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! Grin

My DH adore the ground I walk on and makes me a flat white every morning before i get up . He also , despite working twice my hours , really pulls his weight at home .

An ex has maintained a relationship with my DC from childhood despite not being their biological parent.

He, and his current long term partner, have been wonderful.

(341 there: male being respectful and caring, ‘step’ parent continuing relationship and new partner supporting that)

Good thread Bling it is nice to be reminded of the good, that’s as much part of support as recognising and managing the bad Flowers

Whatafustercluck · 06/01/2022 19:30

He makes me a cup of tea every morning.

He's made the kids' sandwiches for tomorrow and sorted out the washing.

He tells me regularly the things he loves about me and argues with me when I talk about my faults Grin

My DH does all the laundry / washing and he's an amazing Dad. Full of love and energy for our DC. I'm currently pregnant and have been really poorly throughout pregnancy and he's been amazing and caring and done so much for me and DC. He works full time too

BeMoreGoldfish · 06/01/2022 19:33

My DH is an absolutely wonderful man - a fantastic husband, father, son, brother and friend. He’s just adorable 🥰.

I feel so sad when I read these threads. I wish more men were like my dh - the world would be a much better place 🤩.

BeMoreGoldfish · 06/01/2022 19:33

Not this thread! I mean the bad threads! Shock

89redballoons · 06/01/2022 19:34

My lovely DH is currently giving our two year old a bath, and after that while I put said two year old to bed he's going to make homemade pizza for our dinner.

Also, his Christmas present to me was a night in a 5* hotel in February and today I booked annual leave for it so he's just arranged childcare and booked us a restaurant.

Also, I'm 28 weeks pregnant and he's as cuddly and affectionate as always. And, in my opinion, is gorgeous.

He's just so thoughtful and hardworking, and shows and tells DS and me every day how much he loves us. He is wonderful and I am super lucky.

My husband tells me he lives me every day. He does all the cooking. If he is working lates he asks me what I would like to eat and then does the food shopping accordingly, checking I have something to eat when he is working.accounts
He also does his mum's shopping.
He is going round to my daughter's boyfriends house to help him with the wiring.

Whatelsecouldibecalled · 06/01/2022 19:35

He has my back. Completely. 100%. We are a great team.

Onlinedilema · 06/01/2022 19:36

Loves me- auto correct 😠😠

BookFiend4Life · 06/01/2022 19:37

My husband worked from home this morning due to weather and every time he finished a work task he came out and played with our daughter for a minute or picked her up and cuddled her. Before he left for work he asked if there was anything he could do to make my life easier!

Also he does the laundry which is my least favorite chore!

89redballoons · 06/01/2022 19:38

@ofwarren

He donated a section of his liver to our son for a liver transplant when he was 6 months old and had 2 weeks left to live. The risk of death for the donor is 1 in 200. Our son survived and is now 7.
This is so amazing. What a great father and man.
scarpa · 06/01/2022 19:40

He is the funniest, cleverest man I've ever met. He found, bought and restored me my dream mid-century dressing table. He runs me a bath, lights candles, and makes me my favourite meal whenever I look remotely stressed. He can do ANYTHING in Excel. He is so committed to improving himself after trauma. He is the most selfless sexual partner I've ever had. He fancies me when I'm in joggers and a ripped t-shirt...
I fucking love him

justwondering21 · 06/01/2022 19:40

My Mum died last year after Christmas.

Our house was still in a mess from Christmas and from my Mum being in hospital.
The day I was at the hospital with my Mum my husband was home with our children.
I came into the house and my husband had tidied the whole house and lit a huge candle 🕯

I'll never forget how nice and calm and tidy the house was (don't think it's ever been so tidy since)

He said I know I couldn't do a lot for you today but I could do this.

Although it was the saddest day I'll never forget coming in to the candle and tidy house.

Benjispruce5 · 06/01/2022 19:42

He’s lush, even after 25 years of marriage. Kind, caring, patient and I still fancy him. Star

FabulousFlamingo · 06/01/2022 19:43

He does all the cooking. He tells me he loves me every day. He gives me foot massages whilst we are watching TV. He loves a clean and tidy house as much as I do Smile

afizzysweet · 06/01/2022 19:46

He is a great dad.
He is supportive of my goals and backs me 100% when I want to do something.
He takes over with DC when my health condition is bad so that I can rest

BoodleBug51 · 06/01/2022 19:51

He's really grown into being a parent. He wasn't that great when our DC were small, but now they're adults, he's really close to them and in fact is often far more relaxed about things than I am.
He's helped loads with my Dad, including financially, and guarantored a tenancy for him when Dad was about to be made homeless.
He cleans my car for me.
He sobbed when our grandchildren were born.
He's generous...... for Christmas I had a lush cashmere dressing gown that I chose, and he bought me a new pair of Dubarry boots as a surprise.
He's the biggest twit known to man at times, but he's my twit.

flowersforbrains · 06/01/2022 19:55

I was thinking this recently.

I could go on and on about my DH because he is truly wonderful. He opens and closes the car door for me like my own personal chauffer!

Highfivemum · 06/01/2022 20:01

DH came into the cold sea yesterday as I slipped on a rock and on a walk and fell in. I sat laughing but was freezing and in him came and got soaked picking me up. He was in a worse state than me when we got home.

specialsauce · 06/01/2022 20:03

Almost every week mine goes to tesco's at 7.30 and gets some marked down flowers for me. Thrifty, thoughtful and romantic - just my cup of tea! He takes on board anything and is constantly striving to be a better partner, dad and human. He's also sponataneous, sexy and completely unreserved which keeps life fun and interesting!

Daisychainsandglitter · 06/01/2022 20:05

My DH does an equal share of the chores in our relationship. I'm currently unable to do any shopping, school or nursery runs as I have covid and he has done all of this whilst working without complaint.
I do moan about him but he is actually a good un!

Ispini · 06/01/2022 20:05

Mine makes my breakfast and lunch everyday, brings me coffee at 6.30 as I try to defrost for the day. He’s a great Dad, does the shopping regularly and I don’t think I’ve vacuumed in five years after I ranted one day about how much I hated it.
We’ve been married for over twenty years and he’s a legend, always tells me he loves me.
I feel so sad when I read about what some women have to put up with on MN, I simply don’t understand it. If you love someone they should treat you with respect. I know abuse can creep up on some people but there a4e some posters that tolerate too much.

Duckington · 06/01/2022 20:09

@Kayjay2018 just out of interest, which lotion did you have for your scalp psoriasis? Mine is badly flared up at the moment and I can’t seem to get on top of it
