(41,976 posts)As he became weaker he could no longer work. He can drive, and walk short distances. He does the grocery shopping-- the staples though, nothing fancy. He drives to and from work, he brings me little gifts. He tells me he loves me often, we flirt a lot. He listens to me about my day. He tells me he feels blessed to have me. (we're not religious)
We really can't afford professional housecleaning, but though his volunteer work once in a while he'll hire someone who just needs the money. (that is SO awesome to come home to) he does the same with the yard.
He recently bought me a necklace we can't really afford-- I make good money but we have tons of bills-- because I mentioned a co-worker had a necklace I liked-- it was nowhere near the same, but it's the same 'infinity' symbol on it (valentines day) he found a free beat up old hot tub and had friends work on it and now it's my favorite thing
He's far more romantic than I am. I should mention.
It embarrasses me when he says thank you or something for being his wife-- because he's actually better at being a husband, in a way I can't explain. So I tell him thank you back.
