To ask you to please tell me something good, preferably about your DP

[BlingLoving]

I have clearly spent too much time on MN today and seem to have only clicked on threads about twattish men who are at best thoughtless and selfish, at worst abusive. So please tell me something good and remind me that obviously we see the worst on MN because 99% of the time we don't come on here to talk about the good stuff.

I'll start by saying that DH has sorted out a number of house/home related issues this week without me having to even think about them. He does this as normal actually, but in light of today's threads, I'm particularly grateful!

I get up first in our household and every morning DH has set up the coffee machine on the timer so when I come down I have a cup of coffee ready, I cannot tell you how much I love him for doing this!!

DH is currently lying on the floor while DD climbs on him and goes down the 'daddy slide'. He's been out at work all day but he always comes home full of energy to play and spend time with her (and means I can slope off to get some peace and quiet upstairs for a bit ).

Dh loves cooking and does most of it in our house, his roasts are legendary! And he tells me he loves me every single day

He does pretty much all the cooking and meal planning. He would do just about anything to make me or the DC happy. He's really good in bed

Just remember people don’t post good things about their oh people only post when they are having problems anyone who posted “my dh is so great” would be told they were gloating so you are going to read more negative things

OH defrosted both the freezers and cleaned out the cupboard under the stairs at the weekend all of his own accord.

My DP lost most of his income during the pandemic. Right now he's going to school to retrain in a new career during the mornings, working nights, and caring for his 15 year old son full-time because his son's mother has decided to tap out.

But even with all that going on, he makes time to spend with me and let me know he's always thinking of me. Like yesterday evening I got a surprise dinner delivery from my favourite restaurant because he knew I was working hard on a big project and wouldn't have time to cook.

Whenever I tell him how proud I am of what he's doing, or how well he's tackling these big things in our lives, he shrugs and tells me "I'm trying".

And he really is, always.

He is a Good Man, and I feel very lucky to know him.

I know. That's why I need this thread. To remind me of that!

Mine gave me a seriously mind blowing orgasm at lunchtime. Work from home silver linings.

And he does the bins.

DH and I will have been married 25 years this year. He has been my biggest cheerleader in that time, when I had a big accident he dressed me and did my hair everyday for months, always been a massive support, and does little things like a surprise change of sheets (I love my bed) and a hot water bottle in the bed or delivering a bacon sandwich to me when I have a lie in.
Don't tell him, but he is incredible and I'm very lucky to have him on my side

Mine is off work sick today but has been bringing me in hot water bottles and cups of tea each time he gets up because he knows the room I'm working in gets cold and I've been really busy. He's lovely.

My DH is WONDERFUL! I am now 62 but became disabled after an accident 22 years ago. He is always there for me, makes me numerous hot water bottles everyday, just because he knows they ease the pain. He cooks for me, and is always on hand for any tiny thing that I might need help with. I feel so blessed and grateful to have married such a wonderful man, and feel guilty that at times that there are things that he hasn't done which I know he would have enjoyed, simply because he doesn't want me to be alone, and he would worry the whole time he was gone. I have begged him to go and enjoy himself, but he says he loves me too much and would rather be with me. I really hope that at least some of you are as happy in your relationship as I am.

My DH is very supportive of me having some time off. I am suffering fron pnd and was supposed to be going to spend a few days with my mum. She sadly has covid and he has spent the whole day coming up with alternatives are he know's how desperately I need a break from my kids, well the 1 year old.

He has his faults but is one of the good ones.

I knew my partner (now husband) was a keeper when he offered to help me put lotion on my scalp psoriasis and did it every day till it cleared up. He also did an amazing job with my Christmas present, I saw a painting I liked in a hotel we went to last May (it was on sale) it was there when we went back in august and he managed, with the help of my teenage son, to buy it and smuggle it home and keep a secret until Christmas Day. It was even me that packed the car to come home so goodness knows how they did it

Mine is amazing. Does all the cooking as he gets home from work before I finish (even thought I work from home) and for the most part cleans the kitchen too. He is a kind, lovely, gentle man.

Dp has been our rock.

Mum died in December, the funeral was between Christmas and New year. He cancelled all his plans. Made himself available for me, dad and my kids.

Everytime, he has known the right gesture or quiet word. On Christmas Day he was amazing. Handling the odd tear with calmness and kindness. Dad has a cry in the back garden. Dp just stood with him. Didn't say anything just stood and dad was so touched. He said he didn't eat to talk but didnr want to be alone either and dp really helped him.

My kids are 17 and 10. But the first night after she died, he sat up all night to listen if any of us had nightmare or the kids needed something, just so I could get a bit of sleep.

He has continued to support us in every way. And when we all have said thank you he looks baffled and insists he isn't doing anything above what he should.

I genuinely, don't think I would have survived the last 5 weeks without him.

I've had a herniated disc in my neck since Christmas Eve.

My brilliant husband has taken on everything since, all housework, child related stuff, ferrying me to hospital, running around getting medication, and has also paid £300 so I can have a private MRI scan.

He's also been working full-time, except Christmas Day and Boxing Day, and sleeping on the sofa so I can have the bed to myself. He hasn't complained once.

He's bloody amazing

I had a bit of a meltdown the other day (v. v. rare for me) and he stood, listened, didn't try to make suggestions or interrupt and when I told him he was 'fu**king out of order' too, he nodded and apologised (he hadn't done much wrong bless him). He then made me a drink. He's wonderful.

he's in my super good books for these things today:

took bike out of my car & put it in garage
Helped me with tax self-assessment
Helped me with SQL server (getting no support from work)
Will cook tea (always does)

Dh works a 12 hour nightshift, gets me a newspaper on his way home, makes lunchboxes, bring me a cuppa and gets dd dressed. He is a diamond.

Mine is just an absolute delight. I make his dinner every day for when he gets home. Nothing special, today is ham, egg and chips but he goes on about it like I'm an award winning chef or something. He ALWAYS makes me a brew. He always sees that I finish first. He hands over money whenever I ask and smilingly goes along with whatever I say. He's a great dad and an amazing granddad. Best thing though is he always, every single year, buys me the very first bunch of daffodils he sees and a bag of popcorn . This goes back to when wet first met and both absurdly Broke students. Daffodils and popcorn is what he bought me on our first movie date. And we still do it every year.

I have got a new phone and DP is helping me sort transferring data and photos because I am tired and have read too many manuals lately.

My DH is just lovely, perfect for me but not perfect.

Didn't bat an eyelid when I said I wanted to go the University in my 30's.

Didn't miss a best when I went self-employed even though my income is no longer secure.

Didn't even laugh when I bought a second emergency food warmer before Christmas.

Looks at me like I'm the most beautiful person in the world every day.

Does all the hoovering and floor washing.

DH is so wonderfully supportive, kind, thoughtful, and generous. There's nothing he wouldn't do for me or my family.

I love him to bits.
