To tell you how I feel grateful today for my husband

[Jenneypops]

I'm not gloating, he's not perfect and we have our bickers, he can be lazy and has the memory of a toffee apple. But I was just sitting here thinking he's a good egg and it's nice to share that feeling.

This weekend he tidied the house yesterday morning and told me to have a lie in because I had a bad headache Today he done 2 loads of washing went and done the shopping, picked up my prescription, brought me home my favourite food magazine and some of my favourite biscuits. He then cooked a lovely full roast dinner and done all the washing up afterwards. We don't have children so he could have just done the minimum and enjoyed some free time. He's just asked if I'm feeling better would I like to sit together and enjoy a film.

Oh and he didn't kill me for buying some ludicrously expensive chocolate on Friday 🤣 hope you are all having a lovely Sunday either enjoying your own company or with friends and family.

Lovely to read, OP! ❤️

I’m usually a pretty disgustingly healthy type, hardly ever need to see the GP, so it came as a real shock when a nasty bug I couldn’t shake off, turned into pneumonia and pleurisy that put me in hospital for 3 weeks.

I don’t always appreciate my dh as I should, but he was a star. I was having drenching sweats every night, he came in twice a day with clean pyjamas - I didn’t find the hospital ones warm enough. And helped me wash my hair in a washbasin when I was feeling so foul and grotty with unwashed hair - couldn’t shower since had both a drip and a drain in my lung.

Ever since then I have not said a word when he sneezes like a bomb going off!! 😂

Oh FFS. Give it a rest.

Sorry you're bitter. Hope you have a better day.

I'm not bitter thanks. Just fucked off with your smug, sanctimonious answer, the 'doesn't fly' and your over investment. You're not even the OP. But never mind. I cba with it all. Whatever...

LTB! (Well, this IS Mumsnet :-)

Yeah- I have adhd, so ‘normal’ stuff is an effort. Luckily for me, I have a very understanding husband. When I have a productive day, it feels good.

I’m great at doing stuff under pressure though, like speed cleaning when visitors are coming.
