How has DH gone above and beyond for you lately?

I have been having a really hard time lately, as some of you know, with my job. I work in a toxic environment and before the wedding I had planned to just quit without having another job lined up, it was that bad. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) I'm way too responsible to do something like that and ultimately couldn't bring myself to leave a perfectly 'good' job in the current economic climate.

Well on Friday, the proverbial $hit hit the fan with my job and to say I was upset is quite an understatement. I spent the last two hours of my day at work crying, and then DH came to pick me up and I cried pretty much the rest of the night. Things have come to a head here and DH has assured me that whatever decision I come to, he supports me 110% percent and we'll make it work.

All weekend he was going out of his way to do what I wanted to do, eat what I wanted to eat, etc. because he knew I just wasn't in decision making mode and, if left to my own devices, I probably would have sat on the couch crying all weekend.

Yesterday I woke up to DH rubbing my back in bed. He was gently trying to coax me to get out of bed and I was being cranky and not wanting to. And then the smell of pancakes hit me - my DH had stealthily gotten out of bed before me, made me a pancake breakfast, and cued up my FAVORITE Christmas-time movie, Love Actually.

I pretty much fell all over myself thanking him all day yesterday. He kept saying, 'It's only pancakes!' but it's so much more than that. It truly is the little things in life that make you appreciate how much someone loves you and wants you to be happy.

What is something your DH has done recently to make you remember just how lucky you are to have him?

SOOO CUTE! What a great DH you have!



Hmm, he pushed me to make a decision about going to see a former student in a show and it ended up being a really big deal and I'm glad he talked me into going because I was unsure. He truely helps me to be a better individual and really wants whats best for me.


AND the rolly ball on my blackberry wasn't working and he fixed it. LOL

Aww our dhs are so good! As for me...on the honeymoon I was texting and calling home to check on our dog. He told me I shouldn't since it would probably cost a lot. I, of course, didn't listen and used my phone when I wanted to. We got the bill today and it was over $300!!!!! I was panicking and appologizing thinking he was going to get really mad and he didn't at all. After we spoke on the phone and he noticed how upset I sounded, he even texted me to tell me not to worry about it and that it wasn't a big deal. That made me feel so much better!

Aw, that's very sweet! I know I get so upset sometimes thinking how DH will react to something and then it winds up he's not and I've gone and gotten so upset for nothing! So that's great that he was so reassuring for you!

my DH has been really helpful around the apartment, with cleaning and laundry. Yesterday, we both worked well to get all of our stuff done and he was a big help!

I was really sick today and left work early. DH picked me up and brought me home and then I basically laid in bed while he got me my food and medicine. I am very grumpy when I get sick so it made all the difference that he was here to help me through it!

AWW!!!! that is so sweet! wait till you get farther along! DH is all over me to make sure i don't need help and i don't over exert myself. and he was on the phone with our sister in law and he kept telling her that right now, i'm the most important thing and he constantly thinks ' is she ok' when i'm not with him.

SOO sweet!!

I can’t think of anything specific lately… although he does make dinner every night while I sit on the couch like a blob.

this is not an above and beyond but this just made me laugh. . DH just called after a job interview and said he was getting a card to send as a thank you and did I need anything at the drugstore - so I say 'tampons please' he sighs and says okay

ten seconds later the phone rings and I see it is him so I answer the phone and say 'super tampax' and he just starts cracking up - then says thanks and hangs up. . .
