Does anyone have a jolly dh?

[Pansypath]

I love my dh. But in these difficult times I would quite like a jolly dh. One who sees the sunny side and cheers everyone up and suggests games and makes silly faces on sandwiches etc. Not a grumpy sit in the corner headphones on being grumpy kind of chap. Do jolly DH's even exist, and is their jolliness a pain in the arse in normal times?

Probably only Mrs Claus. Sorry OP!

My husband is very jolly and funny, yes. He's been lightening the mood a lot in our house thankfully!

My DH is unbelievably (but unrealistically!) optimistic! He thinks we'll be back to work after Easter, but I wouldnt say he's jolly!

Mine is jolly and homey 80-90% of the time and a grouch the rest. It works for me, but when he's joking too much he does get on my nerves a bit!

My DH is very jolly. Nothing phases him. Hes a man of simple pleasures and I have never seen him worked up

Our DC had major surgey aged 1 (heart bypass) and he was upbeat. Had absolute trust in the drs and was my rock and actually took me shopping during her 6hour surgery to take my mind off it

Im currently terrified i am about to loose my job and hes happily plodding along his usual happy self

He keeps me grounded

Not exactly jolly but unfailingly cheerful, calm and even-tempered. It's why I'm with him after a lifetime of moody gits. I'm the moody git now! He never, ever loses his temper except sort of mildly - and that's never at me, more at politicians.

I think you need to help him out!
We keep each other jolly doing silly things, do it together is my thought, not just his responsibility.
Sorry did that sound grumpy? I didn't mean to.
We are just being daft together!

My dh is an eternal optimist

Mine has his antisocial headphones on moments and his jolly make us all laugh moments. I’d enjoy if the jollier moments were more regular but I’m not exactly sunshine all the time either!!

My DH is 80-90% of the time. The rest of the time he is stressed with a hellishly demanding job but he keeps it to himself. We laugh every day.

I wouldn't describe him as 'jolly' but he is an optimist, good-tempered, funny, makes the best of things and cheerful. He has been great the last few weeks at keeping us all on an even keel. I am prone to pessimism and anxiety and he has kept me sane.

Dh isn't jolly as in a "laugh a minute" bloke but he is a lot more positive and upbeat than I am. He's like a kind of antidote to my more downbeat look on life. It only does my head in when I'm trying to have a straight conversation and explain my worries and he's just giving me daft answers but that's not all the time; it's only when he's in "that" mood.

Considering the circumstances, mine is pretty jolly. He was signed off work with stress the week before lockdown. So his quiet days have been replaced with me and 2 small kids at home all the time!

My dh is very jolly, but only when out socially, at home he is a pessimistic pain in the arse.

Mine is a miserable spoilt c*nt. He pretended to be jolly - then we got responsibilities.

I do, he’s awesome.

My DH is so well known for being a grump a smile on his face would seriously worry people.

I call him the thief of joy as he robs me and ds of happy, light moments.

It's hard to believe there are DH's out there actually enjoying their life (outside of work).

Fuck it, I'm gonna use the last of the bread for toast and then he can grump into an empty lunchbox tomorrow

My DDad is jolly. I would have actually murdered him in a lockdown. Just a normal morning made me stabby.

Give me practical, stoic and pragmatic DH any time.

Mines like yours OP. Perfect normally. Worrying times, not so much. All jolly ness gone.

Gosh, I never realised there’s so many jolly men out there. How have I managed to meet so few of them in 50+years! I am positive happy upbeat and practical, and seem to attract the opposite.

Not me. Mine has turned into sergeant fucking major. He's lovely really but he is doing my head trying to home school the kids.

I don’t know about “jolly” but my husband is mostly happy, shares my sarcastic sense of humour and is by far the most laid back and funny person I have ever met. He’s the total opposite of me which is why he makes me so happy. To be honest I’m enjoying having him home during this shit time.

I’ve got a jolly one - it’s lovely. He is great in this sort of situation.

No but he is more positive in nature than me.My exh was the wannabe clown,he thought he was hilarious urgh no I just felt my vag suck up into my stomach.

I have a jolly dh (I’m the more pessimistic/worry wart one). Sometimes his eternal “look on the bright side” attitude pisses me off but I have to say I’m so grateful to have him at the moment. Being stuck at home with a grump at a time like this must be shit.

We’ve been together a long time and his general attitude has really rubbed off on me - I know it’s cheesy but I do feel he’s changed me for the better - I don’t generally let much get me down nowadays.
