Is your husband romantic?

dex — Thu, 09 Jun 2016 23:02:07 GMT

i was driving to the gym this morning and that was the question of the day.This one man called and said that he has heated a towel for after his wife's shower during the colder months for the last forty two years.he said that as soon as he hears the shower start he puts a towel in the dryer and gets it out as soon as he hears the water stop.What a sweet man.My DH says that stuff is just not him.He is a good husband in most ways but I really wish he was thoughtfully romantic once in awhile.

Oh yes! We have been married for 23 years & we renew our vows every night! We never take life for granted.

Mine is romantic. He picks out the nicest cards and brings home little presents all the time. He started fixing my cereal every morning lately when I get up. He makes designs on the top with colorful sliced fruit. It's just such a nice gesture, imo.

The hot towel is really nice

YES He does so many sweet things but my favorite is when he just randomly comes over and gives me a kiss or one of his wonderful bear hugs and holds onto me for a few minutes.

On a side note regarding his big hear hugs, it makes one of my dogs jealous and he tries to push us apart, lol. He gets his nose inbetween us and tries to weasel the rest of his body inbetween us and he wraps his leg around my leg, lol. It is the funniest thing and we start laughing when he does that. He does it every time we hug too.

@dex...wow, heating her towel, 42 years...a true labor of

L❤️VE...when my husband tried to be romantic which was not often, it was so unlike him that I almost couldn't help laughing,

it felt so fake, like bad acting...

My DH will do thoughtful things most of the time, but I wouldn't call him romantic.

The last thing I want from my husband is a greeting card or him listening for the shower and bringing me hot towels, that's a bit voyeuristic and makes me cringe. Are they unaware that towel warmers can be installed in their bathroom?

What I want is great in bed, my husband is that, great in bed. A hot husband trumps a hot towel every day of the week.

Oh goodness yes and with being romantic comes sensitive which can be a bit much at times. I certainly wouldn't trade him and his ways for anything though.

My polar opposite husband is not romantic, and if he tried to be romantic, he would have to work so hard at it, it would be a comedy act in the making. He's just not wired that way. However, my redneck husband has so many other qualities I appreciate, he knows I wouldn't trade him for a newer romantic model.

My husband is a kind gentle man....but no he would not think to warm a towel for me or the like. I take care of him more that way....making sure he has a clean towel and wash cloth, changing his pillow cases, making sure he has his favorite treats in the house....

It it is just the way it is and I accepted it when I married him. I do not wish he would change. I am lucky now.

It would have been awesome if you could have called in next. The audience would have had a good laugh.

@occasionalrain I just don't know what to say to that but I am sure you are your husbands dream come true.

My hubby is a lot of wonderful things, but romantic isn't one of them...I try to focus on those positives!!

During our first year of marriage.....I set the table and added candles for a romantic atmosphere. He looked at me and said "How am I supposed to read the newspaper?"....LOL

He does thoughtful things for me...but he isn't romantic....

@dexSAhe has probly told him she's cold. Men don't often realize we're cold unless the "goose bumps" are out or we're turning blue. If they aren't uncomfortable,"why should we be"?!!

You don't know what you don't know!!!

I do most of the grocery shopping but when DH goes, he always brings me something that I didn't ask for but is one of my favorites.
