To actually want to praise my Husband

273 replies

BKJ89 · 05/06/2019 14:27

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 :)

thedancingbear · 05/06/2019 19:26

Eh? How can you know the meaning of an expression if you don't know the expression itself? Are you some kind of savant?

Ivory castle. Man, that's a lot of elephants. Poor buggers.

Oria · 05/06/2019 19:27

ivory tower
noun
a state of privileged seclusion or separation from the facts and practicalities of the real world.

CostanzaG · 05/06/2019 19:27

oria if you say so.

BeautifulWintersMorning · 05/06/2019 19:28

@MonstranceClock Sorry for your loss. My dh died last year and he was lovely too. Flowers

Oria · 05/06/2019 19:28

Ok so I'm cruel, bitter, malicious, aggressive, vile and vitriolic..

I'm the one with an issue alright Wink

Any more adjectives you want to bring to the thread?

Oria · 05/06/2019 19:29

At least I'm not vain, boastful, smug and complacent.

MissPollyHadADolly19 · 05/06/2019 19:30

Wow the most malicious poster on MN award goes to you @Oria you are the type of cyberbully people warn their kids about.
Disgusting.

MrsGrindah · 05/06/2019 19:30

Boring?

Oria · 05/06/2019 19:32

Nor am I an ass-licker to every poster who declares they're well-off.

CostanzaG · 05/06/2019 19:32

oria yeah I know the definition thanks....it's still out of context.

thedancingbear · 05/06/2019 19:32

I fucking hate bullies.

Oria · 05/06/2019 19:32

Sorry, I'll go back to my home filled with beautiful things.........

lboogy · 05/06/2019 19:32

Tough crowd. I think pregnancy hormones are leading you astray, but if not, then I'm truly glad you've found someone you love deeply and treats you with respect

Morgan12 · 05/06/2019 19:33

What was wrong with this post?

She is talking about her life. Should she apologise for having a nice husband, being fertile and making money? Do we all need to apoligise for our lives now? Or never talk about them?

Better not mention my nice new shoes I bought today incase someone with no feet is reading this.

Oria · 05/06/2019 19:34

oria yeah I know the definition thanks.

Oh - good to hear. So why tell me I don't know what it means?
