5. A very caring lover in bed!

So glad I have found this thread, as just had a right go at DP and now feeling very bad

1. He supports us totally, as encouraged me to give up my job as I really wanted to be a SAHM and if I need anything I get it without question.

1. He does all the ironing, because I hate it!

1. He works so,so very hard and is often away for days on end, but will always come through the door and take our DD off for a bath etc. to give me a break "as I have had to look after her all the time he has been away". He says I have to put my feet up whilst he does this, but I can't as feel too guilty!

1. I have the self esteem of a processed pea, but he always makes me feel like the most beautiful person in the world. Even when I put on 5 stone during pregnancy, he still seemed to fancy me and constantly tells me what a good mum I am.

1. Because he is the most amazing lover, who loves me unconditionally and is my whole world and the most amazing and wonderful man I have ever met - I am truly blessed xxxx

Only 5? well, ok. My shortlist is

1. best father in the world
2. intelligent
3. funny
4. hard working
5. puts up with me, even when I am being nutty and totally unreasonable he still loves me.
