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

[pollyglot]

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?

It's not Spring, but I hear you and I'm happy for you.
My husband is 74 and a lovely one as well.

It has in the Southern hemisphere.

Absolutely lovely post …so uplifting 💕

This made me smile 🤍🤍🤍

Ah, silly me...
Obviously!
😁

Apologies for the gear-grinding,NahNotHavingIt, but my eyes were strangely moist ... probably the sun. I shall not use such trite devices ever again...
Yes, it is Spring in NZ, the weather is beautiful, my garden is looking lush, my cats are snuggled up. Life is good.

You’re beautiful in his eyes OP and it seems his lovely too.

So lovely. I'm glad you gave each other.

That's lovely OP. And a nice change to see something happy!

Lovely! ❤️

It’s very nice. It’s a lot easier for older men to be romantic once they give up their youthful male ego and realise they haven’t got a chance to get anyone else anymore so will be nicer to you

I aspire to this life. Congratulations OP

Today my DH sent me this text from the office. Totally random, and sooooo like him (hearts and flowers he is not!):

I feel very grateful to be married to you.

In reply, I sent him a photo of his favourite apple and blueberry crumble I’d just taken out of the oven. True love, I tell you ❤️

Or he could be totally besotted with OP and never wanted a chance with anyone else....

Lovely OP, enjoy 🥰.

😍😍❤️

DonnaBanana - he's always been lovely to me, even when he was younger and thinner and fitter. Has never looked at another woman nor raised his voice. He's wonderful with kids, animals and old people, too. He is one of those rare beings, a man of honour.
Sorry to have spoiled your theory.

I have heard of these unicorns :) he is also very lucky ;)

He may well be a very lucky man, but you’re also a lucky woman. This is so beautiful to read ❤️
Yes, yes he IS the loveliest man

How lovely to hear that the man we want to exist actually does!
clone him quick!

It has in Aus and NZ

Where in NZ are you? It's pissing with rain in most of the country!

(misses the whole point of the post)

💕💗 love this & hope my DH feels the same, although I’m more likely to hear something much more practical than romantic, but I believe he loves me🤣🤣

He's also a wonderful cook...and I know how lucky I am.

I love reading lovely things like this, it's always lovely to know lasting love is around and that you still can look at each other at any age and still feel like you always did 😀

What a weird way to tell everyone you're bitter.

OP this is the nicest thing I've ever read on Mumsnet. I love this. You both sounds like absolute gems.
