Some husbands are actually nice people. Mine is a good guy because ...

.... fill in the blank! ..........................

We read so much on here about posters' DHs/partners who are awful for one reason or another - lazy, neglectful, messy, abusive, unfaithful - it's a long list of sins, and posters rightly vent on here and ask for advice on how to deal with things.

My DH is far from perfect (but then neither am I!), but yesterday he did something incredibly nice for me, relating to my passion for my hobby and my wish to acquire a new (expensive) bit of kit for said hobby. He has bought me the bit of kit: he didn't have to, I'm managing OK without it. I'm surprised, touched and over the moon. It was totally unexpected, and quite out of character for him to do something so generous and spontaneous. He said I needed a treat 😀

(Caveat ... no, he definitely is not having an affair, feeling guilty about anything or trying to curry favour in any way. It's not my birthday .....)

So, can anyone else tell us a story of their good guys, nice things partners have done out-of-the-blue, or generally try to convince us that some partners are actually decent human beings ?

My DF is a wonderful man cause he puts me front and center everyday. And me, him.

I am with you @MiaGain , it is nice to be able to post nice things , there is so much hate sometimes rightly so posted on here and other forums .
No one would bat a eye lid if some started a thread saying my DM/ DD/ DC did something nice for me , why cant we have one for DP/Hs

My DH on many occasions in the would runs a bath for me and put my dressing gown on the radiator in time for me getting home from work when he knew I would be cold and wet.
In the summer he would surprise me a work and bring some sandwiches and a drink and we would go to the local park / river / where ever to have lunch.
It got to the stage where we had a running joke that when ever we were out if we saw a bit of grass we would say Picnic size ? meaning is that big enough to have a picnic on but we got silly at times and we just point at bits of grass growing between paving stones , Picnic ? oohh yes ! perfect size .

He made me laugh

Because every year for our anniversary he has hand made me a rose out of the appropriate material for a present.

Because he is happy to be a stay at home Dad with two kids whilst I pursue my career.

Because he always tries hard with my family and is currently upstairs getting our baby and my baby niece down for a nap whilst I get some lunch.

Because he never gives me any reason to worry about him. I know all the passwords to his devices and when I want to borrow his phone or his laptop he never has any problem with me using them.

Someone mentioned above that their DH spoils them on high days and holidays. The most my EXDP ever got me was a reduced M&S fluffy robe and slippers hastily bought on Christmas Eve, while I'd done the full works for him and his DC (not mine). He never celebrated me at all.

I'm really glad to see a positive thread like this one. For those of us who have been through abusive or unloving relationships, it's great to see that these type of good men really do exist. I hope to meet one, one day, and look out for him in the same way he looks out for me.

He's 6"4 and I'm 5"2 and without him I wouldn't be able to reach anything.

Mine is amazing because he was my absolute rock when I was diagnosed with cancer in the first lockdown. When I was scared and frightened, he was the one who calmed me down. I had to have a major operation and I wasn't able to do anything for around a month. He did everything, including the more undignified things like helping me crawl upstairs and getting me in and out of the bath to use the shower.

Cancer has given me some nasty after effects which of late have certainly tested our relationship, but together we're working through them. I wouldn't want to have anyone else by my side. I luffs him.

I used to be married to the worst type of husband. I divorced him.
I then meet DH and discovered what it was like to be adored, put first and treated. Plus he loves, cares for and runs after my daughter like she was his own without ever trying to take her Dad's position.
He values the same things as me and that is actually the most important bit.
