That sounds really thoughtful of him.
Were you really married at 16?!

Kartush, my definition too. Beautiful and much more real than all the `darling` words that people bandy about

Real true love, actions not words

My man is from a similar mould Kartush.

I’d wait years for flowers and chocolates (not my thing anyway, truth be told) but all jobs done in a timely manner, usually at my first request if funds allow.

How absolutely lovely Kartush. You have a treasure of a husband there and you appreciate him which is brilliant. A long marriage and I hope you have many more happy years.

That is such a lovely story to start the day. I wish you both continuing happiness.

My beautiful husband is not, nor has he ever been a touchy feely sort of man, oh he will hug or kiss if I ask him but on his own he probably wouldn't think of it, but that's ok we have been married 53 years (I am 69, he is 75) so I am totally cool with it.
I am very overweight, have osteoarthritis in my knees and hips and don't get around very well so showering can sometimes be a tad exhausting for me, so I have been tossing up the idea of getting a shower chair and a hand rail to help out. I had casually mentioned it in passing , just a thought at this stage.
Today my man had to go to the hardware store to get something manly, so off he went, when he came back I could hear him messing around in his workshop, then he wandered upstairs and I could hear him fiddling around in my bathroom. He had only gone and got me a chair and installed a railing for me.
That is my definition of love, not flowers or chocolates, a chair and a railing, oh and to top it off I got an unsolicited hug as well.
Today was an awesome day
