Perfect partner(almost)

[singingmum]

My partner helps with the kids and housework and even cooks dinner when he comes home.We celebrated 10yrs together yesterday and he bought me thorntons chocs and some books I wanted.He has been like this from the beginning and is always there for me when I need him.
He's not perfect if he does get angry or upset he turns into a grump and won't talk about whats bothering him until we watch what women want(strange but this film gets him talking). I wanted to know if there are others like him as most threads seem to have a lot about the faults of partners and the awful way they behave.Am I just lucky or is this a common occurence.

How often do you have to watvch this film?!!

I could have written this myself a couple of years ago. But with the proviso that he was my best friend, made me laugh like no one else, bought me surprise presents, sent flowers, did most of the house work, supported me massively with a mother with Alzheimers, through Sep 11th, having my beloved horse put down, a car crash, two miscarriages etc. What happened? He ran off with a 26-year old and left me with a three-year old and a one-year old. Sorry, ruined your thread. Just v bitter today.

not very to be honest.Use it only when he gets really grumpy.Sex can normally bring him out of it and I admit I kind of like that cure

I think the film thing is..unusual? mind you everyone should be allowed to be stroppy.

So whats the prob then?

I don't thinkt here is a problem - she's saying how lucky she is. Have never seen the film so can't comment ....

sykes,Haven't ruined it at all.I think I've been extra lucky as he was raised by his mum who put up with no nonsense at the same time as spoiling him.He also has major consience and tells me even if he looked at another womans breasts.We've been together since we were 16 and have been through a lot(my family is a disaster)and we went to school together.We've had our bad moments especially after I miscarried and we both suffered deppression but we pulled through.

sykes right there isn't a prob I just wondered if anyone else here had nice things to say about their other halves.Everywhere I look there are bad comments and dadslib isn't exactly inspiring is he.

I'm sorry sykes and I appreciate that you are having a hard time at the mo and what you and your family are going through is heartbreaking. I've seen your posts and have wanted to say something supportive or helpful but I just haven't been able to find the words. But I think your earlier post on this thread was uncalled for and prob quite hurtful to singingmum, I know I would've been upset by it.

Sorry posts crossed, am glad no-one was upset by it.

im glad.

i quite like dl though!!

I didn't mean to cause offence so apologise. Not very rational today.

I like Sykes to bring an air of realism tho!!

(ps how were the poems S?)

Wsm it didn't upset me.I know things can go wrong.?There was a girl I knew who had a relationship at the same time as me and we had our sons within a week of each other.She's now divorced and alone(he had a woman on every street)and my dp and I aren't married but are still very much in love.I know this is a bit gooey.Thanks for your concern.

Thanks, Coddy, perhaps unfair of me though. The poems were lovely - I did post which one we used which the relatives seemed to really like, so hard to get right. Don't mean to hijack the thread. Thanks, Singin mum for being very understanding.

codswallop, just re-read my origional post I suppose it does seem unreal but it's true I'm afraid.Even my grandmother thinks the sun shines out of his backside.The only prob I do have is if we do argue then my mother tells me not to complain as he's a godsend and that I should just be thankful.My dp thankfully doesn't think quite so kindly about my mum,especially since she got drunk at a party once and tried to pinch his butt.He cant forgive her for that

Here I go..

My DH-to-be does the dishes, hoovers, tidies, baths ds, does the garden (I can't coz of my hay fever ), he changes ds's nappies when I can't be arsed to, he takes ds to nursery and picks him up and he bought me the Dido CD the other week just coz I love it!

He's still an prat though.

I cook dinner... and clean things better.

sigh<

To put things into perspective I do work longer hours than him.

Is that prat in a nice way or otherwise M2T?
Sorry sykes haven't been here properly for a few days so didn't know how much hassle you were having.Good wishes to you.

I've one too singingmum, does a lot of the childcare, housework, cooking etc. Cooks when we have guests over. Is great at 'big' cleaning jobs like doing the cooker. Does a great job on the garden etc. And I think there are lots of them out there too!

Thanks - v nice of you. Seriously pleased you're happy and lots of luck. Have a great weekend.

Bigbird,M2T, do you find though that they aren't really very good at cleaning the bathroom?I don't let him do that very often he never seems to be able to get it how I think it should be.

mine doesn't do any housework but is very loving and generous,works too much tho and i wish he didn't,singingmum congratulations on having such a wonderful partner
hugs for sikes and don't worry about your post, it was honest

Thanks Whymummy. Just perhaps not the right place to post it. PS, I lived in Seville for a year (French and Spanish at college). LOVE Spain, particulalry Andalucia and northern Spain.

sykes seville is beautiful!!you must speak good spanish then,do you?

Singingmum - A prat in the nicest possible way.
