    There is another thread somewhere about 'things your child has done to make you smile' so how about one about OH.

    My OH went home yesterday evening (lives a couple of hours drive from me). When I went to bed last night there was a note under my duvet. 'Love you xx'. So simple but Im still smiling today. Awwwww :D:D

    My Husband does stuff like that, he works in London during the week so he gets up in the middle of Sunday night to get his flite.. so when he gets up he writes me little notes that I find randomly around the house i.e in the hot press or under plates its such a lovely thing to do.

    My boyfriend gave me a lovely back and head massage yesterday because I was feeling under the weather :)

    He put on Cry Baby and watched it with me over the weekend. I love it and he hates it, but I was feeling blue and he knew it would cheer me up :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,813 ✭✭✭PhysiologyRocks


    He saved me half his chocolate bar today. :)

    He has been known to leave little notes on my car.

    He always, always goes out of his way to make it all better if I'm feeling unwell, or just a bit lousy.

    I love that man so, so very much.

    He sent me a sweet text on the phpne, maybe not the most exciting but the contents made me smile :D
    He always says that I am beautiful.
    He gets me small suprises.

    I was really down yesterday and he could tell something was up when he rang me after work. So he cancelled his evening plans, did all the housework I hadn't done, made me homemade chips and gave me lots of cuddles and laughs :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,495 ✭✭✭✭eviltwin


    He gave up his Sunday lie in to stand out in the wind and rain fixing my car.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,441 ✭✭✭pampootie


    I've got a rotten headcold at the moment and have a day off today. He just arrived into the bedroom with a fresh box of tissues, a cup of tea, my book and the dog for snuggling. Cheered me right up!

    After two (one long term) very unsatisfying relationships in the sexual sense, there are many, many things my boyfriend does to put a smile on my face.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,150 ✭✭✭✭Malari


    He made the cat "say hello to mommy" on the phone :rolleyes::D

    We were eating love hearts yesterday and he always shows me the best ones which he feels about me (and lets me eat them) and I do the same to him, small but very sweet:)

    He also is my biggest fan with writing stuff even though it's not anything a guy would really be interested in, spent time finding the perfect pink for a header for me and helping me design it:)

    Ohh and just there he sent me a pic of a clay snail he made in class for me (he's a primary teacher) Silly but very very sweet and lovely!

    This thread is lovely makes me realise all the tiny things that add up that he does that are so sweet over the day:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,126 ✭✭✭Aoifums


    I was in an awful mood yesterday so we ended up cuddling on the couch watching Doctor Who until I felt a bit better. And I got to pick the episode :P:)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,390 ✭✭✭The Big Red Button


    He serenades me with "Boobs glorious boobs" (to the tune of "Food glorious food"

    :pac:

    My boyfriend is working abroad for a few months and so we only get to see each other one weekend a month. For our next one he is flying me to Amsterdam to meet him :)

    He randomly sends me cute pictures of animals or funny pictures to my phone or email to cheer me up

    He buys random little presents and gets them sent to my house. The other day a vinyl I had been lusting after arrived while I was out.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,197 ✭✭✭daenerysstormborn3


    He gave my front calipers a few whacks of the lump hammer to shake things loose. Damn you dirty Irish roads!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 260 ✭✭Longford Lass


    He told me to keep Saturday week free...must be planning some little surprise! Making plans wouldnt be his strongest point so I'm made up! :D
    He's a dote...I feel sooo lucky!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,179 ✭✭✭stargazer 68


    Well we all seem to have lovely sweet men in our lives! Lucky us :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,858 ✭✭✭homemadecider


    Buys me flowers every payday. He always makes great efforts to get the most unusual ones he can find and I get these beautiful arrangements comprised of flowers I've never even heard of before.

    Last time I got these, they were bonkers but amazing!

    Very surprised, very excited and very grateful!

    My amazing beautiful perfect gorgeous girlfriend just wrote me a note and left it in my bag :) telling me she loves and and she hopes knows I'll do well in my exams (as if though). I'm really worried about results tomorrow, but it put a smile on my face :D She also arrive in college today during my lunch period and showered me with hugs and sweets :) I love you S******. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 175 ✭✭julias_jewel


    I couldnt sleep last night and feeling anxious..... So he just rubbed my head til i fell asleep, even though he had to be up at 5am....

    Its really the little things xx


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 25 supershy


    i know i posted on romantic things the OH has done in the past but most recently is....i was having one of those days where i really should have just stayed in bed, it was a horrible day from the min i got up. I went to work and he knew by me that i was in terrible form. When i finished work and went to my car at 5.30, he had filled it with little treats - there was those Malteasters lined up all over my dashboard and in behind my steering wheel...there was a box of cupcakes on the backseat. He works bout 30 mins from me and always has my spare car key with him, just in case i lose mine :) I sat in the car and smiled from ear to ear while my eyes filled up.

    Even after nine years together, just the time we spend together has me laughing and smiling all the time. I'm a lucky one. :p

    Oh and the Ireland v England rugby tickets he got us :D

    I'm not having an easy pregnancy. Suffered from hyperemesis that hasn't fully gone away and spend all my time asleep or at work. My husband has done everything for me for the last 4/5 months. I haven't lifted a finger, and I can't really go anywhere or do anything fun. He still thinks I'm the bees knees and that I'm a hero for suffering through it. He's so excited about the baby and is dying for it to get here.

    Have heard two stories recently about girls who have got pregnant and both their boyfriends wanted nothing to do with them or the baby once they found out :(

    When I hear stories like that, or watch 16 and pregnant (so many asshole boyfriends!) I realise how lucky I am and that puts a smile on my face. :)

    We had an unexpected night away and he treated me to a shopping trip the following day. His credit card took a good battering!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39 bigfluffycloud


    He farted loudly & blamed the poor dog...a fit of giggles followed, ah sometimes it's the simple things :)

    It was my birthday yesterday so he took me out to dinner in town, because said-restaurant chain had closed down their branch in Tallaght, leaving me devastated! I have a weird appetite and only like to eat in a select few restaurants and so far in 2013 he has taken me to nearly all of them :D

    Couple of things:

    1. I'd a friend over a few weeks ago and he went into "fussy" mode, took out our "special" teaset, went out and bought biscuits, and had coffee made :)

    2. Today I'd an interview over the phone, so he made sure the room I was doing it in was spotless, got me a cup of tea beforehand and made sure I'd everything I needed before hand :)

    3. I broke the chain of the pendant he bought me for xmas, so off he took it to the jewelers to get it fixed. Jeweler spent ages telling him how strong the chains are and how no-one ever breaks them :D

    Drove me too and from the Luas for my first day of work, made me tea, dinner, ran me a bath and is doing the wash up :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,331 ✭✭✭Ilyana 2.0


    I'm due my period this week, so when I arrived at his house last night he'd stocked up on chocolate for me :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 444 ✭✭ZzubZzub


    I was finishing night shifts and was about to sleep but the neighbours started some D.I.Y just as my head hit the pillow. As they aren't the sort we could ask to leave the D.I.Y for a bit, he lay down beside me with his hands over my ears to try drown out the noise until I fell asleep. He's a good one!

    For Valentine's Day, my boyfriend wrote me a realllyyy cheesy card. And also put into the card, a slice of cheese wrapped in tinfoil.

    It still has me smiling thinking about it. :) <3 x


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 87 ✭✭carolmarx


    I got a homemade heart shaped Valentines card that read

    "Roses are red
    Enchiladas are great
    I love you more than
    A big sideways eight" (As in the infinity symbol...)

    My favourite food is enchiladas and he makes them for me every valentines day..He's just the best :)

    My boyfriend is in Poland atm on a skiing trip with friends. I woke up yesterday to a message on my phone which was a picture of the snow with "I <3 'Contessa'" carved in to it. Awwwwww! :o

    Can't wait for him to get back!

    I bought him a watch as a present.

    He's been wearing it every day since. He told me that the watch constantly catches on the little hairs on his wrist throughout the day, and reminds him all the time of what an annoying nuisance I am.

    Awwww! :cool: <3


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,359 ✭✭✭Fiona


    He was robbing road signs on the way home from the pub on Saturday night, childish yes very, but I just couldn't stop laughing at him ( I was sober!)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,032 ✭✭✭SmokeyEyes


    I woke up on Saturday morning with him cupping my face watching me sleep, very cute:)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,331 ✭✭✭Ilyana 2.0


    He streamed a torrent of The Lion King for me, because I said I really wanted to watch it and we only have it on VHS :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,490 ✭✭✭amtc


    Not my current bf - but he lived in Killiney and me in Castleknock - we had a row one night and he drove all the way over to drop in a packet of aspirin because 'he was such a headache'

    Same guy traced my name in sand at Sandycove at midnight and made picnic.

    Another guy sent me 11 red roses because he was missing 'one'

    Another guy knows how terrified I am about getting water in my eyes due to contacts so carried my pink beach bag whilst I sobbed all the way back to the hotel

    Another one drove all the way from Portlaoise to Dublin as a light bulb had gone, and he knows I hate the dark.

    However I must point out I am single right now! Clearing out the last bits from parents home and I have cards from 8 guys telling me they will love me forever - can I sue?!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,179 ✭✭✭stargazer 68


    I wasnt well yesterday - self inflicted I have to confess :o
    and my OH turned up last night with panadol, motilium, ice cream and flowers! He lives 200 miles away by the way! :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,043 ✭✭✭MurdyWurdy


    We're cat/house sitting for my parents at the moment. Their cat is a rescue cat and is a bit nervous/jumpy. Our cat is quite resilient so it's easier for us all to go stay at their place.

    I'm in bed with our cat who is fast asleep and I can hear my husband having full on conversations with my parents cat from the sitting room. I'm up here giggling away to myself listening to them and what he's talking to him about!
