What do you love about your DH?

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!

He’s a great dad, totally selfless with the DC.
He’s got really high standards
He looks like he’s just got off a large boat in the med, with his olive skin and sunglasses
Chocolate brown eyes
He works really hard
—he earns a lot of money, not relevant honest—

Geppili · 23/07/2023 02:45

He is honest. He does incredible impressions of people which make me crack up. He is endlessly patient with my foibles. He adores his kids and shows them daily. His body is athletic and natural. He always smells good. He loves my body. He is highly intelligent and is a superb judge of character.

How he makes me feel so loved x

MustBeGinOclock · 23/07/2023 03:09

My husband of 21 years is just amazing, he works hard, is the best dad to our kids, is calm, caring, thoughtful, cooks, cleans, irons, treats me like a princess, plays with my hair until I fall asleep.
I don't know how I found that gem of a man but I'm bloomin glad I did.
Life ain't perfect he's in the forces and away maybe 4 months of the year on average, he's away now and life is tough for me at the moment, im feeling as though I'm doing it all on my own

Irishmummy6363 · 26/07/2023 15:18

This is such a lovely uplifting thread!
we definitely fight a lot, but ultimately he’s the person I want to tell everything to, he’s the most wonderful dad, he’s very trustworthy, funny and relatively calm! I also still find him as (or more) attractive than I did when we were 18 and still feel like there’s a real spark between us 16 years and 2(almost 3 kids later). I miss him when he’s away and still crave alone time with him.

I dont have a DH, I have a DP.

The kindest man Ive ever met. I can be myself with him. He's non-sexist, and open to listening. Handsome, clean, not lazy. Came into my life when DCs were secondary achool age and treats them as his own, they prefer him to their bio dad. I feel safe and looked after when with him, mind you he says same about me so I guess we're a good fit. We're a team.

Elizadoloads · 26/07/2023 21:13

With him I feel loved. I've never had to question that, he'd do anything for me. ❤️

sewerrat · 26/07/2023 21:18

his work ethic.

Mrs86 · 26/07/2023 21:23

His intelligence, he always knows everything about everything but doesn't act like a know it all. He always knows how to handle any situation. He's a great dad. He's funny (even though i usually tell him he's not, when he's being silly). He is my rock! I'd be lost without him. I still look for him in a crowd. Everyone admires him and I love that.

SugarMiceInTheRain · 26/07/2023 21:23

His kindness, integrity and patience. I'm not easy to live with I'm sure, but he always puts me and the children first. He's so reliable and sensible. I can always count on him to make the right decision if I'm incapacitated/ an emotional mess/ too stressed. He has an amazing ability to calm me down and help my worries subside. Couldn't live without him.

Lovely thread.

Agreed! I am single, but it is really lovely, and so refreshing, to read these posts. Helps to counteract the toxicity of some social media.🙂

justanothermanicmonday1 · 26/07/2023 22:33

The one person on this planet who can make me feel safe. He is my happy place. Without him life is just not the same. He is the best listener, confidant & can make me laugh like no one else. He's romantic & has the best sense of humour. He isn't afraid to be vulnerable and I adore that about him. He is a family man, and continually puts his girls first.

Harryyourenogoodalone · 26/07/2023 22:45

We've been together 26 years and he's home and safety to me.
He works hard and earns good money to make sure we're financially secure. He's kind and funny with a dry dirty humour that I love.
He's a great dad and husband and is good looking and good in bed.
He just gets me and I get him. Of course there's been ups and downs but we're each others partners, have shared values and hobbies and generally enjoy each others company.

Spanky123 · 26/07/2023 22:49

This is a top top thread 👌👌👌

MummaofWA · 26/07/2023 22:57

He’s a great Dad. It makes my heart burst!

romany4 · 26/07/2023 23:07

My DH gives the best cuddles..I always say everything is ok in my world as long as his arms are around me.
He's the only person who knows my fears, my faults and my failures and loves me unconditionally anyway.
He lets me be me and he's my best friend

BookishBabe · 27/07/2023 05:32

He treats me like an absolute queen, much better than I probably deserve.

Fetches me drinks, let's me have lots of presents, does the night time wake ups with the kids, and absolutely loves and fancies me no matter what I look like!

He's gorgeous 😍
Not sure how I got so lucky, but thank you universe.

Bluelightbaby · 27/07/2023 05:57

Wow where do I start ! He’s my absolute best friend. I admire and respect him so much. He makes me laugh, spoils me, and sometimes randomly grabs my hand and dances with him. He’s singley they most caring human Ive ever met. I’m so so in love with him. Been living together for four years now and getting married next year

tuvamoodyson · 27/07/2023 07:23

Absolutely everything!

glowfrog · 27/07/2023 07:48

He's incredibly intelligent and scarily competent at a lot of things, a great cook, very giving in bed and somehow and for reasons I don't understand he seems to utterly adore me. We've always just got each other and I remember spending a weekend with him and friends of mind and they couldn't believe we do my just got together as we were so in sync in every way.

Opt1234 · 27/07/2023 07:53

My H is generous, giving and is my best friend. He makes me laugh so much and when I laugh you can see his eyes light up and vice versa. We have our up and downs but we always stick up for each other end of the day. He has my back. When I read about other husbands on this site and others in RL I feel so bloody lucky with my one. And I must appreciate him more. Thank you for this thread.

Tribute219 · 27/07/2023 08:01

Boyfriend, not husband. He's amazingly kind, hilariously funny, understanding, generous, forgiving, intelligent and honest.
I could tell him absolutely anything, from icky bodily stuff to my wildest fantasy with no shame.
Sometimes I look at him when he's smiling and can picture him as a cheeky little boy, which kind of melts my heart.
He's taught me to be more enquiring and adventurous. Basically brought me back to life after a crappy, repressive marriage. Also has the sexiest bum I've ever seen.
Vomit inducing I know, but he really is my best friend as well as my lover ❤️
