i am seeing a lot of threads about men taht aren't so great. men that aren't treating their partners how they should be. i ended my relationship with such a man in august and i really do want to meet a great man, a man who is deserving of what i am. but all these threads are chipping away at any hope that such a man exists. at the minute i find myself saying "thank god i am single" when in actual fact i don't want to be single, not for lack of decent men anyway.

Another one here with a wonderful DH. He's my best friend, he ALWAYS is able to make me laugh, usually over something really silly, we enjoy talking to each other, he is gentle and kind and funny and thoughtful. He is a brilliant cook, and is super organised around the house. He just brought me a gin and a smile while I was on the computer. I actually find it very sad and depressing when MN posters write rude things about men, since he is so special. He looked after me when I had cancer and was superb. I also love and respect his intelligence and enjoy finding out what he thinks about things/issues/ideas, since he is not always predictable, and I like that. He has a nice bum but I think his thighs are his strong point since he does a lot of running. Smile

I am so lucky that I have my DH and he sticks by me all the time. He puts up with me being ill and tired a lot of the time. He never begrudges me time alone, money or stops me from doing anything I want (though he did draw the line at me getting an elephant). He is my best friend and I love him so much. I also know he loves me which is huge as I have never felt it before.

MJ that did make me cry, in a good way. Think I will print it out and stick it on my fridge Grin

Hoping for one of these good men to come my way.

My DH is my soul mate through and through, a small example of how wonderful he is to me.
I am 36+4 wks pg, the car won't start so he has gone out in this horrendous weather to walk 2 miles to local shop just to get the dippy bits so I can have fajitas for dinner. He is SAHD and has already spent all day cleaning and tidying as well as finishing unpacking boxes as we moved house 2 weeks ago! He would go to end of earth and back for DD and me! I love him with all my heart!

My DH is a good man.

He does all the cooking and works full-time. When DD was born, he got up in the night, every night, to make me sandwiches to keep the milk going!

He shops for the veg and stuff every Saturday.

He plans our holidays, and they're always good.

He thinks of new things to do; bands, exhibitions, all the time.

He is a good dad to our DD (she is even quite proud when he takes her see bands - or picks her up from Lady Gaga).

We never disagree about the discipline of the DD, though the dog is a different matter.

He tells me he loves me, often, and unprompted.

He has a raucous sense of humour.
