My hero

[leggere]

To ask what has your dh/dp done to make you think "My Hero"? Dh has done a few, one of them was to manoeuvre a large armchair from the lounge up the stairs (on his own) to the bedroom, so that I could just slip out of bed and breastfeed in comfort. I had a bad back and couldn't get comfy in bed. Couldn't believe it when I saw the armchair coming through the bedroom door!

@jammiebammie He sounds like a wonderful man, one of the good guys.

Has made me laugh when I've been feeling a bit sorry for myself and have been feeling a bit pissed off with him not taking this seriously but he has cheered me up tonight

Takes days off work to help me when I’m ill- so when my disability is being a wanker and lots of pain.

Puts my dc to bed as above when I’m in pain

Drives me to all my appointments and holds my hand through the pain

Makes sure that our rare date nights are absolutely amazing and all about making us feel like us.

I have an absolute gem. I love him so much 💙

Oh! And he’s physically lifted me and bathed me when I can’t do it. As embarrassing as it is to say, he makes it not.

Oh and he’s redecorating for me because he wants my home to be amazing and easy for me to relax in- we don’t live together

When I got rushed into hospital with a strangulated hernia when DS was three months old, DD was 15 months old and my DD1 was 11, he just cracked on with life. He was involved in their lives, he knew their routines, he did not need lists or instructions! Yes he worked but when he was not in work, we parented together!

Now, I am disabled, he does all the shopping. He does not need lists, he works out what is needed!

He's done many many things over the years. The first was.. When I lost both my shoes at a gig, when we were first dating. He gave me his shoes to wear to walk back to our hotel. He walked in his socks, in the rain..for more than a mile.. plus we detoured to get something to eat because I was hungry 😍

Loving all these hero stories. Trying not to sound too cheesy, but aren't we all lucky to have 'em?

It’s lovely to read of partners helping when we’re disabled too, some good ‘uns out there!
I was honestly so worried about our relationship dynamic changing when dh became my carer but I didn’t need to, hes been amazing.
I often wonder what it would be like if it was the other way around, really not sure I’d cope so well - dh bugs me when he has a cold

DH pushed me out of the way when he saw a firework in a glass milk bottle beside where we were walking. Some kids had been giggling and ran away and he noticed what they'd done. He still has a scar on his finger from the glass.

Another hero Flavia, and your's has the scar to prove it! Think how bad that could have been if he hadn't pushed you out of the way! Mine once pushed me off the road onto the kerb when a speeding car raced towards us. I fell onto the pavement but dh was still on the road, idiot driver just missed him!

I know, we were just dating at that point and from then I knew he was a good one

Yikes, I'm glad you were both unhurt leggere it's a good instinct for us but worrying too at times!

He supports me in every sense now that I can no longer work due to disability. I couldn't ask for anyone better.

They're the unsung heroes, aren't they Bramble? The Carers who stay home and lovingly care for partners/relatives for a ridiculously small benefit. Glad you have him

For being a absolute darling, but, annoying the hell out of me

Tonight DH foraged through the kitchen bin then the outside bins to find my new tube of moisturiser I'd lost.

I found it later in my bag.

He didn't mind.

❤️

Fourfucks yes, besides being a hero, my dh can be bloody irritating, still love him though. IAmMatty, yep I've done that a few times too. Good job they don't mind!

I'm partially paralysed, I wanted to walk to a waterfall with my 4 children on one of your first 'dates', I refused my wheelchair stubbornly saying I could make it......not only did he not say I told you so when I clearly couldn't, but he carried me all the way back to the car and somehow kept all 4 of my children alive whilst he did so. Then we sat and laughed about it.
He also once cleaned my entire house when I was out with my children and having a bad day, he cooked dinner then when we got home left us to it without me needing to say a word because he knew my daughter needed me to herself that evening and never once complained, just called later to see how my dd was-Pretty sure I fell in love with him that day.

Omg, Lady, what a lovely man! A knight in shining armour (without the horse) You're a hero(ine) too, managing 4 dc as you do.

I wrote my car off by aquaplaning with OH and my two DC in the car, he climbed out the window, got both kids out, and then pulled me out of the wrecked car.

He then called my parents to meet us at the hospital because I couldn't speak from shock.

He also took the kids to school each day until I was brave enough to drive again and had sorted out a replacement car, even though we didn't live together at the time.

Thankfully we were all fine and very minor injuries in comparison to the seriousness of the accident.

Lady you and your DH both sound awesome

How on earth did that happen Queenie8? (if you don't mind me asking)

I like how the OP says no one on mn has anything nice to say about men but calls her dp a “hero” for moving some furniture 😂 pat him on the head OP

Going NC with his mother after her dreadful behaviour! Was so manly of him to stick up for me, especially as she was mega controlling and it was hard for him to break the cycle.

Otherwise, that he does my feet every weekend like a champ.

What a lovely thread!

No Lolita, you don't understand, he's not a dog!! He is a hero!

Do you know what willynilly, my dh is failing me a bit there. He will rub my feet if I ask a few times, but doesn't like it and does it as quickly as possible!
