A proud thread for all our DHs

Feeling very lovey dovey today. It's my fourth wedding anniversary and I'm more in love with dh than ever.

He's sensitive, funny, generous, thoughtful, handsome and a great dad. I'm so blessed to have him and love waking up with him every morning. Still get squishy feelings when he phones from work to say hello.

With all these really painful and sad threads about marriage breakdowns, is there anyone out there who's still as much in love with their dh?

Oh Bobsmum what a lovely post!! Congrats on your anniversary - hope you're doing something nice!

Yes, I am still as much in love, infact more in love with my dh than when we first met! We have been married for 11 years this year and been through a lot together. He has been fantastic through it all and is my best friend. He accepts me 100% faults and all (well most of the time!). I probably don't appreciate him most of the time as much as I should though!

SamboM · 21/08/2003 11:15

Aww Bobsmum that's so sweet! Happy Anniversary to you and your dh.

And I can say that after 14 years together (8 of them married) I still feel the same about my dh too! He calls me at least 4 times a day from work (and I call him the same). Like every couple we have our moments but I can truthfully say that we adore each other and our dd has brought us even closer.

prufrock · 21/08/2003 11:21

Oh Yes Yes Yes. He has his faults but so do I. And whilst he may not be perfect, he's perfect for me.
He can still make me go weak at the knees, he's a wonderful father and the one person in the world who I feel completely comfortable with all the time.
Congratulations on your anniversary Bobsmum, and thanks for making me remember just how lucky I am.

EmmaTMG · 21/08/2003 11:28

Yep, have to agree on all points here. Mine is lovely too.
He would probably faint if he saw this thread with a post from me on it as most of the time I'm awful to him(it's my PG hormones) but I really do love him more than I could ever possibly say.

eidsvold · 21/08/2003 12:58

My dh and I have not been together that long - in relationship in jul 2001, AUg engaged - married in Oct, pregnant in November and then the hardest year and 40 weeks of our lives... I love him to bits and I know there is no way I would have come out of the past year as positive and together as I have without him - our dd has the best father in the world and I can't imagine my life without him.

oliveoil · 21/08/2003 13:07

Hurrah! Was going to start a thread like this but didn't want to be smug if anyone was going through a bad patch, cheers Bobsmum! My dh is my best friend too, been together for 7 years, married for 18 months. We had a rude text message exchange on the way to work today and I still get that buzz from him. Aahhhhhhhhh. Can annoy the out of me too, but vice versa I am sure.

Boe · 21/08/2003 13:10

Are we with DPs allowed to join (have DH too but do not love him!!).

My DP is the most wonderful man I have ever met (not ever met George Clooney though!! hhmm!!) I felt a bit silly the other night - waiting for period and had a spot and was fat and grumpy and told him that I felt very lucky that he loved me because he could do far far better - he said that he feels exactley the same about me and everytime he looks at me he wants to tell me just how lucky he feels.

He is very caring, sensitive, generous, loving, giving (in an emotional way), very handsome (well in my eyes anyway), intelligent, funny and very sexy too!!

One day I do actually hope he will be my DH though.

Northerner · 21/08/2003 13:12

My dh is truly wonderful also (most of the time!)

Does anyone elses dh enjoy acting like a child, or is it just mine? And I mean being REALLY silly like farting in your face, making stupid noises and dancing like an idiot. Does make me laugh.

EmmaTMG · 21/08/2003 13:17

Yes northener mine does that as well, most of the time it's funny but some of the time it really f*s me off but that's not for this thread.

CAM · 21/08/2003 13:49

Yes, love him to death, he's my hero. Love at first sight,lived together for nearly 9 years (5 and a half of them married).

Janstar · 21/08/2003 14:16

Happy Anniversary Bobsmum - and are you going out on the town tonight?

My DH is not perfect but I'm certainly not either so that's okay. But I can't imagine ever finding someone as good as him again, - I just don't think another exists. If I had designed him myself he wouldn't be much different. The only changes would be minor stuff that doesn't amount to a whole hill of beans. He is always there for me when it counts. He makes up for all the b***ds from the past. It was worth going through all of them to get to him.

motherinferior · 21/08/2003 16:41

My dp and I frequently drive each other up the wall (two kids, one two one eight weeks old, nuff said) but he is completely lovely and much, much more than I could ever have hoped for; certainly more than I ever deserved.

SimonHoward · 21/08/2003 16:43

Never had a DH so I can't comment

SamboM · 21/08/2003 17:04

You should try it SimonHoward

SimonHoward · 21/08/2003 17:22

SamboM

Unlike my wife i don't lean that way

SamboM · 21/08/2003 17:22

Hmmm, thought that may be a little insensitive after reading your other post ;-)

SimonHoward · 21/08/2003 17:27

I never knock it if I haven't tried it SamboM but it's not my sort of thing.

codswallop · 21/08/2003 19:08

I am always glad when ,he goes back to work tho. cant like him too much , he may get used to it.

fisil · 21/08/2003 19:56

Aarrr. Great thread. After being rude(ish) about men on "I'm coming back as a bloke" thread last night, I'm even happier to join in this one.

Fell even more deeply in love with dp after babe came along. Thought he'd have to share my love, but instead I've more than doubled what I had.

Northerner & EmmaTMG - glad I'm not the only one. It really is a sign of love isn't it - he wouldn't share his precious noxious gases with anyone else in such an intimate way!

Happy anniversary Bobsmum.

nerdgirl · 22/08/2003 10:13

Belated Happy Anniversary Bobsmum.

I am also a big dh fan. He's the business!

Rebi, were we seperated at birth? Two Irish girls, happily married for eleven years and mumsnetters to boot!

Sorry for repeating myself.

Rebi · 22/08/2003 10:30

Nerdgirl - I think we might have been - bizarre eh!!

jac34 · 22/08/2003 10:40

Yes Bobsmum,
I'm still very much in love with my lovely DH, much more now, than when we first met.
The ups and downs of family life just seem to have brought us closer, we know we can talk to each other and lean on each other when life gets a bit tough.
I still think he's really sexy, and still get butterflies in my stomach, even after we've been together 9 years, and 7 years of marriage !!!

Hope you and DH have a romantic evening to celebrate tonight!!!!

mergle · 22/08/2003 10:49

My partner (technically husband) is amazing. We work together really well. We fill in each other's flaws, if that makes sense. I look forward to him coming home every day. He really is my best friend-there's noone I'd rather spend time with and we can quite happily go somewhere remote for 3 weeks and speak to hardly anyone except each other, and still have plenty to say. And then miss each other once we're back at work.

However, the whole time we've been together we've been both working, studying, whatever-interests coming in from outside. Have just started maternity leave with first baby due 3 looooong days ago. I do wonder how our relationship will change once baby #1 finds the escape hatch. I've seen so many relationships deteriorate once the first baby is born.
