He opens the door for me ALL the time. ☺ Makes me feel classy.
This is tough not because she doesn't do things, but because she is so quiet about it. She is not the most vocal about her feelings, so I'm learning to step back to see and appreciate the things that she does to show she cares. Not always easy.
I have to do a better job of this because I want him to know that he is appreciated. I love him so much because of who he is and how he treats and takes care of me. He really is a good man and I don't want him to ever doubt that I see him as such.

When she takes the time to do and say things on her own...when she takes the initiative and compliments me or does nice things...when she initiates our "together"time...all these things, I LOVE them. There's no one single thing that makes me feel appreciated, just her initiative that makes me feel loved. :) And she's getting really good at this!
Although I'm sure I'd debate as to whom is the better cook because I'm simply competitive, when she cooks for me every day it's made with love an I enjoy it so much.
When he won't let me cook dinner or clean because he knows I have an exam to study for. Or when he randomly buys me flowers or something sweet to make me happy when I am feeling sad. I love it most when he writes me little notes to tell me how much he loves me and cares for me :)
she acknowledges my contribution to our relationship. she does WAY more than I do in keeping the house and family all sorted, but what I do she definitely recognizes and shows her appreciation for.
She's always so caring and loving
When he cuddles me and cooks me breakfast
thanks me all the time for how hard I work
She always remembers the special occasions and always does something nice for me
She keeps me grounded and yet let me keep my head in the clouds.
He is there for me no matter what. Even when I'm completely stressed and lashing out, he sticks around until I calm down and tells me he loves me.
when he asks me if he can do anything to me. when he touches me as he walks by. I would like him to appreciate all I do for him: work for him, cook, clean, look after his son, help with our sons school and education, create a fun personal life...I am pretty independent but I want to be appreciated.
He does everything he can to make me happy and he takes care of me ❤
When I get home from work she always smiles and kisses me. That always makes me feel appreciated :)

The amazing things she does for me during the special occasions of the year. Like my birthday, she did so much for me that it made me tear a little bit when I first saw it. She always goes out of her way to make me happy. I love her so much.
