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?

...and we've been together nearly 6 years, had a real old fashioned shotgun wedding a few weeks ago.

SamboM · 22/08/2003 10:55

mergle, I worried about that too. I did think that after 14 years how would we cope with someone else around all the time! We had a bit of practise with the dog (who is now 2.5) but I was still worried.

It wasn't easy at first, went through all the traditional feelings of dh feeling left out, me feeling put upon that I was expected to be as I was before (which I wasn't of course, he didn't expect that at all but I felt I should)

BUT, we talked it all through. DD is now nearly 1 and she has brought us even closer together. Like most things, you have to work at it, it doesn't come easily. But then you already know that from your 6 years together

Mergle, I second what SamboM said. And for us talking about it worked. I was getting a bit annoyed that I seemed to be doing the majority of the work, and then one night he asked "Do you think I am doing enough?" and I was totally honest an just said "no." Since then we have been really open about it. He still has the ability to walk past a pile of clean clothes at the bottom of the stairs, though! I think the fact that we are both so totally in love with our son is the ultimate bond!

We've been married 7 years - it was our anniversary on Tuesday! My darling dh is 14 years older than me, and after birth of dd1 he didn't want any more children, was very happy with one, and for various good reasons was fairly adamant that we shouldn't have any more. So for 6 years I have secretly yearned desperately for another baby, and found it hard to cope with - he realised this last year and he suggested we have another - this was a major decision for him and completely going against what he wanted, but he did it for me. And when dd2 was born 9 weeks ago, he sobbed his heart out. He is a fantastic father, my best friend, and I could never love anyone more.

ANGELMOTHER · 23/08/2003 21:01

What a nice idea for a thread.
There are many people who know enough about us whom I'm sure wonder what I'm doing with my dh but he is without question the most loyal, generous, loving, attractive, yet sometimes infuriating man I have ever met.
I sometimes think we are too close, what would I do if anything ever happened to him.

Oh and he made my birthday cake yesterday........he'd never made a cake in his life before.

I raise a glass to the good men, they do exist

Bogwoppit · 28/08/2003 15:05

It's our 4th anniversary today. We have been together since meeting on a uni hiking club trip 9yrs ago.
I have wangled a babysitter tonight too so we are off out to celebrate
My DH gave me a card and pressie at 7am when he got up with DS so I could lie in - how organised & sweet was that?!

Bogwoppit · 28/08/2003 15:08

Bogwoppit · 28/08/2003 15:09

bloomin' computers. connection times out. didn't think it had posted it

SamboM · 28/08/2003 15:29

How sweet - Happy Anniversary Bogwoppits!

Northerner · 28/08/2003 15:31

It was my birthday on Monday, and dh and ds brought me brekkie in bed. This is a real treat for me. DH hardly ever does this. He also bought me a fab book by Sophie Kinsella - he checked on out book shelf for the titles I haven't got. How thoughtful is that?

Chinchilla · 28/08/2003 20:54

It's my 4th anniversary too Bogwoppit. Hope you had a happy day. We have just had a Chinese, watched a DVD, and had a bottle of fizz. Yum. Sunday lunch-time, we are going to a restaurant and M & D are having ds. Mum actually said, 'We'll have him all day.' Hah...she'll wish she hadn't when we drop him off at 9am, and pick him up at mid-night!

OldieMum · 28/08/2003 21:23

DH and I have been together for 12 years, married for almost 7. He is funny, kind and thoughtful: the only man I've met I felt I would like to have children with, so that was lucky!

Payney · 28/08/2003 22:47

My hubby and I are about to celebrate our 2nd anniversary in a couple of weeks. We have a 14 week old ds and a 7 year old ds from his first relationship - he lives with us full time though. We've had a few ups and down - especially after ds#2 was born but he has been there in a way that I would never have thought. He had to put up with me having a complete character transformation due to severe blues at the start but then I guess I have to suffer his demonic ex telling me that I keep shrinking her child's clothes (I do tell her that children grow but she won't believe anything I say...), his wind problem, his obsession with GTIs and his ability to completely empty the fridge two hours after I come back from the supermarket. I wouldn't change him for anything though!

Our fourth anniversary last week was actually spent in the car driving to my parents' in Glasgow. ds was asleep in the back of our very small courtesy car (normal car in garage) so we had to sit in silence most of the way (7 hours).

But we did wangle a night out on the Friday - bit of a long way to go to get a babysitter though.

Saturday was lovely, we had an early 1st birthday party for ds at a hotel by the river. The whole family came. It was the nearest Saturday to our anniversary and only a stone's throw away from the hotel where we had our reception and our first night. Which was also our first night ever

Mine's just lovely. We've been married 2 years - totally shotgun, I was 7 months pregnant. (Blame the Home Office, they inisited)

I've never regretted it though. The only worry I have is that the sluglet will grow up thinking her daddy's name is "love god"

quackers · 29/08/2003 16:26

Mines gone away for 10 days. At least he staked the dishwasher before he went

SamboM · 29/08/2003 17:10

Why Coddy, does it have vampire tendancies?

codswallop · 29/08/2003 17:12

har de har - you are speedy today!

SamboM · 29/08/2003 17:16

It's all this rabbit talk...

motherinferior · 29/08/2003 20:49

My dp has just forgiven me for splling a glass of wine over his laptop computer and quite possibly destroying it.

I'm gobsmacked.
