MrsThierryHenry · 10/05/2007 00:26

Ahhh...you all have such wonderful partners! This is such a deliciously loved-up thread. My FH (Fab Husband) is:

  1. Gorgeous
  2. Great fun
  3. Caring - even though it's his birthday he still came home from a crappy day at work and did all the cooking and washing up and FORCED me to have a relaxing bath as I'd had an awful day with our beautiful, beautiful son who he gave me
  4. Creative
  5. The world's most awesome birth partner
  6. Fab Dad

Wish I could go and cuddle him but he's tucked up in 'bed' in the living room so our frequently-waking DS and I can share the bed. Bless.

beckybrastraps · 10/05/2007 00:26

He is brave, strong and brainy.

He can fix anything.

And he has marvellous forearms. My particular weakness...

He is dealing with stressful moving issues.
He's kind, caring and very beautiful.

Lazycow · 10/05/2007 10:29

1 Almost always makes me laugh when I'm in a strop

2 Is my best friend

3 Imaginative and thoughtful (yet also assertive) in bed

4 Loves ds with a passion that tbh puts mine to shame

5 Fancies me whatever I weigh (and that has varied from 18.5 stone to 12stone - so quite a variety)

6 Supports me in pretty much anything I want to do.

7 Remembers when I tell him things
Is one of the most truly feminist men I know

8 Is incredibly intelligent (a professor and all that) but doesn't make me feel stupid.

9 Is usually happy and positive in his outlook

10 Just lets me be me and loves me as I am

I could go on ....

Bucketsofdynomite · 10/05/2007 11:56

After this thread last night I left a note out for DH saying 'You're so cool.' He was very chuffed.

Tigana · 10/05/2007 12:01

1-Hugely trustworthy
2-Principled and ethical - with principles and ethics that I admire.
3-Affectionate - gives the best hugs in the world
4-Comes up with brilliant, spontaneous things to do - bbq on the beach on a sunny evening with bunch of friends etc

thanks for this thread, was worried I might struggle to find 5 as have been bit depressed recently, but I did! and could have found more!

Tigana · 10/05/2007 12:02

He works VERY hard to make a comfy life for me and kids.
He taught me to drive and kept his patience.

mucky anthea.
Why?

MuckyAnthea · 10/05/2007 12:52

Because:
He does not tell me he loves me
He NEVER makes me coffee/tea
Never cooks
Never does housework
Never hugs me voluntarily
Never tells me I'm attractive
Never looks after me when I am sick - even when I was nearly killed in a bus accident when the driver fell asleep he did not blink an eyelid
He never tells me when he is going to be late for work
He never ever contacts me during the day either by phone or sms
Never contacts me when he is away on business, so I never know when he is coming home
Never pours me a drink when he pours one for himself
oooh I could go on, but I won't.

Sorry ladies - let get back to your positives shall we...
