10 things you love about your husband??

[Evie79]

I'm trying to find an anniversary card for my husband and chose one that you personalise. The theme is 10 things I love about you and you have to write your own things. Is it dreadful I couldn't think of more than 7? Can most people think of more than 7 things they love about their partners?

I am loving this thread. My I be so bold OP, as to add a simple song that covers it for usl?

I know exactly where you are
I know exactly what you do
I remember you
I remember you

I know exactly what you'll say
You'll say the only thing that's true
I remember you
I remember you

I know exactly where you'd be
You'd be exactly where I am
I remember you
I remember you

We go on and on
I remember you

Yeah girl

Kind
Generous
non judgmental
intelligent
usually understands me
lovely eyes
Looks good in shorts, lucky as worn most of year
Better parent than me often
feminist in many ways
likes hugs

Not read others will now. Trying not to mentally list 10 annoying things!

1. He is very principled and always does the right thing, no matter what the cost
2. He is very kind
3. He is a devoted and really patient father to our kids
4. He expects to take an equal share at home, so gets on with stuff without comment
5. He takes over the childcare when I have to travel for work, also without comment or complaining
6. He is fit! Good body..
7. He is great in bed

8 He makes a massive effort with my friends and family (slight exception of my mother) even when they wind him up (see previous) 9 he is totally supportive of me and what I do 10 he does not sound from this list like that annoying man I was bickering with earlier about the state of the kitchen, must focus on the Bigger Picture.

What a lovely thread.

Awwww, this is a nice thread :)

My OH is rather great.

1. He has a gorgeous smile.
2. He makes me laugh a lot.
3. He is a wonderful father.
4. He is reliable and trustworthy.
5. He is an excellent present-buyer/surprise-plotter.
6. He is creative and artistic.
7. He is extremely tolerant.
8. He's very good to his parents and to mine.
9. He has beautiful shoulders and arms.

10. He's a cunning linguist ;)

OK, so having read all these whose dh would you have if you didn't have yours? (and it wouldn't mean being OW etc etc obs).

I think I fancy yours waterlego.

I honestly could not be with another man after my DP. He has set the bar far too high!

Awwww slam, I am flattered

I would quite like one of the musical ones. Mr Lego, for all his wonderfulness, can't sing a note. And I quite admire fruitpastille's short-wearing feminist.

He gives good head

1. Kind
2. Loving
3. Supportive
4. Gorgeous to look at
5. Funny
6. Hardworking
7. A great dad
8. Loyal
9. Reliable

10. Spontaneous

He cuts the grass when I'm at work
He takes the bin out for me on Monday mornings if he stays over
He insists on paying
He always says that he likes what I'm wearing and that I look great (convincingly)
He understands that my kids come before him for me and respects my space for other friends
He laughs at my jokes and makes me laugh
He thinks about what I would like and tries to do things that make me happy
He is coming over to give me and my kids a lift to the station on Sat morning even though he'll have worked the night-shift all night (just cos he wants to see me before I go away on hols).

Crikey!! I'm going soft..

Of course...

He is tall
He smells nice
He is sexy
He always wears nice shirts
He is always on time
He never grumbles when I'm not!

He can cook
He does the ironing
He rarely sweats
He is fabulous in bed
He loves our children
He gives up time to help others
He donates platelets as often as possible
He has no temper
He says some words in a funny way that makes me laugh
He understands me
He's good at DIY
He's handsome
He's got good taste in music
Snooker, GP and the rare footie match are his only tv demands

(before anyone thinks I'm soft, there are almost as many things that piss me off!)

Omigod... am I on the right board?

he hasn't breached the injunction restraining him from 'assaulting, molesting or interfering with me' for ages, probably doesn't know it wasn't for life

he is rarely in the same country as me

but best of all are the lovely children we made, can't not appreciate that

FAOD...I wasn't talking about my husband...
That would have been a very short list...!

(1) He makes me laugh and laugh about the silliest things.
(2) He's kind. He cares about other people.
(3) He adores DS.
(4) He does about half the parenting.*
(5) He does about half the housework.*
(6) He is absurdly good in bed.
(7) He's a great cook and always into trying out new recipes.
(8) He has the most dreamy eyes of anyone I've ever met.
(9) He's a feminist.
(10) He has completely amazing legs.
(11) He puts up with my family but steps in when he thinks they're guilt-tripping me or being overbearing.
(12) He supports me in my work.
(13) He likes holding my hand.
(14) He thinks I'm sexy, beautiful and amazing when pregnant/breastfeeding/wrestling a bawling toddler, and tells me so.
(15) He has the same kind of aspirations for our life as I do.
(16) He rants and argues politics with me.
(17) He gets up in the night with DS more than his share, "because you're so tired, love."
(18) He doesn't take me for granted.
(19) He looks good in a suit, but not like a suit.
(20) He encourages me in my hobbies, including making sure I have time off from DS to pursue them.

I could keep going. Obviously there are at least as many things about him that I'd just like to change a teeny bit, or which drive me up the wall ... but in general, those are the first 20 I could think of.

*I say "about" because on any given morning/day/week one of us might be taking a break and the other picking up the slack. But we both pay attention and it evens out. The key thing is that he doesn't think it's my job. He thinks it's our job.

1. Generous
2. Sensitive
3. Funny
4. Great cook
5. Great dad
6. Reliable
7. Gorgeous
8. Great provider

This is a great thread - I think it has made me people stop and think about how much they love and respect their partners which probably isn't done enough...

In no particular order...

1. He can make me smile no matter how fed up I may be.
2. He looks adorable when he's asleep.
3. He can make/fix virtually anything.
4. He's incredibly, thoughtfully moral.
5. He brings me flowers just because.
6. He never gets annoyed with me, even when I'm really annoying.
7. He always makes me proud when we're out in public.
8. He giggles when I tickle him.
9. He makes me feel safe and loved.

Aw, now I think about it, my DH is fab.

1. He gets up with ds2 every morning because I'm a troubled sleeper and am naturally foul early in the morning
2. He looks gorgeous in a suit, stunning in a dinner jacket and as for the kilt-phwooar!
3. He is the only person in the world who makes me laugh so hard that I start snorting. Bonus is he thinks I'm hysterically funny too
4. He took ds1 on as his own completely, to the extent of providing equally for him with ds2 in our wil
5. When we have a glitch in our relationship (like now with him working crazy hours and I barely see him), he listens to my concerns and acts on them 6)He's tall, dark and handsome
6. He thinks I'm sexy even when I'm wearing fluffy dressing gown, thick socks and unattractive pjs 8)He deals with all the finances because I hate doing it 9)He has the best legs ever and a rather lovely bottom
7. Even though I'm 5'8", when he cuddles me I feel dainty and safe
