Unequivocally yes - he's cleaning down the kitchen as we speak after spending his Friday evening making a lasagne for our friend who has just come out of hospital (prior to which he made a thai curry from scratch for our dinner).

What's not to love?

2shoes · 02/09/2011 22:55

yes
always

shelfy74 · 02/09/2011 22:57

No. This thread makes me :(

My story is v. Mills and Boon and my dh is my knight in shining armour. I have only ever loved one man: dh and there is no one else. He is a dream come true and I am his. We've been married 14 years and he's the most handsome man I've ever met.

Usual :o

Innocent- I sometimes feel sad tha he isn't the love.. a lot of people do have that kind of relationship but as they say, there are different kinds of love and it's good enough!

Initially I didn't think he was, although he was lovely.

Now, having been through good times and the truly awful I would say most definately yes.

Serenitysutton · 02/09/2011 23:05

Yes, of my life si far. I don't believe In the one, I could equally love many men I'm sure. Maybe some even more. But he's my one so far

Hopefully · 02/09/2011 23:05

Yup.

And he started out as a one-night-stand to get over a crappy ex. Apparently we are not good at one night stands.

Awomancalledhorse · 02/09/2011 23:06

He is. I just wish he wouldn't snore.
The other loves of my life are my football team & pet rabbits; I don't spend intimate time with the players so couldn't tell you if they snored, and rabbit snores are cute; DH is third in the league of loves of my life on this basis Grin.

magicmelons · 02/09/2011 23:07

Yes, sometimes i wake up before him and just stare at him, he is very beautiful in a manly way. At first i didn't think he was having come out of a very passionate/bad relationship that was all thunderbolts and butterflies. Dh was a slow burner but he's perfect for me.

I make myself want to puke, sorry.

AWomancalledhorse! Ughh the snoring.. that is one of the reasons why he's not mine...
Magic- I felt like that with a past love of life but he was a butterfly/ thunderbolt love.

No. But he's Mr Right.

GeneralCustardsHardHat · 02/09/2011 23:33

No. I've settled for a good man but he's not my one I feel like I've borrowed him from someone.

The longer we're together the more I dont want it to last. But I don't know if that's because he's said some bloody hurtful stuff to me lately or not

HummelBoy · 02/09/2011 23:41

Not by a country mile.
But I traded security, for passion and now I regret it.

I feel like I've borrowed him from someone.
I asked MiL if she would have him back once - jokingly sort of she thought I was serious, was truly horrified and said no :( :o

Oh dear, I'm looking at him sleeping and now I'm wondering...

AfternoonDelight · 02/09/2011 23:45

Absolutely 100%. I've never met anyone like him before, he's the only person (including my family) that truly understand me.

Plus he's bloody gorgeous! Grin

Do you have a curry snorer next to you though, like mine ?

Gay40 · 02/09/2011 23:51

Someone else said it. Heaven forbid that one of us should drop down dead, but in that case I know the one who was left would eventually find another "one" and that would be fine.
I don't mean "the one right now", just that I don't believe in 6 million people there's only one person out there in an entire lifetime.

pixielicious · 02/09/2011 23:53

Absolutely 100%. There is no one quite like my DP (who will hopefully become my DH in a few years when we are a bit older!), he always knows how to make me feel special and loved, he's such a happy and enthusiastic person, and I just can't imagine anyone more perfect! He is my whole world!

BabyDubsEverywhere · 02/09/2011 23:53

Ive loved a few (lot!) before DH. But my gosh i adore my man a million sqillions times YES!

I fancy him, i depend on him, hes stable and constant, he is supportive and has never faultered, hes a wonderful father, i respect him and he respects me, he loves me. I love him. I cant bare to even think of life without him.

But dont tell him that Wink Grin

brickingit · 02/09/2011 23:59

Several DCs later, I no longer rip at his clothes & demand he takes me there & then - for a start, DCs would all say "GROSS!!".

I'm used to him, he's used to me; we're comfortable together & we manage the DCs pretty well together. Maybe in 10 years, we'll have time for each other.

Meanwhile, to quote the Tina Turner, "What's Love Got To Do With It?"
