He takes me to places I would never go on my own, especially abroad.
He makes me laugh every day
He works hard for our family
He was so supportive in my change of career.

Anybody else want to shout out how lovely their partners are?! Grin

He's my best friend.
Tells me I'm beautiful even now, after forty-odd years of marriage.
(I'm not beautiful, not even close to it).
A.n.d.......... he doesn't give a shit that I don't shave my legs and never have done.

My OH and I are not getting on right now but I need to remember the good stuff too.

My OH works incredibly hard and he is a good dad.

MysteriousQuinn · 05/10/2018 16:38

He works so bloody hard to provide for us.
I can 100% be myself with him.
He is such a loving father to our DC's.
He genuinely tries so hard to make me happy (not that I'm unhappy).
He always saves the day.
He brings me back to earth when I'm being a drama queen and over thinking things.
And of course he is ridiculously handsome Grin

Joysmum · 05/10/2018 16:42

He love me more than I love myself and encourages me to be the the best version of myself in whatever I want to.

mimibunz · 05/10/2018 16:43

He’s kind and compassionate to me and others.
He loves me no matter what and god knows he has seen the worst of me.
He cooks me dinner most every night and lets me talk about my day first.
He accepts that I’m going through menopause and have no sex drive so doesn’t pester me for sex.
He considers me in every decision he makes.

BrevilleTron · 05/10/2018 16:44

My DP
Gave me the strength to find my courage.
Has enough balls to point out my twat moments.
Makes the best tea ever.
Loved my cat.
Lets me develop new interests.
Is the only man I would both kill for and die for.

ILikeyourHairyHands · 05/10/2018 16:46

We just really like each-other. Make each-other laugh, get each-other and are kind to each-other.

15 years and we can no doubt drive each other to distraction at times but there's no-one we'd rather spend our time with.

He also understands that I'm a bit of a loner and need time alone and hate feeling constrained.

Doesn't hurt that he's super-sexy either.

ILikeyourHairyHands · 05/10/2018 17:01

Actually DH is super-kind too, he commutes on the train and parks at the station. He was coming home the other day and a young couple got off at our stop, they'd been to the hospital in our nearest big city and the woman could hardly walk, they obviously didn't have much money as they started to walk off out of the station, really struggling. DH pulled over and gave them a lift home. They lived in an area of our mid-size market-town that's known for having a lot of addiction and social problems.

I can't think of many blokes that would have pulled over in their big pristine swanky car and taken them home.

chattyemma · 05/10/2018 17:09

I’ve been with my partner for almost 2 years and living with him for 3 months. He is a amazing dad to his own 2 children and been the best with my 2 because he never treats any of them any differently. He always makes me smile (even when I want to strangle him) and I could not ask to be with anyone better

Sunflowersforever · 05/10/2018 17:12

@croprotationinthe13thcentury

I've reported your vile picture post. Get a grip.

irisheyesaresmiling7 · 05/10/2018 17:23

He just loves me for being me more than I love myself and makes me feel safe.

He loves our kids to death (just like any good dad should) and would move the earth for them and me.

He works very hard to provide for our family.

I'm not working through illness for the past number of years (although I'm trying to set up a small online business from home but it'll earn peanuts), yet never once has he threw it back at me, tried to make me feel bad about it and even though I don't spend much money on myself he would never stop me from buying anything (within reason of course Wink) for our kids or me!

As a side effect of my illness I find it very difficult being near food so if I'm having a particularly bad day he will cook dinner when he comes home from work.

He's my best friend and has been since I met him over 20 years ago!

I suffer from depression & anxiety and he is always there for me, if he's at work he'll send me wee texts Blush
During a major incident in my life my depression and anxiety kicked off massively, he totally had my back and publicly defended me (I was totally innocent & he knew that)!

He tells me I'm beautiful (& I'm really not)!

Even if I'm annoyed with him he can still make me smile.

So yep, I'm smug but couldn't careless!!

irisheyesaresmiling7 · 05/10/2018 17:24

Couldn't care less! Grin

overnightangel · 05/10/2018 17:30

He works long hours
He scurries away pennies to look after me and my son
I don’t drove and he gives me a lift to work and my son to school even on his days off
He’s helped me be independent and get back on my my feet in now doing Nvq at work and access to HE course he believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself.
He’s the most humble man I know and that makes him really attractive to me , he does loads for me and never asks/expects a thing in return.
When we meet for dinner he dresses smart and it makes my knees go a bit wobbly 😊

overnightangel · 05/10/2018 17:32

@irisheyesaresmiling7 that’s so lovely

NotTheFordType · 05/10/2018 17:45

@irisheyesaresmiling7
He tells me I'm beautiful (& I'm really not)!

There's beauty in every human being. We may not meet the mass media expectation of beauty (perfect teeth, narrow nose etc or for men, strong jawline and chiselled abs) but the beauty inside us shines through.

Your DH probably knows you better than anyone else on earth, and he believes in your beauty. You should believe too!

blibblibs · 05/10/2018 17:54

DH is currently on his first business trip and I've realised he makes our house a home.
I really must tell him when he gets back how much I appreciate him and the warmth that he brings to our lives

Gnomesofthegalaxy · 05/10/2018 18:07

He's a great hands on dad to our baby and a brilliant father figure to my teenager.

He does all the cooking and is damn good at it (I hate it and am rubbish!)

He makes me coffee every morning and brings it to me in bed (if I'm still there!)

He puts up with my mood swings and my extreme messy-ness

He supports me, listens and makes sure I'm OK.

He has his faults, because no one is perfect but I love him!

neverbetrickedagain · 05/10/2018 18:24

I wish I could say something nice on this thread... However, it does give hope that there are good guys out there.

Teawaster · 05/10/2018 18:38

Because he fathered my 2 lovely boys and helped them grow into nice thoughtful teens . We would have celebrated our wedding anniversary today but he passed away in 2017.

wizzywig · 05/10/2018 18:39

He now respects my career ambitions and will bust a gut to ensure i get to go back to work.

wizzywig · 05/10/2018 18:40

Oh teawaster im so sorry

Robin2323 · 05/10/2018 18:40

He's smart, hard working, loving , sexy, tall and handsome.
He can fix anything in the house and over the years, in different houses had fitted 2 dream kitchens and various other diy.
Animals and kids are drawn to him.
He's solid, dependable, loyal, charismatic, charming, generous
And the most interesting person I know.
He's also really good with money.
And the best cuddler ever.
He is my best friend and would do anything for me.
After almost 25 years I love him more than ever.
