To ask to hear NICE things about your DP/DH

GaaaaarlicBread · 26/10/2019 18:26

I’ve read some awful posts about Husbands , partners etc over the last few days on here and it’s made me so sad . I want to start a positive thread for you to share your nice things about your partners . A little appreciation post you could say .
I feel very lucky to have a DH who will do housework if he gets to it before me , we take it in turns to make tea , make packed lunches for work if he happens to be cooking , yeah he is a pain in the arse at times as am I but he’s a good egg 😁

Hes honestly the best person I've ever met in so many ways we just work so well together in life.

SleepingStandingUp · 26/10/2019 18:29

Mine is currently washing up having made DS tea. I had a nap. 29 weeks pregnant with twins and not sleeping, I'm now acting as DS's chair whilst I play on MN. He'll put DS to bed later too as he dels every night. I'd do the same back if he was exhausted (and growing two humans from scratch)

Yeahnahyeah1 · 26/10/2019 18:30

He’s messy, he’s hopeless with housework and he works crazy hours but he’s the kindest man I’ve ever met, he looks after me when I’m having a flare up (chronic health problems), he tells me I’m beautiful every single day, he encourages anything I feel like I want to do and he makes every day of my life better just by being him. He’s wonderful

TimeforanotherChange · 26/10/2019 18:33

He is kind. And so lovely - he'd do anything for anyone. I love him more than anything, even though he's messy and drives me mad at times.

Pinkiii · 26/10/2019 18:34

My DH is a great husband and father.

He works shifts and when he doesn’t have to work early he is always up with our DD and lets me have a lie in, or if he gets home from work early always sends me upstairs to rest and be will do Dd’d dinner and bedtime stuff

He never gets angry or disrespectful towards me in anyway, even if we have an argument and i’m
Shouting

He is kind and loyal and loves us fiercely and works hard for us.

Madamswearsalot · 26/10/2019 18:37

He's very funny, really 'gets' me, is just as aware as I am that we both need to do stuff to keep the show on the road and let's me eat more of the chocolate

It makes me want to weep when I see what some women think is ok in a relationship.

Mustrryharder · 26/10/2019 18:41

My hubby is the funniest person I have ever met, we can be doubled over laughing at the silliest things. He's a very good cook and will spend hours cooking just one meal. My mum always says he's the easiest person to please, a good glass of wine or a tub of ice cream and he's very happy. Not materialistic in the slightest and will help anyone ❤

Sewingbea · 26/10/2019 18:42

He's just lovely. He's very kind and loyal and is a brilliant father and always has been since they were tiny. He is very family minded and always helps out with nieces and nephews. He welcomes my family to our home and never begrudges me time with my friends. He's very intelligent, much cleverer than I am, reads widely and is interesting company. He has a very dry sense of humour and cracks me up. He's currently watching Strictly with DD2 because he knows she loves company watching it, despite the fact he has two left feet himself and hates dancing. I am very, very lucky to be married to him. (Though I have improved his taste in clothing since we married... )

Bluewavescrashing · 26/10/2019 18:43

He is tackling his depression and alcoholism totally. He is fully involved with childcare (after 9am) and cooking. He genuinely enjoys playing with the DCs. He provides well for us financially.

Ladyratterley · 26/10/2019 18:44

My DP has his faults, don’t get me wrong! But he makes me a cup of tea every day before he goes to work, and gives me a kiss as he leaves.
He also buys excellent gifts. He really gets that a gift should be something luxurious that you might not buy for yourself.
He wouldn’t think of making me feel guilty for having time to myself or a girls night out. Just waves me off, tells me to have fun and doesn’t bother me with messages when I’m out.
He also does random little things. I went on a hen weekend a few weeks ago and came home to my favourite ridiculously expensive yoghurt In the fridge (La fermiere. So fancy it comes in individual ceramic pots! ) and stodgy hangover food stocked up. He’s alright

TheArtfulScreamer1 · 26/10/2019 18:45

He's far exceeded my hopes and expectations in relation to how fantastic a dad he is to our DD who was born in March

frogsbreath · 26/10/2019 18:45

He is not always there when I want him. He works hard and isn't the type to bring home flowers.

He is always there when I need him.

I've had MH struggles and our only child has a disability. When I'm not coping (honestly, with the heartache and not the workload at home or work) he will be there, helping me find a way to make things better. He understands and would never consciously let me down.

NerdyCurvyInkedandPervy · 26/10/2019 18:45

DP1 - He bakes for me. Parkin and scones and oaty raisin biscuits. He loves me more. More than my anxiety and depression and self loathing.

DP2 - He constantly encourages me to be the best version of me i can be. He's so happy just being in my company and doesn't expect or demand anything of me.

oreosoreosoreos · 26/10/2019 18:46

DH is a genuinely lovely person - he got home earlier, having noticed that the elderly couple over the road (who we only know to wave at) were stood panicking at the flood of water rapidly heading towards their house (very heavy rain here). He immediately went to help, and came back an hour later, completely soaked, having created a dam and diverting the water.

Ragwort · 26/10/2019 18:51

Nerdy You have two partners?

My DH’s not perfect (neither am I of course) but reading threads on here makes me appreciate his good points; he is very open with money, he earns significantly more than me but we have a joint account & he would never dream of ‘telling me’ how much I could or couldn’t spend. We both have complete access to spend as we wish, obviously neither of us would go overdrawn. His DPs are no longer alive but he is very kind and caring to my elderly parents.

He knows I prefer to sleep alone so he keeps to his own bedroom .

Diy2019 · 26/10/2019 18:55

My dp is currently supporting me through postnatal depression.
Nobody else knows, I don't feel I can tell anyone else without being judged.
Dp encouraged me to go to the doctor. I felt so ashamed telling the doctor how I had been feeling whilst holding my gorgeous perfect boy in my arms, if dp didn't encourage me I never would have gone.
Medication has changed my life so much. I have good days and bad days and on my bad days dp is always at the other end of the phone even when he's busy at work and really doesn't have time for my drama.
If it wasn't for dp, I don't know where I'd be now.

NerdyCurvyInkedandPervy · 26/10/2019 18:57

I do indeed, Ragwort

AgeLikeWine · 26/10/2019 19:01

DP is a great cook. He is currently in the kitchen cooking lamb curry with dhal and biryani while listening to soul music on the radio. If smells divine and I’m starving!

TwentyMice · 26/10/2019 19:01

He is an equal partner in parenting and running our home. I don't feel "lucky" that he keeps on top of the washing etc. He is doing his equal share.

He is a kind, gentle, lovely dad to our children ❤️.

lorn195 · 26/10/2019 19:02

My husband is the best. Despite suffering from Rheumatoid arthritis he still helps around the house, and brings me coffee in bed every morning. I love him to bits.

lorn195 · 26/10/2019 19:04

Oh can I add he's an absolute fantastic father to our 2 boys (12 and 17).

JourneyToThePlacentaOfTheEarth · 26/10/2019 19:04

I met my dh when my sons were 1 and 2. He's brought them up as his own for the past 12 years and our daughter too. He does everything he possibly can for our dc, he's never missed a football match or a parent's evening. He cooks, he cleans, he works full time and is trying for another promotion, he shows me so much love and affection and care. I couldn't ask for more.

lorn195 · 26/10/2019 19:06

@JourneyToThePlacentaOfTheEarth what an amazing husband you have.

KronksSpinachPuffs · 26/10/2019 19:06

What a nice thread

My DH is genuinely my favourite person, and we have a genuine partnership.

He always does his gair share if not more of cleaning, cooking, washing etc and he does all the washing up because I dont like doing it. We have the same outlook on life, our goals and money too.

He's kind and funny, he brings out the best in me and he's the exact same kind of weird as me.

Dont get me wrong we still bicker and get on each others nerves but I often read threads on here and thank my lucky stars that I've got a gooden.

ShrimpingViolet · 26/10/2019 19:07

He works ridiculous hours but if I needed him would drop everything to be there.

He's gorgeous, hilarious, kind and generous and never, ever makes me feel anything but better. He told me I was beautiful every single day when I was pregnant with DD and every day since she was born, even when I looked like a sack of potatoes.

He is encouraging and supportive about all aspects of my life, is a wonderful dad and DD adores him.

He doesn't realise how wonderful he is. Which makes him all the sweeter. I am very lucky.
