Is your partner, spouse, boy- or girlfriend good to you?

On Saturday mornings I frequently sit here in my chair with the laptop - a rather captive position. If Mrs. V. gets up for whatever reason, I say, "um . . . baby?" And she knows what it is. She says, "coffee?" And when she's done doing whatever she got up for, she makes me coffee.

Does your Other do anything for you that makes you grateful?

I'm not worthy.:P Some of the stunts I've pulled off in past 30 years, you would have to wonder.

even 10 years later. :-)

I try and show him how much i value him, in return.

:hi:

He stores away and remembers things I've mentioned in passing for months and surprises me with them later.

The fact that he lives and breathes makes me happy enough. :hi:

made me happy when I read your OP- we just passed our 16th anniversary last month, things are better now than they have ever been.

Best thing in life is a good relationship, IMO.

October 24 1999 to be exact.

September 10 2000 is when we came together.

Happy anniversary, Mark. :pals:

Ah, sweetie...

My husband is very good to me as well...

All manner of things! Too numerous to count, actually...

But he loves me, as your Mrs. V does you...

So I have much to be grateful about...

:hug:

She's constantly checking my water bottle to see if it needs to be refilled, getting things for me from other rooms, etc. I am incredibly blessed.

Watch out for the Cable guy

I kinda feel weird about asking anyone to do stuff or expecting even my closest to do stuff for me. Over the years, though, CMW and I have established a rhythmn that entails him doing stuff I don't like doing, but which he enjoys and is very good at doing, and vice versa. More important, though, is how naturally he is gentle and good to those in our life/lives: Ginger, our goddaughters, my parents, my mother-in-law, friends near and distant. It's kinda the unsaid, little stuff he does that really impresses me. (But I'd be lyin' if I didn't mention the brand-spankin'-new 3G iPhone that was delivered to my studio the day after I returned home from a business trip that included more cell phone problems that I could begin to enumerate here.)

P.S. :loveya:

:*

I couldn't make it through one day without him.

And it's goooooood. :9

which I could easily have done myself.

She cooks every night, does the laundry, and makes me lunch for workdays - which, again, I could do just fine for myself.

im married to the nicest person i have ever known. so i try my best to reciprocate. they just dont come like her anymore

from the store on his way home from work. And since I can't cook when I've got the needles and tubes in, he'll even put stuff in the oven and get it out - wouldn't be good for me to melt the tubes by accident. And he fixes me a plate and brings it to me in the family room.

He sits right there with me, just in case I have a bad reaction. When the infusion is done, he's always there with the bandaids.

This man works 12 hours a day, plus he coaches kids lacrosse. He does the laundry, too. I couldn't be more blessed.

Married 22 years this month. Don't know how I'd ever live without him.

That was on his way home from ordering the Very Special Delivery flowers for our anniversary (36!) on Tuesday!
Otherwise: He does the dishes, "because you cook every day." He keeps the "books" (I just spend!). He is my captive audience when I feel like being Sarah Bernhardt.

And all that sappy "love, cherish, yada, yada" stuff. :)

:loveya:

I would be so lost without her. She sends me a text several times a day to remind me to take all of my meds. She also handles all of the scheduling for me and my other drivers. But the best part is she has put up with my stubborn sorry ass for 9 1/2 years. :)

I think so. I'm fortunate.
