Ask your partner to say 5 nice things about you

[Belaforreal]

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.

[Fissues]

"I'll get back to you..."

[NoisyOyster]

Maybe reading nice things for a change goddess is a good thing it's not the "evil men / women / partners are bastards in relationships" board y'know

I got;

I always make him a morning cup of tea
I'm kind
I'm an adorable poppet
I'm so utterly clumsy (think he means that in a funny way!)
I'm his lobster (think phoebe-ism from friends)

Awwww

[CatthiefKeith]

Dh said

You are kind
You are caring
You are funny
Your clumsiness is endearing
You are clever

[absterfabster21]

Good mum
Funny
Good cook (then he laughed... )
Organised
"You like to keep stuff clean"

Who says romance is dead...

[MarkRuffaloCrumble]

I said "Can you say 5 nice things about me?"
He replied yes.

I asked him to elaborate and he said he'd text them to me, as the kids are sitting here, so I immediately thought they'd all be bedroom related!

Text said:

"1) you are thoughtful and courteous
2) very funny and witty
3) clever and interesting
4) nice tits ahem.....generous and kind hearted
5) great listener

This is technically 9"

[wickedwitchofwaterloo]

Awwww, NoisyOyster I love he said the lobster thing!!

[MarkRuffaloCrumble]

Chipshop sounds like my DP - I thought my list would be

BJs
BJs
BJs...etc

Was pleasantly surprised!

[MarkRuffaloCrumble]

TheLastCarnival do take heart from all this.

Up until 3 years ago I was also in a crappy relationship of 14 years but when I finally got the courage to leave I found a wonderful new DP who obviously thinks a lot of me and doesn't 'joke' about me being fat or unattractive.

[ShelaghTurner]

He's thinking hard...

[wickedwitchofwaterloo]

Has anyone's OH asked them to do the same back for them?

[ShelaghTurner]

Lovely, lets me have anything, helps me get dressed, makes lovely dinners and is great at working.

That's was 7yo dd1. DH failed miserably and couldn't think of anything

[TheWoollybacksWife]

I got:-

1. You're a competent driver
   

1. You are an efficient mother
   

1. You understand the rules of cricket
   

1. You appreciate that Rugby League is better than Rugby Union
   

1. You are good at quizzes
   

Romance is alive and well chez Woolly. He should have mentioned that I have a fabulous sense of humour

[MsDragons]

I'm a good mother, die, die die (I hope the die die die bit was his computer game)
When I set my mind to things I'm dedicated to them.
I'm a big mumsnet fan
I'm considerate and unselfish
I'm creative and do good "arty farty stuff" with the dds

[MyGastIsFlabbered]

I got:
'Fun. Kind. Tender. Strong and like minded'
2 minutes after asking.

[LemonPied]

Kind
Patient
Intelligent
Caring
He struggled to get to five until he came out with that I'm loving.

[JAPAB]

I'm organised, punctual, and I always have a pen.

Not really, but I'd like someone to one day notice and compliment me on these.

[LookAtMeGo]

Loving, kind, very supportive, inspirational and a more than capable mother

[Chipshopninja]

Your loyalty and long lasting friendships

Before he sent the list he said: "There are many so these are not in order of favourite". Awwww!

[RedXan]

I messaged my DP to ask, expecting a little while before a response. To my surprise he replied within a a few minutes!
