To love my husband?

He isn't perfect. I probably do more "wifework" than I should. He's sometimes a bit pester-y for sex. He drinks a bit too much. He's the most self centred creature I've ever met. He swears and is a huffy bastard.
But he lets me use him as decompression when I've had a bad day. He loves all the many (many) animals I've filled the house with. He's never pressured me for kids. He moved to a different country just for me. I've never once doubted that he loves me.
So many posts I read could be written by me about him on a bad day. So many advising LTB. AIBU to love the bastard?

Is posting about loving your husband the 2020 version of lurching up to him and "I love you, darlin', I blurry do!".

If he's that good he'll be bringing you a glass of water and some Neurofen in about an hour.
Followed by a bacon sandwich if it'll stay down.

I think if you really just wanted to "poke the hornets nest" and criticise people who have been through crap times and generally post to give opinions based on experience, you're probably not as happy as you like to think you are. I remember going through a long phase of telling myself about my ex's good points. (He might be moody, critical and sweary BUT he cooks fantastic dinners/ doesn't go out and get drunk much/ can be funny and caring) I think if you're genuinely happy, you don't really need to do that. Most people know life and people aren't perfect, but lots of us end up realising kindness and respect are the most important qualities in friends and partners.

I am a one woman minefield of crap.

OP you say you don't have self esteem issues?

Who talks of themselves like this?

The LTB messages are for the women who are being made really unhappy by their crap husband’s lazy and mean behaviour, not those who weirdly but honestly don’t mind it. You crack on.

You don't have kids...but if you had a daughter and would be happy she was marrying a carbon copy of your DH then that's your answer.
