Rave - he randomly sends me flowers at work for no particular reason. He is helping to organize the move even though he is now in Denver and 2 days into his new job.
Rant - He sometimes spends money foolishly and isn't good about saving.

Rave- Sunday night (Father's Day) he turned to me and said, "I want to do something nice for you. Would you like an ice cream sundae?" and then he went out and got me an ice cream sundae.
Rant- I know there was something I was annoyed about the other day but I can't remember it.

Rave: He left for a business trip today and yesterday he brought home my favorite flowers so that I "could look at them while he is away and know how much he misses me."
Rant: He never wipes the counter around the bathroom sink. This is clearly a minor rant, and I'm more than happy to dry the counter for both of us given how great he is in pretty much every other way. Either that or I'm feeling overly forgiving since I miss him!

Rave: he encourages me to buy new clothes and shoes on a regular basis. Rant: he's not into cleaning and by that I can safely say I've maybe seen him dust like once. He's good at dishes though!
Rant - he ALWAYS wants some new geeky gadget. We have 3 video game consoles, and the man will not stop talking about the Wii U, unless it's to talk about the Playstation 4. But because the Wii is backwards compatible to Gamecube games while the Wii U is not, and because the PS4 is not backwards compatible to PS3 games, he thinks it would be totally reasonable to have 5 video game consoles. FIVE!!!!!!!
Rave - he orchestrated our move pretty much single-handedly, and it went pretty smoothly; he's pretty good about housework; and he's an awesome cat dad.

Rant - he told me last night he would make me coffee in the morning. There was no coffee and then I didn't have tone to make it. Plus he made a really mean spirited comment to me tonight that I am really upset about.
Rave- Sunday night (Father's Day) he turned to me and said, "I want to do something nice for you. Would you like an ice cream sundae?" and then he went out and got me an ice cream sundae.
Rant- I know there was something I was annoyed about the other day but I can't remember it.
Rave: his funny, goofy sense of humor Rant: He is sitting next to me and told me to use a job interview-type answer like "He loves me too much." I would say my rant is he can be moody at times.

Rave: He cleans house and picks up after himself, and picks up after me a lot too. When he's working less hours he does pretty much all the cleaning.
Rant: He's watched almost very game of the NBA Finals, which is fine, but he often has to get up between 4 and 5 lately and he's majorly lacking sleep. But he keeps staying up to watch these damn games then complaining about how tired he is... go to bed earlier or STFU.
Rant--he's being really passive aggressive about his health right now. I am annoyed how much he spent going out for a friend's birthday.
Rave--he makes me feel so loved. He also spends so much of his free time doing projects around our house. His latest project was making our huge, custom pantry in the garage. It s so clean and organized in there now!!!!
Raves- He is extremely ambitious and hardworking. He has been amazing dealing with my pregnancy aches and pains and in helping me get ready for the baby. I think he might be the more excited one!
Rants- He shaves his head in the morning and leaves a bunch of hair in the sink. Eww!
Rant: we're flying out on a business trip early tomorrow morning...flight leaves in 6 hours! Our presentation is at 12. We land at 10. Wtf was he thinking!? We should have left 12 hours ago and stay an extra night.
Rave: I'm flying back on an earlier flight. He arranged for a car service to drive me home so I didnt have to. Airport to home is an hour away.
Rant - I will be cleaning up because he invited people over and he is sitting on the couch checking email.
Rave - On Monday, I ranted to him about working late because my boss screwed something up and he had hot fudge sundaes when I got home....homemade hot fudge.
Rave: He takes the lead around the house and does a good job. He makes me hot breakfast daily and dinner nightly. He is very handy and capable, doing most home and car maintenance himself, savings us lots of money.
Rant: He is clingier/needier than I'd prefer. Also he is not employed right now and I feel like he should be putting more effort into the job search.
Rant - he received several gifts from a work baby shower two weeks ago and hasn't written thank you notes yet. I offered to help him with these and he keeps saying he'll do it, but never does. I feel like this reflects poorly on both of us since we have mutual friends at his workplace (I'm a stickler for TY notes and wrote mine immediately after all my showers). I hate to keep nagging him, but I don't know if he'll ever get around to writing them!
Rave - he's really stepped up around the house (doing dishes, chores, cooking) and taking care of me in the last few weeks of being pregnant (I get a foot massage every night before bed)
