Am just feeling so very lucky at the moment, all around me people are splitting up, being cheated on, doing the cheating and DP and I are just so happy together and planning Xmas happily with no arguments at all!!!! I think we have finally come to an understanding of how to get on and after 7 years together have realised that compromising is definitely the key!!!

We are now planning to get married in May so I feel like I am the happiest girl in the world at the moment!!!!

When I went to bed last night DP was laid diagnal across the bed watching TV, it was freezing and as I climbed into bed I said "why are you laying like that you look so uncomfortable?" and he said "cos I wanted to warm the bed for you as I know you hate getting in when its cold"

I just thought it was sweet

Pass the sick bucket!!!!!

bleurghhhhhhhhhhhhh

Thats lovely to hear.
Compromising is definatley a biggie when it comes to relationships. It's something my dh isn't great at but we try.

You and me both crazydazy

Although he still irritates the hell out of me when he drops his pants on the floor right NEXT to the laundry basket instead of putting them IN the laundry basket, he makes me a cuppa every night and every morning without my asking.

He warms the bed for me too sometimes, or lets me put my iceblock feet on him to warm up.

We are getting married next year too (after 10 years )

QV its lovely isn't it....just knowing somebody loves you, even when you first get up on a morning and look a total mess and you feel all fat when its that time of month just makes you feel very lucky.

Yes I am very loved up at the moment.

Just trying to arrange an Xmas treat for us of a night away, not much chance though as only have his parents who could babysit overnight and we don't like to ask them as they look after the kids whilst I am at work

yes, its a tough one that babysitting dilemma.

Am ultra impressed with DP today. Developed a sudden and unexpected migraine this afternoon - called DP and he came straight home to help sort the kids out for me. He works about 45mins/an hour away.

crimbocrazydazy · 24/11/2005 21:17

Awwww thats really sweet QV he must be in luuuurrrve!!!! Are you feeling better now???

Started hinting heavily to DP about things I want for Xmas and normally he huffs and puffs but has a thoughtful look on his face atm so I'm feeling quite hopeful - must be all this s*x he's getting and

I did by him a rather expensive bottle of scotch for xmas that got delivered today. I gave it to him anyway for being so lovely and will have to get him something else now

You definitely are as soft as me

DP was telling me yesterday how cold he was working outside, so I went and bought him a pair of insulated working gloves and took them to him at work, he was really surprised and very grateful as its so bloody freezing!!!!

OK - My list:

In the morning, whoever is up first puts the toothpaste on the brushes for both of us,

When I'm up first (most days as I like to potter) I have a full glass of OJ, drink half and leave the rest for him next to his packed lunch. (maybe that's just saving on washing up?)

He always locks up at night and sets the alarm (apparently it's a "man's job")

He is a lovely lovely man and I can't wait to leave work (in about 15 mins.....) and see him all weekend!

p.s. 12 years together in March (he was in my English class )

QueenVictoria · 25/11/2005 21:39

awwww. My DP brought home an old coffee/maxpax machine from work today so that when we are having the loft done next week the builders have cups of tea on tap so i dont have to keep making them tea (and washing the cups!)

crimbocrazydazy · 26/11/2005 08:40

ROFL at toothbrushes but HOW SWEET ARE YOU TWO??????

Molton you sound like DP's Mum and Dad!!! Every morning his Dad gets up and puts out a breakfast dish and a cup in readiness of when she gets up.....I thought it was quite funny but now I think its endearing!!!! I think after 40 years together its more of a ritual than a romantic gesture though!!!

I think what DP and I have learnt from them is never to fester over an argument, they don't have big rows or anything like that but when they do argue 5 minutes later they are talking like nothing has happened!!!! I sometimes found that was the problem with DP and I, we always went into a sulk when one upset the other but now we try harder to make things up and swallow your pride!!!!

i just found this thread and wanted to revive it as im feeling very happy today! no particular reason just feeling lucky to have my beautiful children and such an amazing partner

he does lots of things to make me feel happy and special, i was up last night with our baby (8weeks) and it was 3am even though he had to get up for work he got up and got me a bottle from downstairs and gave me a little pep talk - he does this quite alot saying things like you're doing such a good job you're a really good mum and i love you gives me the strength to carry on getting up night after night aswell as the fact i get to hold our gorgeous little baby as she stares into my eyes when im feeding her
