To shout out how flippin' wonderful my husband is.....

[Sparklyblue]

Reading all these threads about knobhead husbands has really made me realise how bloody lucky I am.
When I was ill last month, I was tucked up in bed, while he looked after the kids downstairs. He would bring me drinks and anything I needed. This is the way it should be. I do the same for him when he is ill. It's called teamwork.
He takes me out, tells me I look lovely (even though i'm carrying a few extra pounds) We cooked christmas dinner together, cleared up together, I could go on. We love each other, why wouldn't we want to help each other.
I really hope relationships like mine are the norm.
All these shitty husbands, why do women put up with it?

[kittycat37]

Meh.....

YANBU OP, I guess.....

But I don't really subscribe to the theme of 'my DH is amazing' - sometimes mine is and sometimes he's crap, just like most human beings, myself included.

If you're happy a lot of the time, and it sounds like you are, then good for you.

[mslucy]

what a refreshing change to read a thread like this.
My husband is my best friend.
he is not perfect but neither am I.
he is a great dad and the ten years I have spent with him are the best years of my life.

[Sufi]

Lovely thread!

My DH is my best friend.
He ain't perfect but then neither am I and we accept each other, warts and all.
He's my own personal cheerleader - the 1st person in my life who's made me feel I can do and be all the things I want to be.
He tells me he loves me, that I'm a great mum, that I'm beautiful.
We share everything - housework, childcare, money.
He earns more than me but saves up and spends anything he has on the family and our future.
He's a bloody gent, he's clever and kind and witty.
He's a brilliant Dad.
I'm 32 wks pregnant and have really struggled throughout - & he's never once moaned, sorting out childcare, looking after me, just taking good care of me.

He is my second DH and tbh I never thought I'd meet someone like him. I have & I give thanks for my wonderful, imperfect, human, drives-me-mad-sometimes husband. Apart from my kids, he's the love of my life.

[Quiltingmoomin]

Have changed my mind... I got all soppy because of this thread and have now agreed to go w dH to the autosport show in brum agggghhh !!

[scarybiscuit]

mine is great too.....
he is my best friend and a good ole stick!

[maxpower]

YADNBU - I often tell myself off for not telling DH how fabulous he is and how much I love him. Neither of us are perfect and I could come up with a list of things that are guaranteed to drive me mad, but I do not know what I'd do without him.

[barelyutterly]

I waited a long time to find my DH. There were moments when I despaired that I would never find someone like him -- my perfect match.

But I kept telling myself I was worth it, so I kept waiting. And in the end I found he was well worth that wait.

I hope this thread encourages those out there like I was to hold out for what they deserve and not settle for second-best out of fear or panic. And those with far less-than-worthy DHs to realise that they deserve better. Life is too short to put up with idiots. Those other threads are just too depressing.

[Rowgtfc72]

My dp is not perfect,neither am I ,that would be boring!But he is a brilliant caring daddy to our three year old and I love him lots !

[SantasMadMissy]

YANBU I love mine and feel very lucky too

[MummyMyfanwy]

Wow - you sound very lucky! Sadly cannot say the same. Not sure why I put up with my crap. Perhaps its time fo a change.

[DullWomenHaveImmaculateHomes]

I'm not going to pretend my DH is perfect but I melt every time is see him with DD. He is SO smitten with her and he adores me for giving birth to her

[mummychicken]

My DH is also fab... now if he could just hang his coat on a hook instead of a chair he'd be perfect

[spongecakelover]

I love this thread. Now I'm feeling all warm and happy.

We've encountered a fair amount of shit over the years and he's been amazing. And before we were together life was pretty unkind to me and my brother and now he's in a fab relationship that brings him and his girlfriend a lot of happiness. Just goes to show, bad times pass as well as good, so go and give em all a big cuddle right now.

I'd go and give mine a hug except he's (finally) got some work and he's out at it. Aww.

[LauLauLemon]

My DH is absolutely amazing too. Sure, he has his faults like he can sometimes over discipline the children, he can be very loud and verbally aggressive during arguments (never physically but he's the only one who can make me see I'm in the wrong and back down in an argument) and he leaves the toilet seat up but everyone has faults and thankfully his good points far outweigh his bad points.

Our relationship is very equal. He is a full-time student studying to be an electrician so he's out all day four days a week while I stay home with our DD's. On the weekends we have his son from a previous relationship and we're a happy family. He doesn't expect me to cook every night although I like to do it for him, he always helps with the washing up when asked, he takes it upon himself to tidy DD's bedroom or pick up the vacuum and he does all the DIY in the house. He respects me and I respect him. He tells me he loves me every day without fail, he is very affectionate towards me and still finds me sexy even in mismatched pyjamas with my hair up and no make-up on. I love this about him.

He is a great father and my best friend. He is generally an all-round amazing person. He's hilarious, he's a great dancer and a great musician, he is a well of useless (and sometimes useful) knowledge and when I'm ill (like now) he puts me before himself. I do the same for him.

It makes me sad to see the posts here about DH's being complete tossers. This thread should give them hope.

[pranma]

Mine is wonderful-best friend,lover,partner and my rock when things are rough I am privileged to be married to a very special man.

[fledtoscotland]

a fantastic thread and YANBU.

I love my DH and think he is wonderful. Of course no-one is perfect (he is convinced we have a self-cleaning bathroom and self-emptying bins) but he does help round the house, is a brilliant dad with far more patience than me and my best friend. After nearly 14yrs I love him more than ever and with every thread I read about husband/partners/ex's behaving like shite, I thank my lucky stars I met my DH and promise myself I will never take him forgranted.

[whethergirl]

Hmmm....but it's not JUST about them being amazing though is it? My DP IS amazing in many ways, he is absoloutely great with my ds, he is romantic and thoughtful, always compliments me and adores me, always helps out with housework etc., loves to spoil me, affectionate, understanding about everything including PMT, etc etc. ....but for some reason, I don't think I'm in love with him . I'm pretty sure there must be something wrong with me.

[Cleofartra]

My dh is brilliant on all fronts: wonderful husband, great dad, great brother, wonderful son, fantastic friend. So hard working and really dry sense of humour. I am so, so lucky.

Big cock too.

What more could I ask for?

[ToffeeChristmascake]

My DH is incredibly funny, intelligent and an absolute rock when times are hard. He is as in love with our boys as I am. Amazingly, he still seems to find me just as attractive as he did when we first met . Occasionally, he can be a complete arse and I usually let him know exactly what I think of him at these times. We often argue (I am suspicious of couples who don't), but I still love him very, very much.

It will be our 25th anniversary together this summer. We are incredibly lucky.

[Gonzo33]

My husband (second attempt) is fantastic. Always does the washing up when he is home, is a really good Dad, takes care of me when I am ill. Thinks the world of the kids (even his stepson), and makes sure we have everything we need by working hard.

Cannot fault him.

[Ray81]

My DH is fab too. He had a bit of a wobble for a while about a yr ago (bit like a midlife crisis). He never made excuses for himself admitted he was a twat should not have done what he did (not affair btw) he has done sooo much to make up for being like that anf promised he would never ever risk losing me again.


We share all the household chores even though i dont work, he does all the cooking he even did christmas dinner bless him, he works so hard to provide for us. He loves the DDs to bit and treats them both exactly the same even though he is SD to DD1.

I feel so lucky to have him and he of course is lucky to have me

[Oblomov]

Dh is a star. Sometimes he gets right on my nerves. But generally, I don't know how he puts up with me.
We have had a major shit couple of years. Big things going wrong, partly out of our control, and he just 'copes'.
He is the best thing thta ever happened to me.

[hollynivy]

Mine is fab too, fantastic dad, great around house, reliable, with great sense of humour, v clever but not perfect.

I would give him a hug but he wouldnt like it, thanks to a real crap childhood he struggles with intimacy. We love each other tons tho and he shows he loves me and our dc in practical ways every day.
