Five top reasons why I love my DH

[BettySuarez]

1. he makes me laugh on a daily basis
2. he puts up with my erratic sex drive coping with total lack of sex for weeks on end to needing it 3 times a day (without -much- complaint)
3. he's a much better cook than me
4. rarely brings up his PHD as doesn't want to embarrass me about my one level -in home economics-
5. pretends to love the dog as much as I do even though he is really a cat person

And Bec - despite the normally horrible threads on here there are some good men out there

becca me too

I have to add a 6th! He's also an amazing lover! But that's just a given in a relationship!

1. He is one of the kindest, and most moral, people I know
2. He is my "voice of reason" - whenever I am upset, angry or anxious about something I run it by him and he will help me work through it and put it into its proper perspective
3. He supports me in my work, does his fair share round the house, and will take the DCs out so I can have a break
4. He's a wonderful Dad, and I sometimes feel sad for my childhood self that my Dad wasn't as good as he is - even though my Dad was fine!
5. He would do anything to make me happy in bed.

DP of four years

1. He makes me laugh every single day
2. He is silly when I need him to be and serious when I need that too.
3. He fancies me always but is very understanding when all I want is cuddles.
4. He gives the most amazing foot rubs EVER and scritches my back whenever I want him to (which is a lot cuz I am a scritch whore :))
5. He is just the perfect amount of bitchy and we have excellent conversations wherein we sort the world/our acquantainces and families right out ;)

.... and last night when my back was sore he went to the pharmacy for me to pick up my prescription so's I didn't have to get in / out of the car even though he has a chest infection and is on antibiotics

1. He is the love of my life.
2. He is a wonderful father to our DDs
3. He is my shelter in a storm, my friend, lover and partner in life.
4. He loves me even when I am horrible
5. He is the best and most wonderful man in the world

I am very lucky!

1. always makes me laugh (even when i mad!)
2. Understands my past
3. Very bright
4. Shares the same views about life and how to raise a child
5. Is amazing in bed

This thread is just making me see exactly what is missing from my own marriage we have the sense of humour and the kids but failing to find another 3....

"scritches my back whenever I want him to (which is a lot cuz I am a scritch whore )"

:o

Me too!

I'm even worse than usual at the moment because I'm pregnant.

I am with Becarooo on that one :(
However, keep going because it is nice to be reminded of what a loving relationship should be.

1. He is an amazing daddy.
2. He has a fantastic sense of humour.
3. I love his unfaltering belief in me and his faith that I can achieve anything.
4. He is so thoughtful and kind. He does little things that make me :)
5. He has an awesome bottom

I always think questions like this are a healthy discussion topic in your relationship too- ask your DH 5 things he likes about you and talk about it; its nice to hear nice things about yourself sometimes & reflect on how your partner sees you. I told my oh about this thread this morning and he was really touched by what I said (& and he ain't that sensitive normally)

I asked him about my 5 and he said he likes that I'm easy going, I'd never have described myself that way but when he gave me examples, I thought oh yes, I do do that and he does appreciate it. he also wanted to use each one in relation to sex/looks/good at x,y,z in bed which is always a confidence booster when you have just had a baby

satisfiedotter your number 5 tops all others......

Now me

1. He's one of the cleverest people I know, and I really, really seek out and dig clever people. He's much cleverer than I am - and that's not to say, oh I'm some smarty-pants, just he pushes me to think so much more!

1. He's incredibly beautiful - Caucasian / West Indian mixed race with Chinese in there some where - he's just one of those people that looks gorgeous and stylish and totally hot, no matter what he does or wears. Most of the time, I can't believe my luck because not only is his (in my eyes) so utterly gorgeous, but he's always telling me I am gorgeous too.

1. He's super quick-witted and wonderfully eccentric, and doesn't make me feel like a knob when I'm just being me, which is silly and really, really, really odd. Which of course - isn't odd to me - but other partners have in the past made me feel like a strange one. He'll happily play dress up and chase me around the house for hours, enacting plays and made up characters.

1. He fully embraces his inner child, which to me, is the secret of staying young. We have masses and masses of fun together and a lot of the time, it's just wonderful secret silliness.

1. He's really protective, in a really nice way. I grew up with a Dad who never really cuddled me or expressed his emotions, and never went out to bat for me when I was in trouble. For my husband to always be looking out for me, wanting the best for me, caring about MY career, health, friends, hobbies, diet, stress and troubles, and my future...I could weep from how that makes me feel.

I have such gratitude for having met and married him, and for him loving me back. Being with him makes it unimaginable that there isn't someone out there for everyone because we're such a natural fit together. How can it be - there must be a someone for everyone! Not everyone would see what I see in him, or what he sees in me, but the way I feel is that I absolutely could never be without him. So the logic follows...every single one of you has that person too, either with you or somewhere out there.

He switched on the electric blanket when he heard me come in from work in the early hours of this morning. He had to get out of bed and plug it in. He also let me put my cold hands and feet on his toastie body as well. This totally sums him up.

1. He puts up with me and is kind to me, and finds me attractive/sexy even when I don't feel that way.
2. He is tall, in good shape and sexy.
3. He cooks every night and extremely well.
4. He truly loves his children and is a totally hands on father.
5. He can do absolutely anything practical, from fixing a light to building a boat.

1. He tells me he loves me at least once a day which is more than I manage
2. He's fair-minded.
3. He is never petty about money even though he's always been a high earner and I'm dead weight less so.
4. He always smells great, clean, never sweaty.
5. He always makes me laugh, and laughs at my weird humour too.

I like whanfans no. 5

Bettybat your guy sounds great.

My turn, it's nice to have a thread about happiness and love as opposed to all the relationships out there:

1. He tells me he loves me at least once a day.

1. He's caring, supportive and protective.

1. He proposed to me with a bag of twirl bites and the most gorgeous diamond solitaire I've ever seen

1. He loves my DS like his own and embraces his inner child and plays with him.

1. I can see us growing old together with walks on the beach, still holding hands and snogging

1. He's not afraid to hold my hand and sweep me up for a snog in public

I could go on and on, I love him more than life itself, he completes my already brilliant life......

he's had a foot fungal infection left untreated for several years

he has a hairy back and neck

he is lazy about the house

he is an extreme risk-taker such that i fear for our lives each time we get in the car with him

he's v v noisy in everything he does.

i obviously sound rather a bitch, I am not perfect either and am clearly on the wrong thread.

H and I have been through a tough year and as part of our moving on together tell or text each other such lists. I really recommend this to all. It has brought us so close and made us both realise what we mean to the other.
So I love H because:

1. He is still the most handsome geek I ever clapped eyes on - I love a geek
2. Deep down we share the same values and goals
3. The way he is with our DC
4. He makes me laugh more than anybody else
5. We have great sex

scarlet, that's a touching list and don't be embarrassed about the great sex, I@m just but good for you, I think it's essential. V tricky when the chemistry's lacking

1. got he is FIT
2. because we are happy to spend weekends apart sometimes with our mates and know we are happier for it
3. we could be stuck together on a desert island for the rest of our lives and still be happy
4. because he has set up a lovely little home with me and looks after me in it
5. because when looking for cheapo summer holidays he chose one villa on the basis that it looked like a great place to propose (got to stop reading stuff into that..... )
