This discussion topic popped into my head from one of the responses from one of my other discussions. A lucky person here on mylot gets spoilt by her husband, he massages her feet, soaks them in a tub and paints her toenails. Can you beat this, I do not know anyone else who has been this lucky to get this special treatment, she must be doing something right, lol.
The best thing I can think of that my partner has done for me is buying me flowers, like yesterday he brought flowers for me for no reason but to say I am amazing. I felt spoilt yesterday.
How about you does your story match or beat the lucky person here on mylot? 3 people like this

It's only in the past one year that my husband has started showing his appreciation (after 7-8 years of marriage!).
So, I don't think I can compete with anyone on that front....we would definitely lose on the 'partner spoiling' front.
But I used to give my husband a foot massage (but I'm now busy with the little one). My husband doesn't like really mushy stuff....but the way to his heart is through his stomack..lol
So, I used to cook him a nice meal and get the home ready for him to be relaxed when he comes home. And he used to love it. As I said, it's only lately that he has been verbally appreciating the little things that I do for him...and my qualities (positive).

I am happy for you now, that your hubby has finally come around and shows you his appreciation. What do you think finally opened his eyes? I think the way to alot of mens heart is through their stomach, lol. THey love dinner cooked for them. I hope he continues to say sweet things to you, you deserve it.

I have no clue what made him open his eyes...maybe a little birdie in his head...lol
He's also being a little romantic and whispering sweet nothings in my ear...on and off.....so unlike him...but it does seem genuine and not put on..so I'm happy.
He also seems to understand al the work that I put in and seems to realize that it's easy for him to get out and not think about it...while I have to handle it alone at home.

If I need it, he buys it. If I want it, he buys it. If it's old he replaces it. If I asked for it he buys it. If its too small he makes it bigger. If it's too big he makes it smaller. If it hurts, he heals it. If it's lonely he keeps it company. If its stressing he makes it calmer. Anything I want I get. But... the way I spoil him is by not complaining about it, by not telling him what I want or need beacuse if I do he'll go out and get it. He is without a doubt a sweetheart in his own serious unromantic way :)

He sometimes picks my ears, scrubs my feet and cut my fingernails and toenails(I don't cover my nails with colors), he scrubs my back while taking a bath, shaves my unwanted hairs, he chooses clothes for me to wear.

I don't know, we just love each other. We tickle each other at times. We play with our children together. He loves my cooking and he do the laundry. I sometimes crawl up to him at night, or vice versa LOL.

You sound like you match the lucky person here on mylot. You definately are spoilt, where do you find these men that give you such special treatment, lol. Picking you ears, that is different. Sounds like you are treated like royalty, you are doing something right. What is the secret??

Wow that is really sweet, booking somewhere to go away, I would love that. You are lucky, but you deserve it, he obviously respects your many positive qualities. Yes I was very pleased that my parnter bought me flowers, the biggest thing was that he said I was amazing, he rarely compliments me, so when he does it means the world to me. It made my week, change that, it made my year. i hope you continue to be spoilt for many more years to come by your partner. Thanks for sharing my friend, take care.

Hi mrpipo, it's a shame your ex wife was not nicer to you. My partner has come along way, we have been together for a year and a half, he took a while to be committed. He is a pretty independent guy that use to be scared of any committment, so it means alot to me when he buys me flowers. When he used to buy me flowers he was funny he could not actually give them to me he used to leave them on the bench and I had to ask if they were for me. Now he hands them to me plus gave me a compliment. Good step forward. Thanks for your response.

Okay. I'm only seventeen and I have no hubby, but this is how my boyfriend spoils me.
I'm pretty much that bratty person who's in the 'I-get-what-I-want-and-I-get-it-NOW' sort of thing, though not in a material way. When I have classes in school he always waits for me in McDonald's and walks me home, or if it's a Saturday he'd travel to school and pick me up so we could go home together. Other days he just buys stuff--just because. Like a last Sunday he bought me a pillow--just because.
He also does the part of enduring with whatever it is I want to do. We do morning runs and play badminton even if he hates it. Or sometimes he lets me fall asleep before he leaves my house--even though he really, really hates it if I sleep when he's around. Just the mere point that he does what he hates just for my sake, it's more than enough reason for me to feel spoiled.

Wow, your boyfriend definately does spoil you, by doing something that he does not like to do, shows he does care about you alot. Walking you home everyday is sweet too, hope you spoil him sometimes too, you want this guy to stick around. You don't find guys like him everyday. Thanks for your response.

I could write a book on being spoiled kiran. My husband treats me so well...I had to teach him how, but he does it none-the-less.
All I have to say is I noticed something in a store, and BAM - next day it's in my home. He calls me from work a dozen times a day to see if I need or want anything. He brings me coffee every morning in bed and he's one of those guys who actually asks if he can bring me anything while he's up.
He's always bringing me something.
He washes dishes sometimes too. I haven't taught him to vacume yet but he knows how to start the laundry.
He's really a nice guy.....
Of course - I treat him like he is a King too.....

First, let me say that we both work full time and many times my position runs into hours of overtime (seasonal firefighter for forestry). He spoils me by buying me lil surprises all the time, 'just because', if I'm working later than he does, he has me something fixed to eat when I get home, he helps around the house because 'you work full time and shouldn't have to do it all'. And he makes me breakfast every Sunday morning. I drive an 07 Mustang GT, that he bought. He doesn't mind me indulging in my one hobby, scrapbooking, and even added to that by giving me a new DSLR camera and high def printer for Christmas. So I might not get the foot massage (which I get when I go for a pedicure) but I would say I'm just a tad spoiled by him.

Yes I agree you sound like you are a tad spoilt, that is excellent!! Cooking you breakfast every Sunday morning, that is awesome, like it is mothers day every sunday or your birthday. It is great that he always tries to make you feel satisfied, by having meals ready for you and surprising you with gifts. Thanks for your response, your husband is a keeper.

I am now a widow but I was spoiled silly as my husband did a lot of the cooking and he was very good as he was a cook by profession especially his beef stew. He browned themeat first then simmered and simmered it. It was so delicious and another thing he did that I much appreciated was to go to the doctor with me when I had something that was really worrying me just for moral support. Also he gave me back rubs which usually led to much more but thats a different topic lol

Mmmmm, I am hungry after reading your response. That would have been so good eating delicious meals most nights, you were very spoilt. Moral support is priceless, that is the best thing your loved one could give you. I am happy that you were treated right, sorry to hear about your husband passing away.
