In this world of conflict and cries of LTB let's celebrate the good ones by saying three things about our wife, husband or partner. I'll go first;

  1. He takes 50% of childcare and housework and life administration without being asked.
  2. He notices if I'm struggling or shattered and buys me a ticket to a gig or picks up my share of the slack.
  3. He loves and physically takes care of people such as his mum, friends and our son.

He's clean.
He's a fun friend to his mates.
He sometimes buys the teabags I like.

He has tolerated my shit for 30 years!😂

He's very kind , caring and loving , he puts me and the children before himself all the time. He works hard to give us all a lovely life. He cheers me up when I'm down , he makes me laugh. He tells me I'm the most beautiful woman in the world and I still fancy him umpteen years down the line , he's not perfect but not far off it.

He's really funny - I still laugh out loud every day, even after 30 years together
He's a great cook
He buys tickets to shows, gigs, exhibitions several times a month so that we always have an interesting date to look forward to in the next few days
He's lovely with animals - so gentle and caring
He's a brilliant dad - our grown up sons adore him
he's very clever and knowledgable about so many different subjects.

I think this is a really lovely idea for a thread.

  1. My husband is unflappable. As someone with extreme anxiety, I am always in a flap. He is calm. Steady, a rock, and if I could muster a few moments of patience, he would sort out all of the problems I perceive are emergencies then and there.
  1. He is an excellent father. Truly. He is caring, gentle and it doesn't matter what age of child hes been parenting, he has always been great. Baby feeds in the night, great. Running kids an hour to and from activities late of an evening. That's him. Always with a smile.
He took on my eldest as his own, and even when we had a baby together, I've never detected a hint of him ever feeling that she was less his, or less important.
  1. He is kind. He's taught me to be kinder and more patient with people, but he's also taught me that ive deserved kindness I've never had in my life until meeting him.

He's a good man, drives me mad sometimes, but I think that's more from within me, than him. He's lovely and I feel really lucky to spend my life with him.

He had this knack for knowing when I need to talk or discuss something that's bothering me, or when all I need is a cuddle and to be held to make me feel better about the situation.

  1. He adores me - not in a smug or showy way - but I know he wouldn't want to be without me & appreciates all my good qualities.
  1. He is FUNNY. So bloody funny. Nobody makes me laugh the same.
  1. I think he is bloody gorgeous & he never makes me feel bad about myself. I've gained a lot of weight & he's never commented or made me feel any kind of way about it. I can tell he loves me however I look.

I, on the other hand, need work. I get full of resentment & horrible sometimes but actually he is the love of my life & I should let him know more often.

pawsandponies · 19/11/2023 00:45

There has never been a time o have needed him and he has not been there. 12 years together two married.

I hope he can say the same for me.

Margaritasandmojitos · 19/11/2023 01:07

He loved me when I thought I was unlovable. He was a great father. He volunteered a lot. He cared about everyone. He helped the homeless. I lost him 3 years ago and I miss him every single day.

Fionaville · 19/11/2023 01:18

After 20+ years together he still acts like I'm the sexiest woman on earth (even though I'm far from it!)
He is completely devoted to me and our kids and is a total family man.
He gets more handsome every year.

TammyJones · 19/11/2023 01:34

Sending a huge hug 💐 he will always be with you every single day .

He gets on with anyone and is warm, funny, generous and gracious (this includes towards my large, difficult, mostly quite mad family).

He looks after me when I’m sick and when I get my (hellish) periods. There’s a lot to be said for a nurturing, caring guy.

He is the best Dad I could ever have hoped for. Totally devoted to our kids.

Could list more Grin. He cooks, too. Wink
