He's just made me the most amazing cheese on toast I have ever eaten.

I don't know how he manages to make this simple thing into a thing of splendour, but its bloody epic.

Bloody. Epic.

What a lovely refreshing thread ❤❤

Mine’s pissing off to his parents with DD for two weeks as soon as the holiday starts .

Also he puts up with my, er, optimistic loading of the dishwasher.

Cheese on toast ? Pah - mine just cooked a Pad Thai However, I expect I'll have to do the washing up

He sounds very controlling.

Mine makes me a coffee every morning (I only drink one a day) and won't let me do the laundry as it's his job. He also suggested we give our lovely cleaner a 20% pay rise when he gets his new job, as he's getting a big pay rise.

On the flip side, he will not stop wearing shoes indoors despite my frequent strops about it Grin.

Mine has brought me wine, which I am enjoying on the patio with my feet up while listening to Sara Cox. He's bloody brilliant.

MikeWozniaksGloriousTache · 16/07/2021 18:20

Mine brought doughnuts home. The good ones. With no prompting at all. I'm pregnant. Beat that.

spinningspaniels · 16/07/2021 18:24

Smug bastards.

Mine's asleep in the corner, pulling a face like a carp.

Grin god job i luffs him.

I am drinking wine whilst he cooks dinner which includes roast potatoes.

I know, hottest day of the year but he.makes really good roast potatoes.

Emmacb82 · 16/07/2021 18:26

Mine shares the cooking, does all the housework, makes me every cup of tea we have and tells me he loves me every day, so very lucky 😍

(he can also be incredibly irritating, snores, makes unfunny jokes, but you can’t have it all 🤷🏼‍♀️)

LBOCS2 · 16/07/2021 18:27

Mine just rang me to say that he was bringing home a bottle of fizz and to find out what takeaway I wanted for dinner 😁

SpacePug · 16/07/2021 18:28

Can I swap husband's with one of you?!
Only joking but I wouldn't mind a DH who makes me cheese on toast! Or brings me something from shop when i say I don't want anything. DH has autism so if I say I don't want anything, he'll take it literally. Hint dropping doesn't work too well here 😂

LadyDanburysCane · 16/07/2021 18:37

Mine has just been outside getting in the washing which he did while I was at work. He made me a cup of tea the minute I walked through the door. My DH is absolutely the BEST.

TheMostHappy · 16/07/2021 18:38

Ah you see mine also makes a splendid cheese on toast with Worcestershire sauce. But he loses points for ordering himself and the dcs takeaway this evening but not for me... Confused

Physio32 · 16/07/2021 18:39

He is fully supportive of me including financially of my upcoming career change

He happily cooks half the time and has a better palate than me

We fit together physically absolutely perfectly

Idroppedthescrewinthetuna · 16/07/2021 18:40

Mine is cooking me salmon and as I finished work, closed laptop down he puts a pimms in front of me. Whilst I worked he did all of the housework I was going to do this weekend.
He has told the children that Mummy has been stressed at work so they can go play in the garden to give me some peace. Then proceeded in inviting my friend round for a bbq tomorrow so I can let my hair down.
I think mine wins 😉

Itgetsthehoseagain · 16/07/2021 18:46

@Slimmingstar

Mine tells me he’s more than happy for me to work very part time, just so I can cover my bills, relax in the sun, walk the dog, meet people for lunch and go to my exercise classes. Happy days!
What's his number, please?
FerretBraces · 16/07/2021 18:47

Awwwww 😍

Mine is bloody brilliant as well. He's away this weekend but did the shopping and listed all the food he bought me to have - which is all my favourite things.

Definitely worth the pain of divorcing husband number 1 to allow me to find him! 😁

Sometimes you have to kiss a few frogs (or in my case poisonous toads) before you find a Prince.

Don't get me wrong, I could very regularly karate chop him for not closing cupboard doors, but by and large he's a good one.

Obviously it's difficult for me as I'm so gosh darn perfect all the time 😆

Mine has Gone Out. First time since December (he's an introvert and very Covid-cautious). I have cold wine (which he bought me last night), cheese and the telly. I might leave LTB-ing for another day...

MyOtherProfile · 16/07/2021 19:17

Hmm you are all deluded. These men are clearly up to something. Time for a communal LTB for sure.

GuyFawkesDay · 16/07/2021 19:25

I kissed a lot of frogs. DH told me he wasn't like other men (I'd had a proper baddun before o met him). I scoffed. He was right. He's a gem. Lets me lie in, does loads with kids and housework. And he just let me get a doggo so he's the best husband ever this week 🤣

My DH built me a summer house to use as an art studio. Makes me coffee and brunch every day.
