I thought I would start a thread on partner/husband appreciation and show that there are some good ones out there after all.

I have been with my Dp for 8 years. We've had our shares of ups and downs but I've never had anyone love me the way he does.

He still calls me beautiful even though I have put on an horrendous amount of weight (in process of losing it) and he's never put me down once in regards to weight or looks ever.

He is an amazing cook and will do chores with me. I am the lazy one in our household!

He buys me little surprises and we have our own thing like he will buy us kinder eggs to get to the toy inside hahaha!

Works hard and we make sure we do things together. Had even passed up sport in past to make sure we have time together!

Of course he annoys the hell out of me and leaves lids off of everything which pisses me off haha but he's a good egg xxxx

He is intelligent but has no common sense what so ever!
He is hilarious without meaning to be.
We have the same morals and standards.
He accepts me as I am, has never tried to change me in any way.
Tells me he loves me everyday.
Currently 30 weeks pregnant and the joy on his face when I told him is something I will never forget.
He works hard yet still helps around the house.
Wouldn't hurt a fly. Literally.
He has a beautiful body.
Always has time for me and family, and my family love him to bits.
He's just the perfect match for me! But yeah... He is also very annoying sometimes too... He NEVER closes his wardrobe doors and eats too much broccoli... thats all I have to worry about haha

He is funny
He always has a plan about something
He keeps me calm
He is very loyal
He loves my family
BUT he can be bloody annoying at times!!

My DH, even though he is a big burly "hard" farmer, will give me a cuddle and help me look when one of my cats is missing and I haven't seen them for an hour - even though they were fine when I saw them last and they were hunting at the end of the garden hence they haven't come in for supper.

He doesn't ridicule me when I am convinced said cat has been eaten by foxes/taken by aliens/hit by a car/lying injured in a ditch, regardless of whether or not they were fine an hour ago. Instead, he makes me dinner, and asks sensible questions like "where did you see her last?, perhaps we can start looking there?". yes, this all happened last night

He is kind, considerate, thoughtful, and looks bloody hot in sunglasses and baseball cap on his tractor

He does drive me mad at times, but everything Scrufhead said about her DH applies to mine too (except I am 14 weeks pregnant). Oh, and mine won't eat broccoli! I could go on for hours, but I'd be boring and look smug.

The good ones are definitely out there.

I love these threads.

He's the kindest, most unselfish man I've ever met. He loves my family and enjoys spending time with them (he's currently trying to persuade my mum to apply to go on Bargain Hunt with him!). He's always willing to try new things and encourages me to do the things I want to do. He tells me I'm beautiful and makes me believe it. He's generous to everyone. He puts me before anything or anyone. He's incredibly funny and makes me belly laugh every day. We can talk for hours about absolutely nothing. He has a strong moral compass. He can sing, he can dance, he has thighs like a rugby player, beautiful eyes and a big bushy beard.

He's definitely not perfect. He's incredibly messy, forgetful, incapable of finding things, even though they're right in front of him and if I glare at him or nudge him to shut up about something, he'll always ask why I'm glaring at him or what I've nudged him for, but he's perfect for me.

He's kind. He's kind to everyone. Especially to me. I'm 5 months pregnant and I can honestly say that he's been a total dream to me this whole time.

He's always on my hormonal, fat, sweaty side, and he has been making the most appreciative noises over my new body that I actually feel pretty attractive (when it could so easily go the other way).

He tolerates and is good humoured about my family, who suck up far too much emotional energy and practical help. He's been hugely supportive of my career and retraining.

He's brilliant with money, and its entirely because of him that we're ok financially even though we don't earn loads. But he's not tight and is always telling me I should treat myself more. No snarky comments if I purchase a new top.

But the best thing about him is that he's excellent at saying the right things. This was from Day 1. I'll whinge about something and he'll respond with some great, funny, supportive line that makes me smile. He has all these great lines that cheer me up. I love that.

That said, he insists on being at least half an hour early for everything and gets very tense when he can't be. If we're setting off on a long trip he wants to go at like 9am, when there's strictly no need to go before midday. This still drives me mad, but I'm starting to get over it.

I could do a long list but my favourite being the way he keeps track of my monthlys and just before I'm due some chocolate appears for me because it's the only time I have or crave it.

It's the little things Grin

scrufhead · 22/06/2014 18:26

It's really not! You would know what I mean if you smelt one of his farts after a broccoli binge butterfly! We've been together around 2/3 years though we were together when we was younger, then split and met again in a club years later :)
