Or would you rather him do the little things to show you his love by helping around the house like cooking, cleaning, doing the dishes?

Hey Sashali, I'm happy for you that your husband does those things for you. But I have NEVER felt that my helping with the household chores is supposed to be my job. And my wife appriciates it when I do those things, especially when she comes hom from work and I've done a few loads of dishes in the dishwasher and a few loads of laundery, and cleaned the house. Those little things mean more to her than ANY gift I could ever give her.
I like to buy my wife flowers, and balloons, and stuffed animals and things like that, but those little things by me wanting to do them means more to her than any expensive gift I could ever get her would mean. Actions speak louder than words. And if I sound shallow to you, excuse me, but I prefer to show my wife by the little things that I love her.

Expensive gifts don't impress me, I'm more impressed with the phone calls in the middle of the day just to say I miss you and I love you or notes when & where you least expect to find them. Helping around the house, I guess some women would like it, especially if they work outside the home or have small children but I'd rather do it myself, I stay home and he doesn't so I feel that's the least I can do.

Well....cooking, cleaning and other things should be a "family" effort to a certain extent. And I'm not overly impressed by expensive gifts either. Just show me some plain, old thoughtfulness! If in the spur of the moment, my husband brought me a bowl of cereal, that would mean more to me than any expensive gift. Honestly!

LITTLE THINGS....things around the house are so annoying and time consuming if he helps out there is more time for each other. I wouldn't be happy at all if my boyfriend / husband to sit and do nothing then just throw some gift at me. Also remember romance all of that means more than some little present

Being that we have joint finances, I would not want him to be buying me expensive gifts. And I don't really mind cleaning up around the house. The best expression of his love for me that I can think of is the fact that he enjoys spending time with me. This is the most precious gift.

I like the little things much better.. Means way more to me and it really touches my heart. I love him for this and for his ways... He also calls me throughout the day to ask me how my day is going and to tell me that he loves me! Expensive gifts are nice but i love the small things that come from the heart and not just the wallet! Money cannot buy love!

You are so shallow! How dare attack the one person that was there for you. What ever, they have you will never get. He loves her for all the Roth reasons. You feel that since you may keep a cleaner house, and you might be slimmer you are the better catch. NOT! He loves her, for who she is and if he is not complaining to you, what difference should it make. Your place in her life is more for your benefit than hers. He will never leave his family for hollow person such as yourself. This woman came Thur for you in the hard times and now you refer to her as being FAT. Get a life, find something else to do. I wish I knew who the other woman was, I would call her and tell her to keep a tramp like you out of her home.

Love is only worth having if it's given freely from the heart.But I'd chose the little things he does over expensive gifts any day.

Who needs fine jewelry or expensive clothing from your husband? Why would you want expensive brand name stuff in the first place? It's a waste of money in my opinion. Some people are shallow and materialistic, and as one person stated "sad" which they are... Those who only want those things are simply looking for a sugar daddy, not a life long commitment of marriage. I'd rather my husband hang his coat up, pick up his boxers, and pick up his dinner plate rather than having a diamond necklace.
