To actually want to praise my Husband

[BKJ89]

So, I have been on Mumsnet for a few months now and i'm finding it increasingly more difficult to find threads that are literally about praising our Husbands (partners/boyfriends/girlfriends/Wives etc).
I have seen lots and lots of posts about lazy, untidy, miserable other halves that I thought it might be nice to have a thread purely taking some time out to appreciate the great ones :)
I'm happy to say that while I understand not all Husbands are this way, mine is a true gem! He works hard to keep myself, our 2 cats and our impending little jelly bean who is growing away nicely as we speak, in a wonderful home, filled with beautiful things. Now don't get me wrong, we're by no means flush, but we are comfortable. I work full time and bring in a good wage, but he works harder for more and i'm grateful.
He is extremely domesticated and will do the washing, the cleaning, the hoovering, mowing the lawns as well as looking after his Mum & Dad and Grandparents whenever they need him. He truly is a wonderful man and every day - even when he's driving me crazy - I count my lucky stars that I landed on my feet. We met 15 years ago, have been friends since. Started dating 7 years ago and have been married for 2 years in July. He's my best friend and I can't wait to start the next part of our lifetime journey with him.
I know this sounds soppy, probably quite daft and extremely slushy, but I just wanted to see if I could try and help those who are wanting to ring their Husband's necks at the moment, to try to remember the reasons they fell in love and all the things they still love about their partners.
100% not meant to sound boasty or anything like that, so please be nice :)

Best of luck with the pregnancy, though (Im not being facetious).

I get what you're getting at OP. I'm happy for you.

I consider myself very lucky that I'm not picking dirty pants up off the floor or wet towels etc. or having to clean up dirty dishes and the likes.

That shouldn't be 'lucky', it should be normal.

Do you give your DH the impression he's a hero because he manages to be a decent human being?

Orla - sorry if you are struggling at the moment but it doesn't excuse a vitriolic vent at the OP

Oria even

Other people have started threads about how nice their MIL is, as they were fed up with reading about other people complaining about theirs, they don't seem to end up with such vitriol from posters as this thread has.

I get depressed reading threads about how happy some posters are if their DH puts out the bins and maybe put their laundry in the basket. It is sad when some people set the bar so low.

However, I also feel for people who have been in horrible relationships, but this is not what this thread is meant to be about

There was a husband appreciation thread a few years ago and it was really nice. I'll see if i can find it.

Your husband's cooks and cleans and works. I don't see why that should be celebrated. Most women do it as well lol

This place really does bring out the worst in women sometimes. You’re only welcome if you’re struggling. Why? It’s like a playground. Bitter and patronising. If you are ‘triggered’ by seeing - shock - a happy person, maybe get some help. Unhealthy and really mean. Shame on you.

Josepheen you've changed your tune, your first post on the thread was a snarky one 😂

That's lovely! Come back after the bean has arrived. My husband is very similar, I still wanted to kill him for 6 months after each child.

I would have sworn I had the most perfect relationship before dd turned up..

If you say so. Made me laugh! Then again so did you laying into another poster whilst claiming you'd never be bitter.

Well mine was a prick. Nice to everyone else and from the outside it seemed we had a good life, he cooked and shopped and worked hard. Still a prick though.

Not surprised at some of the comments on here, after all, the MN husband scale only goes from 'LTB' to 'tolerable adult' after all.

@BKJ89 I think your post is lovely, some people just like to have a chip on their shoulder (you will get used to it). Congratulations on your pregnancy and long may you and your DHs marriage continue to be happy.

I was in a abusive relationship and needed to hear of great relationship to give me hope that there was some good men out there. I have a lovely DP now, but would have loved to read this post 10 years ago.

Josepheen why would I type out all the nasty things you said to PP when it's all there if you just scroll back? :/

This place really has become unbearably hateful and bitter. The OP is guilty of nothing more than being a bit naive.

I forgot to add, OP - if it feels too good to be true, it probably is. I reckon he's shagging the cleaner. LTB.

Good luck with the jelly bean, BTW. You sound lovely.
