Hmm…
When I am surprised by very thoughtful acts of kindness or acts of service by my husband. That brings tears of joy to my eyes.
When I have come home from a rough day at work and he has bought me a bag of my favorite type of Reese’s peanut butter cups, I like the holiday shapes. The holiday shape Reese have more peanut butter and smooth/soft chocolate which I like. That act alone has brought tears of joy to my eyes. He has also gone above and beyond with being kind and understanding when I can be unreasonable or just venting frustrations and recounting the events of the day.
Other things he has done to bring tears of joy to my eyes would be acts of service like putting the laundry away after it has been washed. Also, attempting to clean the house. He is not great at cleaning to the standards that I hold myself to but it does make me happy when he tries. I very much appreciate it too. It allows me to relax and not fixate and feel like I have to give up my days off to clean.
Relieving a type of “burden” from my day will always make me feel so appreciated and cause me to tear up. And, I do not really think doing these things as burden, in most cases. I do enjoy cleaning but it can be quite overwhelming if I continuously need to be cleaning on days that I am not working. That can go for many other activities other than cleaning.
