Yes=yabu
No=yanbu

Seems to me there's so much husband bashing going on on here, makes me wonder why some people are even together!

Shown me that should say

ODFOx · 20/06/2021 17:29

Yes, I like mine very much.
I also dislike him, get exasperated by him and get frustrated by him occasionally.
But he is pretty much my favourite person in the whole wide world. Even when he's being an arse, I know why he's being an arse (usually because I am being one).

BlueJag · 20/06/2021 17:29

I like him and love him dearly. Easy going and so cute. Very funny too.
We've been together 32 years. Very sweet man.

MouseholeCat · 20/06/2021 17:30

This is an anonymous internet forum so people are going to use it to post about their less than stellar relationships and you're going to see bad relationship dynamics at a rate higher than your circle discloses to you in real life. Think of it as the opposite to Instagram.

I love my DH, but that's a pretty smug and boring thing to post about.

Iggi999 · 20/06/2021 17:32

I wonder if posters who never have a bad word to say about their husbands have passed the ten year mark yet! It would be odd in a long marriage or relationship to never get fed up with another human's characteristics.

StevieNix · 20/06/2021 17:34

Yep we’ve been together for 9 years, married for 4 and I really couldn’t love him more if I tried, and he says the same.
He’s my absolute best friend and knows me like no one else does (and vice-versa)
He is considerate, kind, thoughtful, hilarious, romantic, selfless, supportive, the perfect husband and dad to our DC and he’s also bloody gorgeous. He tells me every day (numerous times a day) how much he loves me, and he shows me in so many different ways.
I really feel like I’ve hit the jackpot with him and our relationship and although our life Isn’t perfect, it feels pretty perfect to me.

BabyPotato · 20/06/2021 17:35

I like and love mine. He's ace and kind and makes me laugh. Smile We've been together for 13 years, married for 6 and I couldn't imagine myself with anyone else. ❤️

EllaPaella · 20/06/2021 17:36

Yes I love and like him. Been together 17 years now. Of course he drives me crazy at times as I'm sure I do him but I can't imagine life without him.

paniniswapx3 · 20/06/2021 17:39

@LemonJuiceFromConcentrate

I like and love DP very much anyway, but reading on here about what some women put up with makes me extra grateful for how lovely he is.

My views on him are far too soppy for MN though and it would seem smug, so generally I don’t post about him. I imagine it’s the same with the rest of the husband-likers.

I agree with this - together 21 years and married for 18 but it really feels like it's been 2 minutes as it's gone by so quickly (although 3 DCs ages 14-10 have definitely aged us Grin).

He drives me crazy at times but really does pull his weight and is great with our DCs. Love him!

CurryLover55 · 20/06/2021 17:39

We have been through some extremely tough times & actually at one point I probably should have left him but now I’m glad I didn’t. He’s far from perfect but I know he has my back & he makes me laugh every day. Couldn’t imagine life without him.

LoveFall · 20/06/2021 17:40

I love mine very much. We have been together close to 30 years. I feel lucky I met him.

He is the best Father and Grandfather ever. He has always been there as a constant support for the kids, to the extent of re-learning trig to help a grandson with pre-calculus.

He has parented without raising his voice (maybe once or twice, just a bit, and boy did they listen).

He has coped with me having a chronic disease that has limited my activities at times and supported me through medical interventions, surgeries, and hospital stays.

I know I can be frustrating and stubborn, and sometimes he reacts, but it all comes out in the wash.

He can cook, do laundry, and cleans the kitchen every evening after dinner.

It's Fathers Day today and restrictions here were lifted this week, so we are having a celebration dinner honouring Fathers today.

cupsofcoffee · 20/06/2021 17:40

I do, but I also have no reason to post about him on here because we're happy.

People posting on here are generally doing so because they're angry, upset, pissed off or something else negative - people don't post when things are going well.

Benfoldspomped · 20/06/2021 17:41

I've been with my DH 24 years, and love him more and more every year.

GreenBlood · 20/06/2021 17:43

I love and like him. I have never liked other women's husbands mind you - not my friends' or my sisters'. Some of them I absolutely loathe.

maddiemookins16mum · 20/06/2021 17:44

It’s MN, thousands of women on here HATE all men, husbands included.

Franticbutterfly · 20/06/2021 17:46

Yes (Yabu). We have a good relationship, talk non stop about, well, everything. There's no one I'd rather hang out with.

museumum · 20/06/2021 17:46

Would be a pretty shit thread that started with “AIBU to like my husband?”

icecreamgirl94 · 20/06/2021 17:47

We aren’t married yet but yes generally I like him a lot. We have a very equal relationship and both do thoughtful things for each other. Seeing some of the stories on mumsnet makes me extremely grateful for what I have, and I wouldn’t want to shout about it and make people that are having a tough time feel any worse.
Also he sleeps on his stomach and I don’t know why but I find it seriously sexy.

bungaloid · 20/06/2021 17:47

It would be fun to help provide balance, if every week you logged into Mumsnet you had to answer a single question, e.g. "do you want to murder your partner this week", yes, no, N/A.

Macncheeseballs · 20/06/2021 17:47

I'm not even going to dignify it with an answer, it's such a stupid question

NeverDropYourMoonCup · 20/06/2021 17:49

Ah, he's a twat. But he's my twat, and I love him.

LordOfTheOnionRings · 20/06/2021 17:51

Not married but I can whole heartedly say I love my partner with all my heart. He does everything for me and really is such a massive support. He is an amazing dad and does the lions share of the housework.

He is very thoughtful, if I message saying i'm having cramps or something i'll get home to a hot water bottle, chocolates and tea already cooking so I can put my feet up. I've been very lucky.

The biggest thing I appreciate about him is he talks through if he is frustrated, I find shouting and swearing incredibly disrespectful and has never come close to crossing that line. Everything is talked through like adults. He is great.

thelonggame · 20/06/2021 17:51

I realised that I didn't like mine, thats why I'm divorcing him

Aneley · 20/06/2021 17:52

Absolutely. I love and like my husband. There are certain things he does/doesn't do that are not my favourites, but then I don't like everything about myself either. Overall, I consider myself to be exceptionally lucky woman to be married to him. And yes, he is also my best friend. If I don't share it with him - it didn't happen.

HTH1 · 20/06/2021 17:52

How’s this for an AIBU?

“My husband and I get on so well and love each other very much. He does his fair share of the household chores and we share the finances equally. We never argue and I miss him when he’s at work. AIBU?”

If people posted lovely dovey crap like the above, AIBU would become very dull indeed...
