10 things you love about your husband??

120 replies

Evie79 · 28/06/2012 20:30

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?

Ooh, yes Mal I think you're on to something there. it's not that my DH smells good, exactly, it's that he smells right.

I vaguely recall hearing somewhere that there's some kind of DNA-information in the pheremones, which is why some people (often with complimentary/different bits of DNA, maybe?) smell particularly attractive.

Of course, this could all be bollocks. I can't even remember where I heard that! But I do know that DH smells dreamy, and not in a Tommy Hilfiger/lynx kind of way. It was one of the first things I thought about him! :)

I know Blush he didn't panic to my face I did though

OwlsOnStrings · 29/06/2012 19:38
  1. Forearms
  2. He is deluded. Can look at me 2 stone overweight/9 months pg/spotty/ungroomed and still not believe his luck.
  3. He thinks my interesting, but very un-lucrative, chosen walk of life is wonderful, and beams with pride every time he talks about it.
  4. If I look him straight in the eye for longer than a couple of seconds it Does Things to my, er [bush]
  5. We have the same sense of humour, possibly to the point that nobody else would have had us anyway.
  6. Can read each other's minds.
  7. After dd2 was born, when I was too weak to clean myself up, he helped me walk into the shower and gently washed all the blood off me.
  8. Doesn't complain when I warm my feet on him every night.
  9. Treats my elderly Mum like his own.
  10. Bloody good at his job, which is highly technical and I have a bit of a perv about that

  1. He loves me unconditionally, 'warts and all'! He tells me he loves me every day and has done for the last 25 years
  2. He has never let me down - i know that I could rely on him whatever and he has proved this on many occasions
  3. We have the same sense of humour - nobody understands me or can make me laugh as he can
  4. We are so close we can read each other's minds/finish each other sentences (sad but true!)
  5. He is a wonderful father to our DDs
  6. He has a deep, sexy voice (and other attributes but not for mention here)
  7. If I unexpectedly catch the same train as him, when he sees me, his face will 'light up'
  8. He chops vegetables etc like a pro (and is also a good cook)
  9. He is generous - I know that he would give me or the DDs anything, but he always tips generously (a complete giveaway - never trust a man who is mean with tips!)
10. He has unfailingly good manners to everyone and is a complete gentleman 10a He is very intelligent and well informed: we always have interesing discussions and never run out of things to say

There are some wonderful men out there, and women, lovely thread.

He is a really lovely dad to our girls
He cooks often and well
He is kind to his and my family

I am actually struggling beyond that which is quite telling, perhaps I am an ungrateful cow and the three points above are more than enough or should be.. Hmmmm
