Positive Thread About DH’s/DP’s

13 replies

CurryLover55 · 27/09/2021 16:19

I read a lot on here about pretty useless men so thought I would start a positive thread! DH isn’t perfect & drives me up the wall sometimes but I couldn’t imagine life without him. He makes me laugh every day, sometimes to the point of pain. He can’t keep his hands off me, even though I have piled on a load of weight. I love how he tries so hard with DD12, even though she’s often horrible to him, and how soppy he is with our rabbits. He’s a great cook & bakes amazing bread. I’m never bored with him. He’s not the most romantic but shows his love in lots of little ways. Join in!

Ah ok
My husband is lovely. We’re very close and we have lots of fun together. He totally adores me as well. We’re very happy staying in doing a puzzle, playing a game or going out for dinners.

Anyone else out there?

Me! I’m not saying DH is perfect either, and he has his foibles just like I do. But he is very easygoing and interesting. He’s also extremely knowledgeable about so many things, has lived a full life, and I love him!

Yes, love mine to bits even when he’s being annoying! Could not be without him and hope we grow old together.

Feel very sad and a bit bemused about how many seemingly bitter women there are on this site, the man bashing and hating is really quite depressing!

My partner and I have only been together a year - both widowed previously.

He painted me a little picture of the place we had our first kiss, with tiny little figures of us in it. And turned it into an anniversary card.

Me!

Me and my DP have a right laugh when we are together whether it be staying in or going out, we share the work load, book lots of nice trips/days out together in our kid free time, works hard and shows me his love in lots of different ways - big or little gesturesSmile

He is my best friend and like you OP I am never bored with him.

My DH has been my rock through every mental health crisis I've had as an adult. He paid for my private Autism diagnosis, helps me brush up my cv, helps me apply for PIP, brings me tea in bed most mornings, cooks because I can't plan a meal and doesn't complain when I am behind with the house work (which I don't let him do because I think he does more than enough already) due to mental or physical illnesses.

Even when I have just woken up and look like Ken Dodd on a bad hair day, he still puts his arm around me and says "you're beautiful."

Sadly my dh is feeling rubbish today... But he managed to tell me and ask for some help. He has suspected adhd but GP basically told him to Man Up and get on with things... He is a very kind man who gets things wrong not of his own doing....
He bought me some walking shoes for our coming up trip. And a jumper to match!!.
Not quite my style but bought with much love and thought...

I've got a good one too.

Proper romantic, makes little thoughtful gestures, makes sure I know he's thinking of me even when he is occupied with his own personal commitments.

When I first started dating him, before he left for the evening he used to wait until I was ready for bed to make me a hot water bottle and bring it up making sure I was tucked in bed before he left 😂

A few years later he still fetches my hot water bottle for me, even if it's in the middle of the night and he has to get out of (now) our bed to make it

DP keeps me sane amidst the chaos. He keeps me on the straight and narrow.

He gives me tips on how to improve my life and although I grit my teeth at the time, deep down I know he means well and that he’s just looking out for me.

He will do little things to make life easier for me.

He lets me know his plans ahead of time and doesn’t just throw things on me last min.

If he is out he’ll check in with me just to make sure our devilish toddler isn’t driving me mad.

He is a neat and tidy person.

He always takes the bins out.

He always takes the dirty nappies out.

He doesn’t mind doing nappies as he knows I hate doing them.

He gives the toddler a bath as it’s not my favourite task due to bending over.

I pretty much haven’t had to make lunch or dinner since my baby was born nearly 7 months ago! Husband is working from home and I’m on maternity leave - he insists on making my meals as he knows how busy looking after the baby!! It’s so nice to not have to worry about what I’m gonna eat! 😂

Im co sleeping out of desperation at the moment too and he comes in while im settling the baby and ensures my water bottle is filled and I have my phone charger and everything I need all set up for the night before he goes to bed in the spare room !
