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?

Oh and he is dishy , so I'm told 😜

LittleBoyJuly2020 · 09/03/2020 17:33

I'm absolutely besotted with mine, he's amazing! He's my best friend and soulmate Smile We've never argued, we still go to bed every night cuddling and giggling. He's just fab. Funny, smart, handsome, protective and supportive.

Mine is a good dad and husband; he would do anything for his family and is my rock. That’s not to say he’s perfect; there are issues between us such as how much he works and the amount I do at home and with the DC but there’s no one I would rather have by my side. I worry sometimes that people expect perfect in a relationship and don’t see a future if someone has flaws but for me as long as the balance is always towards the good then we can manage any difficulties.

What a lovely thread! I haven’t read it all but definitely will add my Dh too. I am so lucky to have him and married 16 years

Jesskir89 · 09/03/2020 17:50

Never really posted on this relationship thread before because I've been unable to relate except this one! I have a great dh and a loving relationship :) not perfect by any means but I wouldn't change it for the world! What a nice thread x

GrumpyMiddleAgedWoman · 09/03/2020 18:03

I could cheerfully throttle mine sometimes but in general he's wonderful. Loving, funny, responsible and hard working.

PrimeroseHillAnnie · 09/03/2020 18:11

He's mad as a hatter but he's lovely and he's mine. You'll also have to go a long way to find another man as trustworthy , hardworking and honest. He's ex-military so he's seen things that others only read about which has left him being grateful just to see the sun come up in the morning. He does so much for me and the kids and asks for so little in return. He's a man out of his own time in many ways. I've never met anybody like him. Last of the human beings.

IceColdCat · 09/03/2020 18:13

Mine's awesome! We've been together for 24 years and I'm still crazy about him. He's so kind and he really listens to me and respects my opinion.

Bluejuicyapple · 09/03/2020 18:18

My late husband was amazing. We were together 23 years and had a marriage which was as close to perfect as I could have imagined. Obviously some times were better than others and he had his faults, as do I but he was a truly amazing husband and father. I would like to think that because I experience that I could find it again

Whatelsecouldibecalled · 09/03/2020 18:22

Me! He’s bloody amazing and I love him dearly. We are 100% partnership and make a great team.

user1498572889 · 09/03/2020 18:22

I do most of the time and he has a good wife most of the time. We are both good 80% of the time and assholes 20% of the time 😂

AuntMasha · 09/03/2020 18:23

He’s my closest friend. He’s kind, compassionate, funny, doesn’t take himself seriously, does more than his fair share of housework and prefers the company of women to that of men.

okiedokieme · 09/03/2020 18:25

Despite him being stbexh it's actually a good man, and my now dp is a good man (his exw says so, she just wanted a change.

SinisterBumFacedCat · 09/03/2020 18:27

Yes, mine is lovely. Supportive, affectionate, understanding. I feel incredibly lucky because coming from divorced parents I didn’t expect this for my future at all.

Joans3rddaughter · 09/03/2020 18:31

My husband is a thoroughly descent man. The way he was with his elderly widowed mum, and the fact he had insisted his teenage children live with him after his wife left him for OM some years before convinced me he was my kind of man.

SlothRider · 09/03/2020 18:55

Mine is lush. 18 years together and I feel very lucky to have such a supportive and caring husband. A real team-mate when it comes to parenting/keeping on top of running the house.

He's also incredible at oral sex! Blush

Begsy · 09/03/2020 20:00

Me!!!, together 22 years and he is fab - I'll show him later after a week off with af!! 😂😍.......don't tell him tho😜 x

Littleshortcake · 09/03/2020 20:04

Mine is a very good man. Ten years of marriage and it took a bit of adjusting at the start and young dc took their toll while we worked long hours back to back. Things starting to pay off now. Yes he's very very decent and good.

Viletta · 09/03/2020 20:32

I'm lucky to have a very good one. Not perfect as neither am I but I've got all three things even 8 years later: intelligent connection, comfort and sex.

SharkAttack1972 · 09/03/2020 20:38

Mine is currently holding the fort while I am in bed fatigued. He is a star! Looking after my dogs, horses, goats and other animals. He is not fond of animals either! He's great in a crisis too and is very calm x

Herecomethedaffodils · 09/03/2020 21:01

Lovely thread! Mine is up there with the best too. Been together since we were at school, married 24 years this year and have 2 fab children. He worked hard to get professional qualifications whilst working full time when the children were very young but still got up with them in the night and pulled his weight around the house when I was baby-fatigued despite him being work/study-fatigued. He just never grumbles and loves us all unconditionally, he hates being away from home and his family. Today he bought me flowers because some friends had upset me. He's a keeper and I'm so lucky and grateful every day.

user1497997754 · 09/03/2020 21:19

Yep I wouldn't swap mind he is my soul mate x

JourneyToThePlacentaOfTheEarth · 09/03/2020 21:22

My husband is amazing. Couldn't ask for better. He's brought up my sons since they were toddlers, now big strapping teens. Our daughter adores him. He shows me so much care attention and support and he's hilarious, I'm v lucky

Kirstyhewlett2018 · 09/03/2020 21:37

I'm very lucky to have the husband I do, he has stuck by my side even through my psychotic breakdown and the after effects it has left me with (I'm well medicated now and love a fairly normal life 😊) we now have 2 beautiful children and he's been the best dad to them I could ask for, both pregnancies were filled with complications and my first nearly killed me and he really took it all in his stride been married 3 years this year been with him 8 years couldn't be happier ♥️
