I'm so grateful to my DH because...

[Prettyvase]

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?!

Today he has done everything because I am unwell. Left me asleep until midday. Done all the school runs and cleaning and is now cooking dinner.

He makes me laugh. We can be silly together.

We can have great discussions about science, politics, music anything really.

He is very involved with the kids, particularly our youngest who has asd.

He makes the kids laugh by being silly.

He wants the best for me and encourages me to further myself.

He's an excellent human being, kind and intelligent. He's a great father, a great husband and a great best mate.

We are good friends

He's a good father

He makes me laugh, even when life is pretty shit for both of us.
He protects me and checks Im ok
He encourages me to do stuff, even if it means he has to do more work as a result.
He makes me feel good
He talks me up to myself and other people
He believes in me and supports me
He trusts me and has faith in me
He is half of our partnership; we are a team
he has never ever ever been the slightest bit red flag or even borderline abusive - which with my history ( which he did not know about) and background is a huge thing.
he is respectful and understanding and supportive of the stuff I am going through and I have finally told him about ( v hard stuff).
He cooks everything ( I hate cooking!) and he gives the most amazing hugs.
If that's all I want, that is ALL he offers or expects. No pressure or whining or coercion going on - as a decent bloke would do - hes NOT unusual, he believes he does not have a right to sex.
The sex is amazing when it does happen, and its never a chore or an expectation!
He co parents our ( Autistic) DD and has never thought its "baby sitting" - he is her parent; it's what parents do.

Basically if you have done The Freedom Programme - he is the decent version of all the shit ones.

They do exist.

And yes, we can talk and discuss and agree and disagree about wider stuff. Which is really important in itself. We are adults and can have an intelligent exchange of opinions which is a civilised discussion of equal minds. So many men cannot stand that with a woman :(

And yes, my cats loved him when we first started dating - a huge signifier that he was a decent bloke!

And, we have been together for 35 years now and known each other for longer as friends and colleagues. Friendship came first, then a slow and gradual courtship, before marriage 33 years ago.

Sorry, I'll stop posting now!

Oh I love threads like this! DH is away this weekend until Sunday and I'm missing him like mad!
I love how he looks after me, I always feel so safe,loved and secure and I'm a better person for being with him.
Can't imagine life without him

Because he supports my crazy job that might make us 1k in a week or lose £500. But he trusts me when I say 'ssshh, I know what I am doing'.

Because we have a menagerie of animals including ponies and chickens and he never moans about them.

He isn't perfect, but neither am I and my life is better with him in it than without
And I am not one of those people who needs a partner to be happy.

He cooks the best roast dinner ever!!!

He is hilariously funny, just when it’s us, he’s quiet in public.
He makes me cups of tea constantly.
He has such a gentle nature and even though I can be so bossy he puts up with me!
He’s so handsome and has no idea!
I honestly wish I’d known h my whole life because everything that came before seems like ancient history.

If I covered everything it would be an essay.

He is the best person I have ever met. He has changed me and the path I've taken in life immeasurably for the better. Most days I can't believe how lucky I am.

There is a long list of other wonderful things about him.

😂

He's makes me smile
He looks after me on my dark days and on my bad days - he just knows and he just does it
He's an amazing dad and step dad to our girls and works so hard for us
He makes the best cups and of teas and fry ups
He's the only person to make me laugh within a minute of me being upset/mad at him
He's currently decorating the downstairs between shifts and doing an amazing job
He's my best friend

My DP is the best person I've ever met. He is kind and makes me a better person. I laugh every day because of him, and I wish I'd met him years ago.

We both like the gherkins that come in burgers, but he knows I REALLY like them, so he picks his out and hands me them. Every time, for the last 8 years.. True love

Awww these made me smile so much .

Sometimes we see so much negative in our partners we forget to see the positive.

Mine is an idiot but I always say he's my idiot. He makes me laugh so much sometimes. More than anyone else I've ever known. We talk about so much random stuff. I just wish I could fall in love with him but I know I never will ....
These posts give me hope that there is someone out there for everyone !

Oh my, tears welled up reading some of these.

So sorry for your loss Tea, but I hope you take some small comfort in the fact that the beautiful time you shared with your dh is more than some people have ever had in over 30 years of marriage x

Chickenlover: Keep posting, he sounds fantastic!

My dh was my prince charming, a dream come true; actually as if he had walked straight off a page of a Mills and Boon novel and into my life.

I got the fireworks going off and breathless happiness of being on cloud 9 at a time in my life when I had come to terms with being single for the rest of my life (and content with that) after never really having a proper boyfriend.

It truly was like a fairy tale

@prettyvase He is :)
Glad you have a good'un as well :)

Because he always has my back, through anything.

His whole face just makes my day without him having to do anything.

He takes complete care of me even though I could manage myself

He's really, really generous and kind

He's absolutely gorgeous and good in bed

He encourages me to be the best person I can be.

I just love him, so much. ❤️

Well,a breath of fresh air to read about all the lovely things you are all saying about your partners.. It very disturbing to sometimes read about broken ,or breaking up relationships on here, and all the trauma and nastiness that can happen to people and their families,
Great reading for a change.

He’s fit
He looks after me when I’m poorly
He looks after me when I’m being lazy 😂
He doesn’t give me any shit for anything I do or chose to do
He supports me
He works hard
He doesn’t judge people
He treats our kids all the same
He’s super laid back
He’s good at sex

He has bad points too which really get on my tits but I’m sure I get on his sometimes although he doesn’t say it much

Yes, my marriage hasn't always been smelling of roses; we had a stage when we had counseling but the good thing about that was we learned to listen to each other without passing judgment.

Also unlearning the horrible way we had been brought up so as not to bring a toxic cocktail into our DC's lives ..not easy.

He's put up with me all these years: not easy!

Oh my.... Reading these posts has left me with something in my eye...

I’ve had a fairly shite and long marriage to an egotistical, pedantic and quite frankly boring man.

Now I’ve met somebody who is beautiful and kind and funny, interesting and interested, extremely intelligent but modest AND amazing in bed we’ve really clicked. I hope it goes the distance... Still early days
