To ask for nice things

Thanks for answering and I so hope things work out for you. I asked because my dh does love my children but definitely not like his own.

I love these threads!

I’ve been with my DP for 21 years and he is just the loveliest, kindest, funniest man I’ve ever met.

He makes me properly laugh out loud every single day and we have exactly the same sense of humour.

He does all the household admin and just basically sorts everything out. He loves travel and spends ages researching, booking and planning lovely trips for us; I literally don’t have to do a single thing to make it happen.

He does all the laundry.

He’s really appreciative of everything I do for him. I do most of the cooking and he makes it very clear how grateful he is. Cooking for people is basically my love language so I love the fact that he really appreciates it.

He brings me a cuppa in bed every day.

He understands me very, very well in a way that nobody else does.

We are interested in nearly all the same things.

We never have big rows. I genuinely don’t think he has ever shouted or even raised his voice at me in 21 years.

We share the same values.

He’s brilliant with my family, even when they’re at their most bonkers.

I absolutely adore him and I know without a doubt that he feels the same about me. From day one, there’s never been any stupid mind games or wondering what he means or how he feels. He doesn’t do drama of any kind, doesn’t mess with my emotions etc.

Sorry that was huge.

What a lovely idea for a thread OP

We've been together 18 years today and married nearly 14 years.

Where to start,he's bloody amazing with my family,my Mum and Dad loved him so much that they'd always introduce him to anyone new as their son,he loved my parents like they were his own and despite being heartbroken when we lost them he held everything together for me and our 5DC and for my big brother and his children,he's amazing with my elderly aunties and uncles and helps out with them and he treats my BFF of 44 years like his SIL.

He's fiercely protective of our 5DC,our DGS and me despite the fact that we only had our youngest together(I had 4DC when we met)he treats all of our DC and DGS equally and they all know that he'll always be there for them no matter how grown they are(4 are now adults)and no matter when they need him day or night.

He makes me feel loved and like I deserve to be loved(previous very abusive marriage and relationship messed me up for years)he always wants the best for us all.

And a huge one is he's really kind and he gets that I like to help people out and he's happy to help out as well.

Aah nice thread.

I'm single but ex DP found out from our lads I'm not well and dropped round some bread and milk and some of my favourite sweets.

Couldn't be in a relationship with him but he's a kind heated person.

Lovely thread OP. I've got a great DH too. Loads of things I could say, but the example of our 3rd date sums him up...

My brother & SIL were struggling a bit financially when my nephew was a baby. SIL phoned to ask if I could babysit at short notice, as she had the chance of an extra day's work the next day (brother already working). I agreed and called future DH to apologise/explain and ask if we could reschedule.

He said he was looking forward to seeing me and did I want some company babysitting? Cue us taking 1 year old nephew to the park and me changing a poonami nappy on the grass I loved that he recognised the importance of helping family out. And my lot thought he was mad...but we've been together 14 years and he has put himself out many times for us all. As they do in return. I feel lucky I found him after a series of twats!

Op I'm just curious, does your dh have kids of his own?

He just gets me. Not everyone does, and I will always be grateful that we found each other.

When my Mam died, my DH drove 3 hrs just to give me a hug and have a cup of coffee with me. Then he drove 3hrs back home to do a 12 hrs shift.
I love him so much.

Oh and bonus one about my parents. Been together since freshers week at uni. Dad just turned 70. He said to me the other day “You know, I don’t really laugh out loud a lot at things like comedians or sitcoms. But sometimes your mum just makes a wee comment about something and it sets me off and I can’t stop laughing at it all night”

Just loved that.

Him. He makes me warm and fuzzy even when he's being a git.

He's helpful, to everyone.
He's a force of nature at work.
The way he has with our girls is amazing.
He carries period products in his car, without my asking, just because "I have women in my life" and he's seen all of us get caught at one point or another.
He would stop the world for me if he could.

But he's not....sickeningly sweet, or vapid. He's smart and funny and quick, so bloody quick. He's just decent.

He surprises me with little presents randomly - a LEGO set, my favourite chocolates, new mug, etc.

Hugely supported and encouraged me going part-time with my work to help some of my mental health issues despite it putting more pressure on him financially.

Generally everything he does, he thinks of me, will offer a lift home from work if it’s raining, a chamomile tea if he sees me yawning. We have the most fun together, I just can’t think of anything I’d prefer to do than hang out with him doing literally anything.

I am very indecisive when it comes to cake, DH buys both the cakes I want and cuts them in half so we can have some of both cakes (and he always lets me have the combo with the best topping distribution)
He literally steps in when any unwanted huggers approach me and takes the hug for me.
He is my best advocate, especially when my fatigue is too bad for me to advocate for myself. He'll see the signs that it's getting too much and offer to drive me home.
When we share nachos he gives me the King Nacho with all the cheese.

My partner is pretty amazing. He's my biggest fan but he isn't afraid to tell me if I'm being a twat. I've never felt as comfortable being me as I do with him. He loves my daughter like his own, and he adores my dogs who adore him right back. I'm very very lucky to have him in my life. (The sex is awesome too).

Lovely thread! My husband never fails to be there for me, we have been together a long time. He's kind, he's funny and quite sexy! We can chat for hours and have lots in common and laugh together. Yes, we irritate each other on and off but I can't imagine my life without him. X

Mine is lovely too! He has many good qualities, kind, funny, reliable and capable; and he does lots of nice things for me, but the best thing he does is, if I mention something in passing that I’d like to do/try/have/go to, it’s booked/ordered/ arranged within days.

Big things and little things - the most recent was when we were on a long drive and I said the only thing I missed about my old car (which I traded in for a less flash one that could fit all of our kids in) was that it had a cup holder by the steering wheel rather than in the central bit between the seats. The next day a cup holder that fits onto the vents in the car arrived and I smile every time I see it!

My DH always makes me feel appreciated. He still says thank you for dinner every night, even if what I've made was horrible! He asks me if he can go to the pub or to visit friends for the weekend even though in our 12 years together I've never once objected. It's just nice that he considers me when making plans.

He's a wonderful father. He will take our DD out just the two of them on a sat/Sunday for a few hours to give me some alone time. We do things together obviously but I appreciate that a lot.

He helps around the house without making a fuss and takes care of "the man jobs" that I genuinly cannot figure out how to do (like spending hours putting together furniture and then taking it apart again and back together when I wanted it in another room cos I'm a bloody nightmare). He's just wonderful, honestly. I don't know how or why he puts up with me but I am so so grateful to have him.

I’ve added things to these threads before but today I’m in a foul mood and can’t see the good in anyone so I’m not joining in on this occasion 😂

My husband literally rescued me from self-destruction. I love him to bits and our first baby is due in May.

My DH is the best person I know. We have a newborn and he’s done all the night feeds so far so I can rest and recover from the birth. He really looks after me and is a great dad and partner.
