I fancy my husband more due to his new job

He’s had a new job for about 6 months, but today was the first day I’ve met up with him during his lunch hour and I just felt really hot for him! (I do fancy him anyway, but felt extra today)

I think it’s either because I’m proud of him or the fact that he wears a uniform... which he’s never done before.

His old job took him away for work so I never got to see him in that role. It was weird today. I’m not entirely sure why that feeling came along.

Does anyone else feel like this towards their dh?

He’s a postman btw.

@Annoy Is he going to make a special delivery in your box 😂

All postmen have lovely muscular tanned legs

Do posties get issued with trousers? All 'my' posties wear shorts; just wondering if it's a cost-cutting measure...

This thread is warming the cockles 😊

NeverDropYourMoonCup · 08/05/2021 22:11

@Annoy

Just a normal postie uniform *@BellaVida* shorts and all!
Umm - you have a thing for cold, blue knees and a tan that stops at the ankle boot line?

Takes all sorts, I suppose.

I used to melt for my wife in her safety boots and Hi Vis jacket. She was a cargo agent at Heathrow airport. She also always used to carry a pen perched above her ear. She was lovely and I miss her. She died of cancer in July. 58 years young.
I am so so sorry. That is beautiful. 🙏

My husband is a naval officer,I get it!Grin

Allmyarseandpeggymartin · 08/05/2021 22:18

@Seafog Now we’re talking! Tell us more!

Phrowzunn · 08/05/2021 22:22

Ohh this is the cutest thing ever!!
A couple weeks ago I saw my DH out in the wild unexpectedly and I thought ‘oh hello who’s this guy’ before he got closer and I realised it was him 😂
I did tell him and you should definitely tell yours OP!

Seafog · 08/05/2021 22:22

@Allmyarseandpeggymartin this is snap from a few years ago, when he had been gone six months, I was missing on him so hard

Sorry a postie uniform wouldn't get me worked up but a naval one on the other hand ..... 👌

Allmyarseandpeggymartin · 08/05/2021 22:28

@Seafog What a gorgeous photo and look at you looking at him so adoringly. Six months! I bet you couldn’t wait to get him to climb your rigging 😂

Justdontatme · 08/05/2021 22:32

Postmen do often look very manly.

amusedbush · 08/05/2021 22:34

DH is a postie, I’ve never thought about it being a particularly hot uniform Grin

I personally think we should all witness seeing our partners in their work situations, if we can, or at least, as in this thread, in their work apparel.
I used to be able to visit my DH in his workplace.
At home, he and I merged into being parents and housekeepers.
But seeing him at work, in a position of responsibility and talent, reminded me that he was a person in his own right, not just a husband and father, (not that they aren't important roles).
He had his own identity, away from the home, and I saw him in a different light - the person I fell in love with, if you like!

Holothane · 08/05/2021 22:42

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️this thread but heartbreaking as well.

Yeah they do 😀

No idea why they don’t wear them though

Working from home, I now see my husband in his work situation every day. He works with databases in his pyjamas. I love him to bits but it’s not really the same 😂
EvilOnion · 08/05/2021 23:47

My DH is a bin man... Not a particularly appealing uniform BUT I know what you mean - no way I'd be going anywhere near him with it on right enough, unidentified stains/smells all over the place 🤢🤣

@joystir59, your post was so raw. I'm sure your wife was an amazing and beautiful woman. I'm sorry for your loss but happy you had your time together and hope that the memories of her (hi-viz or otherwise) continue to make you smile 💐

@Seafog, you both look so happy to be reunited! I love the way you're gazing at him , totally adoring 😍

I don't think anyone apart from the OP has!
