    One of many reasons my significant other is a keeper...

    Yesterday was my birthday. I was flipping through the mail, and realized one of the envelopes didn't have a stamp... DBF had mixed in a $50 gift certificate for TE! He knew I had my eye on a jersey (for the record, this one) for the better part of a year but haven't been able to bring myself to spend $75 on it.

    Has your husband/wife/girlfriend/boyfriend/fiance(e)/partner done something for you recently that made you giddy?

    That's so sweet, Badgercat! Happy Birthday!

    My DH cleaned my horribly filthy road bike this week. And by clean, I mean that he took the entire drivetrain apart and scrubed and soaked all of it. Then he cleaned the frame, sprayed it with Framesaver and mounted new tires. It looks all purty again.

    My DH does nice things for me all of the time.
    He's my personal mechanic, which I am very grateful for. I can't imagine how much $ I would have to spend for this service. Of course, his niceness extends to all other areas of my life. I wouldn't have married him, otherwise. This is why I don't like it when I hear male bashing, under the assumption that all men are horrible. You can't generalize that any more than with any other group, and I know quite a few other men like my DH.

    Although this isn't bike related, my husband has stepped out of his comfort zone to support me on an issue that happened recently. I admire the depth of his commitment to me, and never have I felt so loved even though I am going through an extremely stressful time right now. He has proven his love for me, even though he was not asked to have to do that. that man loves me. Sorry to gush on so.

    Hey, gush on, it's lovely to hear.

    This is probably too wierd for some gals here..but he voluntarily offers to check with and chat up really romantic stuff.....area rugs, furniture casters, cleaners...

    and we're skyping, chatting all along.

    Every evening. We each run /bike home and get on..the internet, delay supper for a few hrs.

    Over the years, depending where I worked, he has biked to my workplace or an agreed place halfway and waited for me in rain, slushy snow to join him with my bike after work. Other employees would comment on this to me..

    And more ...
