What do you love about your DH?

MamaOf2Cubs · 22/07/2023 00:40

I see so many posts on here where women are rightfully or wrongfully bashing someone's DH. It got me thinking to myself, wow, is anyone in a happy relationship anymore?

I absolutely love DH and want to know what you love about yours!

I'll go first ...

When I'm with DH I feel like nothing can harm me. No amount of stress, actions or words can make me feel vulnerable. He is always there for me and makes my life so much easier. He's the most calm, caring and compassionate human and I love him for it.

Tell me what you love about your DH!

Well , last night I had a crippling pain in my tummy. I kept going back and forth to the toilet as he was getting ready for work. He was bringing me water, rubbing my back, bringing the fan next to the bed for me as I was really hot. Sat with me until I felt better before he left. Meaning he was late but it was the early hours, and the pain had subsided and I was just left with feeling a bit nauseous and weak but told him to go anyway.

Hes also very kind, loving, patient. Extremely good looking. Even men stare at him as well as women. He's very friendly and positive. Hardworking, we have 6 kids and he works 3 jobs for us! He's very, very funny, like belly hurting funny.
We get along very well and like and think the same things.

I said it from the first night we met, the way he looks at me. He has always looked at me in a way that no other man ever has or could, like I am the only woman in any room and he makes me feel so beautiful even on days I look anything but.

LunaJulia21 · 22/07/2023 14:08

Met my one and only at 14years old. It's corny but loved him the minute I laid eyes on him and I am not a romantic whatsoever I have never felt like that before or after and as a teen knew I'd marry him and have his babies. At 18years old we parted ways through lifes madness I didn't see him again until i was 30years old. Were together 5years now 2 beautiful baby girls and I love him more than ever.... what's meant to be will be the in-between life happened so we could grow and be together forever love his dimples and my girls have them too I'm a lucky gal. Still get butterflies 🦋

Lovely thread.

bluejelly · 22/07/2023 14:28

He always, always has my back. He calms me down and levels me out. He works hard but knows how to relax. He is generous in all the right ways. He is also clever, handsome and has never once criticised me. I love his politics and he's a great cook. He is a great dad and stepdad. I have had some rubbish relationships but got very lucky with him 🥰

LadyFlumpalot · 22/07/2023 18:59

I can be absolutely myself around him with no fear of him leaving me. I don't have to guard, to be quieter, less annoying, watch myself. I can be goofy, corny, grumpy, tired, ill, made up, glam or in my big pants and grotty T-shirt and he will love me for who I am regardless.

caringcarer · 22/07/2023 19:18

I love how he adores me and goes to any length to make my life easier for me. He brings me tea in bed everyday. He always has my back, he's romantic and loves to please me, in and out of bed. He's also the most intelligent person I know. He's loyal and generous and has been a brilliant Stepdad to my 3 DC. He's just spent the last 4 weekends helping my youngest DS renovate his house so fitting a new kitchen and putting courtesy locks on doors. He compliments my cooking, spoils me and even hands me the TV remote in the evenings.

Atalanta1 · 22/07/2023 19:27

He makes me feel cosy, and like I’m home. He’s thoughtful, caring, will get up from his chair just to cover me with a throw if he thinks I’m getting cold. He’s very capable in old-fashioned outdoorsy/tools etc ways, my rock, but also so gentle with me and the children. He does a lot to help the community. He makes me feel absolutely beautiful in bed. He cherishes us.

BitOutOfPractice · 22/07/2023 19:30

I assume it’s ok to post if you’re not married?

he’s the kindest person I ever met.

he cooks like a dream.

CurlewKate · 22/07/2023 19:36

We have a nice time together. And we've been having a nice time together for 40 years.

MotherOfVizslas · 22/07/2023 19:36

He's my only constant. No matter what else is going on, he's always the same: calm, logical, loving. And he's the only human being I have ever been able to trust 100%.

muddlingthrou · 22/07/2023 19:39

I think my DH has an old fashioned bravery and honesty about him. He will speak up if he thinks something is wrong. I've seen it in action and it has made me totally melt.

What a lovely idea for a thread by the way x

CopperSeahorses · 22/07/2023 19:42

He was calm and safe, he could always make me laugh and nothing was ever too much trouble, he always put me first. He was kind, no-one ever had a bad word to say about him, he was an alarm engineer and he always took time to chat to his customers, lots of them would request that he came to do their service. He could make something out of nothing, I remember needing a doorstop but because our cottage is old and rickety nothing I could find would work, I mentioned it to him one day and he disappeared into the shed. He came back an hour later with one he had fashioned from an old fence post, it is a beautiful piece of work and, now he is no longer here, it is my most treasured possession.

BeyondMyWits · 22/07/2023 19:55

He cherishes me and I love the very bones of him.

Bananas1350 · 22/07/2023 21:10

For many many years I was so scared to get pregnant again. I had so many illness from being pregnant I have never been the same.

for years I wouldn’t let him touch me. He stayed. He never once moaned or groaned. He stayed and was wonderful.

we have been together now for over 20 years and I love him more than He will ever know. He is my world , my safety net my soul mate. He makes me laugh , gives me space when needed and helps on my bad illness days. Love that man more than I ever realised I could.

infeel so sorry for people who wrote on here that they are in loveless marriages. No sex no emotion no affection. They are truly missing out on something amazing. He is also very good in bed so that’s a huge plus 😂

Bananas1350 · 22/07/2023 21:12

@CopperSeahorses incried when I read ur post. The thought of my husband not being here scares me the most. I’m so sorry I lost someone so precious to u.

bakewellbride · 22/07/2023 21:35

My dh is incredible. He is so brave in his work as a paramedic. Patients adore him and he gets boxes of chocolate from old ladies, emails to his work saying how supportive he was etc.

His shifts can be absolutely brutal sometimes but he never complains and is always so keen for us to do loads as a family on his days off. He is a great dad to our 2 young kids and they adore him. He'd do anything for them.

Tells me I'm beautiful.

Does loads around the house and garden, always has great initiative. Is meticulous about hoovering! Very organised and shares the mental load with me. We are a real team.

I'm a nervous driver and have been for years. He is so supportive and always happy to coach me / help me. Has loads of patience.

Is the most incredible birth partner and knew exactly what to say and do each time.

Is very modest, doesn't like fuss or loads of praise. Is really hard working and driven.

Very sexy too, especially in his uniform. I just love him. Before I met him I'd been to hell and back and had a very traumatic childhood, lots of awful times. To know that I've built a family with this man and that the kids have a father who adores them means so much to me.

MNetcurtains · 22/07/2023 22:13

He has his faults, but he's been putting up with my shit for 40 years. There are occasions when he 'punishes' me for a day or two, but eventually he caves. we're both a bit fucked up, but my issues are generally more difficult to deal with.

Nagado · 22/07/2023 22:27

He’s the kindest man I’ve ever met. Not in a showy way but when he thinks no one is watching him.

He’s so funny. He makes me belly laugh every single day. He’s very quick witted. We laugh a lot.

He makes me feel like he can’t get enough of me but is so welcoming to my friends and family and encourages me to spend time with them without complaining or trying to guilt trip me for not being at home with him.

He’s my biggest cheerleader and supports everything I do, even when it massively inconveniences him. He wants my opinion on things and he trusts my judgement. If I’m telling him about something he doesn’t know much about, he listens to me.

We don’t have our own, but he’s like a baby and toddler whisperer (although he does bribe me with Ferrero Rocher so he doesn’t have to do nappy changes, feeding or bath times for the babies we do care for). Kids just flock to him and he’s so patient with them.

I love that he’s always the first on the dance floor. I love that his friends and family adore him (he’s also my mum’s favourite child 🙄). I also love the fact that he’s bloody gorgeous.

Milkand2sugarsplease · 22/07/2023 22:35

We are a team. Everything is better when he's around and I miss him when he's not. He'd do anything to see me happy and he's my absolute favourite person on the planet.

He was my first crush as a teenager and that has never, ever left me.

NeverThatSerious · 22/07/2023 22:43

Oh he’s just fantastic.
He’s so kind and thoughtful, not in big showy ways but in quiet ways that mean so much more.
He supports me in everything I do and supports decisions I make for the family without hesitation.
He has my back in every and any situation, he would go against anyone for me, and our DC, no questions asked.
I trust him completely, with everything, to be loyal, to put our family first, to have our best interests at heart.. all of that.
He’s fantastically practical, can put his hand to most things, and while he isn’t academic, he’s so clever in other ways.
He’s the hardest working man I know, bar none.
Plus he’s tall and fit and has thighs to die for 😍
What a lovely thread.

FiveO · 22/07/2023 22:44

God. We have a toddler and he does all the 5am early starts while I snooze. He works full time and does all the shopping and cooking. He never ever has said anything mean or critical to me. He's clever. He's whimsical. He's reliable. He can make anyone laugh. Oh and he's got lovely silky skin and beautiful eyes.

Thelonelygiraffe · 22/07/2023 22:51

There are some good men around! Hurrah!

PermanentTemporary · 22/07/2023 22:55

Dp and I have only been together 2.5 years so it's simpler. We have a fantastic time in bed and a whole load of fun the rest of the time. He is completely loyal and trustworthy. He's a good Dad and was meticulously fair to his ex-wife when they divorced (she's said that to me). So trustworthy that he's gone on holiday with his ex and the kids and i never worried about it. He has actual friends - lifelong friends that he sees regularly, more recent work and hobby friends as well. I've never had a partner before who had healthy friendships and who would just go off and see them. It's amazing. Also the sex. God.

Loafbeginsat60 · 22/07/2023 23:35

So many things - where to start!

He's so reliable and organised
He can do literally anything - he's so talented at joinery, decorating, tiling, building, mechanics, farming - the list goes on
He's ever so generous
He has the best smile and when he comes home smiling every night it makes me so happy
He's a great cuddler
He's really tall and broad and makes me feel so safe and like I have no worries
He's such a good dad

Better stop now before I make anyone sick!
