When I was ill he was there to rescue me. I now know how powerful that promise 'in sickness and in health 'is if made by someone who really means it
He tells me Im gorgeous and he loves me every day
when I see our sons shaping up to be fine young men I appreciate how important a fine male role model is
he is FAB and I LOVE him. Xxxxx

ok we've been fighting recently so this might be a difficult one

despite being as stubborn as a mule, he will sometimes admit h has a point, and then change his behaviour
if he has done something stupid he genuinely apologises rather than making excuses
Once he has decided something is a good idea, he doesn't need any further convincing
He treats me as an equal - in fact I don't think he realises not everyone does

StealthPolarBear · 14/02/2011 07:43

lot of backhanded compliments there Blush

TobyLerone · 14/02/2011 10:09

As an aside, this is probably a really good exercise if you've been fighting, SPB ...

Hmmm. I love my boyfriend because:

He's hotter than the fires of hell!

He absolutely adores me.

He's clever.

He's very thoughtful.

He loves my children, and they love him.

He's very sensitive.

He's incredibly driven.

He's honest.

He makes cracking brownies!

notnowbernard · 14/02/2011 10:18

Nice idea Smile

I love DP because:

He is gorgeous and I still fancy him loads

Despite above physical attraction, he never gives any indication EVER that he's miffed about lack of bedroom activity (thanks, co-sleeping breast-addicted 6m old DS Grin)

He is a brilliant Dad

He is the most socially able person I know, and is just excellent at making people feel at ease

He is always at the centre of the action at parties etc

He loves me

He doesn't give a flying fuck that the house is always a tip

He frequently comes home from work and proceeds to cook me a lovely dinner

I could go on Smile

StealthPolarBear · 14/02/2011 10:20

"he will sometimes admit h has a point" should have been "I have a point", obviously

RobynLou · 14/02/2011 10:22

I love DH because he spent hours settling 10 day old DD last night, just bringing her to me for feeds then taking her away again, so as I could have a decent nights sleep.

he's an amazing caring sexy wonderful man who works so hard to make our home a happy one.

RudeEnglishLady · 14/02/2011 10:47

He has very good morals and ideals
Says what he thinks(ok, thats not always fun!) and never lies
Hardworking and very ambitious
1000 watt smile
Bit shy outside of work but joins in and everyone likes him
Very, very funny
Always got something to chat about
Listens to me
Thinks I am a brilliant parent (thats such a compliment to me)
Very loving and playful with DS

He's just turned 40 and feeling his age a bit so I need to remember to tell him all this. Nice thread!

JaxTellersOldLady · 14/02/2011 10:54

I love my DH because

he loves me no matter what; when I am a cow, he understands why and doesnt judge me. When I had PND/PTSD he was there all the time just doing things to make life easier.

When I was out my face on morphine and diazepam for my agonising back problem and spent a fortune on bizarre and wacky xmas pressies online shopping he just laughed and brought them all upstairs. Never once getting cross, he just bought 'proper' pressies for everyone to go alongside mine.

He supports me in everything that I do.

He re organised his entire work schedule for his very very demanding job to look after the house, children and dogs so I could drive up to Scotland last week to see my very ill father in hospital. I am still in Scotland and he then drove with kids and dogs on Friday to see us, and my family to give me support, then drove home yesterday.

I just adore my husband, he works hard for our family and never moans when I spend money on frivolous things. Grin

There is far more, but as I am overly emotional at the moment I will end up doing a huge slush fest. Blush

Grandhighpoohba · 14/02/2011 11:42

Because he is beautiful, inside and out.

Because he is my best friend, who I can always be me around.

Because where he is, is home.

Because he is a great dad.

Because even when things aren't perfect, I know that we can work things out.

Plus, he has a great arse!

Quodlibet · 14/02/2011 12:04

Because he is kind, thoughtful, loyal, generous and funny.

Because he's wonderful to live with, treats me as his absolute equal, does at least 50% of the housework and cooking, is financially responsible (oh the romance, but it's important)

Because he is extraordinarily talented and his creations often make me cry with how insightful and tender and moving they are.

Because his drive and commitment to his work match his talent, and it's quite awe-inspiring.

Because he's incredibly supportive of my work, and he always shows his faith in it when I'm at a low ebb or frustrated or feeling incompetent.

Because he looks after me when I'm ill or down and brings me a cup of tea in bed nearly every morning

Because he's just a beautiful human being and we understand each other on a level that's very special to me.

lilacisinlove · 14/02/2011 22:12

He loves me, and tells me so every day.

He tells me I'm beautiful and he's proud to be with me.

He respects me more than anyone has ever done, and I respect him enormously.

We're amazing in bed Blush.

He gets along with everyone.

He is always polite and friendly to waiters, taxi drivers etc.

He treats me like a princess, and is still getting used to me making him feel special, but loving it so far.

I always hated the expression 'my other half', until I met him.

He is the love of my life.

Because despite being quite capable of shouting when he's angry, he has never ONCE so much as raised his voice to me.

He is paralysed by the idea of buying me a gift, so fearful is he of getting it wrong.

He tells me off if I neglect myself.

He backs me to the hilt when he thinks I'm right.

He'll disgree most strongly if he thinks I'm wrong.

He's beautiful ..... seriously, one of the most luminous, expressive faces you've ever seen.

But he's not here Sad

He's forty miles away.

Annpan88 · 15/02/2011 16:14

Brilliant idea!

I love DP because when I told him I was pregnant (unplanned) he was over the moon and said he had everything he ever wanted

Because he gives me a kiss last thing at night, first thing in the morning and many times inbetween.

Tells me he loves me all the time

We don't always agree but we never go to bed angry.

Because he always has faith in me

and just because:)

QueenStromba · 15/02/2011 18:59

I love my DP because:

He really understands me and I can be myself completely with him.

He's just as silly as me (which is very silly - we have countless silly in jokes).

He tells me he loves me and that I'm beautiful several times a day and means it (even though I could do with loosing a few stone at the moment).

He really appreciates the things I do for him and is always saying that he's really lucky to have me.

He's really affectionate and gives me lots of hugs and kisses.

We're very compatible in bed.

Last night he woke me up with a cuddle because I was having a nightmare and whimpering in my sleep.

davidtennantsmistress · 15/02/2011 20:03

because he's him, no more no less, lots of reasons but basically cos he's him. kind thoughtful, generous, giving, caring. list is endless.

a biggie though is every sat he'll let me lay in while he plays with DS and I have the 30 min lay in we seem to do (it's not on the clock or anything but usually the other's only half an hour up after the other one)

plus it helps that sexually I fid him really hot & we're on the same wave lenght where that's concerned. as mel B put it - 'we can be real perverts together' :o

CheerfulV · 15/02/2011 20:13

'Because where he is, is home' - good one. That sums it up, for me. He is 'right', being with him feels right and when I look into his eyes I know him on some level I can't put into words. Everything about him feels like home.

Plus of course he is witty, gorgeous, makes me laugh all the time, is sweet, thoughtful, committed to personal growth and bettering himself, and is fucking fantastic in bed [blush Grin

onelastchance · 15/02/2011 20:41

OMG - is all this really true?! It's beautiful, amazing and i'm a bit jealous Blush

CheerfulV · 15/02/2011 20:52

onelast - yeah, but we're choosing not to moan about the snoring, etc etc etc Wink

roomonthebroom · 15/02/2011 21:41

He is a great dad to DD who also loves him to bits. He takes her out for a few hours every weekend so I can have a bit of time to myself and comes home bearing curry.

He takes DD to school most mornings so I don't have to walk up the very steep hill with my dodgy knees, even though I know he'd like to be in work earlier.

He works really hard to make his business successful so that I could give up my job and start my own business. He is SO confident in my ability to make it work it scares me.

He tells anyone who will listen that his business wouldn't be anywhere near as successful as it is if it wasn't for my support, and gives me half of his earnings as he thinks it is 'only fair'. He never questions what I spend them on either :o

He has never commented on my weight and tells me I'm gorgeous.

He has come to every single appointment I've had for the our IVF treatments, even if I was just getting a blood test. He took me abroad for an operation, paid for it, and didn't question my sanity at any point. He has seen me through each failed treatment, allowed me to grieve, and helped me to pick myself up again.

Possibly the most important thing is he offers to put Voltarol on my arthritic joints without me asking- who said romance is dead, eh? :o

Just to balance it out, he leaves wet towels on the bed, is terrible at getting up in the morning and is quite messy. Ah well, no one's perfect.

maltesers · 16/02/2011 09:50

Because , for the first time in my life he has brought me happiness.
He treats me well, with kindness,, love, consideration , and respect.
He helps around the home, and is patient and tolerant.

Unlike the last 3 total bastards who treated me so badly.!

ONE YES - BUT IT TOOK AN ABUSIVE MARRIAGE AND SEVERAL OTHER HIGHLY ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIPS TO FIND HIM & BE SETTLEd

(oops sorry @ work lol)

to balance it out he also screws up his dirty (ish) clothes in the corner & I have to ask if they need washing, and if he cleans the pots it stops at that - not wiping the tops & table down as well but ah well we can't have it all. :)
