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?

Wow, what a lovely thread!

1. He's always calm and won't argue just discuss even if I feel like a big shouty childish row
2. He listens and tries to make changes
3. He is a brilliant dancer
4. He laughs very loudly to himself, esp when watching TV, which makes me smile.
5. Hes lovely to his parents
6. He is tall, slim good looking with broad shoulders :)
7. He is very proactive, practical & ambitious
8. He never moans about dealing with everything with my car from insurance to filling washer bottle cos I'm too lazy
9. He is totally soppy over our puppy & can't wait to be a daddy.

10. He thinks to tell me he loves me & fancies me when I feel unloveable & unfanciable.

I feel for UL and others too. Just to let you know, don't give up. I would struggle to think of more than two things about my first husband. Sometimes you have to have a bad one so that you know what a good one looks like!

But annoying about spiders though, doesnt really believe in phobias

Tried to tell him that's why I got married, but he doesn't believe me.

he is the kindest man i know
makes me laugh
good at sex
very handsome
ace father
makes me feel gorgeous[even though i am not]
very supportive
lovely arms
he's a fab son in law and has always been very good to my family
he is very..capable-can do pretty much anything he turns his hands to

UL
I should say I could probably think of a much longer equally long list of things that drive me crazy about my proactive & ambitious / bossy boots DH!
Sometimes it's really good to focus on the positives, keep looking under rocks, discarded towels, dirty washing etc, they're there somewhere!

1. His silly sense of humour
2. He's a brilliant dad to our young daughter
3. He does way more washing up than me!
4. He's always up for trying new things and going places
5. He's clever and very good at what he does, something I could never get my head round in a million years - I have massive respect for his abilities
6. His generosity
7. Just my type - tall and slim, long hair, perky bum
8. He's easygoing and patient even when he doesn't really understand someone
9. He always tells me how much he loves me and how beautiful he thinks I am

10. He instinctively respects women and has no time for macho bullshit

HaHa QueenofS

Oh yes, UL, these men have their 'bad stuff' lists too.

brings me tea every morning
great dad
still fancies me
walking dictionary
sporty
has lovely friends
loves his granny
lovely voice
good hair
buys me silk nighties

1 He is simply the nicest person I've ever met. I get conversations repeated back to me of people who have met him for the first time 'oh isn't Mr Marsh a nice bloke'.
2 he is just the right balance of blokish (likes rugby) and sensitive (cries at end of sad films).
3 he always knows what I'm thinking & can tell just from looking at me if I'm upset about something.
4 he does the household chores I hate like the hoovering and ironing. And all the driving.
5 he is calm and unruffled at all times. I've only seen him cross once, when someone called him a liar.
6 he is completely at ease with himself & doesn't engage in wanky competitive behaviour with other blokes (except occasional drinking sessions).
7 he is so tolerant of my annoying/whimsical ways which must be rather trying at times.
8 he is much better in bed than any previous boyfriend. Was a pleasant surprise to find there really are blokes who can last longer than 2 minutes.
9 he brings me tea in bed every day. We used to take turns & somehow it's turned into him every morning not me. Oops
10 he is such a wonderful dad & loves his DD so much it's a joy to see them together.

1. He makes me laugh
2. He love me "just the way I am"
3. He knows just how to cheer me up when Im feeling down.
4. He's gorgeous
5. He buys me chocolate
6. He's a thoughtful lover.

7.He is good with the children

1. He will always back me up
2. He is reliable

10. He is my best friend and I can talk to him about anything.

Not read any of the above posts

1- He's always honest about his feelings
2- He cares about what my feelings are and is respectful
3- He isn't afraid to show me and the children how much he loves me/them
4- He puts up with my OCD but doesn't let me take it too far
5- He's a great cuddler
6- He's understanding of my various 'quirks'
7- He lets me 'monkey' him (I groom him even more ing)
8- He always speaks kindly to me and doesn't shout or raise his voice to me even if I have done something idiotic like set fire to something in the kitchen or given one of the children food they are allergic too
9- He absolutely couldn't, simply couldn't hurt me or be aggressive to me
10- He loves sci-fi too
11- He remembers all our important dates and always gives cards and a small present no matter how tight money is (and they are always meaningful and well thought out)
12- He does equal parenting when at home from work
13- He got up every two hours for 8 weeks when I was expressing for DD1 and prepared everything for me so all I had to do was express while he fed DD1 her bottle then cleared up all the kit (and never ONCE complained about him having far less sleep than me even though he was working full time and I was at home)
14- He looked up how to deal with me having an epileptic seizure when we first started chatting at work just in case I ever had one when he was nearby. I had one a few days after we started going out (triggered by a vomiting bug and he took the day off work to look after me even though we had been going out less than a week).
15- He's sexy (too me at least which is what counts) and I love the way he looks and dresses.
16- He always has faith in me and never puts me down or disparages what I do, either in the home or with my studying/volunteering
17- He has just reshuffled his afternoon so he can attend DD1's sports day (I forgot to tell him it was today) as she was disappointed he couldn't be there

and many many other things

thanks
but it's a bit deeper than that
these threads are good for making me realise
might spur me into some kind of action

carry on ladies, sorry for interrruption

1- he's very funny, he makes me and others laugh daily.
2- he's a brilliant dad to our sproglets and he'd agree to a 3rd if I'd just make my mind up!
3- he's gorgeous
4- he smells lickable when he gets ready of a morning
5- he is very ready to admit to his faults
6- he's genuine
7- he can be very extravagant
8- the night of our wedding he stole a plate of bacon sandwiches and hid them in our room, producing them after I was flopped in bed exhausted and starving after dancing the night away an neglecting the buffet table. That, right there made me sure that he was my soul mate.
9- he let's me have a lie in whenever I want
10- he loves me!

I could put lots! but he isn't my dh.

1. He listens to me. When I express concerns about things, he doesn't dismiss worries and gives his support. Its one of the best feelings in the world, knowing someone is on your side.

1. He makes time for my kids. Takes an interest in them such as phoning on birthdays or taking my ds shopping.

1. He drives hundreds of miles to see me and stays as long as he can.

1. He helps me without being asked, such as doing the housework when I am on the school runs or cooking dinner for the kids or for us.

1. He brings back things he knows I like when he goes shopping. Without being asked. Aside from whatever it is, I know he thinks about me which means a lot.

1. I can get insecure and have 'wobbles' from time to time but he doesn't give up on me.

1. He is affectionate, doesn't mind holding my hand or kissing me when people are about. He will put his arm around me when watching tv.

1. He is responsible and doesn't put up with nonsense. He isn't afraid to express his opinions.

1. He has a similar sense of humour and can make me smile even when I am having rubbish days.

10. He cuddles me at night when going to sleep and in the morning.

That's alongside the obvious reasons like the fact I think he is the most gorgeous man on the planet, smells wonderful and is generally just rather fantastic.

We wrote our own vows when we got married, and I'd read a tip somewhere that a good place to start when planning what you want to say in your vows is to make a list of 10 reasons you love each other... so I did! And here it is:

1. I love his kind and ?gentlemanly? attitude towards everybody (me, friends and family, strangers) - he?s always very polite, generous with the time he gives to people, and very thoughtful about other people?s feelings; you can tell he?s genuinely upset if he thinks he might have accidentally offended anybody.

2. I love that he takes an interest in the things I care about and enjoys listening to me talk about stuff I?m interested in, and he?ll watch me work on various projects with genuine fascination and interest.

3. I love his sense of humour; he has a natural ability to come up with a witty comment or silly joke on the spot and is always making me laugh; he manages to push the boundaries with certain jokes or remarks without ever actually being offensive.

4. I love that he?s incredibly intelligent, and has a way of explaining really complicated things in a way that I can understand them without ever making me feel like I don?t measure up to him.

5. I like that he?s never once asked me ?do you love me??, but will often ask me ?do you know how much you?re loved??

6. He does a lot of small things that make me feel incredibly loved and cared for - like the ?mixtape? he made for me just after we met, making a cake for my birthday, walking me to my bus stop before work every morning even though it?s only at the end of the road, washing my hair for me, etc - and if I ever comment on how thoughtful or romantic he has been, it?s clear that he doesn?t believe he has done anything exceptional.

7. I love that he has a very rational, scientific mind. He?ll never make a snap judgement about anything, or refuse to change his opinion in light of new information. He will always give any subject matter a lot of thought before deciding what opinion he holds, and is always willing to (politely) debate an idea with other people.

8. I love that he?s always completely open and honest about his feelings, and encourages the same from me - although if I?m not ready to talk about something that?s bothering me, he doesn?t mind waiting til I?m ready to bring it up, and will just give me a cuddle instead to remind me he?s on my side. He gives me freedom to be myself, and trusts and respects me completely. I never feel like I need to censor myself around him.

9. I love that we share so many interests, and hold very similar opinions on most things.

10. I love that he is so patient and kind, has a wonderful sense of fun, and is a brilliant teacher all make it clear to me he would be a great father, as well as a wonderful husband.

Aww Fringe, I love your number five! Very sweet!

Hope reading here helps in some way UL, though it must smart a bit too. It's never to soon to take action. Good luck and un-MNy hugs.

1. He makes me laugh
2. He knows a lot about things that I haven't a clue about
3. He is very generous
4. He is great Dad and does lots with the kids
5. He works very hard so that we can have a comfortable life
6. He encourages me at my hobbies and interests
7. He is a great cook
8. He rubs my back and feet for me every night
9. He is very affectionate and makes me feel loved

10. He puts up with me despite me being me!

1. He makes the best cup of tea ever.

1. He smells absolutely amazing - I could breathe him in forever sometimes when he's asleep I lie nose to nose with him and just breathe the smell of him in, like you do when you're taming a horse!

1. He is just absolutely gorgeous, sometimes it still amazes me that he is mine.

1. He is my best friend in the world and was a very good friend for a long time before we got together.

1. He always appreciates my cooking, even my 'experimental' dishes.

1. He can't sing a note. Hopeless. Completely flat. Yet his attempts at humming songs for me to guess always sound like Christmas carols, and I love how chuffed he is when I, very very rarely I hasten to add, guess the right song!

1. I love how passionate he is about farming, how it is something his family have been doing for generations and how he is so proud of that, and how it is something that he is so determined to pass on to the next generation.

1. The fuss he makes of our Springer Spaniel puppy, he is so cute with her, I can't wait for the day I can see him with our baby.

1. The fact that he pretends he's this big tough rugger bugger and yet we all know that really he's as soft as anything and would do anything for anyone.

10. That he is so practical and useful and really talented at making things, if anything goes wrong/breaks/I need ressuing from a spider etc he can always fix it, or make something for me.

For all that he drives me round the bend some days and we bicker over the silliest things like breaking the spaghetti up to cook it instead of cooking it whole, wtf?? how am I supposed to twirl it round my fork now?? he is still my best friend and I love him so much sometimes I think there will never be enough time in the world to tell him enough.

I'm not yet married (next March) but I guess this still counts

1. He is super clean & always smells fantastic
2. He is a very generous lover and always ensures I reach the destination
3. He works very hard
4. He's super intelligent but never makes me feel any less than as clever as him
5. He tells me at least once a day he loves me
6. He has a fab body, especially his bum, legs and collar bone bit
7. He's very generous
8. He does house work without being asked
9. He lets me do my crafty thing without complaint and tells me how creative I am even when things go wrong

10. He never complains about the ever growing mess that said crafty thing creates 11. He kisses and cuddles me every day 12. He loves me whatever shape or size I am 13. He puts up with my PMT mood swings 14. He openly adores me 15. He loves my cat Charlie even though he's scared of animals 16. He is sociable & loves to go out. 17. He includes me in almost everything he does (which can be a bit of a pain sometimes....) 18. He loves his family 19. We share the same sense of humour and sense of 'naughtiness' 20. He looks so sexy in a suit 21. He can't wait to marry me & is letting me have most of my own way at the wedding

i wish with all my heart I had an integral husband like DamselinTornDress

...ooooh that has made me laugh

He does not bed hog
He loves me in spite of everything!
He buys me prosecco
Indulges my loathing of anything less than 4*
Deep deep brown eyes
Always does his bit
Appreciates me

3. He puts me before himself ALWAYS
4. His shoulders
5. He didn't panic when we found out I was pg with twins while we had a 3 mo ds
6. His laugh
7. His smile
8. The way he can cheer me up when I'm in the worst mood
9. That he's stuck around for nearly 11 years through thick and thin

10. That he's the father of my ds (soon to be dc)

Now I've done that I'm going to be mosey and read the others (see I'm a good girl I didn't cheat by reading them first )

LadyLilly no 5.

I wonder if the smell/scent aspect is more important than we realise?
The smell of my DH is the most wonderful thing, if he's unwashed then so much the better, it's so sexy, so primal, yet so grounding and it feels like home.
I could nuzzle into his armpit forever, I have to restrain myself from licking him sometimes I always get into bed first at night so I can watch him undress, he says I look like a lion eyeing up a baby gazelle. He may not have the rock hard abs he had at 18 but he's still as sexy as hell to me at almost 50.
