still sits in the dentist's surgery with me, and holds my hand - he's had to do that alot.
He always makes an effort when he knows he's going to see me. (No sweatpants, have a shave, wear clean underpants, that sort of thing)
He can be left to order for me when we're out to dinner and I always know I'm going to get something good.
He understands that my swing dancing is important to me, and even though he's not a dancer (for all my trying to persuade him) does his best to understand that I may go off and hold hands with other men (and sometimes women) and that's ok. Even when I'm gone for days at a time.
He makes me laugh like I can't imagine anyone else can, and even when I'm in a rotten mood and find it more annoying than funny, he keeps trying.
He's always ready to listen when I'm having a bad day, or I've been on here torturing myself. He said "you can always tell me stuff and I'll listen 'till my ears bleed. Even then I'll try to keep listening" Cue tears. :)
Yeah, he's alright I guess. :)
This is so nice :)
I love my hubs because (ha! that rhymes):
- He takes out the trash all the time, even though he technically has more chores than I do. I just really hate the trash ... and doing dishes.
- When I needed something done for our wedding, I just asked, and it got done ... fast.
- If I need to sleep alone, he goes to the guest room without any complaints. I'm a really, really light sleeper.
- He knows that some things are important to me, and never tries to discourage me from doing anything I love, regardless of how silly it might seem to him.
- He's an extremely hard worker. He would rather die than not be able to provide for me and our future family. This impresses me because I'm not really that way unless I'm doing something I love.
- He lets me have most of the couch even though he's about 10 inches taller than me :)
Yesterday he took me to pick out all the paint colors for our new home (and i basically gave him no say in them at all) and today (while im stuck at work) he went and bought all the paint i wanted and started painting :)
Awe, this is a great thread and everyone has such sweet things to say.
Alright, lets give it a whirl...loving the FI because he takes time off work to help me and my office move this week.
He's my calm, rational, but still sympathetic better half.
When I'm not feeling well i come home to midol and a heating pad.
He is dilligent in keeping the washroom clean because I have mega OCD with that type of thing.
When I say my black pants, despite having 85 million pairs, he knows which ones i'm referring to.
I think I'll keep him :)
I love these threads! My darling Mister is awesome because:
-he picks up our bulldog and carts her around like a baby
-he actually gives a poo about wedding things and patiently modeled his outfit for me yesterday
-he always ALWAYS makes me laugh and supports me
Yeah, he's a keeper.
Good post for me, little annoyed at FH and we haven't gotten to spend much time together.
He works 80 hours a week and rarely complains.
He tries to schedule things with friends around when I have other plans so we get more time together.
When I called him up after someone rear-ended me (he was at dinner with a friend and I had already interrupted him 10 minutes before), when I was trying to explain about the car and that the person who hit me had insurance, all he cared about was that I was ok.
Despite working a 30 hour shift at the hospital yesterday (into this morning), when I asked him to call my dad for father's day, he found time even though he was super busy.
He puts up with my never-ending quest for a bed. I want a sleigh bed and we have agreed on solid wood, and apparently what I want doesn't exist in nature. But he knows I have wanted this since I was little, and we still have our bed sitting on the floor since I haven't found anything good.
Aww I love this! I appreciate my FI because:
He always leaves the parking spot closest to our apartment door free for me, even when he gets home first.
He does the dishes at least half the time and is (almost) always willing to help me clean up.
He gives me a back rub almost every.single.night. (seriously. how awesome is that?!)
*sigh* I could go on and on...

Sorry, there are no users yet.
I want to shift my mind to be more positive, since my FI has been irking me lately...just want to start a thread to share how much I do appreciate him, even though he can be such a pain in the butt sometimes!
I appreciate him because:
He took care of all the table numbers last night while I had a girls' SATC marathon night, told me to have fun, and didn't make me feel guilty about not being home to help with it.
He is picking up his mom from the airport an hour away to take her to my bridal shower on Saturday. (and he's not his mom's biggest fan).
He picked up my bridesmaids' dresses and paid off the balance for me yesterday.
He has been planning an amazing honeymoon.
