work has been getting increasingly stressful and culminated on thursday of this week after i had worked 14hours wednesday an was generally knackered. thursday i was crying before i even got to work as i was so worried. got home at 6.30 to a roast chicken meal with chargrilled vegies and new potatoes. he wanted to chear me up by cooking something realy nice. then this morning with no prompting he made me a bacon butty and brought it up to me in bed. i just think he is lovlely to care so much as to try and cheer me up and make me happy, and i wanted to tell you all.

theres a lot about rubish partners in these threads, have you ot a lovley hubby ?

Yup - it's our 5th wedding anniversary today and we're just back from a lovely day out with a picnic. I'm getting ready for part 2 - romantic dinner at our local Spanish restaurant, while dh sees to ds' dinner/bath/bed etc.

I love dh so, so much more today than when I said my vows to him 5 years ago and I loved him so much then I thought I would burst.

I'm blissfully happy and in love.

5 years is "wood". Dh presented me this morning with a beautiful dark wood cabinet with ceramic drawers for nick nacks - kind of like a spice cabinet - I didn't know he had such spot on taste for prezzies! 5 years later he still surprises me.

My dh is fab!

How lovely. My dh got up with the kids this morning at 6.30 and let me have lie in until nearly 9am when he brought be a bacon and cream cheese bagel in bed and then let me have a bath in peace. And he has let me spend large chunks of the day on mumsnet while he has sorted the kids. He is lovely.

Oh thank you for such a lovely thread, custardo. I love my DH to death. He works hard every day at his job, then comes home and plays with DS and spends so much time with him. He realizes that being a SAHM is a job in itself, and always helps out with baby or housework, often never being asked. He is always thinking of DS and I before himself, and my biggest complaint is he needs to do more for himself. It is really paying off with DS, because when DH comes home, DS(just turned 1) gets really excited and starts screaming da-da over and over while clapping his hands, and follows him around wherever DH goes. I don't know how I got so lucky, and am so proud that DS has such an involved father.

My favourite sound at the moment is dd screaming with laughter upstairs while dh chases her round the landing after giving her a bath

I went to the hairdresser for two hours this morning and he looked after poorly dd, took her to the park, did the washing up, fitted baby catches to the kitchen cupboards and hung all the washing out on the line with a smiling dd (11 months) 'helping' him.

These are all so lovely. More please!!

NomDePlume · 21/08/2004 20:31

Mines quite good sometimes...

alexsmum · 21/08/2004 20:36

mine is fab too.He's upstairs bathing the children at the moment and all i can hear is laughter and splashing!
He works very long hours and commutes incredible distances rather than staying away in the week so that he can get home to us, and makes sure he is always home for bedtime.He's loving in all sorts of ways too numerous to mention and he's a bit of a stud-muffin to boot!!!!
We've been together 12 years and it just keeps geting better!

I have a lovely hubby - he was waiting for me on the station on Friday evening with a huge bunch of lilies.

He is wonderful with DS, listens with never-ending patience to my pregnancy moans and puts up with my moods.

Most of all, even though the last year has been so unkind to him he never fails to tell me how much he loves me and how much we all mean to him.

I love him madly

Mine bought me a lovely bunch of flowers for no reason along with a thank you card for being such a great wife. It's these things out of the blue that make everything so special and keep the romance going.

fabarooney · 22/08/2004 20:21

My husband is wonderful. It is obvious to everyone that our 2 dds and I are the most important people in his life. He tells us this every day and shows us in so many different ways.

I've slagged mine off here (but we all have problems), no one has a relationship where they don't argue etc.....we've been together 16 years and although he can be aright pain in the arse, last night we went to bed early and wow what a night....he tells me he adores me often and when we argued the other day he brought in a box of chocolates.....and he always talks to me when he's not reading the paper...he's got the most gorgeous blue eyes and he said he wants to grow old with me and wants no other women, ever but me (and I know from that that we will be married for one hell of a long time)...(my threads have been somewhat open but I tell it all and there is no more....we have our problems but no marriage is perfect and i know that 30 years from now if Mumsnet exists I will be saying this and celebrating my 40th wedding anniversary!!

Jollymum · 22/08/2004 20:54

He's alright, I suppose! Actually I've just been hooting with laughter over various threads and he's cooking lamb chops and veggies. (Can we do smellythreads, Tech?) 'cos it smells luvverlly!! He's just said that tea's ready, but we have four kids, very busy lifestyle (not social just kids taxi service) and let it be known, I DO LOVE HIM LOTS!!

Mines fantastic, always very loving, great with the kids, and does all the cooking.He has taken equal shares, taking time off to cover the school holidays, sometimes not just going out with our three but taking friends as well.
As the kids get older we seem to have more time for each other, and he's still great in bed.
This morning my washing mashine broke down, he rung around and has already organised a brand new one for Wednesday.
My stomach still has butterflies when he comes home even after 10 years together.

Mine is gorgeous, just got back from Beety's field where he reluctantly accompanied me, once he agreed to come he mucked in 100%, chased my ds about while I lounged about, minded kids for hours while I went shopping for stuff I didn't need with Kayleigh, Crunchie and Essbee. Last night we had Essbee's kids sleeping in our tent and he got up 800 times to Essbee's dd. He wouldn't let me wake Essbee because he thought she deserved a break. Now he is keeping my wine glass topped up while I totally ignore him at the pc. He is the best husband in the whole world

MancMum · 23/08/2004 09:22

no mine is the best DH is the world... he is the best Dad in the world too - all my mate envy just how hands on he is with our kids - he is a SAHD and I could not imagine a better person for my kids to spend their time with - totaly imaginative in playing with them, hugely affectionate and patient... he is also a domestic marvel and can look after the 2 of them and keep the house tidy and clean at the same time... after tough days I come home to candle lits baths with a glass of wine and a magazine at the side... I can honestly say that in the 10 years we have been together I have not met anyone who is even 5% of what he is - totally unique and the most amazing person I have ever met.... filling up now as I realise again just how lucky I am!!
