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.

Hace muchos anos que estudio espanol. Think that says it all - no my Spanish is AWFUL.

... and he's not allowed to touch the bathroom! Thats myyyyyy job. I'm a bit obsessed about that.

sorry singing mum,last one i promise
sykes escribeme si quieres y practicamos

I know the feeling M2T.I myself have a bathroom cleaning obsession,but when I was in hospital extremely ill I came home and just wanted to re clean it as it was not pleasant.I was supposed to be resting.

Muchas gracias, Whymummy.

hello singingmum so glad you have an almost perfect partner.

My dh (yes I do take the mick out of him) but he does childcare, works hard and does some things around the house with a big foot up his bum. But I love him for what he is and that is all that matters.

sykes another perfect one will come along one day hugs xxx

I love my hubbie to bits but he doesnt do any housework where am I going wrong......

Mine is sensitive, supportive, intelligent, funny, my best friend, a fab dad, does LOADS of housework and does it well BUT I discovered the other day that he only cleans his teeth at night if he thinks we're likely to....well, you know....

Since our DS was born 2 weeks ago, my DH couldn't have been more help. He does the night feeds, all of the housework, brings me tea/meals in bed and is an all round trouper. I love him more than ever at the moment. Because believe me before DS was born he didn't even know where I kept the bin liners!!!

Blu, have just read your post, sorry but I can't get my head round that at all. Still sort of laughing/being horrified.

Me too, Wilty, me too! The worst thing is that as we have a typical working-parents-of-toddler sporadic sex life, his teeth must be in serious danger of falling out!!!!
Perhaps he doesn't qualify under 'almost' perfect, at all!

Yes! He told me, as if it was normal! It's still a shock to me as it was only this week. To think that he keeps our kitchenfloor in better condition than his own teeth!
Do you think i need professional counselling on this one?

he used to sniff his underpants to see if he could wear them for a second day, but i discovered that, and put a stop to it...

And before you ask, I found out about that when he needed a second opinion one day!

ROFL. Need to put him through the carwash.

My DP is lovely too. I think about the nicest thing he does is if he's bought me flowers for no reason and I'm not in when he gets home, he puts them in a vase on the table for me. And he claims he's not very romantic!

He does nag me tho. Spent 9 months at home with DS when I went back to work and became an accomplished SAHD - and has not dropped the nagging habit!

(also if he has a shower at night I know what he wants.....) does shower other times tho and at least he's clean!

Oh Blu...

I needed cheering up....

your posts made me laugh...

Tom ... sorry you are having a bad time ... Personally I wouldn't leave my son with my DH with a broken foot as it wouldn't be fair on either of them but hey ... that's me!

I am lucky to have my DH too although he is far from perfect. He is crap with money ... has a short fuse and snaps easily (although everyone we know thinks he is the calmest person in the world) ... plays too much cricket ... is really bad at talking through things (thanks to his totally crap parents) and doesn't quite understand my need to talk things over ...
But ... he is a great father ... comes home to do bathtime every night if he can ... gets up in the morning to give DS his breakfast ... lets me lie in most weekends ... does his share of washing and pretty much all of the ironing ... is a fantastic cook and will do anything 'housey' that I ask him to do (hoovering, cleaning bathroom etc) if I ask him.

Well if you will indulge in reckless pastimes like skateboarding you must expect a broken foot and an unsympathetic dp every now and then

PS - re earning less than half the household income - does she work less than half the hours?

Tom - Will you marry me?

I've got the Registry Office booked anyway for 3pm next Friday and you sound like a much better catch.... I mean........... You can EVEN make balloon animals!
