May I gush about my wife please? She's a very loving person and I have been one of the main beneficiaries of her love for the 40 years we've been married. Her mum is still alive and at 87 my wife loves her for all she's worth. We also have 4 grown up sons who all know how much their mum loves them and appreciate her for it. I was so proud of her when she was nursing our newborns and I sometimes wish I could go back and re-live one day from each of their newborn lives.

In her job she deals with children who have behavioural difficulties. Because of the way they are, they are not the most appealing of children, but she finds the lovely child that is buried deep inside them somewhere and works on that. Only a person with a lot of love and patience can do that, in my view.

At home we have completely opposing approaches to tidiness, but I wouldn't change her and her untidy ways for anything.

I just love the bones of him. I'm not always sure that he deserves it and sometimes I fantasise about punching his lights out, but he's still my favourite adult.

My DH is kind, clever and thoughful. I love him very much. But also he loves me too.
I am agoraphobic and I know he desperately needs a holiday to get away from his own stresses in life but he says being with me is more important than a fortnight away in the sun. I feel sad for him, he needs a break but I feel how much he loves me and it makes my MH issues less important.

This is great. I wanted to start a thread like this about two weeks ago after feeling quite sad at some of the threads on here. I've been married 24 years and get a cup of tea in bed every morning. He sorts out the kids while I have an extra half hour in bed to drink tea and wake up. He's always done all the washing, I don't even know how to use the washing machine. We share other chores. The best thing is he knows how excited I am about Christmas from September onwards and has encouraged me to do decorations in November, usually on my birthday. Last few years though he has wanted me to decorate for Christmas even earlier in November because he knows I love it. I have had to hold him back.

He gets squeamish at anything medical on TV and so do I - but he puts a cushion to his eyes and asks me to tell him when its all over!

He helped me remove nits from my kids hair!!!

He makes me laugh a lot and I know he has always got my back. No one else would put up with me like he does

SleepFreeZone · 06/08/2016 23:04

He loves the bones of me and shows it.
He adores our sons.
He looks after us all.
He is funny and cheerful even though he has health problems.
He never whinges about work or money.
We share the same ethos in life and are both really similar and really different.
He can laugh at himself and doesn't need to big himself up or try and impress anyone. He is just himself.

minifingerz · 07/08/2016 07:48

He works himself into the ground then goes over to his parents to wash his elderly dad and put him to bed.
At home he cooks and does laundry, although I only work part time and our children are at school.
He never reacts unthinkingly, although our DC are very trying (autism and teenage mental health problems)
He doesn't sulk
He has a dry sense of humour
He has beautiful manners
He's kind and thoughtful and affectionate.
His hands are always clean

Good looking too!

My DP gives me a sense of safety and security I have never had before in a relationship. I didn't really know what a real relationship was like before; even though I thought I did.

He tells me he loves me every single day.

I'm genuinely his favourite person in the world.

He's the only man I've ever been with who doesn't have to be prompted when we need items picking up from the shops! :)

He's clever, sweet and endlessly kind. He's also so beautiful that I feel lucky waking up beside him every morning.

He's the light of my life. I couldn't imagine my world without him in it.

AGrinWithoutACat · 07/08/2016 13:09

My DH is currently hovering the house while I am sitting playing on my phone and reading mumsnet threads :)

Creatureofthenight · 07/08/2016 13:16

My DH tells me he loves me every day.
He loves cuddles and kisses, and likes holding my hand
He sings little songs about me.
He doesn't mind if I put my cold feet on him in bed!
He thinks splitting things like housework evenly is completely normal (which, having been on MN for a while, I know is not as common as it should be).

Joysmum · 07/08/2016 13:20

My DH sees us as a partnership and makes it his job to encourage me to be the person I'd like to be.

I look over to see him gazing at me with the open love on his face much the same way I look at Black Forest gateaux!

He recently got a good bonus and immediately transferred half to my current account, no fuss, no drama. We have equal money and equal say in any decisions...although I need to make sure his decision making is as much about wanting things for him as it is about continually putting me first, if I were a bitch I could walk all over him.

TempusEedjit · 07/08/2016 13:47

DH tells me he loves me in both his words and his actions. I've never had that off anyone before Smile

yorkstonepatio · 07/08/2016 13:55

Lovely thread, it has made me ever so slightly teary.

KittyKrap · 07/08/2016 14:00

The other morning I got up early and on the table was an A4 piece of paper where he'd written everything he loves about me. I just adore this man. And later he's going to nip out to the shops to buy me Tampax Grin

FuzzyLittleBumbleBee · 07/08/2016 16:08

We are a team, he makes me feel supported and loved always.
He's an amazing father to our DD - seeing their bond just makes me love him all the more.
He puts up with me when I'm difficult and demanding Blush
He's just an all round kind and good person and I feel very lucky to have him Smile
