OK - I'll admit that I've been pretty consistent about posting FWH's many love bank withdrawls.

I am very happy to finally have a positive report for once! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Today my H called me at work (rare <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> ) and asked me if I'd like to have lunch with him (unheard of! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> ).

He had finished work early today and offered to come meet me at my office to go eat somewhere.

Ok, it may seem like no big deal, but you have no idea how HUGE this is for my H.

In August 2002, he asked for a list of things that he could do to help make me feel special again after our d-day 4/25/02. I gave him the list and nothing happened.

What happened today was one of the things on my list. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

We had a good time, then when he dropped me back off at work, I said - "Thank You".

And he looked suprised and said, "I didn't DO anything".

So I said, "Thanks for thinking of ME when you had some extra time in your day.... instead of going home & mowing the grass or something..." <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />


Just had to share...

Shelle,

That is great!! Isn't it wonderful when you know they thought of you and actually put you first!

My H spent the last 10 yrs. doing everything BUT spending time with me when he had it - everything else had to be done first - mow the lawn, wash the cars, clean the shed etc.

It's nice when they finally "get it!"

Happy to hear of something so nice being done for you!

Hi Fraggles,


Yep - my H is a "chore" guy too.

He waaaayyy exceeds my expectations in keeping up the house, the yard, the cars, etc...

Did you do anything special to get yourself on his "to-do list", or did he just finally figure it out on his own?


Take Care,
Shelle
