What do you love/like about your partner?

[treasure47]

I've posted on here about feeling like my husband and I have grown apart. We've been together since we were teens and have a young child together. From my side I feel as though I've changed a lot in the past few years and we just have different needs and interests now.

Whenever I ask myself what I do love/like about him I struggle to answer, which is weird because he's not a bad person. A while ago he listed things he loved about me and there was no hesitation, and he even said things like the way I talk etc. Just made me feel bad that I couldn't think of loads of things to say.

He's generous and considerate, but apart from that I struggle to think of things. Maybe I'm being too harsh! Or missing things that are there. I think he's changed too because he always used to make me laugh but I don't find him particularly funny anymore. I think he's become more serious and I've become more fun as we've got older! We used to be very much the opposite.

So, what do you love/like about your partner?

He would do anything for me and is the most honest person I have ever met in my life.

He's the only person in the world I can really be myself with. And I do the same for him.

He makes me laugh until I can’t breathe and I know that he has my back.
We’re going away together next weekend and leaving the kids at home, I can’t wait for us to spend time together.

His kindness, generosity, honesty and all round good eggedness.
He doesn’t have a bad bone in his body.
He’ll do me

He’s the kindest person I know, fun to be around, interesting to talk to, considerate and loving and gentle. He makes me feel like I am the most important person in his world and I need this as I’m a Leo! 😂😂😂

He is intelligent, articulate, open, honest, has integrity, morals and manners, makes me laugh, makes me feel safe and secure, is loyal and trusting and is just the most amazing person I have ever met.

He brings in a good wage
Hes an extra pair of hands and eyes for the DC so I can go out
I have a nice house, which I couldn't have on my own

He's intelligent, kind and generous. He's a good friend and is reliable if a bit disorganised...

I can be 100% myself around him, he always has my back no questions asked and would do anything for me and DD.

Lots of people see him as pretty reserved but he is actually very funny and difficult to actually know. He is also the most intelligent person I've ever met.

We've been through hell both behaved terribly but after the pandemic, I feel we've come to an understanding. I thought about about leaving but I don't think the grass is greener and I love him.

I definitely relate to you saying you've become more fun while your DH has become more serious! We are different in many ways but at the same time I find it hard to imagine life without him. He's extremely generous, and grew up with little, so even today he is giving back to those that supported him growing up. His mental organisation is amazing, and can plan things out years in advance. He's great with the kids, and an even better cook - he was the one that taught me Having both grown up in a culture that expects women to be SAHMs (nothing wrong with this if its your choice), he encourages my independence and career.

My DP has many faults. These are entirely out weighed by the following:
He tells me I'm beautiful no matter how I look
He makes an effort with my children
I only have to mention something needs doing and he does it, with no nagging and no fuss
He is generous with his finances, despite me earning 3 times what he does
He checks my car before I go on any long journey
He is a man of honour... He does what he says he will do
He pays his way for his daughter and goes over and above to help her mum, his ex, where he possibly can
We have great sex.

He can also be an absolute knob head but hey ho!! 🤣
