I will start:

I am poorly with a horrible cold atm and last night when DP got home he presented me with a huge bunch of flowers and some lovely chocolates and instructed me to get on the sofa and not move. he then cooked me a delicious dinner. after dinner he gave me a back, shoulder and head massage for like an HOUR. and would not let me return the favour. not to mention that he put the kids to bed and tidied the kitchen (but he does that most nights anyway).

Also, I am going out on a night out with my girlfriends soon and BF couldn't get a babysitter for her little girl. (she hasn't got many people who can babysit) So DP offered to babysit for her DD so my friend can still come out, as well as looking after our two. (and this is not a one off, he has babysat for my friend on several occasions)

I am so lucky to have him, I have seen far too many examples of terrible, shit excuses for "men" recently, both on here and in RL. he is the best dad and partner anyone could wish for, I love him so much it aches we are getting married soon and i cant wait. AND he is gorgeous and great in bed too Blush

Awww mine is lovely too. Am also ill and he has been plying me with hot-water bottles and hot-chocolate for days. And has just gone out in the snow for more supplies as I am too lazy ill to cook.

awww how lovely, ok,

dp is lovely because:-

he'll think nothing of working hard all week in the class room/having 2 exams then coming home to cook me tea cos he was in first, plus have the bath running for me with some bubbles in it.

when it's 'ladies week' he brings a huge bar of choc and gives me copious amounts of cuddles without question, (he knows now not to talk just hand the chocs over and let me be)

he's gergeous in a non obvious way which he doesn't get so it makes him sexier.

he teaches my son that the man does his share in the house (his words... 'in a partnership like me and your mums we all pitch in :)')

he stands and does my ironing on a sunday night (best bit! lol)

he's so mild mannered it's unreal, never raises his voice, is firm but fair, takes the kids to the park & does various stuff with them without asking - infact kicks me out with some cash to go shopping and relax with friends while he watches the kids - usually doing something or other that's silly.

when he thinks he's been a twat (ie, hasn't been in touch much or has been a little short as he's tired atm with work & v stressed) he'll apologise unreserved and mean it fully. tbh thou he always treats me like his princess [puke] :o.

tbh still waiting for a) the catch and b) to wake up.

Mine buys me diamonds every year.

He waited in yesterday for the British Gas man to come and fix our boiler so I could go to work.

He has a heart of gold and puts up with my moaning.

He doesn't mind how much I spend, never ever questions it.

He never moans when I ask him to go to the freezer in the garage for the third time in a day...

He cleared the drive for me yesterday for when I got home from work.

He always offers to make me a cup of coffee/tea when he has one.

He has loads of lovely qualities.

Another great man here too!!

He always listens properly, puts me and my feelings before all else, cleans, tidys, cooks and generally treats me like a princess- I worry sometimes I'm getting a bit spoilt Wink

E.g, he's a freelancer and never has to be up before me, but always sets his alarm before I need to wake up (no matter how early that is) so that he can make me tea, and then wake me up gently.

And this is after years of a self-esteem ruining relationship where I ended up believing that great men genuinely didn't exist Grin
