Think it's time for a positive dh/dp thread ...

As there have been so many negative dh/dp posts on here, I think that we should have a positive dh/dp thread just to balance things out a bit and show that not all men are assholes. so ...

I think my dh is great and i wouldn't change him for the world. We've been together for 11 years, and he:

would do anything for me, will help with some housework even though he is out from 6 in the morning till 7 at night during the week. When ds was born he had three weeks paternity leave, he made up all the bottles, did all the hoovering/cooking/cleaning/shopping for first two weeks so that all I had to do was concentrate on ds, he will get up in the night if ds is ill to clear up sick/change sheets etc so I can deal with ds. He spends all his spare time with ds on weekends, he backed out of a house move two weeks before exchange two years ago because I had a last minute change of heart and didn't feel I could go through with it, there's more but this will do for starters. I know that these are the sorts of things that dh's should be doing anyway but it seems that so often they don't, so I just thought that it would be nice for the dh's to get a bit of positive publicity for once. And yes you may all throw up now, lol.

my dh is pretty good, he doesn't help around the house with the mundane things as much as i think he should but he is excellent at diy and saves us a fortune by being able to do that kind of thing himself. last project was chopping down a 25ft laylandiai (sp?), would have cost £500 if we'd got a tree surgeon in. however, we are still trying to get rid of all the branches, bit by bit to the tip. anyone need any logs???

Like Chris Rock said - a man boasts he looks after his kids "What do you want? A fcking biscuit. They're your kids, you should* look after them"
I love my DH to pieces - OK he sometimes needs a gentle prod to help around the house (and sometimes NOT so gentle) but he's a fantastic daddy and my best mate

My dh is the best in the world
he is such a star
works hard and loves me and the kids
He also took on 4 kids from my prev marriage without a second thought and has been a dad to them for the past 11 yrs.

He is loving and caring and I trust my life in his hands.
I love him to bits

great thread wannabe. nice to have something positive, and acknowledge that there are great h/p's out there.

mine is coming home early from work now because i've been sick the last couple of days. he is my best friend - knows me better than anyone else in the world.

and yes, like oliveoil i expect him to do his share of the housework, so he looks after dd for an hour or two every morning before work, does a load of washing, and the washing up. couldn't do without him.

i love my dh so much. i'm always posting on 'dh depressed' threads which sound quite negative, but he's L'Oreal Man - he's worth it.

In particular I love that he; makes an effort to get on with my family; doesn't fly off the handle when I give him constructive criticism ; kisses like an angel; keeps asking me, 'do you want to go out more?' 'do you need more time to yourself?' 'don't you fancy a lie-in?' 'would you like another coffee?'

In my nightmares I'm still married to xh - who is a great bloke in many ways but a hellish husband to me.

My dh is the perfect gentleman. Even tho I've let him down recently he's totally forgiven me and our relationship is better than ever.
He works really hard for us and helps me out no end when he comes home.
He's my best friend in all of the world and has given me everything I will ever need...a beautiful family and a loving home....

ok might need to sneak a text to him now to tell him how much I love him
