...and if you wish, say why.
Just to balance the books against all the depressing relationship threads!
Smile
My DP is the love of my life, adores me and our 6m baby, makes me endless cups of tea, and forgave my dog when he chewed the DP's wallet on our 3rd date. For starters! (The list goes on).

I love my husband, he’s amazing and makes me a better person.

It is frankly an honour to be his wife.

My DP bought me a Belgian bun for when I finished work at 3pm after a 6am start. That, people, is love.

AutumnCrow · 11/11/2018 16:11

I think this is insensitive on the Relationships board, where it is extremely likely that a number posters are asking for help and support, frequently finding out about the existence of Women's Aid, and desperately worrying about their children and their collective safety.

stumpyteapot · 11/11/2018 16:16

If you live your partner deeply and they love you an show you respect well whoopy do !

Most people post on the Relationship board because they are having a difficult time with a relationship mainly their partner.

Don't rub it i

stroneranger · 11/11/2018 16:34

Having been through terrible difficulties I was always pleased to hear of people with happy relationships as it gave me hope and after years of unhappiness I have now got a partner I love deeply. I hope that is not rubbing it in but making the posters who went through trauma know that there can be a happy ending. (you may have to wait a few years though but it is worth it!)

iceskatekate · 11/11/2018 16:39

Why would you deliberately come on a thread which is clearly about loving your partner to moan about people being happy and in love!?

Plenty of people who are in healthy, relationships have also been in shitty ones at some point.

The relationship board isn't exclusively for those in bad relationships afaik.

BasicUsername · 11/11/2018 16:39

The board is called "Relationships", not "Bad Relationships" so feel free to get off your high horse @AutumnCrow and @stumpyteapot 💁🏻

BasicUsername · 11/11/2018 16:43

Lovely idea for a thread @Rigamorph

I love my husband. He is an incredible person. He works really hard to support me being a SAHM, he is appreciative of everything that I do, makes me feel beautiful when the mirror blatantly disagrees, does thoughtful things often, he is so funny and kind, a brilliant dad, and he makes me so happy.

MsLumley · 11/11/2018 16:44

I absolutely love my DH. Meeting him completely changed my life and made me a better person. He's kind, thoughtful, a brilliant dad and always ALWAYS has my back. Until I met him I couldn't have said that about anyone in my life. There are some very shitty men out there (my own father being one of them) but there are a lot of very good men too. And I feel eternally grateful to be married to one of them.

blackcat86 · 11/11/2018 16:47

What a lovely thread. I love my husband. We've had more of our fair share of hard times but we've always been there to support each other. He also makes an amazing spag bol and sometimes impulsively buys me chocolate.

Yup, utterly adore him. Even after 17 years, I still get butterflies when I hear his key in the door.

afrikat · 11/11/2018 16:50

I love my husband. He is absolutely amazing - I have a chronic illness and he basically takes care of the kids, house, cooking, shopping etc and allows me to dip in and out of stuff when I feel up to it. He's kind, funny, handsome and a wonderful father. Feel very lucky to have him

BertramKibbler · 11/11/2018 16:52

This is like one of those annoying Facebook things that you’re supposed to share.

Urgh.

sausagenegg · 11/11/2018 16:54

I love my DP, we have been together 8.5 years and there's a 9 year age gap! I was 16 when we got together! Now we have our own home and a 3 month old DS! He gets on so well with my family and I am very lucky to have him!

Faa27 · 11/11/2018 16:58

So Insensitive. It’s like posting on a fertility forum that you get pregnant every time you have sex, or a silent reflux forum that your baby never cried. But anyway, good for you!

saltandvinegarcrisps1 · 11/11/2018 17:02

Good for you Rigamorph.i felt the same and my H was lovely in the beginning. Fast forward 23 years and it's a shit show. Hope you never need to start your own "depressing" thread on here.

StormcloakNord · 11/11/2018 17:08

I am very very much in love with my husband. We just got married a week ago and during our entire time together he's been nothing short of incredible. He's just the most wonderful person. He pays attention to the little things, does housework and just generally treats everything as if we are a team.

He is the bees knees ❤

Ohyesiam · 11/11/2018 17:09

I love my partner, he accepts me exactly as I am.

Alaaya · 11/11/2018 17:11

I spent my teens and early twenties in a shit show of an abusive relationship. Wish I had known more about how awesome relationships could be or I'd have left earlier.

My DH now is bloody incredible. He makes me laugh, every single day. He picks me up when I'm down. He celebrates in my successes with me. And he's an amazing dad. Best partner in crime ever.

JellySlice · 11/11/2018 17:17

This.

stegosauruslady · 11/11/2018 17:19

My DP is amazing. The longer we are together the more amazing I find him. He supported me when I left my horrible job that barely covered childcare (for my kids, they aren't his) and he has been wonderful to me now I'm pregnant with my fourth and his first baby.

He is a brilliant step-father, he is so relaxing to be around and he was so wonderfully supportive when I was having heavy bleeds earlier in this pregnancy. He makes me laugh, is excellent in bed and also thinks I'm great.

BettyBo33 · 11/11/2018 17:21

Ahhh the number of us that once would have considered ourselves the same as this lucky lot. Time changes things. I wonder how many will be saying the same thing in 2,5,10 years. We’ve probably all loved a partner and thought they were incredible at one point but life throws some serious curve balls. Lucky those currently living in loving bliss but probably not the board to boast.

Joysmum · 11/11/2018 17:23

Nobody compares. 24 years together and he’s loved me warts and all. It’s not been smooth but he brings out the best in me and I love him to the moon and back Grin

OneStepMoreFun · 11/11/2018 17:24

I love DP. We've been married 24 years. He made me laugh then. And has every day (almost) since. This lunchtime he made me cackle with laughter and he gets this really cute, pleased smile on his face when he makes me laugh, like a kid who's just been praised.

He drives us everywhere - family chauffeur, without complaint. he;s a brilliant cook. He's kind and clever. He has loads of annoying faults too and makes me want to scream with frustration at times, but I love him and always will.
