It could be a one time thing or daily. What stands out as something special that your DH or SO has done for you or continually does?
-
M brings me coffee most mornings in bed. He works on East Coast time a lot and is up really early and works from home several days a week. I love it. Luckily DD sleeps in till 8 or later daily so I can play on my phone and drink coffee in bed for a solid 30 minutes most mornings.
He also just planted 5 peonies we got on my birthday in the pouring rain without complaint. Then proceeded to fertilize the lawn and clear the gutters happily. For some reason it just struck me as so sweet. Those plants needed to get in the ground and I would have been so unhappy to do it myself.

He usually gets up with the baby on the weekends, so I can sleep in. I have high sleep needs.
-
He gets up everyday with the baby and makes him breakfast before leaving for work so I can get a bit more time in bed before starting the day with both kids. He'll buy me a fun snack when he sees something he thinks I'll like.
-
He'll put toothpaste on my toothbrush, pick me flowers from the garden, and bring home ice cream.

DW prepares dinner for us every single week night night, and 2/3 of our meals on the weekends. Luckily for DS, because if I were in charge, he would be eating goldfish and cheerios every evening.
-
He cleans the litterbox every night, even though I was the one who wanted to have cats.

@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: Ditto!

Oh gosh, a lot. I stay at home but am terrible at keeping up with the house. He works FT and still does most of the house work without (much) complaint.
He takes the monitor and does night duty weekends so I can sleep.
He recently started sending me out for a chunk of time one weekend day to do whatever I want and he encourages me to stay out as long as I want.
-
He's really killed it in the gifting department this year, both for Christmas and Mother's day. Plus I've had a lot of health issues lately and even though he works long hours, he's really amped up doing stuff at home until I'm feeling better. And he's done every single night wakeup (and there have been many, because LO2 is sick) for the past 5 days so I can rest and hopefully get well.
-
He always gets up with LO (middle of the night and in the mornings). It's something I totally take for granted, so I love this thread to remind me how much sanity it saves me.
We don't do traditional gifts on holidays (not our thing), but I love the random grocery store surprises, flowers and "I'm taking LO out for a bit".
-
DH does pretty much all the chores I hate, or is fine with me contracting them out to others. He almost always does the dishes in the evening before going to bed and sets up coffee for the morning. He folds most of the laundry at our house. He gasses up the cars and takes the garbage cans to and from the curb. I have a cleaner come twice a month to do floors and bathrooms. He doesn't question my introvert needs, like needing to lay in silence on the couch/bed for several hours without anyone touching me or speaking to me.
-
DH works his schedule each month so he can be home to keep our son while I go to work 2 days a week. It has been a huge lifesaver for me and I appreciate how he made it a priority to work it out for our family.
He gives me a foot rub most nights during this pregnancy.
He also brings me little things home from his trips to surprise me, whether it's coffee, chocolates or some neat jewelry from a market. I'm spoiled.
-
Lately-passes me my tea or snack from the coffee table so I don't have to maneuver around my pregnant belly and bend to get it.
-
He constantly berates me for cleaning up after dinner and doing the dishes when he puts DD to bed. And he puts DD to bed and does bath about 90% of the time. And on weekends he gets up with DD and lets me sleep in. Also he saves me the sudoku when he throws out the paper.

I love feel good posts like this
DH sets me up for the mornings every night: fills and sets the Keurig, packs my lunch, and fills the girls' morning milk cups for the ride to school. If laundry needs done on a weeknight, he will make sure to put take it out of the dryer and lay it out for me. I do drop off with the kids everyday and knowing that when I walk downstairs, everything will be ready is such a loving act for me.
