Come and tell me about the love of your life...

[bodgersmash]

In amongst the relative doom and gloom on the Relationships board, I want some happy stories to give me some hope after a crap breakup.

If your DH/DP is the best thing since sliced bread, come and tell me about the great stuff please.

I'm trying to keep away from my ex and focus on the fact that much happier relationships do exist and one is out there for me one day, to stop me from going back to him and settling for less than I deserve.

By love of my life I take it I’m not allowed to mention my cat?

@Fonduefrolics all I'm taking from this so far is that I shouldn't hold my breath for someone great and should instead get a cat

Well mine was amazing but died in his 30s, so I’m not going to cheer you up 😭

I’ll get my coat 😅

There is much hope for you - as long as you don’t go back to him.

That’d be my husband. He’s lovely. Best thing about him is his integrity. He never plays games, does what he says he’ll do, and has never once let me down.

He’s great.

Oh @tunnocksreturns2019 I'm so sorry. Can't even begin to imagine how you coped with losing him, and especially at such a young age.

Well, after 10 years a single Pringle and a few dates thrown in, I've just come home from THE loveliest date! I was so over ever meeting anyone, but I have the biggest smile now!

Yay @BeachComber1 thank you. And I can use that to remember all the times ex-DP did let me down. There were many.

That's what I want!

Oooh @stepup123 that's so exciting. Did you meet him on OLD?

Don't go back.

My husband can drive me crazy, he has many flaws. He can say the same about me. He is also my best friend and utterly trustworthy. A fantastic and loving father, a loyal and caring friend. Find somebody like that. It's what you deserve.

Even my cat cheats on me. He comes home stinking of fags so has clearly been hanging out with someone for a meal

I can’t give you a love of my life story as I’m just dating at the moment (although he’s very nice) but I can share that my previous boyfriend taught me there was a difference between tinned chopped tomatoes and plum tomatoes. Mind blown. So even failed relationships can teach us things and help us grow.

Can I tell you about my husband?
He's the kindest soul there is. He cooks and cleans and organises more than I do. He plays games too but only when it fits in with our lives. He's an incredible father.
He's my best friend and the only person I'd ever want to do life with. I don't think I tell him enough actually how much light he brings to my life.

I thought I had the love of my life for 6 years after we met. Then I uncovered the first lie, followed by the first infedilty and things never got better. He became more abusive and I left after 13 years. I just want someone to be kind to me and love me. Hopefully I will find that one day.

I honestly think it’s my dog
I love him so much it hurts!

My husband is mine! It was love at first sight and I really don’t care if some people don’t believe in that - it does exist because I’ve experienced it! Everywhere is boring if he’s not there, I can’t even find the words... he’s just amazing! Drop dead gorgeous (tall, muscles, big blue eyes and jaw line to match) and smells like heaven! Gruff voice but very articulate, clever, knowledgable about everything! Successful, popular.. he’s an absolute dreamboat! We’ve been together a decade now and have beautiful children. He’s the best father and husband I could’ve wished up for us. Fantastic men really do exist and they’re worth waiting for!!!! Don’t settle for less!

I have an amazing dp of 18 months- 2 years, after an 11 year abusive marriage, and some questionable dating.
There is hope yet. X

After an emotionally abusive 13 year relationship and 5 years being single, I met my partner and he is just the best person I have ever met. He's funny, kind, thoughtful, intelligent, compassionate, relaxed, supportive and loves my kids who in turn totally adore him. There's not an ounce of toxic masculinity in him, I feel so lucky to have met him and that he feels the same about me. And the sex is incredible too!

Thanks for giving me the opportunity to gush about him 😄

I still think about him every day. He destroyed me. He was beautiful, ingenious and cruel. He’s an artist now. I hate him.

My husband is the love of my life.
I was 40 when we got married.

I’ve had a loads of boyfriends, but was only in love once before.

It was my first boyfriend, I was 22. I would have married him, but he broke my heart...

She is the most amazing beautiful girl in the world...my heart beats so fast and struggle to breath just thinking about her...shes beautiful inside too...when we make love I feel I'm going to have an heart attack..it's so intense..six times last weekend...she's my soulmate...best friend too...we know what each other is thinking...I'm the luckiest guy in the world..😍😍😍😍

After 21 years together my DH is my best friend, he is the funniest, most hard working, kindest man I know & an amazing dad to our two children. He will do anything for his family and we always come first . I love being with him because life is so much fun when he's about. When we aren't together ( not often as we work together) I really miss him, sad maybe but I wouldn't change a thing

My DH is incredible.

From day one he was considerate, caring, romantic etc etc

We have a 17mo dd and I'm due any day now with dd2 and he's the most attentive husband and father, he works full time and somehow is still better at getting housework done than I am.

He always puts my needs first and has given me happiness and a sense of security that I never thought I'd have.
He is literally the most incredible person I've ever met and I couldn't imagine a life without him.

My DH is the most patient person I know , he is so laid back which makes him great to be with as he never argues . He is so quick witted too and makes me laugh every day. He tidies the kitchen every day after I have made a horrendous mess and has never asked me once if I could please be tidier ! He is a fantastic stepdad and dad. Can't imagine life without him

Single for a long time after marriage broke up. Then ventured into the world of online dating and what an eye opener that was and I gave up many a time. Glad I didn't though because over a year ago I met the man of my dreams. He restored my faith in men after all the crap. It's so easy and so right we just clicked from the start. It's the little things that he does that makes me smile. I'm back to being me and I've never been happier.
So glad I didn't give up as there are good ones out there

My DH is lovely - he's kind, caring and affectionate.

He still opens the car door for me, he looks after me when I'm ill, he's the best cat dad ever (they have him wrapped around their little claws) and he's just the most genuine man I've ever met.

There are no 'sides' to him, he has no motives - he's genuinely most happy when he makes me happy (both says this but it's his actions that prove it). We work well together as a team with just the occasional bicker that ends in us laughing usually.

I'd been single for 5 years, dated a few arseholes and had nearly 50 first dates from OLD before I met him!

My hubby is just amazing.......he completes me......he is my favourite person to hang out with x
