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 :)

@Oria Oh dear, is that the best you could come up with because you saw the word fuck? Blimey, don't you have tears to go and wipe? Shoo, be gone.

oria If that's the case then why have you continued to be so nasty?
The Op meant no harm.....yet you have have purposefully horrible to someone.

Oria was pointing out that Relationships is not the place for the OP's post, and why. I don't think she deserves the pile-on. Think why some people might take exception more than others, and then be kind.

Lots of people pointed out that it wasn't the appropriate place but managed to do it in a far more sensitive way.
I think oria should take your advice about thinking and being kind sag

OP, kids did change my relationship too, but for the better. I felt I loved m husband even more than I did before. We both work full time and we both split all responsibilities. My husband has been a very hands on father and in fact was probably more read than me!

Having children has brought us closer, our relationship can have its challenges of course that is normal. However, I'm grateful for him and all he does for our family as I know he is for me.

I hope your bean brings you two closer together too, it's a beautiful journey. Please don't let this thread upset you, there are many, many kind people on MN.

I look forward to seeing more of your posts

The topic is called relationships, not relationship problems. This is completely valid post to put here.

Who decided that relationships board is only for negative situations? I don't see it written anywhere? People are allowed to post what they like, if it's something that you personally don't wish to see, exit the thread. It really is that simple, instead of belittling someone for sharing their positive relationship. Some DO want to see happy posts!

@MonstranceClock EXACTLY!

I really think the OP just wanted to have a nice post with positive stories about happy relationships and nice men they have met :)
So i don't understand all the harassment?

Actually it's sometimes really nice to hear happy relationships/endings.
I remember i was so miserable after my ex cheated, it was lovely hearing about good , decent men out there.

I'm really shocked at how vicious people can be!

Josepheen ah come on. There's disagreeing with someone and then there's being wildly hyperbolic.

What the fuck is wrong with some of you?

Good god. You need help.

Sorry op, I wasn't trying to sound negative in my last post - just trying to share the realities of how much a relationship changes after a baby!

I hope you're ok

What is with British peoples obsession with bragging? Why cant you people just talk about nice things and achivements without screams of "Bragging" "Boasting" "Pig headedness" etc. I have genuinely never been in another country like it.

OP I am glad you have a good one. My DH, though sometimes annoys the hell out of me, is one of the good ones, not for being equal in everything that we do, but for all the little extra things he does

Ring a bell.
Wring a neck.

I can't see any problem with a carefully expressed thread about positives, such as the one the other day asking what nice things people's partners did, like making you cups of tea etc.

I think this was just a bit unfortunately expressed, as it was telling, not asking - and as it is a funny idea that people here struggling with their relationships will be cheered up by hearing how someone else is as happy as a pig in shit.

OP, just as people don't have to comment on the thread, you don't have to read it. You could always delete it if it's pissed you off too much. Might not be a bad idea as it seems to have turned into a general slanging match.

Trust me, I am backing away verrry slowly, josepheen

Crikey...this all escalated quickly.

Lots of emotive language being thrown around here.

@MonstranceClock It's contextual.

It's considered impolite to rub your shit all up into someone's face. No one cares.

It's because it's on the Relationships board, Mon. Which is frequented by women coming out of relationships or looking for advice on domestic abuse, or facing other heartache a lot of the time. The OP could've posted anywhere but decided here was best, to inject a bit of 'positivity' into the 'doom and gloom' which is the reality of many women's lives.
