I've been feeling so burned out on my husband. Every little thing he did was getting on my last nerve.
Until last night. I called him before heading home to see what he wanted me to pick up for dinner, but I couldn't get an answer.
I left about ten minutes early, and got home around 5:50, and found my husband in the garage.
He said that he'd taken his truck to a co worker's house to have the guy help him figure out why when you signal left, both blinkers flash. He said he had just gotten home.
I realized that he could've stayed at his buddie's house all evening, and most of my friends' husbands would've done that, but he made a point of getting home, so he'd be home when I got there. I know it sounds like a small thing, but it meant a lot to me that my husband wants to be home when I get home. I like that he's home when I get home It's comforting.
I felt like an idiot when I told him that I appreciated that he was home when I got home, and he got a confused look, and said, "I told him I had to go, because you would be getting home in a few minutes." Like it was just something he did naturally
Just thought I'd share....since I share all the negative junk
IMHO, it IS the little things that count. Without the little things, whats left? I am happy that you husband did that. I can finally see the positive side of Monday!

its amazing how you feel when you can finaly SEE and let in the little things. These little things happen everyday...its wether or not we choose to SEE them with our heart, not our eyes.
Being CONSCIOUS of and SEEING the little things in life....and love.....it is an amazing place to be...

It is the little things that matter a great deal. Monday, I just know that you two are going to make it, (especially since I read this post), you will grow old together.

Thumbs is right, it is those little things that DO count. To many times they are missed because one is too busy or too involved in work.
For me it's the little things that make a HUGE difference during rough times as well.
Last few weeks or things weren't great around here, ya know I posted about it all...Well, I backed off and let him do his own thing, concentrated on just being on my own more or less, making supper for him so he'd have leftovers when he'd come home from work. Finally he came back and now he's more like himself. We had some pretty amazing sex throughout the weekend and felt very connected again.

Don't settle, you big flip flopper you. If you expect more out of him, then ask it.
I am glad that he is capable of being considerate. But it's kind of like thanking someone for not punching you in the nose-they shouldn't BE punching you in the nose in the first place.
Baby steps, I suppose. Please don't let a man treat you so shabbily that just by being normal it thrills you.

If you're trying to imply something, just SAY it...that way dumb people like me don't have to waste time pondering the exact meaning of your message Moose.
Well, come on Spock, do you really expect a man or a woman to keep up with every little detail, walk on egg shells all the time, or should you accept that person for who he/she is? You come off like every man you have a relationship with has to appease you 24/7. Not gonna happen.

I fell in love all over again last night.
It's comforting.
