What's great about your OH?

[sunshinedaisysky]

What do you love about them? How do they show you how they feel? What do they bring to the table?

I ask as someone who sometimes struggles when asked what I love/like about my partner. Not a bad guy by any means but I feel quite indifferent!

Mine is perfect ! Hot and sexy , domesticated , kind , generous , understanding, considerate , and loves me faults and all

Just got to find the fucker and we'll live happily ever after

Mine is a devoted Dad and spends loads of time with our children. He also does nearly all the family admin and is on top of things like insurance, utilities, passports. He's also 6'4" and is handy for changing light bulbs and getting things down from high places.

He got me through the worst year of my life with his wisdom, humour, practical help and calmness .He knew when to be there for me and, more importantly when I just needed to be on my own, without me having to tell him and made no demands on me. All of this was done without a word of complaint and with no hint of frustration. Without him I probably would have had breakdown.

Absolutely everything to be honest. Took me kissing plenty of frogs on the way.
Makes me belly laugh all the time. Has a strong moral compass. An amazing Dad. Shows he adores me every day. Absolutely incredible in bed. We've never had an argument and rarely disagree on anything. He's just my favourite person and I'm his.

Oh and he's absolutely smoking hot 🥵

Intelligent (learn from him every day), good with money (he's taught me a lot over the years), makes me feel safe and if I have a problem he'll solve or support me with it.

Mines gorgeous, hard working, a great dad, he's good at cooking & cleaning, he shares everything and is very generous, he's funny, spontaneous and I really do believe we were meant for each other as we just click so well! He has a lot of faults too don't get me wrong 😂

I was in a miserable relationship for years

I know it sounds cliché but my DH came along and rocked my world!

He’s funny, sexy, hard working, generous, loyal, a great dad and he makes me feel alive.

For those still searching or stuck in an unhappy place please don’t give up, good men really do exist x

He treats my eldest children (his DSC) exactly the same as our shared kids.

He makes us all feel loved and safe.

He puts the bins out and only needs reminding 3 times.

He is SO supportive of anything I want to do. He is amazingly hands on with dd. He even supports my family in difficult times which he really doesn't have to do.

He’s incredibly supportive, always has my back. Kind, generous, makes me laugh, fully domesticated (far better at the ironing than I am!), still gives me butterflies and loves me just the way I am - warts and all. I had never felt I could be fully myself with anyone before we got together.

He's always got my back. He knows me & accepts I can't take too much stress without moaning at me. He's kind, funny, a great cook & a filthy shag!! He's my best friend and I'm his.

He's cute, affectionate, funny, chatty, gsoh, very easy-going, does his share of shopping, cooking, washing up, always happy to take me out.

He is smart and interesting, he makes me want to do better, he has kept us laughing through some really tough times.

Fuck all.

Total loyalty, he makes me laugh, he does all the food shopping and a lot of cooking, he has integrity.

Some really lovely replies, so nice to read 😊

He's recently retired and does all the shopping, cooking, clearing up, housework, ironing etc (has always done the gardening & DIY). Very generous, never quibbles over money or even comments that he's always earned more than me (& his retirement income is easily a lot more than my p/t wages ).

He knows I like my own space and although he would prefer to share a bedroom respects my decision to have separate rooms ... and he understands that I like tons of time to do my own thing and never expects me to keep him company.

He us a great Dad to our DC.

Of course he has his faults ... as do I.

He has always supported my career and uprooted himself so I could take up a job opportunity. He did 95% of the housework when I was working all hours 6 days of the week.

When I fell pregnant he had no hesitation uprooting himself again so we could be near my family. He brought me a glass of water every single night because he knew the one I'd taken to bed earlier would be empty and he knew how dehydrated pregnancy was making me.

I didn't think he could treat me any better, but he proved me wrong when I had the baby - he just went above and beyond. So now even when things get tough and we are snapping at each other from lack of sleep etc I still know how lucky I am to have him. He buys me flowers from the baby every week when they have their day off together.

Hard worker everything he does is for me and the DC, he knows I am unwell and let’s me rest as much as I want (he will send me to bed and do the dinner/housework and think nothing of it), he lets me have as many animals as I want, moans about them but secretly loves them all, he’s just there, loving and supporting me like no one else has ever done.

He is kind and supportive and clever and funny and unique. Very easy going. He always has my back. He always makes me feel better about any challenging situation. He is a true feminist.

He is understanding, kind, caring. He also is very open and honest and doesn't shy away from deep/hard conversations. Always open about his feelings. He shows me loves me by not only telling me throughout the day but by listening, really listening, being there for me and our daughter, doing more than his fair share of chores around the flat/food shop etc. he brings me in fresh flowers every two weeks. Every occasion is a special occasion and he will plan weekends away and leave post it notes every morning telling me and our daughter how much he loves us.

I do the exact same for him in return.

We just clicked from the moment we met. I honestly couldn't and wouldn't want to live this life without him. He's a rare breed, a diamond and he's my best friend.

I hope our daughter is loved by someone the way her dad loves me and vice versa!

Xx

He’s kind. He’s totally honest and I trust him with my life. He is a great dad. We’re meant to get a lie in each at the weekend but he frequently gives me both if he knows I’m shattered. He makes me laugh. He can be really thoughtful in surprising ways. He does things like get up early in winter to defrost my car or bring me a cuppa before he leaves for work. He’s proud of me and my achievements. He really makes the effort with my friends and family and they all think so highly of him, even though I know that he finds social stuff challenging sometimes. He isn’t needy and totally supports me having my own space and interests.

These are all so lovely to read 🥰
