After reading lots of threads that husbands are in the wrong in lots of ways eg affairs, spending money on himself not family, selfish in outlook. I would like to say I have a good DH, he's not perfect he has a few faults as we all do he wouldn't know a romantic jesture if it stared him in the face. But I trust him with my life, he has to be forced to spend money on himself. He tries to make sure I'm happy with every outing or holiday we have.
So come on everyone is your DH or DP a good one.

My DH is very lovely. Not perfect but then again neither am I. He is a caring and wonderful husband and an involved parent. We have been married 33 years this year and I love him more now than I ever did. He is my rock.

Bowlofbabelfish · 01/06/2018 20:05

Yup. He’s clever and kind and funny and a genuinely 50:50 parent. I’m lucky.

Gizlotsmum · 01/06/2018 20:05

Actually yes. He can be an absolute nightmare, never remembers plans, totally disorganised but he makes the kids lunches every day, does most of the cooking, declutters ( but never sees dirt) will do more if I ask, works hard and never spends money on himself. Allows me to pretty much plan what we do and goes along with it.

Loves us all and tolerates mynintoleranve for being touched.

I need to show I appreciate him a bit more I think.

afrikat · 01/06/2018 20:08

I married the the most amazing man I've ever met and count myself lucky every single day. He's kind, funny, handsome, a wonderful father and doesn't have a selfish bone in his body. I've been really ill for the last year and he's had to do almost everything around the house and for the kids single handedly and he hasn't moaned once. He makes me laugh every day and I can't imagine life without him ❤

o0o0 · 01/06/2018 20:09

I don't. But I love him anyway, what can you do

AnyFucker · 01/06/2018 20:11

Yes. I am very lucky.

Yogagirl123 · 01/06/2018 20:12

Yes, I have a fab DH, always supportive, helps me with so much everyday, cooks family dinner every night, always puts me and DS’ before himself, tells me he loves me and compliments me every day. Been together since we were 17, married 24 years. In sickness and health, been fantastic since my MS diagnosis. My best friend.

MsAwesomeDragon · 01/06/2018 20:17

I've got a good one. He makes me laugh every day. He does a lot of the housework because I'm busy with work and a bit lazy We rarely argue, in fact I can only think of a couple of proper arguments in the 13 years we've been together.

I moan about him sometimes, he moans about me at times too, but it's all with affection. He puts up with my snoring and untidiness, I put up with his smelly feet and reluctance to go on days out. I'm planning to stick with him for the rest of my life, and I believe he's planning the same thing (he thinks he'll die first and is happy with that)

afferal · 01/06/2018 20:22

Yes I have now. He's my 2nd husband(16 years together now) and compared to the lying,cheating,EA piece of crap that was my first husband..he is a saint.

We have our moments but he is the kindest,most caring,gentle,funniest man I've ever met. He's my soul mate and I trust him with my life He's also a brilliant step dad to my sons who both love him to bits too. I feel so incredibly lucky to be with him

Pashazade · 01/06/2018 20:24

Yes. We've been together 19 years and although there have been ups and downs he is my absolute rock. His faith and belief in me astounds me sometimes but is deeply
needed at times and very appreciated. He is a genuinely nice guy and a totally awesome dad I am really proud of him too for all he does and what he has achieved. We are a team and that is what makes it work whatever gets thrown at us.

MrsJonesAndMe · 01/06/2018 20:24

2nd time lucky, yes I believe i have a good one.

DramaAlpaca · 01/06/2018 20:25

Mine is wonderful. I know how lucky I am.

numptynuts · 01/06/2018 20:34

Mines not perfect then, neither am I so that makes us a perfect match.

DiabolicalMess · 01/06/2018 21:09

Yes am very lucky as I have an amazing dh and I trust him with my life. We have been together for 16 years and in that time he has never ever shouted at me - and in that time I have been probably very testing of his patience!! He is so calm and so gentle and the most wonderful father I could've wished for for our sons. I don't believe he would ever be unfaithful as he doesn't believe in sex outside of marriage and we were together nearly 5 years before we were married. That being said, if I ever found that he has been unfaithful I would END him.

Spotsandstars · 01/06/2018 21:20

Yes he's briilliant, kinder than me and less selfish. He has faults but nothing major, we've worked hard over the last 17 years of marriage to stay close together as a team and overcome whatever is thrown our way. He's fab!

candlefloozy · 01/06/2018 21:54

Mine is great. We do have ups and downs and I do think he is a massive twat at times but bloody hell, he must be a saint to put up with me. He struggles with his mental health but really tried his best.

mikeyssister · 01/06/2018 21:55

Mine is not perfect but I love him dearly and feel he loves me too. We fight, he sulks, I sulk, he's unreasonable, I'm unreasonable, he shouts a lot, I shout a lot but we're human and try harder every day. We giggle and laugh and mess with the kids, we try to make time for each other and for them.

It's so much better than it ever would be without him.

for FrancesDestroyed amd Newerversion. I honestly don't think I'd ever recover, and our relationship certainly wouldn't..

KatharinaRosalie · 01/06/2018 21:59

I do, and I don't understand why people settle for less. If your husband doesn't make your live nicer, easier, more enjoyable - why bother?

LadyGAgain · 01/06/2018 22:01

What a heartwarming thread.
Yes. I love mine. He is kind, thoughtful, funny, thrilling and hot. And a super brilliant dad. He's not without fault. Who is? But I thank every single day that he chose me - that we chose each other - and 10 years on he makes me smile (most days )

fantasmasgoria1 · 01/06/2018 22:10

Two very abusive husbands in every way you can imagine. I am engaged again to someone absolutely amazing! Third time lucky!

MadMags · 01/06/2018 22:18

I know nobody is perfect but he’s utterly perfect for me. I love him immensely and he makes me feel loved the same way.

I honestly feel lucky to have him.

FrancesDestroyed · 01/06/2018 22:21

Wow Sillage, just wow.
I've done NOTHING wrong.
I've not been a bad wife.
I sincerely hope that you never have to go through what I've been through....and that you never get criticised for your very valid feelings.

MadMags · 01/06/2018 22:23

Frances, to be fair I don’t think she meant anything other than it didn’t seem to be the thread the OP wanted.

I certainly don’t think she was commenting on how you were as a wife!

FrancesDestroyed · 01/06/2018 22:27

Have you got a good one
I merely answered the question ... sorry if it's not the answer you wanted
I'm obviously very down at the moment; so I know I'm easy prey.

CantankerousCamel · 01/06/2018 22:29

Frances,

I think this thread will just upset you if you read it. Please seek out the support you need and deserve, don’t hang around where other people’s love will make you sadder :(
