What a lovely thread! Here's what my DH does for me:
- We both work from home, so he protects me from people (usually family) who don't respect my time.
- He cooks lunch for us every day.
- He lets me slide my cold feet under his leg when we're on the sofa watching TV.
- Every week he checks my car's tire pressure and oil.
- When I had food poisoning and was sick from both ends, he cleaned me up and held me while I cried.
- He calls me his Bunny - but never around other people 'cause that's private.
- He puts his index finger on the tip of my nose and say "Bink!" (It's so corny but it makes me smile every time.)
- He knows the day I'm going to get my period. Without my asking he brings home:
1 bottle of sauvignon blanc
1 pint of Ben & Jerry's
1 box of tampons (whichever one I'm low on)I need to go give him a big kiss right now.
Wow... what a great guy.

It's the little things...
My DH actually cuddles and WANTS to...
He thinks of ways to make me comfortable such as drawing bath water, cooking my favorite food and scalp massages (he knows this is a plus for my hair thing).
He actually doesn't care that I have him take hair pix every damn week or that I have a hair dryer running when the game is on. He tries so hard to become interested in it. I LOVE him for that.
He too just stares at me, I'm like "what?" and he says "Man.. you are way too sexy, I don't want you to go outside"
Stupid texts during the day, just to make me laugh.. he knows I want another job... he hates his too....
He eats my food and doesn't complain when it is nasty. he makes me feel like I am Emerilla..lol
We hold hands..if anyone knows my DH they KNOW he doesn't do stuff like that.. and I don't even have to ask...lol
I have so many but that is what I can think of...
aw...me wuv him

Hi enarmored.
Welcome to the Forum. Indeed this is a thread to love. Men really DO love us and have their own special ways of showing how much they care.
DH means Darling Husband or Dear Husband.
In this thread, I'd also call him, Devoted Husband, Dedicated Husband, and Desireable Husband. Either way, he's very special indeed.

Awwww...I love this thread
It just made me miss my estranged ex/boyfriend/bestfriend soo much
He was my best friend... we were best friends for 3 years before we got together
He always made me feel special, holding my hand in public even though he's not the most affectionate person
driving me everywhere
keeping me company: we enjoyed being with each other, he'd cook for me before I got home from work, He always take me out, he'd pay for everything even though Id insist he didnt
He'd drive me home from his even though its an hour plus away
sometimes he'd take the underground all the way to mine for over an hour just to drop me off at my front door and he'd do the same thing all over again just to get home
Im a virgin and He respected my boundaries, even when we did try to have sex, he didnt complain even though I chickened out
He endured my complaining and divarish attitude
He provided for me when I needed it the most
He'd stay on the phone for hours with me just talking about nothing in particular. once he listened to me go to sleep even though I was ill and crying on the phone. I was so embarassed and he refused to come off the phone
We are LDR and he'd spend hours travelling to see me,
He was so good with my family and my friends
Even though he had exams and was always so busy with finals he made time for me even if it was to call me once or even late night, even though I complained and wanted a lot more of his time, he was there for a long time
I broke up with him so many times because I do realise I can be impatient but he was always the opposite to me..patient and understanding...
We never said we loved each other but I know he loved me, he showed me that much...we hit a rough patch and we r on a 'break' but honestly I think its over. I really appreciate our time together and even though we are not together, He was one of the best things that happened to me. He taught me what caring for another person meant and I appreciate him for that. We dont really speak any more and my heart has healed from the heartbreak...but I miss that boy so much

This thread is so wonderful, it made me really think and helped me with one of my characters, a man who was crazily in love with his wife. One thing I have noticed that whenever you read romantic stories, it is all about the characters having wild sex, I all for wild sex between husbands and wifes, couples. The media seem to degrade marriages as boring and I still believe that romantic love can continue throughout the marriage. You ladies have shown that passion and love have increased in your marriages and long relationships. Well Done! another thing is that men in our society are not honoured for being men. There are a lot of decent wonderful hardworking, wonderful, loveable men, black, white, Asian, Native American, Biracial men whatever culture they are from and you ladies have wonderful husbands/SO who are lovers, best friends, etc. I met a lady from my knitting group and she was from Eastern Europe, her husband was from Chicago, he was Japenese/European origin and everytime he went to visit his parents, he and his mother would go to the Craft shop and they would be 10 different knitting magazines and he would order it for her and she would receive them, she talked about her husband and she was bit late, so she telephoned him and he was meeting her at the train station. She took me that he has a hot meal waiting for her. She talked how wonderful his family were. It makes me feel that it is not too late for me. Ladies whatever your husband's, SO's culture/race, they are all wonderful men. Despite the rubbish in the media, there are a lot of precious jewels of men, we have to look hard enough and ask the Dear Lord for guidance. Keep this thread going! I love it so much!

I don't have a current SO, but with my past SO's, I've had really good experiences:
1) Ex-SO went to get me some clarifying shampoo...I can't remember why I couldn't go get it myself, but anyway, went to a HUGE BSS (grocery store-size) in St. Thomas and he stayed on the phone looking through AISLES of products for the clarifying shampoo I was looking for. He NEVER once complained and he stayed on the phone until he found one that I would accept.
2) Another ex and I were watching Food Network and they had this episode where they made hot cocoa from scratch. He said that if I got the ingredients the next time I came over, he would make it for me, in which he did. He put sooo much love into the hot cocoa and made it EXACTLY like he had seen it on the show. And he ALWAYS offered to make it for me, especially if I was in a "mood" or not feeling well or even angry at him, he always made it without me asking! Awww....such a sweet man! Too bad it didn't work out...but he still made it for me after we broke up!

The two of us have been pretty busy lately. We both have 'hectic' schedules, yet he will always find a way to let me know that wherever he is, I'm always in his thoughts and in his heart.
Lately, he's been taking pictures with his camera phone during the day and sending them to me with 'precious messages' such as "Just to say Hello", "I love you", "Good Morning Beautiful", or "I miss you".
It keeps us in touch and that he misses me much....
That's my 'sweetie pie'.

He is the best cuddler! He sleeps tightly wrapped around me most of the night.
He loves my stuffed animals. He knows all of their names and even insists on keeping "the kids" at his place. He even sleeps with them when I'm not around.

The Dynamics of a Man's Heart...
It beats for the woman he loves
It flutters at the very thought of her
It stops when he misses her
It rushes when she is threatened or in danger
It slows down once he brings her to safety
It expands to hold more love for her
It shuts down when another tries to get in
Most of all...
It opens wide to receive her when he sees her again...
That's the Beautiful Heart of Our Men
And Dear Lord, for this we thank you with all of hearts
Amen...again...for our Men
This is beautiful. Amen!

My DB. What can I say about him?
- He cooks for me whenever I'm at his apartment.
- He stocks the fridge with my favorites (Ramen, pretzels & cheese).
- He massages my scalp.
- He will hold/kiss me even in front of his mother.
- He pumps my gas for me when he's in the car with me.
- He apologizes for things he didn't even do.
- He helps my mother with things around the house.
- We were in a small car accident the other day (no one was hurt), but the first thing out of his mouth was "Baby, are you okay?" & his side was the side that got hit. Thank God he's okay.
- He bought me some HH when I couldn't afford it and it came with a free DC. =]
- He lies to me and tells me my hair grew when it didn't. LOL.
- He will spend his last dime to see me.
- He encourages me to do my best, because he sees my potential.
- He does things that he doesn't like to do, just to please me.
- He tells me that he loves me countless times a day.
- He tells me I'm beautiful even when I am at my worst.
- He always tries to be the last thing I hear before I sleep because he knows it's hard for me to sleep without him.

You are absolutely right, Sweetg, this is the best thread I've ever started. There's so much focus on the negative in relationships. And so few take the time to take note or to expand the 'little things'.
The little things are that which make a huge difference. The little things are the 'Diamonds', that strengthen our relationships. Diamonds are strong, they endure much. They have clarity, and even on the cloudiest of conditions, they shine through the darkest of clouds.
Look for the Diamonds in your relationships. Men give them to us all the time; yet we sometimes don't see them. Don't allow the elements to cloud them from us. They are there and they are rare...most of all, they are ours to treasure.
Treasure the 'Diamonds', the little things, our men do that amount to so much. Nothing else on earth exceeds its value.
Loving blessings everyone...to each of you and your 'Diamonds'. :heart2:
:heart2:
I have to recount a precious 'Diamond'...which is this thread.
It was a 'warm'
discussion he and I were in the midst of. 
My very words to him were..."Honey if you really loved me than you'd, ............................."
Yep, it was one of those moments I was having. I was being a 'woman'
Yet, while writing this thread, I began to realize all of the loving things he was doing for me all along...he was giving me precious 'Diamonds' straight from his heart.

This thread is absolutely blessed. I am at work and the tears are just flowing down my face. I keep hoping that nobody tries to sneak up on me. My db and I are approaching our 2 year anniversary in April and just reading all of the posts makes me realize that I don't appreciate him nearly as much as I expect him to do for me. Thus I would like to take the opportunity to say even though we are having some issues I appreciate my db because he:
-gave me the shirt off his back when I got sick and some of it got on my shirt
- introduces me to everyone he knows, even when I am not looking my best
-is considering finishing school so that he can become more financially stable (a big issue with the parents)
-makes up excuses just to see me. one time he asked me to bring him something and I said I couldn't find it at the store. His response was "that's ok, I just wanted to see you before my break was over."
-he never lets a day go by without telling me he loves me.
There's more but that's what I wanted to highlight. I'm 80% certain that he's the one I will spend the rest of my life with but I will continue to pray and hopefully I will be at 100%.

Awwwwwwww
Now he's definitely a keeper; he keeps "the kids" (the precious fluffies ). Eternal Blessings on your love for one another....
LuckyDuck...you noticed.......you noticed the 'Diamonds'.
The two of you are so blessed. I wish this for you two eternally. I wish for you the 100% and more....
Blessings angel...
All of these beautiful and precious 'Diamonds'....
You noticed them from him, that he gave just for you. God bless both of you and your love for one another. That it may increase and abound more and more each day.
