...to think I have the loveliest DH in the world?

I'm sitting here in my well-worn and unglamorous pyjamas, laptop on my knee, working on my latest book. The sun is streaming in through the French windows, and spring has indeed sprung.
DH comes in with a coffee for me, and says..."You look so beautiful sitting there in the sun. I'm so proud of you, and the luckiest man alive."

Readers, I'm going on 75, and he is 76. I have glasses, wrinkles and gardening hands, carrying a little more avoirdupois than recommended. Beautiful I am not. Is he lovely, or what?

Spring has not sprung.

He is lucky, and you are lucky. To have a loving relationship like this is what life is about. Sounds lovely.

IamEarthymama · 02/10/2024 22:10

He is very lovely and so are you, I am sure!

I have been with my DW for 25 years and the sight of her still fills my heart with joy.💖

Lovely to hear:):):)

Spring?! It’s autumn, well in the U.K. anyway!

You are both really lucky! Lovely to read!

LightSpeeds · 02/10/2024 22:14

Awwwww, that's lovely 🥰

Spring has not sprung.

As she’s typing this at 10pm UK time and talking about the sun shining in through the window, one can assume she is not local! It is spring in Australia!

OP, this is lovely! 🥰

NahNotHavingIt · 02/10/2024 22:15

Sorry but the 'readers' thing grinds my gears, so it spoiled the mental image 😤🤣

But yes, happy for you both.

Diversion · 02/10/2024 22:17

Just lovely! Please tell us about your books, I am presuming that as you say "latest book" that you have written others. Obviously you do not need to tell us the titles or anything, just a brief description about the kind of writing you do would be lovely.

TurquoiseTortoiseToastyToes · 02/10/2024 22:17

He sounds like a keeper OP

marriednotdead · 02/10/2024 22:18

It is indeed wonderful to be seen, not as through a classic beauty lens but as a whole person and loved for that. Congratulations!
I am in my 50s and past my prime in many ways but I am still told I am beautiful by my DP and that he cannot believe his luck at being the person that I chose, even though it's me that pinches myself every day at my good fortune!

PS I'm guessing that you're on the other side of the world from the UK as it's spring.

Acornsoup · 02/10/2024 22:19

I love this ♥️

Commonsenseisnotsocommon · 02/10/2024 22:19

I'm so pleased to read a happy post. It sounds like you have a lovely relationship, keep on enjoying it you two lovebirds ❤️

Acornsoup · 02/10/2024 22:20

Any advice for the rest of us?

MontysBakehouse · 02/10/2024 22:20

Overcompensating, probably having an affair, LTB.

Bigsigh24 · 02/10/2024 22:22

Yes this is beautiful and lovely x

qwertyasdfgzxcv · 02/10/2024 22:22

Spring?

Emotionalsupporthamster · 02/10/2024 22:22

What a lovely post! I hope me and my DH are as happy as you and your DH when we’re in our 70s ❤️

Elderberrier · 02/10/2024 22:24

I am so happy for you. What a lovely image!
