Little things that count

[48thStreetCustom]

Name me some little things that count to women. Here's a few off the top of my head:

Bring her coffee in bed
Fix her car
walk her dog
Fish out that earring that she dropped in the bowl
Put together her ikea furniture
Always play her favorite song on the juke box

Listen to her even if you don't care about what she is talking about, it lets her know she is important to you.

Yah. Uh huh. Really? Wow that's so messed up. She said what? No, yeah totally. You're right.

Spontaneous flowers.

Opening the door for her
Holding her hand

There are times when I say not now, she gets that too. She still tries to ask me questions when I am brushing me teeth. I just hold up one hand, palm out like Columbo.

There's still juke boxes ?

Putting the toilet seat back down...

Doing her laundry once in a while.

One that seems to be a lost art: holding the door open for a lady either entering or exiting a building.

Take a bath
Shave
Brush your teeth
Clean under your nails
Have a good job
Cook
Use the broom
Scrub a toilet
Show her you like to hang out with her
Stick around to help raise the kids the two of you made
Accompany her to her parent's house
Don't snore
Change the light bulbs
Make sure she's satisfied in the sack
Have flowers sent to her workplace on a non-holiday
Surprise vacation for two with all arrangements made, including who keeps the kids while you're gone
Live within your means so you don't fight over money
Kiss her like she's a hot Brazilian model
Agree with her about everything unless it's worth upsetting her, which almost nothing is

On an off note, some women really like burritos. Bean n cheez.

You guys are boring. I'm trying to write a song here. Cleaning your fingernails and changing light bulbs isn't a very good hook.

There's still juke boxes ?

Yup. Only now you can pay from your smartphone and they have a million songs.

When she farts, blame the cat.

There is much wisdom in these posts.....with extra style point for @Gorn Captain because stylish posts have style.

I constantly struggle with my desire to try to tell my wife how she should handle what's going on in her world. I don't do it very often.

She doesn't want my advice. And she is both intelligent and mature.......more so than me by a mile. She can take care of herself shy of the occasional stuck jar lid.

She just wants to vent. She just wants what Gorn said. She wants her man to shut up unless he is totally in her corner. And even then little short supportive affirmations get it done.

As for my contribution to the list, don't air your business whether she is there or not.

Twice recently my wife has layer a big kiss on me out of nowhere. Once we were out with three other couples. All night the other couples were putting each other down. The usual crap. Underwear on the floor. Nagging too much. Blah blah blah. Neither of us participated. When asked to join in we changed the subject. My wife went out of her way to let me know own how much she appreciates my not joining in.

The other time my wife was talking to a friend. She and her husband had been arguing. The husband yelled that he wanted his wife to be more like mine. When asked what that meant he explained that he couldn't drag a negative comments from me about her so she must be incredible. My wife and I deal with some of the same crap everyone else does. But we keep it at the house and take care of it in private.
