(feel free to add your bits about your DH/P's)

-we don't have much but what we have we share - 95% of the time.
-he might go away a lot but makes up for it when he's home
-he did a 24 hour shift with no sleep then came home and stayed up all day to look after Joey so I could have a day to myself and have a lay in - after I'd told him to go to bed
-he treats me nicely - not always the best but better than most
-supports everything I do/want to do - even made a card with me
-makes me laugh, normally at him but still laugh
-brings me bars of choccy just because
-washes up!

he's far from perfect but he's mine, and we work together even thou I can be a total cow to him

jessicaandrebeccasmummy · 06/10/2006 13:00

all your reasons munz hun - bar the washing up - we have a dishwasher but he loads it and empties it.

he also does all the laundry

he plays with the girls SO much more than i do and enjoys it far more than i do

he never moans if the house is a shit-tip when he gets home from work

he wants to stay at home with the kids and supports my decision to go back to work and be the bread-winner

he works for his money, yet lets me spend it.... cant remember the last time he had pennies in his pocket

he loves me unconditionally and doesnt care if we dont have sex for weeks on end

LieselVonTrappDoor · 06/10/2006 13:15

Can we get the Oxford definition of love on here for me please.

Munz · 07/10/2006 09:49

mines well off this list now - i told him on sun night take £20 out of the bank tomorrow (he's away at the mo for 3 weeks) then u can have another £60 when joey's money goes in tueday week - he went up there with fags and £20, so how much did he take - £65, we're now left with the car ins not paid, and he's expecting the £60 on tues - well he can FCUK right off cos I need that for food . he can bloody suffer and have £20 if i'm feeling nice urghhhh! I know it's 'his' money as I don't work but FFS the bills come b4 drinking.

I love mine because:

  • he was absolutely sure about us after first date
  • he puts up with my horrendous mood swings
  • he's got the best legs in the universe. and everything else, thinking about it actually.
  • he always says yes to whatever plan I have got for the day, even when he's tired and rather stay in front of the telly all day
  • he never ever moans about anything, never complains, never criticise me
  • thinks I am beautiful, and super clever etc
  • he is the best dad ever
  • he always complains that I should buy myself more, or more expensive
  • (a bit materialistic this one) he bought me the car I'd always wanted since I was 18!!!
  • he listens to most of what I have to say

[but I am still annoyed that he did not organize anything for our anniversary.]

SpookyMadMummy · 07/10/2006 11:16

I love my dh cos he listens. Even when things are bad. Some days I feel like giving up but he is there.
(And he blows raspberry's on my neck and that makes me laugh)

TheUnholyTrinity · 07/10/2006 11:20

.....because he is so kind and caring yet strongm, he did such a wonderful job teaching our 18 month old to settle herself to sleep in her big bed last night and then got up in the night to do it again and says he will do that for a few more nights till she is used to it and me doing it won't make her just want me again

also he says I'm the most gentle and caring woman he has ever met and couldn't love me more
he works far too hard to keep our lovey house and he is a wonderful loving dadyy to our girls

Whoowhoobewhooooooh · 07/10/2006 16:32
  • He waited on me hand and foot all through the 3 months of my morning sickness and didn't complain (much)
  • He's always trying to be a better person even though he's the kindest, sweetest man I've ever met
-He's pant-wettingly funny but also... -...laughs at my jokes -Likes porn as much as I do
runnyhabbit · 09/10/2006 12:02

I love this thread! I know there are lot of dickheads out there, but there are also alot of wonderful men too, I should know because I'm married to one!
I love my DH because -
He is gorgeous
Got a lush body (did athletics until he was 20ish, and has still got the body )
Works very hard, and very long hours, so I can be a part time SAHM
Doesn't mind me spending "his" money
There's no acting - I can be myself
Took me to Alton Towers for our first date (and borrowed his friends convertible to take us) my face hurt because we had laughed so much through the day
He tells me I'm beautiful, and that he's lucky to have me. (I tell him that I'm the lucky one)
When we've had problems, we've worked through them together, nothing is one sided
We have a great sex life
He is a wonderful dad to DS (and will be to lo no2)

I love him just because he is who he is x

Zippetydoodahzippetyday · 09/10/2006 13:08

I love my DP because.....

Imascaryfairy · 09/10/2006 22:13
  • He is my best friend
- He makes me laugh - He makes me feel good about myself - I felt, and still feel, as though I hit the jackpot when he told me he wanted to spend the rest of his life with me - He is kind and thoughtful (mostly ) - He pulls his weight at home (though sometimes needs a little push.... - He is a wonderful wonderful father, and isn't afraid of showing his affection for the boys - He puts up with me - All our friends look up to him, and always ask him for practical advice

Wow - that was theraputic...thanks Munz!

thelittlestboho · 09/10/2006 23:18

-He's a Calum Best lookalike,lol
-He puts up with my nonsense
-He never stifles my independence
-He is most trustworthy man on planet
-He allows me to be me
-I've never seen him jealous or insecure
-He never judges me
-He thinks I'm beautiful/sexy even after all these years
-He looks great in a wetsuit, grrr!!
-He loves kids and animals, and they love him right back
-Every Sunday, he'll make me a fabulous breakfast

But can I just add, he can be a Class A pain in the ass at times too, but I'll take the rough with the smooth.

harrisey · 10/10/2006 00:29

he is the best daddy in the world ever - even though he still struggles with the concept of 3 kids!!

wow! he is still gorgeous, still all I ever wanted, and better in bed every time ! (which is quite often )

he loves me despite all the awful (and MN does not know the half od it) things I have done in the last few years

because he stands up for me

because we are a unit - he is my basic family structure - alog with the children - now

because he is clever, witty, anomated, informed, intelligent, intellectual, and cares about people

because I have seen a little at first hand about how he behaves as a doctor, especially with the old and the terminally ill - he is just amazing

because he loves me for who I am and what I am

because he has an amazing faith - his serious Christianity (which I hope I emulate but dont think I can meet up to) informs everything he does - he is the most CONSISTENT man I have ever met

because he is gorgeous and fun and loves me and thinks I am beautiful even 5st overweight and is the man I always hoped I would be with fo rever.

I am a soppy old tart really!!

Greensleeves · 10/10/2006 00:43

Because he's the kindest person I've ever known.
Because he understands me without me having to explain, always.
Because he has broad shoulders and a thick skin, and he has been a rock through some of the roughest times of my life.
Because he is a better father than I could ever have designed for my children
Because he is the X-factor ingredient in my children's personalities which jumps out at me from their eyes and says "boo!" and makes me smile with affection sometimes - I love sharing them with him, it is awesome to have made children with someone like him
Because he is always there when the rest of the world has turned hostile
Because I have never had a friend like him
Because he is beautiful, and sweet, and I need him, and I worry about him, and I couldn't breathe without him.
Because if I hadn't met him, I would never have had a real life, with a family, and long-lasting love. I was too much of a nutter, and he is one in a million.
Because he's mine

Flamebat · 10/10/2006 00:53

I went out all day, came back exhausted, grumpy and hormonal and found... a clean and tidy lounge, kitchen ad DDs room

crayon · 10/10/2006 21:47

Because:

He is the most patient, non-judgemental man around
He is soft, gentle and doesn't have to try to see the best in people, because he is naturally kind
He doesn't hold grudges
He is as attractive to me today as when I first set eyes on him
His intelligence amazes me
He can be tough when he wants to be
He makes lovely baby boys!!!
