My husband has had several things happen to really stress him the past couple of weeks. Does anyone have any ideas on something I can do for him that would really make him feel special and let him know that I love him and that I am here for him??
It's hard to think of just the right thing to do for this big macho man. He has had a very good friend die and now has just found out that his father has cancer. Along with that, his ex-wife is trying to be in the middle of the family ordeal with the cancer and is only making things stressed between us..
Any help?????

Well I would say just reassure him you are there for him,and you are willing to do whatever it takes to help him through it.
You would be amazed at what a hug would do for no good reason other than to hug him.Also maybe show up at work with a packed lunch and take him to lunch.
You would be amazed at what a little letter would do.Put little notes where he can find them.Maybe one onthe seat of his car or something like that.Letting him know you love him and support him.
Other than that just be his friend that will mean more than anything i think

Try planning a weekend for him and his father if his father is able to travel. Maybe a fishing trip or a camping trip. Something they like to do together. This will give him time with his dad and show your husband that you understand he needs to spend time with him.
Also just be the shoulder that he needs. There are going to be times that he will be so distraught that you will need to be his pillar of strength.
I understand that an Ex in the middle of a situation can be stressful but try to show him that it is not stressing you out. With you being calm and collected during the times your paths cross with the Ex will give your husband the strength to look past it and not dwell on it.
I am sorry to hear that things are so rough for your husband right now. I do wish nothing but the best for both of you. Good luck and know that you will be in my prayers.

I would say the best thing to do is let him be. Let him know you love him and that you are here for him whenever he needs, but don't pressure him, let him have time to himself. He got hit with all this at one time and he probably just wants to be alone. He knows you love him and will always be there for him sometimes people take things different than others. Take Care and may God Bless you and your family.

Take a weekend getaway if you can. Just do something out of the normal routine to spice things up a bit. Be there for him especially when he needs you the most. I hope that everything turns out alright.

I guess that the most important thing would be to let him know that you are there for him and let him know that you love him more than anything and will do anything for him to get out of this depression...
