Who has a good husband

88 replies

Happywith2 · 09/03/2020 15:13

I have a great husband and he is a fab dad. Feel there is so many bad men out there and loads of people splitting up.
Let’s celebrate the good men in our lives. Mine would do anything for me, helps with cooking and has a very active role with the children. Could not ask for a better one.
Any one else?

Me! Me and hubby will be celebrating 10 years of marriage this year (15 years together!) He is my world (I probably don't tell him enough!) hes an amazing dad to our 2 and works hard to provide for us, hes selfless, caring and has been my absolute rock when I have hit rock bottom.... he loves me no matter what and he truly is my best friend... its not always been easy and we've had our ups and downs but luckily always pulled through.... hes a gem!

Emeeno1 · 09/03/2020 15:20

Yes, me too! My husband makes it clear everyday that we are his world.

My DH is a good ‘un! I feel very lucky to have found him. After meeting him I realised how shitty many of my old boyfriends were, and how I didn’t set high enough standards. We don’t have kids and don’t want any which I believe makes for a happier/ less stressful relationship for many people in the longer term.

Mine is fab. I am a lucky woman (and he is a lucky man too).

ACautionaryTale · 09/03/2020 15:27

Mines a good un with some faults.... but them I'm a good un with some faults - no one can be perfect

Mrskeats · 09/03/2020 15:27

Yep me.
2nd go though.

ShirleyPhallus · 09/03/2020 15:29

Yes, mine is amazing. I genuinely feel like he’s always on my side and does the very best for me.

He always thinks of me first and I feel very lucky that I never have to worry about what he might be up to if he’s out / who he’s texting etc etc etc. The comfort of being in a trusting relationship is lovely.

Reading some of the stories on MN makes me even more grateful for him! He’s really a good egg

DameXanaduBramble · 09/03/2020 15:29

Mine is wonderful.

Me, married 20+ years, in fact my children are just fantastic too. Thoughtful, kind, appreciative. All modelled by Dh.

mrscatalano · 09/03/2020 15:36

Mine is a brilliant man. Kind, loving, funny and would do absolutely anything for me.

I've got a couple of other friends in similar relationships but plenty who aren't.
It makes me really sad that men like my partner is seen like the exception and not the rule. We shouldn't feel 'lucky' to be loved and treated well.

LittleSunnyflower · 09/03/2020 15:37

I don't have one but I know so many women with utterly wonderful husbands. They are out there.

mrscatalano · 09/03/2020 15:37

Sorry, there was a terrible sentence in the middle there. 😄

chocolatesaltyballs22 · 09/03/2020 15:41

On husband no2 here and he is one of the best. But husband no1 was an utter twat so I feel the world owes me...

teasy1 · 09/03/2020 15:43

My man is amazing. He does more than his fair share - night feeds, dirty nappies, housework and cooking and he is a great provider. Just as well really because I have a lazy nature but he doesn't seem to mind. My problem is that his mates call him a mug and it gets him down. Any ideas??

oldwhyno · 09/03/2020 15:44

My wife does! Grin

BikeRunSki · 09/03/2020 15:45

Me! He can be grumpy and reserved, but when the brown stuff goes flying, he steps up, unreservedly.

AmericanAdventure · 09/03/2020 15:48

Me. Best man I know.

DBML · 09/03/2020 15:51

My husband is incredible and I love him so much. We’ve been together for 25 years - since we were in high school.

Everyday when he gets home from work, it’s like we haven’t seen each other in weeks. He’s so loving and kind and fun. We laugh our heads off together daily. He’s also a very generous and attentive lover 😉 Our son is 15 and so we have plenty of time to enjoy each other’s company now, without the full-on commitment of little kids and life is better than it’s ever been.

Everyone deserves a decent partner to spend their lives with.

newbiegreenfingers · 09/03/2020 16:00

I do! I feel so lucky, even if he does grind my gears regularly, he's the best.

Chickoletta · 09/03/2020 16:08

Me. We’ve been together for 23 years (since we were 17), married for 16. He is the most amazing husband and father, works hard (as do I!), makes me laugh every day and I still fancy the pants off him.

We are about to embark on a ridiculous ‘adventure’ - selling our lovely 4 bed new build house to live in a caravan and build our dream home when I’ve just found out that I’m pregnant (!!) - but I know it will be fine if we’re together.

Marylou2 · 09/03/2020 16:11

Me. He's not perfect but he's practical, hardworking,reliable and a good dad. Wouldn't trade him.

Shoxfordian · 09/03/2020 16:16

My husband is a total sweetheart
I love him so much

MissRabbitNeedsAHoliday · 09/03/2020 16:20

Can I say me even though he isn't my husband until next year? Grin
He really is great and does so much for me & DD. We make a great team & I dont think I realised how much he does for me until reading a lot of posts on mumsnet!!

Bunnylady54 · 09/03/2020 16:22

Me! I wouldn’t have said so a few years ago but now I love him more than when we got married. This year is our 18th Anniversary. He’s tried so hard to turn himself around & to make up for crap times in the past. Keeps going to family therapy even when he thinks it’s not going anywhere as he wants desperately to have a closer relationship with our adopted DD. He’s self employed & on some days works 8 til 8. Makes me laugh so much. Says “ Pull up a husband” when I’m feeling low or have a problem & he gives great hugs. He’s great when one of us is ill ( I have anxiety & he calms me down in the middle of the night). He’s physically affectionate & compliments me. Obviously it’s not all plain sailing & I could throw him out of the window sometimes but I feel very lucky & so glad we didn’t split up when things hit rock bottom ❤️
