But nothing to do with physical beauty.

I just asked my bf this. I'll give you his answers after just want to gage some other responses first.

You have nice feet.
You're nice to snuggle up with in bed.
I like your company.
Ummm.
Will that do?

cocobean2805 · 27/07/2015 01:16

I'm fantastic at making coffee in the morning.
I always tell him I love him and give him a kiss.
I do things for him that he doesn't even know about to make his life easier.
I smell nice.
I'm the happiest, most optimistic person he's ever known and I've always got a smile ready.

Bonus sixth : "well you used to be very chatty and talkative..until you sound that site (MN) and now I don't hear a peep out of you!"

spottybottycream · 27/07/2015 07:26
  1. Always smell nice
  2. Make me laugh
  3. Cook delicious roasts
  4. We are very similar
  5. You gave me our little boy.
readyforno2 · 27/07/2015 12:09

He finally got back to me
Your care for our boys and making sure that they never want for anything

Cuddle in to me when you are sleeping

Squeak when you laugh

Always get over it pretty fast when I have done something wrong and love me the same

Do more for my family than I can birthdays etc

Goddess it can only be a postitive thing for people to see what good relationships lool like. Some people have no experience of a Positive relationship. There is nothing wrong with this post here. It is not an aibu topic either.

yummytummy · 27/07/2015 12:19

Actually calleigh i agree with goddess. Its not positive to hear about a good relationship it actually makes you feel even more shit especially as there is no way to know if a so called happy relationship will ever arise. This should be in chat or something.

flanjabelle · 27/07/2015 12:26

Give the op a break. it's a thread about relationships, there is nothing wrong with posting it here. The relationships board does not have a rule that the threads are only allowed to be negative. it's nice to see a positive thread once in a while.

Texted dp, this was his response:

  1. Ur utterly hilarious
  2. Ur the best mum in the world
  3. Ur amazing in bed
  4. Ur an amazing cook
  5. U allways try ur best at everything you do

I feel all warm and fuzzy. I needed that today.

KateBeckett · 27/07/2015 12:33

You're intelligent
You cook amazingly
You let me be me
You're funny
....I can't think of another one.

Hmm dp- shes a jerk
yummytummy · 27/07/2015 12:35

Its so easy to say oh nice to see a positive thread from within the comfort of a secure situation. People who are so lucky don't even realise it and its so easy to be smug

AccordingToOurRecords · 27/07/2015 12:36

  1. I am honest
  2. I have integrity
  3. I always think the best of people first until they prove otherwise.
  4. I protect the ones I love at any cost.
  5. I have limitless love.

And I am teary eyed now. Smile

Branleuse · 27/07/2015 12:40

big tits
compassionate to all the worlds problems
good political views
cute
a good internet debater (roars with laughter)

flanjabelle · 27/07/2015 12:55

Yummy, I'm sorry if you aren't in a great situation, but that doesnt mean others can't be happy and speak about their happiness. it is quite unfair of you to think you can police the relationships board and decide that any thread about happy relationships is 'smug'.

MyGastIsFlabbered · 27/07/2015 13:05

I've only been with my boyfriend for 3 months so he's nowhere near partner territory, but can I play anyway?

Gangie · 27/07/2015 13:32

I txt him as he's a work, he replied:

Your a great momma, best wife, hot/sexy (even though I said no beauty stuff...'!) honest, kind and a great cook Grin

Awww. I luff him Wink (even though he also said in a 2nd txt...,,and u give great head) Shock

MarchLikeAnAnt · 27/07/2015 14:24

DH said I'm: kind, caring, clever, selfless, funny and I love him. Hmm I think he's mixed me up with some other woman Grin

FolkGirl · 27/07/2015 14:35

Actually, I'm single, having a tough few days emotionally, and with little chance of change in the future for a number of reasons.

I like reading threads like this.

They're not smug, they're happy. I like seeing that other people are happy and that good relationships do exist for some people.

If other people don't like it, they don't have to read the thread and should go and piss on somebody else's chips somewhere else.

Chipshopninja · 27/07/2015 14:58

I just text mine to ask him, he's at work though so may be a while before I get a response

If it's not
1 boobs
2 boobs
3 boobs
4 boobs
5 boobs

I will be very surprised (and pleased!)

Chipshopninja · 27/07/2015 15:07

That was quick!

He says:

Your kindness

You make me laugh so much

How much family means to you

How good you are as a Mum

How amazing you are in bed ??

Your eyes (I know that's a cheat but still, it's the first thing I noticed about you!).
-------

In feeling all soppy now
Sorry if this thread upsets people, but if agree with what has been said above, it's a relationships board so it should include the good and the bad (and the ugly)

Mine said -
Great SOH

You just make me happy Smile Ahh bless

wickedwitchofwaterloo · 27/07/2015 17:13

My OH said:

So 5 things are.
You're kind hearted and warm
Everyone finds you easy to get on with
Good taste in movies
You put up with me
You're quite relaxed and you know what you want

Which is quite sweet Grin

wickedwitchofwaterloo · 27/07/2015 17:22

I like that a) he likes my taste in films and b) that it's an important quality to him. Ha.

miniHovis · 27/07/2015 17:23

Mine said

Intelligent
Amazing in bed
Funny
Bubbly very loveable

Aww I feel all mushy now. It's a relationships board which means it's not just for negatives

TheLastCarnival · 27/07/2015 18:12

I am in the crappiest relationship imaginable, I don't think that in the 28 years I have been with my husband that he has said anything even half as nice as the things others have posted, and any compliments I have ever received are usually backhanded or accompanied by a but...

And yes, it is difficult to read this thread looking from that perspective but it also gives me hope that maybe some day I will find the courage to leave and perhaps have a relationship with someone who does say nice things about me and to me.

So I say enjoy the compliments and the warm fuzzy feelings and don't let the fact that others are not in the same place as you deter you from posting. We should celebrate the good in our lives, it helps us get through the bad.
