Given the alternative, I'd say that counts. Seasoned with an olive branch? I hope that he showed suitable gratitude and made atonement.

I didn't kill my husband in his sleep.
And I'm making his favorite meal today, even though I want to punch him in his stupid face.
I don't pretend to understand myself.
He said he wasn't hungry and didn't have dinner with us. Can't win for losing.
On the bright side, there's tons of leftovers now, so I won't be cooking tonight.
its the small acts of kindness like this that we as men appreciate. He should have ate dinner, Can I have some of the leftovers? I have a face you can punch. I'll bring wine, and my face.
This is the kindest offer! Though, I don't think I would get gratification from punching your face if you were thoughtful enough to offer it up so easily, and brought me wine. There's still leftovers today, come on over!
About two years ago, I sponsored a family so that a mother wouldn't be sent back to her home country and leave her young kids behind. She got her paperwork done today, and I am extremely happy about that!
That sounds like a great little kindness!
I am going to take a slightly retroactive credit for helping an engaged couple prepare for marriage. We befriended them at a weekend retreat for married couples, and they kind of latched on to us to talk about the ups and down of marriage from our perspective. They seemed to appreciate it. My wife has since been invited to the bridal shower, and we are invited to the wedding!
Oh, yeah. I almost forgot. Today I called a friend who seemed like she needed a friend . But that's just part of being a friend. It doesn't count.
One of my favorite Pete Townsend songs. A friend is a friend.
Sometimes you just know when someone needs help, you can just feel it. I call that intuition.....You just knew
To be completely honest, it wasn't intuition. It was a post that made it plain that she was hurting and could use a friend.

Compassion is something you choose to give. It has to be within you already to acknowledge it. It takes an even bigger person to reflect it.
I took soup to my former m-i-l, who's 97. She likes my soup.
The rehearsal was tonight! Beautiful church. Looking forward to the wedding tomorrow!
Good luck! Are you one of the made of Honor, Best Man?
I think any kindness I did today, was accept to take care of someone's dog. She was leaving and had no where to put her dog, so I told her I would take care of him for her. She seemed relieved. Now I have a new dog, and made her happy.
I am made of honor, but not the best man . This is a couple that we met at a marriage seminar a month or two ago, who pepped my wife and I with questions about marriage. We must have made an impression, because they asked us to help out at their wedding.
Oh, I've heard of those seminars, those are supposed to be very nice! Over here you spend the weekend at a retreat and its a way to improve your marriage.
The logistics vary depending on which group. I live in the southwestern US. Some groups do an all weekend retreat that includes room and board.
This particular weekend in question was a "go home at night" faith based thing. My wife and I were involved in helping put on the program, and this couple was attending.
And thank you
You're welcome , and I didn't answer your question about the dog, its permanent, but he's a cutie. He's a small dog that can stay in the house, so its ok for us as well.
It's great that you were able to give the pup a good home. That's doing a kindness every day.
My dad says that every time he is invited to a wedding he books a honeymoon for him and mom, because he loves weddings. Maybe I should start doing that
