My husband is better than your husband...

[lachy]

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.

Mine did my workout with me this morning. Doubt I’d have done it otherwise.

My DH is awful. He makes me delicious cakes and puddings that he doesn't even like, just because he knows I like them. So many spare tyres. Bastard.

Mine is full time doing everything in the house including, washing, cooking, cups of tea etc because DS2 and me tested positive, hes on duty for this for ten days, i think that makes him a gem but to be fair if it was him i would do it for him too. Under normal circumstances we pretty much share chores although i am particular about laundry and am strugglin sat here looking at a line of stuff he has just pegged out 😮

Mine laughed with surprise when I told him the other day that during a one night stand you don't actually need to be standing for it to count as a one night stand 😂 I don't know, I feel like I might have won something for that.

Rather surprised at the dh upthread sponsoring a tummy tuck.

I have a very wobbly jelly belly and my dh swears blind I have a washboard stomach - preeen.

Mines buggered off fishing with mates for 4 days & feels guilty (I cunningly planted the idea in the first place) now waiting for the girls to arrive with wine.

Mine lets me sleep in at the weekend and deals with DS 😍

Somebody give me hope there are still single men out there like this?! Kindness is so underrated. I can't imagine someone doing something spontaneous for me. You are all very lucky ladies!

My husband makes me tea throughout the day without being asked,, drops me off at work 5 days a week (despite the fact he's just come in from a hard night shift) He even gets up early on his days off to take me to work. He's just gone for some shopping I need as I'm melting with the heat and can't face going back out. We've been married 22 years and lovr each other more than ever.

Mine went to Sainsbury’s three times yesterday to get all the stuff I had forgotten to ask him the first two times! And he makes the perfect cappuccino and g&t. He also comes on holiday with my mum every year. A true prince among men!

Mine cuts my toenails. He also does all the washing up and the laundry. Plus makes a really great special fried rice.

Mine does all the food shopping, thinking about food, packed lunches and cooking. And helps clear up. I haven’t cooked tor two years.
He does the diy, helps me change the bedsheets, hangs washing up without being asked to.
Feeds me cold booze and makes a mean g and t.
Is great with the kids and is sneakily teaching them loads of stuff so their reports are always fantastic.
Bought me a switch for my birthday and encourages playing animal
Crossing to relax.
Is making paella for dinner.
Ummmm I am off to give him a big kiss as he is really fab.

I always think mine is an absolute tosser.

But.

He just cleans up when he sees a mess. Even on his lunch break from work.

He does the food shopping. He ferries my teen ds around without moaning. He gets up in the night to make a bottle for the baby every single night.

He does so many little things that show that me and the kids are the first thing on his mind with everything.

He single handedly sorts everything out for my elderly and very difficult parent without moaning.

He might get a shag tonight.

Mine is going to build me an outside aerial rig on the lawn so I can practise silks every time it isn’t raining.

Oh mine makes the most amazing cheese 'toastie' her puts butter on the outside and cooks it in the frying pan! He also brings me tea in bed (we're in the loft conversion) and has made the kids breakfast every day since lock down (bar 1 or 2). He is the best! Only been together 24 years ❤️🥰

My DH is unequivocally the best! He does all the hoovering, I don’t even know how to use the vacuum. He does the bins every time, he always fills my car up with petrol even when I’m driving. He picks all the dog poo up in the garden. He tells me he loves and adores me every day, he makes me feel like the most beautiful woman in the world, he is so handsome, funny and has buckets of charisma yet he doesn’t have an ego. He is perfect! He puts me first and makes me feel very secure. My friends tell me they are jealous of our relationship 😊 I feel so unbelievably lucky to have found him after two crappy long term relationships before him. He has restored my faith that there are some wonderful men around. His friends are all absolutely lovely too. He is going to be the most incredible father ❤️

My DH knows I'm far too astute to fall for false flattery

Someone's husband doesn't make them cheese on toast

Thankfully for me I ditched him a few years back he was useless in general, but I never ever thought on the occasions where he went to the shops or poured drink into a glass that he was a 'legend' or 'epic' would rather stay single than have a man and keep those standards 🙊

Ah, I think this explains quite a lot....

However, I think you're missing the point. People are specifically mentioning just the little, every day gestures which makes your relationship run that bit more smoothly and happily.

I'm sure, our DHs have also made huge gestures too. For instance, when I had PND my DH did all the night feeds for months (despite also working a 16 hour day setting up his business) so I could properly sleep. He never once made me feel guilty either.

And, when my poor Mum had dreadful neighbours but couldn't afford to move, he happily stepped in and bought her a little house much nearer us. Something her own (very wealthy eldest son) wasn't prepared to do. But DH did it because he hates seeing me so worried about my Mum.

Yes as @peaceanddove says it's not about grand gestures but the little things that make a difference. If my dh didn't take me to work I would have to get 2 buses, have over a 2 hour commute daily or pay for taxis as opposed to a comfortable 10 minute journey with my husband. That makes a huge difference to my day. My incredible husband has truly been my rock in many big ways throughout out life but the thread is about the small, loving things that make a difference.
I think it's a nice, positive thread.

What a lovely man

As I said upthread, I think this thread may be sponsored by:

Absolutely not.

I am a middle aged woman who just happens to be married a very lovely man.

Obviously there are times where he does my bloody head in, and times where I am sure I do his in.

You'll probably sneer at me, but he is not only my husband but my best friend. Aside from our daughter, he's the person I want to spend time with.

I'm glad I'm married to a man who thinks "Lachy's had a bit of a shit day, I'll knock her up some cheese on toast so she can put her feet up, have a cuppa and stuff her face". It's the same as me thinking "hmm...sounds like Mr Lachy has had a shit day, I'll iron his shirts so he doesn't need to do it when he gets in"

Relationships need work, compromise and a little bit of magic, be that cheese on toast, making a bloody EPIC cup of tea, or filling the fridge with champagne.

And if you're doing a cats bum mouth reading that then go and be grumpy on another thread!

It absolutely is the little things. The fact my DH always gets up on Saturdays so I can lie in. He does the washing up and dishwasher, and brings me a cuppa in bed. It is so appreciated. He does the ironing on Sunday nights for the week.

Equally I let him have his hobby time on Saturday afternoons and Sunday mornings without guilt.

Give and take!

Great reply Op

Great reply Op

Thanks 😊

I guess some people just like to pick pick pick. Thankfully the majority of posters "got" my drift.

I still think my husband is better than all yours though
