Answer 1

For years my husband sacrified everything he needed and wanted to make sure that the children and I had what we needed and wanted. At the time we were just making ends meet and it was easier for me tostay home with the children and care forthem because day care was expensive. When My children were of age and in school. Iwent back to work and by this time we were leaving more comfortably. The only thing my husband ever really wanted through our rough years was a big screen television. So I worked Overtime and covered it up by telling him that I was going to the gym or maybe out to eat after work with co-workers. I went to the gym at least 5 days a week so he wasn't suspiscious. I woke up early and exercised at home so that he wouldn't notice that I hadn't really been to the gym. Needless to say after about 2 months I had wnough money to purchase his television. When he came homefrom work on the day the T.V was delivered, I had cooked his favorite meal and after he sat down to eat I gave him a box with the remote in it (The television was in the basement). He was confusedand I told him to go look in the basement. He was overjoyed. When he asked how I did it I told him. He laughed and hugged me so hard that I could still feel it days later. This was 9 years ago and although we now both make a very good living and we now own 2 plasma T.Vs, he will not get rid of the big screen T.V that I bought for him. I still makes my eyes water to this day to think about how much he appreciated what I had done for him.

Answer 2

We were working completely opposite shifts - and it was really starting to get to him. I got out of bed at 2:30 in the morning, drove an hour to his job and was waiting for him at his car so we could have breakfast together before I had to get ready for work. Although, I'm not sure if that was selfless because I got to spend time with him. That's been several months ago, and even though we are on the same shift now, he still talks about how much that meant to him.

Answer 3

I forgave him for a horrible mistake he made, and decided to try to work things out. But I guess thats not selfless as our marriage now is wonderful, so I guess I did get something out of it. Everything I do for him that makes him happy in turn makes me happy because I was able to bring him joy, so does that mean I am never selfless?

Answer 4

Doing something to make yourself feel good for doing it is not that selfless.

Answer 5

Everything I do is selfless for my man!! giving one example is not an option I would be here all day!

Answer 6

When he did something unforgiveable I not only forgave him, I stuck by him and helped him figure out why he was so messed up in the head. He's been through all kinds of self-analysis and I've stayed by his side helping him through it even though there were times I wanted to just beat the hell out of him and throw him out.

Answer 7

Forgiveness of something he did early in the marriage and i love him no matter what and stuck by him through it. It helped heal me to forgive him though so that is a good thing.

Answer 8

Registered them for school, cleaned up after them, washed her clothes, picked her up and dropped her off at work, put up with her annoying azz family

Missing a day of work because his dog died. (That dog lived with him since he was a puppy. He was very old when he died.) I had no other choice. He needed me.

Answer 10

I planned and hosted a surprise birthday party for him. He was ecstatic and so grateful.
