Me and my partner have had lots of ups and downs lately so I wanted to share some of the amazing things that make me love him so much! Let's start an appreciation thread for our partners as I know it's not always sunshine and rainbows.

  1. the little jokes and moments we have that no one else would u fees tans

  2. the way he believes in everything I do and supports me wholeheartedly

  3. the way he loves me despite all my flaws (he even loves my belly rolls?!)

Let's hear some of yours ❤️

  1. he is the kindest person I know, but without being a pushover at all.
  2. he is an amazing daddy, the kids come before himself always.
  3. he makes me laugh every day. I have a tendency to be anxious and fret which he totally gets but manages to make me lighten up without making me feel daft or undermined.

He also snores and puts the dishes on the counter above the dishwasher but not in it Grin I still feel lucky every day

Stompythedinosaur · 09/02/2020 20:17
  1. He loves the dc as much as I do. He would abandon me to be eaten by wolves while he saved the dc (I would do the same).

  2. He does half the housework and childcare.

  3. Nice arse.

stormslushy · 09/02/2020 20:19

Awww these are nice.

Hahahah @Stompythedinosaur mine has a good arse too 😂 arguably better than mine..

His hairy chest

His huge arms that hug me and make me feel that nothing can ever hurt me.

He absolutely adores me and would do anything for me. ( I feel the same about him too)

B0bbin · 09/02/2020 20:42
  1. makes me better- encourages me to do the right thing- he has shown me what it means to have principles and stick to them. 2) fights for the underdog- if anyone is getting picked on at work or in public, he sticks up for the vulnerable/ weaker party.
  2. great bum (and legs) Grin
Newschapter · 09/02/2020 20:45
  1. He is such a kind person, he will always pet stray dogs and when we're out children always smile at him (we have teens of our own)

  2. He cooks dinner most nights as he's home from work before me

  3. He loves every bit as much as I love him Grin

Newschapter · 09/02/2020 20:45

loves me

ButtonandPickle19 · 09/02/2020 20:48
  1. ditto on the hairy chest!
  2. he is man enough to let me be the breadwinner and support my dreams
  3. he makes me feel super safe and secure, we have absolute trust
SimonJT · 09/02/2020 20:49
  1. He’s kind, I have never heard him say anything nasty about anyone, including people who have been awful to him.
  1. He’s driven, has goals and a plan on how to achieve them.
  1. He somehow manages to put up with me which isn’t an easy task.

Now for a vain set.

  1. He has amazing, huge, round blue eyes, it’s like he’s looking into you (which sometimes scares me a bit).
  1. He has perfect plump lips with a defined notch bit in the middle, I don’t know the English word for it.
  1. He has an amazing bubble butt and he’s more than happy to flaunt it.
youareacuntychops · 09/02/2020 20:53
  1. he's loyal and trustworthy
  2. he's good at nearly everything he does
  3. he works double the hours I do and still does all of the food shopping and cooking plus taking DS somewhere fun once a week (swimming / soft play etc).
youareacuntychops · 09/02/2020 20:55

Oh can I have a vain set too?

He has a gorgeous Middle Eastern skin tone and grey/green eyes that are so unusual
He smells amazing
He dresses impeccably

EmbarrassedAndEnraged · 09/02/2020 20:58
  1. he's a kind and gentle person.

  2. he keeps on top of the washing/drying/putting away of clothes

  3. he really makes me laugh

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 09/02/2020 20:58

Only three?!!

TheBouquets · 09/02/2020 20:58
  1. He is very supportive and helps me to recover from the years of abuse that I have had.
  2. He wants to care for me in every way, I need the emotional support but not the financial support but he would be happy to provide for me.
  3. He spoke up on my behalf when he arrived on a scene and found that I was being verbally and emotionally abused by a family member.
Tinyhumansurvivalist · 09/02/2020 20:59
  1. he is fiercely protective over me and my dd even though it drives me mad at times!

  2. he loves me unconditionally and he loves dd like his own

  3. he is generous to a fault, with both time and money

Sipperskipper · 09/02/2020 21:05

Ah, lovely idea for a thread.

  • He is generous and kind. Would never think to question how I spend our money. Supported me through university, bought our first house, and paid off my debts. We share everything.
  • He is so energetic and driven. Passionate about everything he does - work, DIY, gardening - he gives everything 100%
  • The way he cares for me, and DD. He isn’t very soppy / romantic, but every morning before he goes to work, he brings me coffee in bed (I work PT). After DD was born, I was quite unwell with PND. Thinking how he got me through that, and everything he did for us makes me very emotional. He did it all without a second thought. He’s a wonderful dad to DD, and makes me feel like I’m a great mum too.

He’s also really handsome and very funny.

lastburritos · 09/02/2020 21:07
  1. He loves my daughter like he loves his own
  2. He lets me be myself whilst supporting me every step of the way
  3. He stands up for me and has taught me not to take any crap from people
Yabadee · 09/02/2020 21:15
  1. The way he looks after me. I almost died after having DD and he was amazing.
  2. Brilliant dad, she absolutely adores him.
  3. He works extremely hard to pick up the flak from me going part time. I still pay my share of the bills etc but he pays for all treats, from meals out, to holidays, to our wedding 🥰

Vain ones;

  1. He’s really hot. Tall, bald, tattooed, bearded and fabulous. Looks scary, but is a big pussy cat. Makes me feel safe in his arms.
  2. Makes me laugh all the time, even when I don’t think it’s possible.
  3. He always smells incredible. Wears nice aftershave of course, but his natural smell is just yummy. I’m lying in bed cuddling his pillow just now as he’s away back to work today 😔 won’t be home again until the end of the month.

Great idea for a thread OP we always just hear the bad things on here. Nice to hear the good stuff too!

LlamaofDrama · 09/02/2020 21:20

He's kind, generous and a genuinely nice person

He's very funny and makes me laugh more than anyone else does

He loves our cats to bits (as well as the DD). He didn't want the cats but he loves them, fusses over them, worries about them and never grudges a penny we spend on them.

Rationalcat · 09/02/2020 21:21
  1. He tolerates my cats.
  2. He tolerates my cats.
  3. He tolerates my cats.

Andonandonan · 09/02/2020 21:21
  1. He’s kind, and cares deeply about things.
  1. He makes me laugh every single day.
  1. He would do anything for me, and for our family.

He’s a goodun, and we make a good team.

Somerville · 09/02/2020 21:30

He’s handsome
He’s witty
But most of all, cunnilingus.

locoroco · 09/02/2020 21:30
  1. He's really hot
  2. He's well paid
  3. He's very hands on with dc

I sound a bit shallow 😬

Somerville · 09/02/2020 21:32

I was just thinking that my choices made me look shallow locoroco Grin

amusedbush · 09/02/2020 21:34
  1. He’s incredibly generous and kind.
  1. He has a great work ethic - there’s not a lazy bone in his body. That’s really attractive to me.
  1. He supports me no matter what. He has never cared that I earn a lot more than him, he has been my biggest cheerleader while I’ve spent countless evenings and weekends wrapped up in studying around my full time job, and now that I am jacking in work to do a full time PhD (with the drop in income that will bring) he just tells me how proud he is that I’m following my dream.

Bonus 4. He’s not bad to look at Grin
