I'm not having a go at anyone but there have been a few threads about some not very nice men and I have every sympathy with their partners BUT I'd like to redress the balance and praise the nice guys!

My dh is lovely and I love him to bits - sure he gets on my nerves at times and we've had our spats but it makes life interesting! So here's to you dh - you're very special!

My Dh is lovely as well (most of the time - ok 99-0% of the time) he ccoks for me when i'm working and he's off, he tidys up, and even has a go at the ironing.

he can be a bit selfish when it comes to buying things favouring himself over me, but the thought is always there, and he works hard every day to ensure i'm happy. I've got a good guy really.

No,no,no, confusion abounds! I'm Willowmum, hugs were from Willow. Was confused about initial post, as thought first hugs were for Willow, not Willowmum!! Dear oh dear Blush

Gobbledigoose · 10/12/2004 20:55

Jools - thought you were going away? Did df go out after all then?

BTW - my dh is out on piss too!

Gobbledigoose · 10/12/2004 20:55

Willowmum · 10/12/2004 20:59

But I am out on the lash tomorrow! Grin

So very, very glad I'm on this thread and not one of the others.

Thecattlearemerloting · 10/12/2004 21:02

W & R Sad about your little Ross, but so happy for you now Smile. Thanks for sharing your story with us.

Here, here for the good guys!

Mine's not so bad either Smile

Thecattlearemerloting · 10/12/2004 21:02

or should that be `hear, hear Blush'

Gobbledigoose · 10/12/2004 21:32

I think it's 'here here' isn't it? As in 'I agree over here' - could be completely wrong though!!

Hulababy · 10/12/2004 21:34

I have another fab DH :) He's a star!

wigandrobe - so sorry :( I can't imagine how hard that is for you.

MarsselectionboxLady · 10/12/2004 22:38

I suppose I'd better raise a glass to my DH as well. When I was pregnant with the DTs I was incredibly sick. He completely rearranged his work schedule so that he could take the kids to and from school. I had a disgusting condition where I couldn't swallow the huge amounts of saliva that built up in my mouth. I was spitting into towels. He washed and dried so many for me. He cleaned me up when I was too ill and pathetic to move. Too much information huh?

He comes home from work and pitches straight in. He takes our two older daughters out (separately) for supper and buys them flowers. I complain about him and to him and yet when I see how other men treat their women, I realise that actually I'm rather lucky. I feel completely supported by him and despite our problems of a few years ago he is a good man.

This is a good thread. It's good to know that good men exist and the other threads make me realise that I should appreciate what I have.

serenequeen · 10/12/2004 22:43

so very sorry w&r Sad

sleepdeprived · 10/12/2004 22:44

No gobbledigoose, definitely \link{http://dictionary.cambridge.org/define.asp?key=36294&dict=CALD\hear hear}! You made me doubt myself though! :)

Twink · 10/12/2004 22:48

This thread has me in tears, despite being a 'positive' one.

My dh belongs to the good guy list too, he's just bril, in his own peculiar way. :o

xmashampermunker · 10/12/2004 22:55

DH is lovely. I'm very lucky. He can wrap presents up that have me in spitting furies. Must remember to buy regular-shaped things.

W&R, I love your names on this thread. So very sorry to hear about Ross - but very glad to hear about Nicholas.

heavenlyghost · 10/12/2004 22:57

My DH is fab too ...
He has his moments (like when he came home that time at 6.45am drunk as a skunk ... yes, it was me who posted that thread ShockBlush)
But usually he is fantastic, does all the ironing, cooks, cleans, cuddles, loves his children, still fancies me (wobbly bits and all) though I can't think why ...
I love him to pieces and he looks after us all.
Here's a toast to all the 'good guys'
PW&R ... hugs and more hugs to you {{{{{}}}}}

blossomgoodwill · 10/12/2004 23:33

Wigandrobe Sad - Just wanted to send some hugs your way (((())))xxxx

snowdonim · 10/12/2004 23:39

I've got a cracker of a chap, too. (I've just heard the pop of a cork as I type this![grin} He's been with me through thick and thin, inc the times when even I haven't liked myself very much. Every single day he does so much for us all. And recently he held the fort at home while I went to see our ds1 in America for two weeks. He's a star.

snowdonim · 10/12/2004 23:40

W&R, Sad and Smile at your posts.

Socci · 11/12/2004 00:19

Wig & Robe that is so sad and I can't imagine how you must feel Sad

I can't complain about my husband either. When dd2 was born he used to say "I'll take the girls out and you go to bed" so I could have a rest. He's more than happy to help with all aspects of childcare, in fact he enjoys it. To be honest he's better with them than I am as he's very creative and makes everything a game. He can get them to do anything without tears.

He's also a very good cook which puts me to shame. We've always had very interesting conversations (though not so much these days as no time!!) Really I don't know what I would do without him. He's very good for me because I am a real worrier and he doesn't know how to worry so he helps me gain perspective.
