To ask what strange and unusual talents your DP possesses?

[TheBeesKnee]

Mine can go to the shop to buy milk, bread and apples and come home with milk, bread and apples.

It's a disappointing talent, but he's quite proud of it

Stop jobs halfway through to start another.

Pulls cushions off couch to plump up, sees couch could do with a Hoover
Goes to get hoover, decides to feed fish
Goes to get fish food out of cupboard, sees bird food
Goes outside to feed the birds, sees some weeds
Goes into the shed to get weed killer, sees DS's bike tyre needs pumping up
Pumps tyre up, knocks bird seed over
Comes in to get dustpan & brush, sees the fish need feeding........

Can fluently speak 6 languages and understand another 3/4. Sleep through ANY alarm clock / small human getting into bed or crying through the baby monitor, stays calm in almost any situation (apart from when DS had croup and it didn't occur to either of us and we thought he was dying) including when I sliced my hand open when we were doing some DIY (not a euphemism). He gives the best hugs known to man and always wants to spend his annual bonus on me and the kids before himself. Tonight he drove through ridiculous ice and snow with a talent I've only ever seen in professional drivers.

Mine has a couple
Ability to talk my DM and his parents through any technical difficulty over the phone whilst also wrangling small children and not losing his patience with either.
Can fall asleep anywhere, anytime, in less than 5mins regardless of caffeine intake, surface, stressful life events, or time of day.
Kitchen cleaning. It gleams when he has been through (but is blind to the rest of the house).

My ex could do a very good pigeon impression.

He can regurgitate whole pieces of food, quite a long time after eating! They look pretty much the same as they went in 🙄

Makes me laugh when I need it most

Runs me a perfect bath

Deals with all things horrible from Dc and pets-including but not only sick and poo...

brings me flowers for no reason

Loves me inexplicably-even sometimes when I don't love myself

*also in fairness-when trying to leave house with 3 children and a dog and a cat which need dealing with to fly abroad he needs to urgently fill bird feeders

Mine is meticulous about making sure the washing is kept on top of.
He can fix pretty much anything.
He actually is an amazing dad.

And has some pretty impressive equipment

Mine is really good at doing jigsaw puzzles really quickly.

My late DP was a Rain Man when it came to cars or motorbikes. He could identify the make and model by the tiniest detail, like a corner of a headlight.

He would notice that the same car had been in the background in several different scenes in a movie, or that that model hadn't yet been made in the year the film was set in.

Sadly, we never came up with a way that we could monetise this skill.

DH is a medical marvel.

He will suffer through major illnesses such as man flu without medication because he took a paracetamol 3 weeks ago. Apparently it will still be in his system and working.

I may donate his body to science so they can investigate this further.

Will you wait until he is dead?

He can make clichés come to life.

He has slept through a bomb going off
He has failed to boil an egg
He was one of a group who messed up organising a piss up in a brewery.

There have been others. He is actually quite competent usually.

He can lose anything no matter how firmly I say where it's going to live in the house so we can always find it easily.

He's a fabulous ccok, does the shopping and most of the laundry. He's also a wizard investor who bought Apple and Amazon in 2009 when the stock market was in the toilet.

My dh rarely (cannot) cooks but he managed to make the best risotto I've tasted (both dd and I were sick three days and cannot stand the mentioning of risotto anymore, but it was great).

He falls asleep within seconds of just viewing his pillow, whereas I'm menopausal and take hour after hour.

He snores effortlessly occasionally waking himself up, much to my schadefreude .

mine who posses a PHD can go to asda for six cans of cat food and come home with six tins of dog food the dog on the tin should have been a hint at the contents

He is the most patient man I have ever met
Is unfailingly kind and generous
Loves me even when I’m being moody and never gets cross
Very generous in bed
Can fit into any social situation and be charming and make friends
Is horribly messy yet hoovers numerous times a day

Mine has the most amazing sense of direction/ mental map of places in his head. He's the sort of person who could navigate his way around the back streets of Timbuktu because he went there on a school day trip once 35 years ago. He's like a homing pigeon....

He's also the current Olympic champion for making double entendres....

My DH cycles for hours and hours at the weekend. Yet has never been able to interest the DC in bike riding. Funny that.

He can operate a vacuum cleaner without being (much!) prompted. He is changing diapers like a pro and is generally amazing with the baby. His superpower is his ability to diffuse any situation with his smooth and calm talking.

DP was Olympic level in a sport. And as a result has creaky knees but is genuinely one of the ‘naturally’ fittest people I know. All that training has left a base level of fitness and strength even after all the years, and 20 years of not doing the sport, that I wouldn’t be able to attain even if I worked out all day every day.

Mine is impossible to be riled by me. It does not matter how unreasonable i am, how majorly hormonally irrational I am he cannot be phased, he is always calm and bizarrely this does not annoy me.

He knows pretty much every tree and it's Latin name, stores endless facts in his brain and can review millions of song lyrics.

However he instantly loses wallet and car keys the instant he gets in the house. This gives me the rage
