In wanting to show my dh a bit of appreciation

[Alouiseg]

Yes this is a thread about a thread. A poster wishes that her dd becomes a lesbian because all men are bastards, basically.

Well they're not. My Dh is kind, loving, responsible, hard working and I think that we're lucky to have each other.

I bet there are loads of lovely dp/dh out there who are obviously being tarred with the same brush as the cock lodging, womanizing, lazy, brigade.

Wow norwegianblue, duck! I don't think this thread was started as a homophobic rant!!!!!

Yes, I was a bit

NorwegianBlue, this has nothing to do about sexuality. This is about appreciating the good in our partners / husbands / fiances etc etc. This is saying "no, not all men are bad", and we appreciate our partners for being who they are. This would be just as valid if I had a lesbian relationship and someone went off saying all lesbian lovers were bad!

Sorry OP, I don't mean to answer for you, but it just really bugs me when people try to turn things around to back up whichever topic they prefer.

No, definitely not a homophobic rant. Just feel a bit bad for all the good dh/dp's around.

Thanks for getting back on track although I am the worst thread diverter on the planet

Fab thread

Another lovely DH here. He works hard, is loving, respectful and a wonderful Dad.

My lovely grandma is staying with us this week, and it is hard work. DH has had the patience of a saint with her and her potterings and ramblings, and never once got exasperated with her which is more than I can say for myself!

My darling/prattish husband needs minimal grooming, is handsome, strong, funny, can grow things, is great with the kids, is okish at diy (ok crap but gives it a go) and is good in bed.

He sounds great on paper but like most men he can also be very immature, sulky, unreasonable and a big fat know it all. Like most of us I veer on a daily basis on thinking how lucky and unlucky I am. The one thing I give him major kudo's for is as a father. In that respect he is bloody brilliant. The rest he can continue to work on.

My DH is wonderful and is still the love of my life after almost a decade, including years of TTC, 8 months of hyperemesis, and numerous other trials. He still opens doors and is now an incredible dad. Watching him doing his best to teach DS to be a good man is my greatest joy.

Really lovely thread idea alouiseg.

yes, and it is easy to get lost in the silly things that niggle, when really we should be damn grateful for whatever luck/gods/fates/wisdom etc meant we ended up with a good life partner.

i would hate to regret work ending so that i didn't want to come home. i like my dh & dd, and mostly enjoy spending time with them.

one of his minor problems is a general disparaging skepticism towards mn. however, when i tell him that i read stuff on here that makes him look like a saint, he is more in favour of it.

To quote those great philosophers, Salt'n'Pepa,

"I know there ain't nobody perfect
I give credit to those who deserve it
And believe me, he's worth it"

DH grows on me every day. He is fab.

I'd also like to big up my MIL who brought up 3 children by herself, ran her own business 15 hrs a day, put all the children through school, and brought him up to be so lovely.

I'm always banging on about how much I love mine and how good he is.

He took a massive career hit to share the childrearing and housecaring duties with me, he supports my career and my parenting, he is astounding with our daughter who adores him to bits, and he's very very sexy.

We've been together almost 12 years, and it's been so much fun I can't even tell you. He's an amazing guy.

And Norwegian, you ridiculous excuse for a human being, he would be just as astounding if he were female, and there's nothing unnatural about homosexual relationships FFS.

Thank goodness for this thread. My DH is fab too. I love him to bits. We are expecting our first DC and he couldn't be more loving and supportive. We are very excited to be doing this together.
I get so depressed reading about all the scumbags on here that it is great to read all your posts about the good men out there. It has restored my faith in the male sex.

My DH is a lovely bloke. He puts up with a lot of crap from me, especially at the moment in amongst my depressive misery. Sure he annoys hell out of me at times but that's probably more my fault than his - he does more than his share of the cooking, is somewhat lax with any other housework though so fair enough. He's good with DS and he doesn't have any vices - and I love him lots.

I had a lay in! On a Thursday!!! He must have read the thread

I posted yesterday saying my DP was fabulous, wonderful, kind, generous and an all round fantastic person and I tell him all the time.

I changed my mind at 1.30am, 2.15am, 3.45am and twice at 5.10am when he kept me awake with his snoring.

He is the spawn of the devil

I'm joining in.

My DH is wonderful too. He deals uncomplainingly with my insomnia (sleeps on sofa, took most of the night feeds when ds2 was tiny, laways deals with ds2 still if he wakes in the night), views ds1 as his own, is exccellent at shopping with me (waits patiently in every shop, never rolls eyes, carries all bags, pays ).

All kinds of stuff. He is my best friend. And, he's tall, dark, handsome and sexy.

In fact, if he didn't have such a fixation on golf, he'd be damn near perfect!!

My DH is fabulous because:

• he is very hands on with the kids - when friends were visiting and DH changed DS, my friend said to her own DH "see Richard? He changes nappies!" haha.

• he does more than his fair share of cooking and washing up, even after a hard day at work.

• he takes any excuse to show off about me (and the kids) but in a nice, non-derogatory-to-others way. he's just really proud of us

• he loves cuddles and doesn't put on a macho front

• he's put up with me for 8 years!

• he went through a really horrific, abusive childhood (and then a nasty first marriage) - but has turned it around and is an amazing husband and father.

I'm jealous . You are all v lucky.

Me too v lucky indeed. He does way more than his share of housework and gets up in the night

22 years together now, we were 22 and 20 when we met. I love him dearly, and he loves me.

Wouldn't swap him for the world!

my DH is brilliant in so many ways. He's funny, smart, endlessly hard working, a great cook, proactive, an amzingly caring friend and husband.

i love him because when we talked about having kids, i told him that i never wanted him to be 'just' the dad, as in 'oh, dad's babysitting the kids tonight' [they're his children!]
i never wanted the kids to feel that I was their primary carer, its a shared effort in every single way, and he has fulfilled that and become the most amazing dad.

domestically we clash daily because i am endlessly hopeless at noticing the piles of washing, but i look back on how long we've been married and we've done so bloody well. he tells me something new every day and im proud to be with him as a person.

Mine too, and he is up the pub, and I don't mind cos he works bloody hard for it.

BTW he doesn't cook and has never got up in the night.
