what makes you love your OH??

mollybird

for me it's the little things. the most recent thing was he left a 10 euro note in one of my teddys paws for my petrol as i do most of the commuting up to see him (an hour between us). and i never even noticed it till he was up the next week and saw it still there. and one of the first ones was getting me little gadgety things i needed e.g a new wire to connect my ipod to sterio in car. one he had lying around the place.

what are the little things that makes your heart melt??

The big thing for me is how he treats me and makes me feel. I haven't had a bad day since we met. Even the bad things that used to get me down fade in to nothing now. Best feeling in the world. I'm not big on presents etc, it's how happy he makes me that does it for me.

Cheese!:o

I love the fact that my OH makes me laugh every day...even if he's stressed out from work we still have a laugh!..

I love the way he is sooooo easygoing.. it balances out my hyper side.. we both do exactly what we want to do...so if want to go away with friends for a week in the sun he doesn't mind a bit (i have a friend who's OH would go mad over this.. but thats another story!)

I love it when he brings tubs of ben and jerry home for us to share just for the heck of it...

I love the fact that he doesn't mind that i dont/rarely cook and i'm crap at all the domestic stuff-(met my ex's girlfriend the other day-she'd put Brie from Desperate Housewives to shame-i had one lucky escape ther:p!)

I love the fact that he just wants me to be happy- havn't been happy in my job for the past year... he has encouraged me to 'just quit' and he'd look after things until i find another job....

I love the fact that he kisses me every morning before he goes to work even though i'm sleeping/half asleep ..i've caught him doing it several times!!!..

I really do love him.. i'm nuts i know!:p

taram

If he's doing the night shift he tucks the end of the blanket into the bed for me and makes sure I have a glass of water by the bed.

When I texted him complaining I was sick at work he took the bus 40 mins to there to give me soup and medication. Everyone at work was jealous hehe

Just the little things really, buying me a Crunchie on a Friday, reminding me to take my medication, double checking the windows are closed because I'm paranoid, listening to me ramble about anything that comes to mind, the last Rolo etc

spinandscribble

he thinks my sneezes/farts are adoreable and likewise. now THATS love.

i love that he'll go the long way home because i'm scared of the short cut.

You do realise that every guy on Boards is going to use this thread as a checklist of thing he can do to keep the missus happy, don't you?

spinandscribble

well hopefully it'll serve as a way for some to realise its about what you do, not say or pay.

i think doing is more important then saying. of course both is better but nothings worse then someone saying the care and then treating you like nothing.

CathyMoran

Being shallow here but i love the look of him< he has beautiful eyes and a sexy mouth that i know will never change> He is thoughtful and can always make me laugh< when i get stressed out he talks me through it> he suprises me with little gifts or thoughtful gestures all the time< he writes the most romantic love letters to me every day that make my heart skip a beat> he remembers our anniversarries (i still celebrate the months since we got married as well as the anniversary of him asking me out on our first date and our first date< he does not mind)

i could go on all day about the little things he does that make me love him< the truth is< he is my soulmate and i am blessed to have him in my life!

Fletch123

I love the way he keeps me going, doesn't let me fall into a rut or avoid the things I've been meaning to do for a long time... And he has a great way of putting things in perspective so many a panic has been avoided.

And I love the way if we're in the same room but at different ends of it he'll catch my eye and give me a wink and a smile. Makes me go all girly and giggly

Sugar Drunk

If I am sick (have a bad back and IBS and allergies so can be quite often!), he looks after me and doesnt complain about missing out on things.
He is always the first person I ring when something happens and he is always there to listen and makes me feel better
He loves me even when I do stupid things, when I look like a total minger and when I am being annoying!

trio

I love the way he has never once said a derogatory word to me. He's never insulted my figure, my intelligence or my personality - not once. He's never even said something like "Don't be stupid".

I LOVE that. It makes me think that he hasn't said any of that stuff simply because he doesn't think it! There's nothing better than knowing your partner doesn't think anything bad about you, but on the contrary admires and likes you. I can't understand why anyone would be with someone who thinks they're stupid, or who can readily point out their flaws.

Also, of course it makes me treat him exactly the same in return. I've never said anything derogatory to him either. I know he values that in me also.

We've had arguments of course, but they're never nasty or unpleasant. Just along the lines of "I'm really frustrated because I don't understand what you're trying to say" sort of thing.

That's another thing I love. I love that our arguments are really healthy and constructive and never escalates into personal attacks. Makes me always realise what a grown-up I've managed to get for myself. I'm too bloody old to have to be arguing with a child!

It also makes me notice other couples who bicker in front of us. There's a lot of scornful "Don't be so f***ing stupid" thrown around. Lots of heavy sarcastic sighs and eye-rolling. They don't even seem to notice, and if I mentioned it would be probably be all "Ah sure that's harmless" but that type of communication is just not my cup of tea AT ALL.

haha. your going to eat your words. every year (2) roughly in my head the man has spent about 4 grand on me. if i think, i think your saying he is stingy you couldn't be more further from the truth. i was just mentioning the little things. i could go on about the big things if you like but it's not the kinda thing i do:p

LadyE

But its not about money is it? Its about the fact that he thought of you.

god it's totally not about the money. to be honest i'm still finding it hard to get used to. everyone else i went out with were stone broke. he is the first guy i dated that has had money.

there was one time he surprised me and drove up an hour to see me when i was sick, with popcorn, a drink and a movie for us to watch. and he surprised me another time when i was having trouble with people i was living with, just came up to make his presence felt (he's 6ft 4). basically don't mess with my girlfriend or ill have to hurt you.

I summed it all up here and its all even better now that I live with him

Lemons to you so.:p
It's nice to know that at least someone's getting to enjoy it is it not? Falling in love is pretty much the only appreciable quality to humans, only time we ever really seem to think of someone else as highly as we do ourselves & learn to find joy in simply making someone else happy.

allandanyways

i love that he's from Donegal, the way he talks and words he says... i love his family, possibly some of the nicest people ive ever met... i love that he always texts me when he's in work, even though he's not supposed to have his fone out (hes a barman and its rude not to pay attention to customers) and he's usually super busy... love that he'll watch nearly everything i want to (bar greys anatomy for some reason) because I dont care about 'Megastructures' and I make faces when I have to watch it... I love that he's so laid back and im so high strung and he does just tell me to sit down and relax...i love that our brains are like, wired the same way, we have a load of jinxy moments and I dont jinx with anyone els... i love that he trusts me so much, i know so much about him, he knows stuff about me no-one else knows... aaaaah i just love everything about him....

paperclip2

He gets rid of the spiders and doesn't make me feel like an idiot for being scared of them :eek:

(Part of a long list!):)

mollybird

i love (what he has told me happens) when he is thinking of me and picks up the phone to txt me a txt comes in from me. he finds it really freaky. and i love how alot of the time we are thinking the same thing.

Here's hoping

scoot on

I love that he tells me absolutely everything. I know he's got no secrets from me and never has. I love that I can trust him completely. He makes me laugh all the time. Even when I'm mad with him he'll keep trying to make me laugh. I love that he does all the cooking and most of the house work because I'm crap at it!! Whenever too lazy to get up off the couch to get something he'll get it for me and never complains. I love that he calls me 'brains', I like that he finds me intelligent.

That's one thing I love about my OH too, and that when he's getting rid of the spider (or other multi-legged scary insect) he doesn't kill it, he picks it up gently and puts it outside

Down with that sort of thing.

Pyr0

I love when she makes me feel better by giving me cuddles, still means loads even when over text ! Or the little names she calls me. The way she loves my chest hair so much ! Her protective nature when it comes to me, when she looks at me a certain way which makes me realise that she never looks at another guy the same way. Or when I know she's happy cuddling up to me, makes me happy ! Oh and the little sounds she makes when I kiss or touch her.

Love ya ! xx

LivingDeadGirl

The way he has the same views as me on almost everything, when he lets me put my cold hands or feet on him to warm up even though its uncomfortable for him! His cute little yawn, the fact that he travels hundreds of miles just to see me, the way he teases me and makes me laugh at the same time, how dedicated he is to me, the way he holds me with such care and appreciation, how he always knows when something's wrong, oh and his lovely smile!!

Love ya too XxX

Piste

Jeez you two are sickeningly adorable :P

LadyE

I love the way he cuddles me, all the time, and always listens to my little rants and gives me constructive advice. And the way he is ALWAYS so thoughtful, and brings me chocolate. I love the way he "gets" me, and my stupid sense of humour and my sometimes evil sense of humour and the way he is always so complimentary, even in the morning when I look like ****. And I love the way he calls me babe, and is sooo affectionate, and holds my hand walking down the street/sitting on the sofa/sitting in a pub. He never played games, even at the start, if I texted when I was bored, he would always text back..none of this 6 hours wait bull****.

I can always be myself around him, even from day 1, always, theres no pretending to be perfect (you know the way girls do!) in front of him and its always comfortable, we can just sit there talking, or not, and its always so...comfortable

Haha don't be sorry! It's cute they way you're affectionate online!

MJOR

Eh right,

I love his eyes they are kind and sincere and his lips are perfect.

I love the cute names he has for me, the way if i've got cramps and am cranky he holds me.

I love how he makes me feel like funniest, most intelligent, most beautiful woman in the world.

How he never takes me for granted.

I love how he does all the "boy jobs" around the house.
I love that he loves my wobbly bum.

BroomBurner

I love how my OH feeds me everyday with delicious culinary treats. Way to my heart is definitely through my stomach Also, I hate cooking for myself

Oh, actually, I also love when he tells me I smell like sweets, or trifle. I like smelling good!

Crumble Froo

he replaced my hat. drove to the other side of the city, and apparently spent a good halfhour trying to find my one in the shop, before thanking the girl at the counter and realising that the hats were in a basket on the counter. i has a hat again! and that's why he's awesome.
