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!

These are all so lovely to read 🥰

I know, I'm too hormonal for this 🤣❤️ xxx

How much he clearly adores our children. I absolutely love that he dotes on them.
He notices little things that I mention in passing that I like and sometimes just gets me a little treat.
He can be a complete pain in the arse but I do love him and feel loved by him. It took me being seriously/gravely ill for him to start remembering about me. We had been a disjointed but he came close to losing me and has not let go of me since I came out of hospital. It was possibly more scary for him than me. I was so full of drugs and out of it. He was fully aware of the whole thing.

He is kind, generous and funny. He raised my DC like they were his own and is now the very best Grandad that our dgc could ever wish for.

He is supportive and caring, my biggest cheerleader, no matter what.

He was an amazing carer to my father in his last days of life, including some really intimate stuff that my DF would not allow anyone else to do for him. He mourns him like he was his own DF.

My health has declined so he does most if not all of the housework, including cooking and washing and does it all with a smile.

He is my favourite person in the whole world, I adore him, and it is entirely mutual

[fantasmasgoria1]

He's loving, caring, kind, understanding, supportive, respectful, considerate and so on. He is the only person to have made me feel truly loved. He does little things that show he cares and is in general awesome.

[Rainbowbaby13]

He's loving caring kind pays me lots of compliments and builds my confidence.

We share everything he's the most honest reliable person you could meet

[MumsnetMafia]

He is so, so unbelievably funny. He lights up every room he walks in. He adores me and shows me that every single day. Absolutely family oriented, full to the brim of love. Never holds a grudge or is in a bad mood. Knows exactly how to put a smile on my face. Is so respectful of women everywhere, not just ones he knows.

He's far from perfect and comes with much baggage and faults, as we all do, but I am beyond lucky.

[SouperNoodle]

• He works exceptionally hard for our family so that I can be a SAHM.
• He is a loving, very involved father to our children (they're absolutely besotted with him and he them)
• He is patient, honest, loyal, kind, funny, generous, encouraging, affectionate etc

He's basically just perfect. I honestly never have a bad word to say about him. He just makes life better.

From little things like bringing me coffee in bed each morning to the big challenges of life, he’s there through good times and bad making it clear that he’s got my back and that my happiness is his priority. He’s a great listener and taught me that communication is healthy and more effective that bottling things up. I love his intelligence, the way his mind works and his endless curiosity about life. He’s strong, patient, calm, kind and a fab dad and he provides a great example as to what a good and decent human being should be. Some of my favourite times are those spent just walking hand in hand, nattering with him and after 3 decades together he can still makes me laugh louder and longer and than anyone else.

[Justcashnosweets]

He would work 7 days a week to make sure we had enough money, and still come home and do the dishes, spend time with DD and any other bits and pieces that needed doing.

He's also a wonderful and unselfish lover who puts my pleasure before his own.

He's kind, considerate and helpful.

He's a brilliant Dad.

[Ouchmytoe100]

He is like a goodie in an old fashioned movie 😂 He has bad habits of course, but his heart is very, very good. He's good all the way through. Just a really good, kind, trustworthy, polite, well-mannered person.

He's an amazing cook and makes amazing, healthy meals.

He's athletic and into health and fitness (but not to an obsessive level).

He sees the good in absolutely everyone. He never holds a grudge against anyone.

He's a fun and sweet and loving dad.

He's handsome and he's got a great style.

He doesn't like alcohol and will have a drink with me occasionally but would never go out drinking or anything. If he goes out with his friends it's to play sports and he always invites me along to go and watch (i like the sport he plays but am no good at playing!).

Even his bad habits are innocent, harmless things. I can trust him 100%.

Oh, I feel quite emotional now! He really is an angel. Thank you for this OP! We should all do this more often, write out lists like this! 😊

[Bunty55]

Can I begin by saying he's not romantic. He does not tell me I look nice. He does not notice when I get my hair done. I would never rely on him to tell me if what I am wearing looks OK or not............. he always says I look alright....
He only buys me flowers if he thinks he is in trouble :)
But....
He calls me every day when he is at work
He has never in all our years together raised his voice to me.
He has never called me a nasty name
He never criticises anything I do and I have done some stupid things
He is kind and gentle and patient
He lets me drive his car
He always lets me have the window seat on the 'plane ( that's a big one)
He bought me a puppy for my birthday.
He eats anything I cook and never complains no matter how dreadful it is
If I go out anywhere he always calls me to check I am safe
I can always talk to him about anything. He does not judge.
He's OK

Kind, generous, sexy, funny, amazing dad and step dad, amazing cook, always putting me first, my best friend ❤️
