When he heads out for work, I sometimes walk out to the balcony and wait for him to look up. The morning crowd in our intersection sees me blowing kisses and him catching them. There's usually an older lady who will say 'Oh young love!' or something similar. Its been going on for as long as we have lived in this apartment. I love that I can still pull at his heart strings like that. We are both pretty serious people but goof off and have romantic gestures like that for small everyday things. He makes me feel like a teenager.

I came home from work to him doing the dishes when it was my week to do it. I asked why and he said he has a reminder on his phone to write me a cute note but he forgot so he decided to do dishes instead.

He's coming home earlier than he said he would, saying, "I didn't want you to feel worried tonight."

I'm 5 weeks away from birthing baby #2, and I've been super paranoid about going to bed without him at least in the house.

I know it's hormones. He knows it's hormones. But he's still on the way. :D

He took me out for a perfect anniversary dinner and wore nearly every item of clothing I've ever bought him. It was so sweet.

hahaha this is adorable. i've got an image of him dressed up in like 12 shirts and 4 ties and 3 hats stacked on top of each other.

Right now, we are laying in bed doing absolutely nothing together. He's reading, and I'm looking at lovely reddit posts. It's one of the first times I'm our relationship that we haven't felt the need to obsess over each other until we're exhausted enough to sleep. We're just happily doing our own thing until we end up dozing off. His presence next to me is so comforting, and I never imagined that being alone is so much better with someone you love by your side.

He came to bed when I did (even though he was staying up later than me) to make the bed over the top of me (like being tucked in but more just laying the sheets/blankets down neatly). It was super lovely.

We just celebrated 9 years together this past weekend, and in addition to a weekend trip my husband tracked down a thermos I saw in a shop window over 2 months ago and bought it for me. It is covered in garden birds - I LOVE birds! - and it is the perfect size. The fact that he even remembered the thermos, let alone bought it for me, just blows my mind! He isn't the most effusive/mushy with his affection outside of time alone, but he shows his love for me through his incredible ability to plan and execute surprises, trips, gifts and just general events together.

When I asked him why he went through all the trouble to find and buy the thermos, he said "Your eyes just lit right up when you saw it! I wanted to see it happen again!" :3

Congrats on almost a decade together!

I nailed the wife thing by pulling a blackberry pie out of the oven right as he was walking in the door from work and his face lit up! As he took a bite he looked at me and said, "This is divine and you are the wife-iest." Fresh blackberries picked straight from the country lane, too. Mm mm.

Made my evening!

[–]SigmaAlphaMarkEarly 30's, married/10 yrs together0 points1 point  (1 child) | Copy Link

The wife-iest. Love this.

It's the superlative form of being wifey! ;)

My long distance boyfriend calls me pet names but isn't super affectionate very often (when we aren't together that is). He shows it when he's sleepy, when he's drunk, or when he's appreciative of something I did for him, but otherwise he likes to keep those feelings to himself. I'm glad he isn't overly affectionate, because it makes the times that he is affectionate -- like today -- so wonderful. Today is National Girlfriend Day and he's been sweet to me all day long. I'm crying in bed now because I feel like the luckiest girl in the world and I miss him so much.

It's been a really hard couple of weeks, through lots of things, and he has just been a complete rock. He has let me get all my feelings out, and has said really wise things when I needed them. I honestly don't know what I'd do without him

I keep telling him I don't think I could love you more and he just teases and says he knows!

[–]SigmaAlphaMarkEarly 30's, married/10 yrs together4 points5 points  (1 child) | Copy Link

Hubby is going on a long-distance motorcycle trip with his boys and I made some joke about a break from nagging wives. He shook his head and said, "man, I don't know how [my friends] do it. You don't nag! You ask politely for me to do the simplest things, and how can I say no? I'm pretty sure if I did say no you'd just do it yourself!"

Kind made me feel like the winning-est wife :-)

Well my partner isn't one to really open up about his feelings, I don't probe him either. He decided to go on leave to do FOREX trading, did rather well but decided he was too bored and wanted to go back to work this past Monday. We only get to spend the weekend together. 4am Monday rolls along when his alarm goes off and he keeps putting it on snooze. I ask "Aren't you going to work?" and he's like... "Nah, I'll just go Tuesday..." a few hours later while I'm getting ready to leave and go to my business he just says "..I found it hard to leave and go to work this morning cause I would rather just get to cuddle you for longer..." Cutest thing ever. Though he's back at work now!

[–]ChibiPoena2 points3 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

I usually head to bed first. Often Hubby ends up falling asleep on the couch, especially when his back is hurting. He puts an effort in to come upstairs and say goodnight, usually bringing one of the critters upstairs. <3

He always uses pet names, but the one time I told him I also love hearing him say my name (instead of the generic 'babe'). He started to use my first name a lot more. He also always walks on the outside of the sidewalk. He'll always open doors for me and if I'm carrying something heavy, he'll take it from me to carry without me asking <3

My Fiancé works in the montan - industry. He was ecstatic when I (History - Home - Economics Teacher by trade) got a job in a industrial museum. They need a fill in and since I have done an internship there when I did my B.A. they accepted me directly. The best thing, I will be able to work there in the first 6 months of pregnancy as well, so we can keep trying! My Fiancé bragged to all his workmates and I will now do an extra tour for their children!

Your life sounds awesome!

[–]Fatpandasneezes1 point2 points  (2 children) | Copy Link

He called me "baby girl" no more than an hour ago

[–]sweetbabbygurl0 points1 point  (1 child) | Copy Link

My pet name too!! <3
