I'd have gone Gaga over this post before FDS.

I agree with you actually, it's the way she's really bubbly and excited over her husband doing some cooking, cleaning and childcare. She assumes it's really entirely her responsibility and he is so amazing for deigning to do any of it.

My ex used to do little favors for me all the time- but, curiously enough they would always take longer than expected. He went and filled up my gas tank for me- but it took over an hour. He went to pick up dinner for me and the kids (Thai food- my favorite!) but it took 2 hours. Turns out he just needed an alibi while he was out effing the mail lady.

the only red flag i can see is that she doesn't seem to have her own money? unless she's pretending not to then that's fine. i also can see why you find it odd but let's assume the best and that the husband isn't a scrote.

Eh, it doesn't seem too bad. The word "repay" throws me off a little as well, but it seems like she is just looking for ideas to do something nice for him. I think that's fair. Especially when you've been together a while (and you have a small child who's taking up a lot of time and attention), it takes active maintenance to keep a relationship strong. I haven't seen FDS advise women to take a completely passive role and refrain from showing their appreciation in a marriage or LTR. The point is that we reserve our time and love for men we have vetted, have deemed worthy and whom we are in committed and healthy relationships with. Which seems to be the case here (at least from the limited information we have).
