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! First one was a bag of shite though.

bluehairandheartbroken · 09/03/2020 16:24

This is such a lovely thread to read, I wish there were more like this. I'm just sad that I can't say the same about my husband Sad

mamato3lads · 09/03/2020 16:27

We behave like teenagers , flirting and giggling, and this is mainly led by my cheeky funny husband of 18 years. He has his faults but never ever goes one day without telling me I'm beautiful, that he loves me and that he is so happy we're together. Every single day...usually more than once. He has a way of looking at me that means he doesnt have to say a thing, I can feel the love Grin .

The best! I mean, I still regularly want to kill him but I think that says more about me!

Nicolastuffedone · 09/03/2020 16:38

Me 🙋🏼‍♀️

My husband is lovely. Of course he has his faults, as do I, and at times I want to kill him but I love him to bits.

We have been married 40 years and are still very much in love. We kiss and cuddle all the time and are always holding hands.

We makes me laugh every day and when I am down (I suffer from depression) he usually manages to cheer me up at least a bit.

He brings me a cup of tea in bed every day. He works and I don't but will still get home and cook if I am feeling lazy!

He is my best friend and I am his. Would rather spend time with him that anyone else

Me! My DH is amazing. We have been through so much in the time we’ve been together and we’re still as much in love as ever. He is the love of my life. He’s also domesticated and does plenty of cooking cleaning and jobs around the house. I never get tired of his company. I don’t think I could ever get enough of it!

mbosnz · 09/03/2020 17:00

I do. He's put up with me for nearly 26 years of marriage, 29 years together. He's not perfect, neither am I, but he's my best mate, he's the most awesome Dad, he's provided a wonderful life for us, with far more laughter and love in it than ever cross words and tears, he's always there for a hug or a talk if we need him. He is utterly selfless when it comes to his family, and I've rarely seen him angry, never unjustified, and never disproportionate.

He's also a bloody good cook. . . and can turn his hand to anything.

Growingboys · 09/03/2020 17:03

Yes mine is ace. Even if I want to kill him at least once a day.

sofiathe2nd · 09/03/2020 17:05

Mine: does way more than 50% of housework And childcare, finances are totally transparent and completely shared, his parents are lovely, he’s affectionate and loyal and a good father.

Me. He's an old fashioned diamond. He treats me very well and is supportive. Been married 18 years.

Sometimes he drives me mad. He has high standards and can be a bit controlling, but I have enough bollocks to put him in his place! Grin

Ihavenoidewhatsgoingon · 09/03/2020 17:14

Been together nearly 30 years and looking forward to the next 30 with him

We do annoy each other at times but that’s life

TheDogsMother · 09/03/2020 17:16

I very nearly have as we get married in May. We've been together 12 years and he is great. Funny, romantic, considerate, kindest person I know, pulls his weight around the house, affectionate, practical, never moody, brings flowers regularly, tea in bed every day and arranges surprise dates. I know I am very lucky (but I'd like to think he is too). Being on Mumsnet and reading some of the terrible situations people post about just reinforces my good fortune.

SuperficialSuzie · 09/03/2020 17:16

Not husband, but I have a really lovely man. Kind, loving, supportive, reliable, loyal etc etc

He is very hard working but actively involved in both his children's lives and my children's lives, despite them both being adults and one living in a different country (her choice).

And being fair to my XH, although things didn't work out well between us, he has become a far better father than I thought that he would be, and he is a good co-parent to me - we have an amicable relationship such that if something crops up that I am not sure how to handle, then we can discuss it in a friendly way, he pays more maintenance than he should as he feels that it is better for his children etc etc

TwoZeroTwoZero · 09/03/2020 17:17

Dh does my head in at times with his snoring and his gaseous emissions but he's a good bloke who treats me with kindness and respect.

Roselilly36 · 09/03/2020 17:20

My husband is lovely, a great husband and dad, he makes me laugh everyday, brings me a cup of tea in bed every morning, cooks all the meals. Been married 26 years this year.

FluffyPinkSocks · 09/03/2020 17:20

Me. Full time stay at home dad. Does all the cooking, cleaning, laundry, shopping etc. Fantastic dad to our kids, he’s my best friend and supports me in everything I do.

avocadont · 09/03/2020 17:21

Aw he won't be my husband until the end of this month but my fiancé is a diamond. He's very clumsy and forgetful but I wouldn't change anything about him at all. Genuinely my soul mate 🤍

BumbleBeee69 · 09/03/2020 17:22

Me.. he is the best man ever 👑..... married over 20 years ... two wonderful kids and our life is amazing 💕

Pumpkinbell · 09/03/2020 17:25

Me two married 12 years this year ( together 22 years) always telling me he lives me, brings breakfast in bed (at the instruction of our DD7 now though) great with DD and really a good person / husband / father!! I don’t tell him enough either 👍

SallyWD · 09/03/2020 17:25

My husband is wonderful!

Pumpkinbell · 09/03/2020 17:25

*should say loves me not lives me!! Lol

HazelBite · 09/03/2020 17:27

Been with DH 42 years and the longer I am with him I realise how lucky I have been.
He is my second husband, many people said it would never last and made me nervous committing to him as we were very different people from different backgrounds and as a divorcee in the 1970's we both faced the disaproval of his family.
We have 4 sons that love and respect him too.

VanillaSugarr · 09/03/2020 17:32

Me!! And I don’t appreciate him enough. He does snore, though, so he’s not quite perfect Wink
