What one thing do you wish your husband or significant other did for you that they do not? Or that they don't do often enough?
This could be physical, emotional, practical, whatever.
The one thing you wish you could get more of from your SO...
I wish my fiance would give me a nice body rub/tickle every night before bed! I tell him on the occasions that he does do this for me (which are too few and far between!) that if I had one everyday, I'd be a much nicer person, which can only stand to benefit him! Plus it does relax me so, and once I'm relaxed, I'm much more inclined to give into his, ahem, desires... ;)
I'm sorry, but Theresa N, I didn't even get through your whole response, but I'm already LMAO at the eewwwww-a! You always crack me up...
Physically take care of himself- he eats badly, doesn't exercise, and works too hard. Oh, and he never thinks he needs to go to the dr either!
Not be violent.
He's not violent at work, on stage, with his friends, with other people's kids, or in any other setting except at home. I wish he'd do more of that, the whole non-violence thing / not getting angry at every little thing, here.
Hi L., I asked my daughter your question since she's sitting here at the table doing her homework, I said
"Margaret (13 1/2), what's the ONE thing you wish Cody (BF) (eewwwww-a, sorry) would do for you that he doesn't?"
She said without any hesitation...
"LEAVE ME ALONE FOR JUST ONE DAY!!!!" Bahahaha
It starts at a very young age...
I guess I would wish for communication, boring, but that's really our ONLY issue. He will STAMP his little feet and employ every imaginable three year old boy bad behavior when called upon just to communicate with me. Sigh
tehehe, btw, I'm sure Cody's a VERY nice boy (cringe)....
To just remember to do things without me having to remind him like...
"Dont' forget..kids have a dental appointment today..OH and don't forget to make another appointment while you are there!" "Oh and did you check to see if they needed anything signed for school?" and "oh, don't forget to pick up the juice boxes for this or that.."
He tells me it's my job to be his personal secretary!
Are you sure you only want one thing??? LOL coz I'd like him to stop snoring too!
I'd have to go with one-on-one time - withOUT the computer, tv, etc on :)
Rubbed my feet in bed with lotion, looked at me like I was a burger and fries and he hadn't eaten in a week, served me breakfast in bed on one of those bed trays for Mother's Day and birthdays, brought home flowers from time to time, be more spontaneous, but other than those things he is a good man in many ways.
LOL, there's so many, that one thing is a hard request. :-))
All around I'm very luck to have my BF. We have two beautiful kids and a pretty great relationship.
I could name a few things that I really don't think are too important...but the ONE thing..
would be for him to propose to me...
He always has said, and continues to say, that he wants to marry me. Just wish I really knew if that was the case.
massages, send flower's, do i really have to name 1 thing? take better care of his nails (feet-ugh they are NASTY) and some personal things
more surprises.....
Q: The one thing you wish you could get more of from your SO...
A: Time.
.
Clean up after himself.......its a dream of mine :-)
More talking & planning about the future. But it's not his fault--we just never seem to have enough time to get to that.
Great question!
A massage!! Maybe just the one on one time and physical touch.
get his flu shot without me not having to ask from september 1st til (well still counting). that is one thing i wish he did every year without me having to stress about two six year olds and one 47 years old.
ps. they even come to his workplace to do the flu shot drive through or whatever you call it. we also live near 4 CVS-es within 5 mile radius. 2 out of those 4 have minute clinic. 4 out of 4 offer the flu shot. has my husband gotten it yet? NO!!!!
Practical. Truly, he has the emotional, physical husband/father thing down pat.
Review the monthly budget with me and watch me as I pay the bills twice a month. I hate being the one who always has to say, "No, we don't have the $$$ for that right now." Maybe if he truly understood we are sometimes at the point where we are juggling pennies and waiting on the next pay check, I wouldn't always be cast as the Grinch.
Cooking! After 10 years of marriage, I now do it all. I'm burnt out and sick of it. He cooked for me all the time when we were dating and when we were first married, but now, forget it. Can't even remember the last time he barbequed and even then, I'm stuck cooking side dishes. Would love to just have a home-cooked dinner prepared by him.
Ideally, stand up to his mom, but since that's never going to happen, I'd say dishes. I know it sounds trivial, but we have great communication, we laugh all the time and he is such a hands on dad. I'm a SAHM so I take on the household chores and the one thing I can't stand is dishes.
I wish he would stop ASKING for sex. He knows I have had serious medical issues and am running to the bathroom most days. When it is a good day, he will be the first to know;0)
Flowers!
I am a flower lover and always love them in the house! If I had my dream job it would be to own my own flower shop...I could spend hours arranging them!
It would be so lovely that if every once in awhile he would surprise me and bring me some home...he thinks they are a waste of money, and I see his point...but...they are just so pretty and really add to the atmosphere!
I love, love, love it when the house is all clean, candles are burning and there is an arrangement or two around the house!
~Oh and when we are having "adult time" he used to twirl my hair around his fingers while giving me sweet kisses...I wish he still did this!
When he tells me he'll do something, I wish he would.
that before he starts nit-picking about me... that he looks at HIMSELF first... and self-reflects to see how he is SO annoying too... and not 'perfect.'
And then admit it.
And just accept/appreciate a person for who they are.
