Is it reasonable to expect your husband to do things for you that they wouldn't do for anyone else

[c=#4C0073]or is that asking too much?

I was just having a conversation with a friend and she thinks that's unreasonable, but isn't that what happens when you're in love? You do things for them that you ordinarily wouldn't. Isn't that how you show that they aren't like the rest of them? Or am I way off on this? [/c]

Al-Bukhaari (55) and Muslim (1002) narrated from Abu Mas’ood al-Badri (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: [quote]“If a Muslim spends on his family, seeking reward for that with Allaah, then it will an act of charity on his part.” [/quote]

Spend can mean time, money, happiness etc.

I do for my wife everything I can to make her happy and her life pleasant!

I agree with you

If you're in love you should do things that you don't normally do for other people. One reason is because those abnormal things are special and unique all the same to the person that you're in love with..

If he wouldn't do them, he wouldn't do them. Why should being someone's husband mean he has to? Boundaries should be respected especially in marriage.

@Shadows: [c=#4C0073]Yes, there are boundaries. If youve been with someone long enough you know their boundaries. They don't have to do anything, but they shouldn't be running around talking about they love you either. [/c]

I agree with you, Violet. I am a works of service kind of love language person. If someone truly loves you, they should do things for you without question, and vice versa!!!!

There are plenty of things I do for my wife, that if anyone else asked me to do I'd tell them to eff off. That's part of love. She does the same for me.

You are spot on. We do things for our husbands that no one else BETTER try, and they should do things for us that no one else BETTER try.

I would say it's reasonable. It's how I treat my wife, after all, she's not just anyone to me.
sighmeupforthat · 46-50, M
great expectations eh? sounds all too much nonsensical covfefe to me.
VioletRayne · 31-35, F
@sighmeupforthat: [c=#4C0073]not everything is for everybody, but why be married if the person is going to treat you like every other woman?[/c]

When I was truly in love, I would do any and everything for my wife. I believe that it is your friend who is way off.

[i][c=#BF0080]I think I'd agree, but it definitely would depend on what the specific things were. [/c][/i]

If you ask nicely, he should be happy to do pretty well anything (within reason).

Going abovecand beyond for a lover is one thing. Having your lover expecting it as normal is another.
HikingMan · 51-55, M
Not I. Not like that anyway. My wife does things for me because she wants to. When she doesn't do those things, I don't ever think of it as a slight, nor does it affect the way I feel. She can do as she pleases

@HikingMan: [c=#4C0073]You're a very unique individual then. [/c]
HikingMan · 51-55, M
Um..., thanks, I think. I just always assumed it was normal.
That's how it should be but never happens

@Nunlover: [c=#4C0073]there is only one person I have ever romantically loved and I would go to the moon n back for him. I have on multiple occasions.[/c]
@VioletRayne: nice to know there's actually one person that would do it ,you are a keeper 😘
VioletRayne · 31-35, F
@Nunlover: 😘 [c=#4C0073]thats what they say[/c]

if you think they owe it to you, your relationship is going to turn real ugly real quick
VioletRayne · 31-35, F
@MartinTheFirst: [c=#4C0073]I never said anything about being owed anything. I think it's just a sign of being in love. If someone won't go out of their way for you but claims to love you, they are lying. I have never seen a person in love that wouldn't do everything imaginable for the person they love.[/c]
