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've got a running away fund. He knows about it. He has the bank details. He once looked over my shoulder while I was checking it, said, "God, you'll never escape me on that amount" and went and put £100 in it.

He might just be trying to get rid of me, of course, but he tells me every day that he loves me so he's stuck with me, really.

My dh does all the cooking, makes work lunches and his supporting me in lots of ways as i am a student teacher.

My DH tells me he loves me every day. He does loads around the house and always asks my opinion.
He asks what I'd like to do, where to go, what to watch .
He's a great dad and a wonderful partner.
Lovely man and I'm so happy to be his wife.
Nearly 32 years!

In the winter my OH gets up early, to defrost my car before I go to work, he does most of the cooking and washing up, plus large amount of tidying/cleaning, always does the bins, he is super chilled with my stroppy teen and did all the home schooling last year. He in return gets to live with disorganised me who works way too much and my untidy stress ball of a teen!!

Mine is an absolute diamond and I love him so much. It took 25 years for us to get together and it’s our 4 year ‘anniversary’ I’m a couple of weeks. We don’t live together as we both have children from previous marriages so it would t be right just yet, but it lis in our future. He’s the kindest, funniest, most caring, gentle, clever man I know. And luckily for me he thinks I’m the bees knees. Nothing is too much trouble for him, he never gives me any hassle or upset and literally just improves every aspect of my life.

He’s currently supporting me through a breast cancer diagnosis and treatment and I couldn’t manage without him. I’m feeling awful sometimes, I’m anxious, snappy, irritable… and he’s just quietly here, doing what needs to be done, making me cups of tea, sending me to bed, holding me when I cry and making me laugh when I’m well.

I’m looking absolutely terrible at the moment (steroids, chemotherapy, lack of sleep) amd my Christmas present from him had a tag that said “to my beautiful TwoNoisyBoys…” it made me cry my eyes out, amd meant more than the present! (Which was a beautiful necklace btw)

I love him so much ❤️

He constantly tells me he loves me and that I'm beautiful. He helps me out no end with my DS (who isn't his). He cooks dinner most of the time when he's here. He rings me from the shop to make sure he gets the right things. He buys me flowers just because. He makes me endless cups of tea. He gives the best hugs!

My DP cooks with so much love and passion and can spend hours in the kitchen, his food is amazing. Yet he equally appreciates my thrown together 30min meals when it's my turn!

Mine has always been great at getting up to do night feeds when the kids were babies, settling them after nightmares etc. He knows I don't cope well with broken sleep and has always been so good about it.

(Sorry for typos, Thursdays are chemo days and I have a bit of brain fog!)!

I have had an awful day at work and he has constantly kept me supplied with hot drinks.

He even got me a tea from McDonald's (this is not as bad as it seems - he got one as he's ferrying the kids around so I don't have to and wanted to grab something, he didn't want to not get me anything BUT knows I'm trying to eat healthier. So a lot of thought bless him).

Mine warms my side of the bed every night and then has to roll onto his cold side when I get in.

He cooks me breakfast at the weekend, he's so good with my two dc

But most importantly he's always so happy and smiley. He wakes up smiling every day and tells me he loves me.

He's the hardest working man I have ever come across (only had Xmas day and New Year's Day off) but he still pulls his weight in the house and is so appreciative of everything I do.

I'm a very lucky wife!

DH is very kind. He is retired, and doesn't need to get out of bed early - but every morning he gets up at 6.30am so he can make my breakfast, pack me up lunch and a coffee and start/defrost my car so it's warm for me to get in. I go to work for 7am.

I love him lots. Were it the other way round I'd be having a lie in.

DH is wonderful. Does small things to make me and our baby smile. He is an amazing daddy to our 10 month old son. This morning he woke up early, de-iced the car for us and put the heating on so that we could just get in and go.

Lovely to hear lots of DP’s doing great things.

Mine is lovely, he doesn't do anything outstanding, he brings peace, harmony and contentment to my life, oh and the odd cup of tea.

Love this idea for a thread OP, so nice to hear some positivity!

My husband can drive me mad at times but he is my rock and my best friend. He makes me laugh all the time, we have such fun together and the same goals for life. He is incredibly driven and hardworking and I'm so proud of him. I feel very lucky to have him!

Until of course he leaves his washing on the floor next to the basket etc

My dh is such a kind and thoughtful person

He gets up every morning, does the dishwasher and brings me a cuppa in bed. He got extra logs in for me this afternoon so I didn't have to go outside in the cold when the fire was lit, he put my dds wardrobe up today, on his day off as she's all excited about her newly decorated room and has fetched me wine as I'm 'puppied in' (dogs are asleep on my legs). He's now snoring away with his hand on my lap

My OH just got a free second hand gazebo which will be perfect for our garden wedding!! Have wanted one for ages.

I've been with my husband for 25 years, since our teens
He isn't very romantic and isn't into big gestures but he is my absolute world. I've grown up with him. Even from very early on we saw each other all the time. We do everything together. I know that's a bit frowned upon and it's not controlling in any way shape or form. The point is whenever I want to do something or go somewhere or visit somewhere new, he is the person I'd want to go with, and the kids lol as we never have anyone to have them!
I trust him a million percent. He's my world and I'm his

DH makes me a hot water bottle every single night. He also is very patient with my “I’ve been thinking…” though it always means more work for him 😁. He never has a lie-in, ever, but chooses to get up simply to spend as much time as he can with me and the children. He happily shows the world he’s proud with frumpy old me, and I love him.

DH has just booked the most amazing theatre show for my birthday.

I didn't even know it was showing,

It's a new show in Brighton, based on Fatal Attraction which is one of my favourite films.

He's also a great cook and is currently looking after me as I've got a dreadful stomach bug.

He does the washing up and puts the recycling out. He was ill this week so I had to do it. For the first time in my life.

My Dh always tells me I’m beautiful when I clearly look shit (pregnant mum of ds3)

@AlDanvers

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'm so sorry for your loss. Your DP sounds such a lovely person. We are going thru similar situation ATM with my mum and my DH has been bloody amazing too. Even though everything right now is tinged with sadness and life has lost its sparkle right now, aren't we lucky to have partners such as these. Sending condolences to you all 🙏 x

On the (few) occasions I have dinged a car his first reaction is 'are you ok?' He never criticises me or blames me even when it's been entirely my fault.

Over our years together he has probably earned about 95% of our family income (I was a SAHM for many years and am now retired while he still works). He has never once begrudged me spending money on treats for myself. He is firmly of the opinion that all money is 'our money' regardless of who has earned it.

He is quite senior in his industry and has a reputation for being very proper and dour but at home with me he is funny and silly and makes me laugh every day.

Mine DP has the kindest eyes I’ve ever looked in to, and the personality to match. I could write a novel about how lucky I am, and I take him for granted sometimes, which is something I need to work on.
