In praise of nice dh/dp's!!!

[JoolsTide]

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!

lol noddyholder - are you me in a parallel universe? My dp the same! He is so lovely he is even making all my phone calls for me at the mo as I remain voiceless - so I whisper in his ear and he conveys messages - bless!

Wigandrobe - I am so very, very sorry. I had no idea.

My Dh is my superhero - truly lovely :)

Great thread - my dh is another Mr Wonderful - not dd's real dad but treats her exactly as if he were. Has a VERY demanding job but comes home early to cook tea, run me a bath, & pick dd up from after-school club when I'm tired. Does more than his fair share of housework - ALWAYS puts me and dd before himself and is always thinking of ways to make us both happy. I could go on...
W&R - so sorry

I'm actually borught to tears by this thread. See other threads "do you cry alot?) and add one large glass of Sat Night red wine for one who cannot handle it, but presto.

W&R. My thoughts. Cannot imagine. Much love.

Jools. Thanks for a great positive thread.

My DH. We have known each other for nearly 16 years, married for 3 and life has been up, down, and around. Mostly ordinarly, sometimes extraordinary. Very special. Noone makes me laugh like he does.

Tears now. Have a fab evening folks. Off for my takeaway curry.

Hurrah for GOOD men. And a pox on the rest.

Yep, I was right...we had meat feast pizza for tea. We always do when DH goes into town by himself.

So nice to see some good news about us men - viewing a few threads recetly I wondered if there was any hope for us, but its good to know that there are some good 'uns out there.

But for your information, it's good women that bring the best out in a good man - but that's a whole other thread - hmm , maybe I'l try and start one and see how many dads out there post on to it!

BTW, Cadders, stop gossiping about our sex life! (I'd be in the dog house for months it it was me who'd posted that!.

Blushing my arse Spamhead!!
You just want us to know that it is indeed true that you are a bit of a wow in 'that department' (as a particularly prudish neighbour used to say!)
Well,good for you, you sound fab!!

Oh, you don't fool me!!
(Come to think of it, my dh was rather quiet when I showed him what I'd written about him. Possibly miffed that something in a similar vein hadn't been said?!)

Nah, its really nice to get praise, and to be fair, DW is not unforthcoming in that department. But is easy to be nice to her 'coz she doesn't nag me, donen't try to change me into someone mroe accpetable in iwder social circles, adn is great fun ot be wiht. She is also dead sexy, but don't tell her I said so, becuase sh'e think I'm after somehting (uusally mroe choclate brownies - did I mention her baking).

So what I said about good women bringing out the best in decent men is true. The converse, that if a bloke is a waste of space it's because of the woman, is not true in my experience. If someone is a git to begin with, even the most wonderful woman on earth will still find he's a git!

hmmm thanks for the inside infor there SH, i'll have to ask DH his views on the subject! lol

My typing is a mess, must get used ot not having auto-correct. Male egos notwithstanding, being good in bed doth not a good hubbie make. But I guess it helps. Most of us would rather be known as good dads and good blokes first and foremost. The rest of it, well, that's not for bulletin boards - well not if you're easily shocked!

No, bedroom gymnastics don't make a good hubster but, you have to be able to perform though!

Are we in danger of going off topic here? But yes, you are probably right. Have to check with DW for her opinion on this!

Well, can't imagine it helps if ones dh/dp is pants!

What's it like to be a bloke on this? Do you feel as if you are evesdropping? Do you pick up intersting and useful snippets? Do the topics raised surprise you? Just interested to know.
It seems that women fulminate constantly on what men talk about when women aren't there. I don't think blokes do the same...wrong or right??

Shall I tell you what men talk about? Honestly? Nothing. Football (but I have no interest in this), I have a few nerdy friends who get hot under the collar about Star Trek and Lord of the Rings, and the odd bloke I know who gets excited about cars, but otherwise, nothing, nada. Zip.

I've always enjoyed socialising with women becuase I can actually have a conversation. I have about four male friends who i can have a real conversation with, the others just bore me bald! Ask Cadders how bald that is!

Never found it ahrd or sacary hearing what women really say - grew upa roudn women, was nurse for many years, so most of colleagues have been fmeale for most of my life. But i know a lot of men are truly terrified adn fasincated wiht what women actually talk about and say about them behind their backs. DW doesn't say anything behinds my back she dosen't (regulalry) say to my face.

Yes,my dh tells me that men don't talk about anything......
He certainly doesn't seem to to his brothers!
Always says that if it wasn't for me he wouldn't have any friends (not because I'm so great, simply because I make the effort!)
Never mind, he's still lovely....:)

Hmmm, gonna check this out with dh - I'm sure they talk about 'action'!

well, my DH is a soldier - and spends most of his time doing stupid things with his friends - in his veiw he gets to 'run around playing soldiers with his mates and having a laugh' he's one of the lads at work (and yes talks about the typical lad things) but at home he's the exact opposite. I recall they did a 'play' at work last xmas and it was a mick take of jackarse - but that's just their mentality!

In general Gobbledigoose, or with reference to spouses?!

I know DH and his buds swoop their sex storys etc... I suspect most of it's exagerated thou, and I know for a fact they have porn in the blocks! (better to look at the mag than cheat I think)

Yeah, sex was the other one, but always at the levle of jokes or boasts, never "I can't get it up any more", or "we don't click in bed". Egos get in the way. Never talk about my sex life even with my close friends, unless we are all together as couples, then the girls start up, and we get drawn in!

I think most men get their best conversations about most things with their wives/partners. I do.

Right, what dh talks about with mates/people at work:

1. Football (groan!)
2. Technology (mobile phones, i-pods etc - double groan!)
3. Women - because lots of his office mates are young, unmarried lads getting about a bit, it's often about what they are getting up to. With the ones that are married - some have no kids so are asking about how it is with little ones and how relationship changes with dw etc. Occasionally the lads might be talking about something specific about sex (a particular act ) and he might say we aren't into that but nothing more specific.

Gripping stuff huh!?
