What do you love about your DP?

[anonanonanonanonanonanon]

Just that, what makes you smile when you think of him/her?

That he is as active around the home as me as well as with the dc.
That we are a team and I don't feel like I have a fourth child.

He cooks me brekkie every sunday

That he is fun to be around 99% of the time

My family love him as much as I do

He's incredibly kind and considerate. He does equal share of the housework, probably more than me actually and it just comes naturally to him.

He treats our cats like babies and is not at all afraid to show his feelings. He's the antithesis of toxic masculinity.

Ahh that's lovely. So often I see threads about troubled relationships so thought it'd be nice to have one about positivity in relationships!

I love how my parter isn't like a child to me, unlike every other partner I've had! I love how his smile just makes me so happy and how he makes me feel beautiful even when I think I look disgusting

I just love him :)

That he loves my 3 older children and looks after them like our own.

That he is an absolute partner in every way. The shit, the great....makes a nice change after the man children before him!

That he’s so kind, generous with money and time and makes me laugh like nobody else.

He’s fixed what was a very broken woman, held me when I’ve cried, came with me when I had to go to the police over exh behaviour, and been so understanding when I’ve not been able to deal with things and needed space. He’s always right there waiting when I’m ready.

I needed surgery in 2017 and he cared for me. He had an operation this year and I got to return the favour. I love him so much.

He works hard for us and doesn't give me anything to worry about.

Just love him- makes me laugh, kind, great dad, does his bit without being nagged, loves me, the best kisser ever, great conversations, likes a cuddle. When he proposed (for the third time) and I said yes he said 'This is it mind - till death do us part, long haul, thick and thin' and he meant it.

He's very demonstrative, hugs, kisses, strokes my face or hair and calls me "angel". He's good with the dcats and ddog. They love him. He does his share of cleaning and washing up and is always happy to go out if I want to. Never gets in a strop. Everyone respects and loves him.

How he makes me a cup of tea just because.
When he is spending time with our daughter and I see the love in his eyes.
His cute smile and beautiful big green eyes.
He takes care of us, is loyal, kind, smart, funny, handsome and very organised.

He is so tolerant and gentle. I have never ever been scared to tell him anything or worried he will kick off or even react badly- to anything. I hadn’t realised just how much I lived with a feeling of being on edge when married to my ex- he would overreact to things and make my life hell over little things that the kids did or similar. My husband couldn’t be any more different and it’s immense.
He is also a fantastic stepdad and father and everyone who meets him adores him. I am very very lucky and don’t deserve him.

@Impicciona are you with my DP?? 😂

I love DH more now than when we first met. We could have split up ( and in fact we probably should have done) but I’m so glad we didn’t. When I look back, I’m pretty sure he had some sort of breakdown. It was hell. But now he has turned himself around & is a much better husband & father. I know he has my back so that has made me a more confident Mum. I am so proud of him as DD gives him such a hard time but he continues to do his best for her. He used to really lack empathy & now he tries so hard to put himself in her shoes. Plus he makes me laugh to the point of pain sometimes & he cries before I do at soppy things on tv ❤️

He's bloody lovely. He is kind, caring and affection. To me and my children. He makes me laugh like never before. He's silly. He's passionate about what he believes in. He loves his friends. He loves his family. He doesn't compromise himself or his beliefs. He's assertive but not aggressive. He's confident but not arrogant. He is honest and open. He's decent and respectful. He listens. He tries to understand even when he doesn't. He admits when he is wrong. He's just bloody lovely.

He brings me a cup of tea practically every morning when he is home (he works away a lot) he cooks the dinners when he is home and he is great with the dc’s 🙌

That he accepts me as I am... a rather unsocial non tactile person, whereas he is sociable and tactile.
He is also the best father. Having a truly crap one myself it has been a revelation over the years to see just how much he cared for our four children. He once drove from Oxford to Nottingham and down to Exeter in one evening to get DD2 to DD2 ( at those Universities) because DD1 had just broken up with her partner and needed her sister. He does stuff like that without hesitation... and our adult sons and daughter still plant a kiss goodnight on his balding head... that says it all.
I am very lucky to have spent 30 years with such a kind decent man!

My boyfriend proposed recently and I honestly feel like the luckiest woman in the world.

He is so kind, to everyone. He has taken my 3 children as his own and has told them as far as he's concerned they are his children.

If we have a problem he will want to talk about it. If I don't agree with somethings he's done or thinking of doing, nothing criminal, he will actually listen to me.

He never speaks down to me, has never called me a name. We rarely argue.

I absolutely love him, he's the best person I've ever met.

He makes me laugh a lot, he is Tigger to my Eyeore, he is always reading and learning, trying to do better and be better, he’s happy to talk things through with me when I’m struggling and supports me emotionally and financially even though we don’t live together. He’s very generous, not just to me, but to everyone. He always makes sure I’m sexually satisfied before him, gives me foot rubs and hair scruffles.

He tells me I’m beautiful and sexy even though I weigh 3 stone more than when we met and I’m 4 years older than him , he has a good attitude to forgiveness, we’ve had some belting rows over the years but he is happy to put it all behind us, as he thinks the world of me. He accepts me even with my faults and that I accept him with his.

It hasn’t all been plain sailing but there’s nobody else I’d rather have onboard when the waters get choppy.

I've only been with mine 2 months so not quite a "DP" but still :) I love the fact that neither of us played any games or felt the need to play it cool for fear of looking to keen, etc. It was simply a case of "wow - youre absolutely amazing," "Wow - so are you, this is great!"
And since then it's been nothing short of fantastic. Look forward to seeing what our future has to offer.
