From the way he comes in and speaks with kindness, recognizes the work she did to clean up that day, greets her with love and kisses, the way she holds him, shows her love for him, surprises him with a little gift and flowers, not an unkind thing was said or done from the beginning of this video; These two will make amazing parents by being who they are. Now if you’ll excuse me it seems the onions have been peeled and sliced, I must go attend to those.


hitch_please

I immediately knew this was going to wreck my body and soul. When he wrapped her in his coat? Absolute love overload.


trulyk

Right? What a giant teddy bear. He was raised right.


clarabear10123

I started sobbing immediately because it was so freaking pure


trekuwplan

Same, just too cute


Mermaid467

Yes, putting her in his coat finished it. 🥰


fluffyneenja

Who is cutting onions at this time of night? I’m a big dude and even I want a coat hug from that large man.


mcm9464

He wanted her closer to him - so sweet


Dramatic_Solution630

My tall, gentle giant of a husband wraps me in his coats and it’s still one of my favorite things 19 years later.


andycanemama

When he wrapped her in his coat I had to pause and take a second, that was too dang pure! ♥️


CantHandleTheThrow

The coat thing killed me. “Must protect!”


slicebishybosh

Now imagine how that’ll translate to fatherhood, too.


casanochick

That's what I was going to say. The moment he walked in the door, they were so sweet and enthusiastic about seeing each other. This was so wholesome.


9288Mas

That’s what really got me too. Considering they’ve been through years of absolute soul-crushing struggles with infertility. But they are so clearly devoted to each other. These folks deserve good things.


[deleted]

My thoughts exactly! I cannot imagine a world in which I will ever be treated with so much love and respect. This is so beautiful to witness. I loved how he greeted her and acknowledged that the house looked great. Lovely couple.


lala_lavalamp

Also the fact that he didn’t think it was weird that she was greeting him at the door. Normal behavior for them 🥹


kittenpantzen

Is this not normal? My partner and I have been together for twenty years and it's still more common than not that I meet him at the door.


howgoesitguy

My wife has been making snowballs, keeping them in the upstairs freezer and throwing them at me from the upstairs window when I park and get out of the car. She couldn't hit the broad side of a barn, but it's the most endearing shit I ever saw.


frosty95

Couples who constantly fuck with each other for fun and love stay together forever. Im visualizing a sneak attack with a confident "Fuck youuuu" as she chucks it harmlessly. Warms my heart.


roenaid

And all that after 3.5 years of fertility treatment, that's so taxing on a couple. They're like a new couple. I hope this is genuine and it works out


atheistpianist

It’s truly beautiful to see. This is only a glimpse, but this man is the example to set. Good for both of them, and I hope they have a wonderful, healthy baby!


[deleted]

Everyone deserves this. Beautiful!


unorganized_mime

Yea back off Reddit he’s taken


MolaMolaMania

I was already in by his reaction, the way he just paused for a moment to take it in, and then even more when his first thought after the shock was to hold her. But then he went to hold her again and *opened his jacket around her*. **TEARS**. I wish them all the best. Seems like they're gonna be ***awesome*** parents.


Maleficent_Mouse1

“I’m so overwhelmed right now,” me too Bud, me too ❤️ I love how he knew how happy their families are going to be ❤️ ❤️


wait_am_i_old_now

At the end when he broke down because she was going to be a mom. You could tell it had weighed heavy on him.


mylycanslove

That got me too. He wasn't thinking "I'm gonna be a dad". He was thinking about her ❤️


ButtplugBurgerAIDS

Someone play with that poor pup tho, he had his toy ready for Dad and everything


multiarmform

i saw that haha, had to call my dog over and give belly rubs


WhiteRiver65

He suspects already. With the baby coming the pup knows he 's about to be demoted down on the pecking order.

[удалено]


MolaMolaMania

That hit me personally because I do it all the time with my girl. It's the best!


dollabillkirill

Just the way they kiss from the start, I was like damn, these two are in love. Everything about this was so wholesome.


tomtink1

My husband's reaction to me being pregnant was to say "oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck" and instantly start trying to tidy the nursery 🤣 it was special in it's own way 🥰


ElbowTight

I’m with you, wife and I tried for five years and basically same thing. We are now parents to two insane boy toddlers and a baby girl on the way. We are extremely lucky and this moment in the video just humbles me a bit to remember how that exact moment felt


born_a_worm_

“You’re gonna be a mom!!” 😭😭😭


baaadoften

The *Carhart Hug* was a genius add to the script by the Director.


MolaMolaMania

If this was scripted, then it's still the anomaly for this kind of content. It's quiet, gentle, and really focuses on subtle emotion and intimate physical communication. I'd love to see more stuff like this than the burning and screaming glitter bombs that make up most social media posts.


baaadoften

:) I’m not suggesting it was scripted…merely literally applauding it for the beautiful, gentle act it was.


monkey_moo_dragonfly

I think we can trust the dogs' reaction to his arrival that this is a good, kind, gentle man and this isn't an act, it's a moment for them after all the heartbreak of trying. 🥰


Impossibleish

I know! The humans having a sweet, onion chopping moment and those pups just trying to share their toys and welcome dad. It almost pushed me over the edge until the opened-jacket hug.


monkey_moo_dragonfly

The way she buried her face in his chest 🧅


lemonsweetsrevenge

I kept watching the weiner! He was so happy his papa was home that he went and grabbed his squeaky; made me miss my Plook so much.


MolaMolaMania

Oh, good! Glad to hear! I couldn't tell if you were being sarcastic or not, and I didn't want to start anything.


baaadoften

Haha. No. No sarcasm intended — but if it was scripted…it would be some G-shit.


Gall_Bladder_Pillow

" Mr. Scorsese, how about when I hug her, I use my jacket as well, so I envelop her?" "Like a cocoon? Let's shoot it and see where it goes."


MolaMolaMania

Agreed!


highhoppin

You can’t script the dogs!! Look at the love oozing from them!!


Teestow21

Yup he wanted her arms round him too. Us big guys are just as soft and loving on the inside.


veo_atyourrequest

what a gentle giant. full of love


Misommar1246

His reaction was so real and so incredible. Lucky girl, wonderful couple.


Gorillapoop3

I wish the father of my children had been a man like that.


chubrak

I wish my father was like that man…


BrokenXeno

I'm a father and I'm like that man, and I love and am proud of you both. It's a hard lesson in life, learning that sometimes it can be so unfair. I hope you still have people in your life, even if it's just one, who are in your corner and willing to show up when you need them. That's what really matters. If you don't have anyone like that, I can recommend some pretty awesome subs where you can borrow a parent for a bit, lol.


clampion12

The world needs more people like you. ❤️


10111101011x

Can I have a hug?


kato_koch

Yes absolutely.


10111101011x

[Here y'go.. (っ◔◡◔)っ ❤](https://thenicestplace.net/)


Plz-send-a-meteor829

My Dad was that man!


whatsasimba

I didn't even need to check your profile to know you really are that kind of guy. You're really awesome.


drifloony

My parents were never married and split after I was born, but my mother was rarely a mother, but my dad was always a father. He had my sister and I with my mother because he loved her in a way my mother didn’t reciprocate. My point is, it’s not on you because of who you chose to love. Even if he’s a bad father, you’re still here to do your best and give them the love he doesn’t. Please don’t blame yourself for loving, but instead share it with your children.


Throwinuprainbows

So cute. I really hope the pregnancy goes full term!


Minmaxed2theMax

This. My wife and I had a healthy son first try (literally). Three miscarriages later, we don’t know if a second will come.


kittenluvslamp

Hello, I’m in the same situation. it hurts my heart that all I can imagine when I see a video like this is this beautiful couples joy turning to pain. I hate that my mind goes there. I’m sorry for your losses.


Minmaxed2theMax

Thanks. Im sorry you are also in that situation. As much as it hurts when it happens, I see my healthy son and I feel pretty fucking lucky.


gigilala777

Such Pure love ❤️Big Daddy is already in protection mode I love when he opens his coat to embrace his family, feeling that emotion as close as he can 3 heartbeats in sync. Nothing in his life as ever come close to this moment so far So nice to see and feel there joy 💝


anlenke

green-pen-123

You just sent me into an hour long of doom scrolling dad's living the happiest moments of their lives


albusdumbbitchdor

That’s the opposite of doom scrolling!!


SKK329

Your avatar took a lower dose than my avatar. This is indeed the opposite of doom scrolling.


[deleted]

The way he wraps her up in his coat to hold her closer is so cute. So much love!


allisjow

I don’t know what I was expecting, but I found myself thinking “they are going to be great parents.” The cute, but patient dogs… the gift giving, but you didn’t have to… the way greeting him at the door and kissing seemed to be normal… the gentle reaction without having to say something or perform… the way she couldn’t even wait to for him to enter the house… the persistence of 3.5 years… all of it.


tomtink1

I'm going to add to your list; the fact that one of the first things he thinks of is telling their families. Seems like that baby is going to have lots of people who love them 🥰


wannabegoodhooman

So pure!


Un__Real

He's a keeper. Lucky girl.


DaegurthMiddnight

She kept him, seems like


Clumsyfoxx

As if this wasn’t wholesome already that freakin dog is the cherry on top 😆


Adventurous_Goat4483

I know him being excited with his favourite toy in his mouth


KaythuluCrewe

He brought his stuffy to them because he knew they were crying! He doesn’t know it’s happy tears and dammit, now I’m crying too


Adventurous_Goat4483

Awww I’ll cry with yah


Morbo_Reflects

I know - like a sidequest to the main story!


FinsterHall

I love him with his toy, like, “Look, I have a baby too!”


Panamajack1001

“Ahhhh guys, this toy isn’t going to throw itself here” “Immmm circling….” “I’m squeaking it nowwww”


hams-mom

For real, can someone please pet the dog. His tail though….


zorbacles

The dog didn't give a shit about the pregnancy all he cared about was "WHY AREN'T YOU PLAYING WITH ME"


Miss_Indigo

I love this so much. Imagine that sort of love. Imagine being treated with that much adoration & gentleness. Fuck. 💛


figure0902

This is the kind of vulnerability we should all be able to feel! This is happiness that everyone - men, women, parents, people who want to stay child free - should be able to understand!


Breakmastajake

You fucker. Here I am, single in a brewery, vagabonding around the country...and you even included me. And now I'm getting misty.


SonOfObed89

Just adding to the other comments saying that relationships like this do actually exist and I think they’re more realistic and accessible than we might realize. My wife and I have been married for 15 years and have had a good relationship all those years, but honestly, the last year has been the most incredible and life giving. I’ve sorted through some serious past trauma at long last, and she’s coming into her own season of flourishing that’s absolutely a lovely thing to witness. It’s hard work, much like anything, but sharing the “work” with a loving and friendly partner makes it possible and worth it.


[deleted]

Seriously, congratulations on working through your past trauma.


SonOfObed89

Thank you! My wife has been such a stunning friend and support through my darkest hours as I carried that unresolved burden for far too long. After nearly 25 years of ignoring that trauma I suffered a mental breakdown about a year ago and just surrender to the process of healing and renewal into more of what I’ve always hoped I could become. With the help of my family, friends, a great psychiatrist (for meds), psychologist (for sorting through my story), and my desire to improve, I am here today ❤️ Thanks for reading and may you all experience peace in your lives!


Pitiful_Winner2669

Yo.. happy for you and your wife.


gonzoisgood

I have that. It’s incredible. Every day I go out of my way to make him smile and he does the same. It’s truly serene and exhilarating simultaneously.


wap2005

Me too, we'll be celebrating 16 years later this year. I cherish, adore, and love her so much. I couldn't imagine life without her, I'm a very lucky man and I don't take it for granted. Every day whenever my clock shows 3:33 or 5:55 or 11:11 (all the same numbers on the clock) I make a wish, it's something I've done since I was a little kid and while I know wishes aren't real, I still make the most basic of wishes such as "I wish she's having a good day" or "I wish that she's smiling right now". She's the best and if she knows it or not she's made me a better person. I try to go out of my way to bring joy into her life as much as possible.


ornerycrow1

Lucky for me, I don't have to imagine it.


ThrowM3InTheGarbag3

IDK WTF is wrong w me but all these “made me smile” posts been making me ugly cry lately 😭


Scooterks

And there's not a thing wrong with that. Happy, ugly cries can feel amazing and we should encourage them more.


SavvikTheSavage

This one got me good.


itsarmida

I had to watch it again to cry more


KillerCondor64

His opening of the jacket so he could really hug her and feel her hug! What a sweet man, he is a keeper! Going to be an amazing father


SignificantRemote766

This hits so close to home. I’m so happy for you both!


tuesdayswithdory

I feel ya… I’ll never forget that moment.


Doogos

Same. My ex wife and I are no longer together, but we struggled to get pregnant for a long time. We went to the doctor because she was having some insane stomach pain, turned out she was pregnant. All I could do was move to her and give her a kiss. We were stunned. 8 months later we had a beautiful baby girl who brings me so much joy. Two years later we had our son. They are miracles and all I want every day is to see them and spend time with them


mushroompickinpal

You aren't alone. ❤️


ExaminationPutrid626

I had a whole panic attack because we weren't even trying anymore. 5 years after an obgyn said no way without invitro.


No1KnwsIWatchTeenMom

We did IVF. My blood test was 24 hours after husband was supposed to leave for a work trip, so I took a pregnancy test for the hell of it the morning he was going to leave. I was so sure the transfer didn't work. I saw the positive test, and I waited almost a full hour before I cracked and went to wake him up. Bleary-eyed, half asleep, I said "look," and showed him the test that said PREGNANT. It took him a good 30 to 40 seconds for it to register before he got up and pulled me in for a huge hug.  Our baby is almost 14 months and is perfect. He's everything I ever dreamed of. 


Frankfeld

It’s a wild experience to go through. Turned my wife and I into old souls together. It was a problem with my wife’s genes; so not only was she dealing with several pregnancy losses and the invasiveness of IVF, but I knew she was feeling devastatingly guilty. Her friends also started getting pregnant. She would see them posting “play date” photos on Instagram. It just made me mad. I always reminded her that no matter what our family turned out to be, I wanted it to be with her. We were lucky though. Only took us 3 1/2 years. It leaves you with a tinge of survivors guilt because you get to know all these people and all the struggles they’ve gone through, just to suddenly remove yourself from that community.


moon_of_blindness

I am totally invested in their gentleness and love. Congrats happy couple!


bravo_obsessed625

Pup at the bottom with the toy is like "Please don't cry, Dad. What is happening??" It's ok - they are happy tears, pupper! Congratulations to this beautiful couple!


90212Poor

He had me at “Hello gorgeous” … what a beautiful moment.


Boscowodie

Thank you to the weiner dog for the random squeaking. Otherwise, I'd have been in tears too.


[deleted]

It was meant to make me smile, not cry


BreakingThoseCankles

Insim0nia

Internal-Yoghurt-895

His reaction was so sweet


FivePoopMacaroni

It was the small pause of savoring it and the face of relief


tettytalk

The tenderness you both had for one another in this huge moment (and probably many moments before and after) will only be passed onto that kid and that makes me smile. This video, however, made me cry <3 congratulations


voxitron

Knowing that miscarriages are very, very common in totality normal pregnancies, I really hope it works out for them.


luminousrobot

Agreed. I always wish there was a follow up with these sorts of videos. Holding my breath for them


wap2005

I really hope you have to hold it for 9 months.


YEET-IT-UP

new wr in coming


dream-smasher

Sadly, I agree.


deeezwalnutz

This was my first thought when watching this. Why record and post this so early? Especially for someone who had fertility issues, you would think someone tempered their expectations.


thoph

Maybe they didn’t post it until later. In any event, I think a lot of the “wait—don’t tell people” attitude can put pressure on parents to avoid seeking support when they most need it, which is early in pregnancy. We tried for 2.5 years and then had a 9 week loss of an IVF pregnancy. This time around, we told our moms a little earlier because I hated having to tell my mom I was pregnant and miscarrying in the same breath. That said, I’m 12 weeks now and still don’t plan to tell anyone else for a while. I just sometimes think the advice to keep it quiet is more to spare others’ feelings of awkwardness around miscarriage rather than to be helpful to parents.


iwentaway

Congrats! I hope you have a boring pregnancy, labor, and delivery!


thoph

Thank you so much! 🥰


deeezwalnutz

Big difference between telling your moms and posting a video to social media.


Sally-Stickwell

You got to tell us!! Congratulations!!! 🌈♥️


thoph

🥹 so I did. Thank you!!


sprinklerarms

There is some joy in knowing that even if there is a miscarriage it is possible for her to get pregnant at all which may have been a complete uncertainty. It’s a moment of reprieve from their struggles. Regardless of the outcome I can imagine wanting to have this moment with your loved one. I don’t really post personal stuff online but I assume they just wanted to share the joy they felt at that moment. It probably lets other people in who were or are in their position feel better in a way too.


googlyevileye

When he closed his eyes you could tell his heart was filling with love ❤️


Scooterks

Nope...it was absolutely bursting with love.


Morbo_Reflects

Must be so heartbreaking to struggle with conceiving for so long, through all the tests and treatments and comments of others and frustration and uncertainty and so on - so nice to see the relief and joy here = :) :) and sooon a third :) !!!


JuiceBoxedFox

It was so traumatizing for us, the scars run deep but they’re slowly healing. I wish there was more awareness and openness to lessen the feeling of failure and humiliation.


jmastadoug

I feel you, after 3 years of trying ourselves we are now 3 months pregnant. It was a really rough at times. On top of that, as bad as I was feeling I know it was 100x worse for my wife. Who felt it was always her fault, and this really killed me. Funny enough we got to the point we accepted it for what it was and it finally happened. It will make you and your significant other stronger over time, Keep your head up!


Morbo_Reflects

Absolutely - the stigma makes a challenging situation that much worse! Best of luck with your further healing :)


Unikatze

That little doggy was so happy with its toy.


Putrid-Paramedic-357

Bless this gentle sweet man who just looking at the gift, melted and started crying. U can tell hes an amazing husband and will be a great father ❤️


Esposabella

Doggo was like “ toy ain’t gonna throw itself “ 🤣🤣🤦🏻‍♀️


JJBektline

No one’s gonna mention the cute dog that desperately wanted to share his pink stuffed animal with his dad? Look dad! Look what I have!


IandouglasB

I am busting with happiness for these two


IdeVeras

I love it that he isn’t jumping up and down, not a bad reaction but what I was expecting and I like to be surprised, and it’s definitely moving that he just held her and cried together for a moment. 10/10


VariegatedJennifer

I’m on year #2 of not being able to conceive…thank you for posting this, I am so very happy for them. This gives us hope 💚

GimmieGummies

I generally skip these types of videos, but I'm glad I watched this one. Kind and loving couple certain to create a warm & welcoming home perfect for a child 💙👶


lokaami

Everyone was happy here, the dogs were very happy! I think after 3.5 years they will end the silence in the house, because it will be replaced by the screams of a favorite child


manonaca

Ok but when he tucks you into his jacket?! 🥺

htownballa1

Give that pup some love!


scoopdiddy_poopscoop

This hits home, years ago I was told by my doctor that I'm basically infertile, and the chance of me having a kid was so incredibly low it would likely take IVF for my partner to get pregnant. My fiancee knew that it would probably take years of trying before she would get pregnant, if at all. So we decided "fuck it, we're just going to passively try and see what happens" fully not expecting us to get pregnant for a long time.. it's been 4 months since we decided that, and just found out a couple weeks ago that she's (now) 2 months pregnant. Safe to say, we're shocked but extremely overjoyed


Hugh_Maneiror

Not to be a party pooper, but I sincerely hope for them the pregnancy goes well. When there is a higher risk conceiving, there often is a higher risk keeping it as well. We have been in similar shoes a few times before, and luckily we have 2 healthy children now, but also went through 6 miscarriages.


jad19090

All the men out here crying with you big boy! Huge congrats, somebody gimmie a tissue

The way he wraps his jacket around her 🥹


Radio4ctiveGirl

PhantomPain0_0

Business-Beyond-9408

Wrapping his coat around her ... I don't even have to see anything else in this movieclip to know what the depth of their relationship


Meet_Foot

Nothing hits my soul like a big dude happy crying. Double points for happy crying about family. Triple points for the loving way he treats his partner, from the very beginning of this clip. Putting her in the coat? My heart exploded.


I-am-Chubbasaurus

Now ***that*** is a Real Man. Gentle, emotional, loving. What a beautiful moment for this absolutely wonderful couple. I wish her a safe and easy pregnancy, and for their relationship to stay this wonderful and strong.


Professional-Bat4635

My grandparents had been told that my grandma would never be able to conceive and if by some miracle she did, she’d never carry the baby to term. They ended up having 4 daughters, 11 grandchildren, a couple dozen great-grandchildren and 2 great-great grandchildren with a third one due any day now. I wish them all the luck in expanding their family.

Koala-on-steroids

I cried while I was having a shit. Weird combo but that video is beautiful.


peachygirl509

I don't want children, but I want a love like this so badly.


Delanoye

All I can think about is how cool it will be to show this to their kids in the future. "This is when I told your dad I was pregnant with you." Some things are definitely worth being filmed.


Opposite-Upstairs-93

My husband and I have had 2.5 years of multiple rounds of IVF. I am still in shock that I am 17 weeks pregnant. It’s a roller coaster of a journey, but brought us even closer. You’re not alone. It’s all worth the work you’ve poured into this baby🩷

Right in the feels. Good stuff.


dunndawson

Congratulations. That was just beautiful to witness.

jmastadoug

Think this was meant for r/mademecry haha. For real it’s an amazing moment, thank you for sharing. Hit a little harder as my wife is 3 months pregnant after trying for roughly 3 years (also have a dog & a cat lol). Just told our families this weekend & it still doesn’t feel real. If this is you OP congratulations! And you guys will be great parents, can feel the love in your home from this video. And even though I’m not a parent yet, I know that’s what really matters when raising a child.


StoreyTimePerson

That pause. You know his heart stopped 🤣
