I just thought it would be fun to have a thread to share the nicest thing our partners/significant other have done for us.
I think the best memory of my husband so far...
It was my birthday a few years back. He told me that we were going outside to catch a taxi, to go to a restaurant. When I got outside, there was a stretch limo waiting for us. It took us all around London, and then dropped us off at the restaurant. After dinner, the waiter suddenly came out with a cake, with huge sparkling candles on it, and the piano player began to play happy birthday.... TO ME!! It was SO SWEET! My husband had actually dropped off the cake earlier that day, because he wanted to be sure it was a walnut free cake (I have a deadly allergy).
It was honestly, the best time I ever had. Nobody has ever done something like that for me before.
The everyday things are what I treasure. My wife will get up at crack of dawn get herself ready for work. let the dog out fix me a lunch ( I work a later shift ) get the kids up. And she does this unselfishly day after day. There are not enough words in the English language to tell here how much we appreciate and love her although we do try.
Im thinking and can't think of one thing. My husband is not very detailed. He is however, dependable, hardworking and carring. Do I miss the detailed stuff??? Ofcourse, but it balances out.
We were taking a weeks vacation together...jumping all around...my boyfriend pulled into Colonial Williamsburg, VA....he went into the main hotel...came out and said there were no vacancies, but said "Lets just walk around for a while". We did, and he led me to a small colonial home, which had been Betsy Ross's grandfather's home...and handed me the key. It was about the best surprise anyone has ever pulled on me.
My wife is the most caring and loving woman I have ever known/met. For my birthday (just a few days ago), she got me a cake with Happy Birthday Cody on it. I have never had my name put on a birthday cake......it was GREAT!! We have been married for 6 years now and she is totally WONDERFUL to me. When I get upset (at times over very stupid things), she has just the right things to calm me down.
We are very close in age (less than a year apart). Our interests are so alike, it is almost scary. We have so much fun together and I love her with all of my heart!!
The next best thing is when I was struggling early in our relationship with establishing a career and starting to question my abilities she told me that "I believe in my heart that you will figure things out and that you will achieve great success once you do". She further explained that "I've had boyfriends with money and impressive degrees and I believe in you more then any of them". It was a turning point in my life.
Kudos to Calibelle for coming up with a great idea for this thread.

This is a great thread! It's nice to be able to read some happy stuff on here, too.
MY BF is not a big romantic...& while I would really love some romantic gestures now & again, the fact that he's there for me when I need him & that I can trust him outweighs finding the occasional surprise flower or note (most of the time anyway...).
I think the sweetest thing he's ever done for me was to be there for me when my son was born. I was unexpectedly pregnant & my son's biological father evaporated (basically) about 4 months into my pregnancy. He has had virtually no involvement with his son...which is truly sad. I knew from the get-go that I would be on my own with my baby (even tho it took his bio dad 4 months to actually get out of Dodge, I knew he would not participate).
I was working 2 jobs to save up money for my impending child & when I was more than 7 months preggo...suddenly a man appears telling me how much he respects how hard I'm working to prepare for my child. I had felt so utterly lost & alone up to that point (& certainly not expecting to find a guy!) that it just blew me away that this guy had come out of the woodwork & was wowed by me. He was there for me when my little one was born & has been there ever since.
The greatest gift he has given me has been to give my son a daddy when I thought he'd never have one.
In 2002 I was hit by a car while riding my motorcycle, my left foot was severly damaged, the ER put it in a cast, my doctor looked at the x-rays and decided to let it heal as is was all the bones were broken but stayed in place, my wife argued with the doctors wanting them to remove the cast and take a look at the foot, instead they sent us to a specialist which decided to leave the cast on, agian the wife argued to remove it and finally they did and what they found was major tissue damage and infection, if not for her I would have lost my foot. She took care of my foot like i was a baby, she did all the dressings and got the right doctors for the surgeries, I owe her for every step I take.
I am divorced now but when we were together, the best thing he did for me was to encourage me to break away and move to Florida. My family is a very toxic group, he saw the difference in me when I was there, under their thumb. He helped me see the reality and to have the courage to strike out on my own.
We used to country dance a lot. And one evening on our 1st year anniversary (of dating), he asked the DJ to clear the floor and then he dedicated a song to me and we danced alone on the floor in front of everyone.
Another, when our daughter was born, she was a preemie and for the dr's to allow us to bring her home, she had to fed every 30 minutes. Well since I had a c-section, I couldn't do it and hubby got up every 30 min to take care of her so I could rest.
And for our wedding anniversary one year, he flew me to Kansas City to watch the Big 12 Championship football game (for those that don't know, I'm a huge Oklahoma Sooners College football fan) and really for me that was enough. Hubby isn't much for mushy stuff, but after the game when we got back in the hotel room, he had the florist deliver a dozen long stem red roses. They were beautiful!
