So What Makes It All Worth It?
For me: Its tossing and turning at 2:00 a.m., and needing to reach over just to touch him, just to know he's there. He may be snoring like a bear, but he's there. It's him touching me on my cheek for no reason at all while he's talking on the phone. It's a smack on the butt when I bend over. It's hearing that I'm beautiful when I'm not wearing any makeup and my hair is atrocious. It's the time he's used his lunch break to pick me up and take me out for sushi when I know it's not convenient for him. I guess for me, what makes it all worth it, is the little things that make me smile.

His kisses to me on the
His kisses to me on the forehead.
Him getting out of the car automatically to pump my gas without me asking him to.
Hearing him say "Don't cry Baby"
Watching him out of the corner of my eye watch me b/c he thinks I'm not looking.
Laughing hysterically with one another.
Having him curl up to me at night.
The most recent.....him standing beside me and supporting me 100%.

In the middle of the night,
In the middle of the night, he'll roll over in his sleep and search for my skin...just to touch me.
he's always telling me i'm beautiful, always telling me how much he loves me
when i cook...he cleans the kitchen
he helps with laundry
when we're working, he'll make a special trip to my corner of the office and just lightly touch my back and ask me how I'm doing.
he put a sauna in our new bathroom just because I asked for it
he always invites me to sit in front of the fire and snuggle with him
he leaves little pieces of paper with "I (heart) you" written on them
when he knows I'm working out, he'll come over to the gym just to tell me how good i look and how proud he is of me.
he always stops me in the morning to give me a long hug
he never leaves without kissing me and saying he loves me.
And my favorite...one day we were in the car together and I was sitting with my eyes closed,head against the seat and he was kept staring at me and ended up rearending someone at a redlight bc he was too busy staring at me to pay attention.
*sigh* guess i need to focus on those things right now.

yeah, that was how he blamed
yeah, that was how he blamed the accident on me even though I wasn't driving. Said it was my fault for being so pretty and distracting him. I was like "huh? I was sitting there with my eyes closed...how did *I* distract you??"
lol, that's one of our classic stories...of course, the guy in the other car wasn't amused.
"Venting without the desire to look within and improve your situation is simply venting to hear yourself bitch."
..."I'm not mean, you're just a sissy."
Small things, really small
Small things, really small things... like:
He helps my dad fix their cars without being asked.
He randomly smacks my rear as he is walking thru the house.
He gives in when I cry.
He gets the paper from the driveway for me every morning so that I can read it on the train.
He "feeds" me aspirin when I wake up and he knows I have a hangover.
He doesn't call me by my name, he calls me "wife." I pretend like it annoys me but secretly I like it.
If he can't afford something I want (Wii, diamond studs, new TV) he will put it on layaway and make the payments faithfully, just to see me happy that he remembered long after I have forgotten I asked for it.
Best of all:
He holds me every night, faithfully, until I go to sleep. And in the morning, when the alarm goes off and we spend those extra five minutes in bed, he pulls me so.very.close to him and lays with me until we absolutely HAVE to get up.
~*~When you kiss ass, your breath smells like sh*t~*~
On cold mornings, he will
On cold mornings, he will get up before I do and make a fire and coffee.
He makes sure I am covered up at night. Even while I'm having a hot flash, he will try to cover me and keep me warm. LOL!
LOL!! Before going to sleep and as we are spooned together, he will make sure my underware isn't giving me a wedgie.
He says my name.
He kisses my eyes.
When I have a headache, he will run his fingers through my hair until I fall asleep.
If he doesn't think I'm getting the proper repect from someone (kids, my ex, his ex), he will stand behind me looking menacing or he will actually say something to them until they do give me that respect. (Think Jamie Fraser)
He cleans up my dog's messes even though it is my dog.
He loves my big butt!

I'm such a softy today...I'm
I'm such a softy today...I'm actually tearing up right now....
He accepts me for who I REALLY am.
He is patient with my DD14 when sometimes I don't think I can deal anymore.
He still thinks I'm sexy even when it's been a few days since I've last shaved my legs.
When there are changes in SD5 schedule with BM, he asks me if it'll work for me.
He doesn't get sucked in to SD5 whineyness....she is a very good girl, but that is the one thing I don't deal with very well. He puts an end to it...until the next time!!
He has very muscular legs and an awesome butt...he's a runner and it shows!!
He worked very hard to create a program for me on a treadmill that works with my asthma....I've lost 20 pounds since I've started running...now I want an awesome butt!!
He finally agreed to watch American Idol with me...he hates that show. He'll start watching it with me when they get to Hollywood!! (I decided not to watch it until then also).
He always smells good.
There are so many incredible things about him.... What a great post...it'll help us focus on the things that we fell in love with in the beginning!!

I don't know where to
I don't know where to start....
I'm a sucker for the forehead kiss
He kisses me (head, forehead, cheek, mouth, shoulder, wherever) every single time he walks past me
After 4 years he still opens the car door for me everytime I get in the car
No matter how busy he is for work he takes 1/2 hour after dinner to do crosswords with me
He helps around the house
He writes me "love notes" and puts them in my lunch bag when I have to go in the office and puts them under my pillow when he needs to be out of town
He gets all of his things ready for the morning before bed so he doesn't wake me and even when he thinks I am still sleeping, he kisses my head and fixes the blankets so I don't get cold.
He "helps" me up the stairs on the way to bed each night by holding my butt
He stayed with me at the hospital day and night for 5 straight weeks sleeping in a chair or squeezing in my tiny hospital bed.
He holds my hand everywhere we go
He listens to my dad repeat the same stories over and over again (I love him for that)
He never does anything for Wingnut (including change the schedule) without asking me first
He tells me he loves me all day long, sometimes just emailing me throughout the day and thanks me for "being me" everynight
No matter how upset and angry I get, he never yells back. He just wraps me in a hug and asks me to tell him what he can do to make it better
There are a million other things....but it comes down to he loves me just as I am and I love him as he is.
