Does anyone here actually like their husband?

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!

I love and like my husband. 18 years married this summer, 20 years together.
He is kind, thoughtful and he makes me feel safe and loved. He’s a fantastic dad and a good person. I hit the jackpot with him.

Wineat5isfine · 20/06/2021 18:27

Yes, with every fibre of my being. He’s my best friend and soul mate.

Can’t ever imagine my life without him.

Susannahmoody · 20/06/2021 18:28

Plenty of holier than thou smuggery going on in this thread. When you choose to marry someone, there's no guarantee that'll they'll be the prince you met forever and ever amen. Times and people change. Princes can become shits.

paniniswapx3 · 20/06/2021 18:30

I think that's the point @Susannahmoody - everyone knows that but we're very grateful for what we have but it's not something anyone boasts about.

ivfbabymomma1 · 20/06/2021 18:30

Yeah I do like/love mine! He has his moments as we all do but generally we are a good team. We have only been married 5 years with 1 son so perhaps this will change 😂

cheeseislife8 · 20/06/2021 18:31

Yep, he's ace. He's not perfect, but neither am I, and yes we get on each other's nerves at times, but we're happy and content and I love him to bits.
As has been said, we only tend to see it more on here because OP is having difficulties, there wouldn't be a need to seek advice otherwise. I think this skews the balance of positive to negative posts

HonestlyFuckThis · 20/06/2021 18:31

It’s because nobody’s posting ‘AIBU to consider my husband the nicest, kindest man in the world’, are they? People post on AIBU when conflicts arise. It’s a self selecting group.

Fangsalot89 · 20/06/2021 18:31

He’s my best friend and there’s no one I’d rather be with. Our favourite part of the day is sitting in our pjs watching tv series together after our kid is in bed. Not sure why anyone would not enjoy their time with their partner.

Quite. How dull would this site be if people queued up every day to post about how much they love their husband. Its a bit like posting "the sun came up this morning".
Jellybabiesforbreakfast · 20/06/2021 18:35

I like mine most of the time.

Problem is, he has this charming notion that there are little fairies living in our house who follow him around to pick up after him, do his washing and move his plates and cups into the dishwasher. Apparently, they lived with him at his parents, flew away when he went to university and moved back in again afterwards. He thinks I'm being passive-aggressive when I gently try to suggest they don't exist. If he could come to terms with this, we would probably both like each other a lot better.

Just10moreminutesplease · 20/06/2021 18:38

I like and love my husband. We’ve been together 11 years and he’s my best friend and biggest cheerleader. Both worked from home during lockdown and loved it so much that he has just found a permanent home based position (I’m on maternity but work from home normally anyway).

I love and respect him even more now that we are parents. Plus he still gives me butterflies.

Most threads are made because the OP has a problem... why would people make threads just to say everything is going great in their marriage?

cookiecreampie · 20/06/2021 18:42

I love him to bits and like him as a person. When he's with me I'm at my happiest. Even if we're just sitting together not really saying anything I'm just glad that he's there.

Topseyt · 20/06/2021 18:44

We both love and annoy each other in equal measure. Been together 36 years now, married for 27.

DulseSeaweed · 20/06/2021 18:45

Adore him but imagine, like others, that's exactly why I've never made a thread about him.

Okbye · 20/06/2021 18:49

Definitely not today.

It’s my birthday today and he’s made no effort. We agreed a few days ago that we would have Fathers Day next week.

He got me a present (that I specifically requested - because otherwise he ‘doesn’t know what to get me’) but other than that nothing. We haven’t even been out anywhere apart from my parents for dinner.

No cake, no Happy Birthday song, nothing.
I don’t like him today.

ilovepixie · 20/06/2021 18:52

I love him. He's a bit of a twat at times then again so am I!

wingingit987 · 20/06/2021 18:59

I love and like my partner of 8 years but that doesn't mean he doesn't almighty fuck me off and sometimes I do need the advice of strangers on Mumsnet

MysteriousMonkey · 20/06/2021 18:59

Yes. He really is my best friend. Sometimes he annoys me but I am probably much more annoying to live with Grin

Lagomtransplant · 20/06/2021 19:02

Love mine to bits, and it's mutual.

AuntyMabelandPippin · 20/06/2021 19:03

35 years together and I still adore him, he's just the bees knees.

Mrschristmasqueen · 20/06/2021 19:04

Yes, he's a bloody superstar!! I adore the man and he me. Reading a lot of posts on here makes me so thankful for him and after two absolutely horrendous relationships before him I'm eternally grateful for the day I met him.

vdbfamily · 20/06/2021 19:05

My DH can be very annoying but I love him to bits and he makes me laugh every day. I read MN and constantly wonder why people are in relationships that make them so unhappy. I cannot imagine sharing a bed with someone I dislike or do not feel loved and appreciated by. I say that as someone who has been married nearly 20 years and could literally count on one hand the amount of times my DH had said' I love you' but he shows me he does every day. I am also overweight and grey haired and he is slim and not very grey. He has never made me feel self conscious about it. We just enjoy doing life together. I have never once in the 20 years, thought I would be better off without him.

TillyTopper · 20/06/2021 19:06

Yes, I've been with DP 25+ years, I love him to bits. He's fantastic in the house, a great Dad to our 2 DS, very intelligent, good job... but as PP have said why would post about that? Ppl mostly post problems and troubling questions on forums.

romany4 · 20/06/2021 19:06

Love mine. Have done for 31 years.

However, I'm currently going through menopause and he is an untidy fucker, so I also want to kill him regularly Grin

OrangeRug · 20/06/2021 19:17

I both love and like him. We were best friends before we became a couple. Although he does get on my nerves a lot.
