Anyone on here actually got a decent man?

[ALMummy]

I am curious to know whether anyone on MN actually has a DH or DP who does all or most of the following:

1. Is faithful
2. Does not behave abusively towards you either physically, verbally or emotionally in any way.
3. Is fair when it comes to finances.
4. Helps with housework and childcare.
5. Is supportive about things that are important to you.

I ask this because I read so many sad stories on here and in RL my friends all seem to have utter pigs for partners and I am beginning to wonder if ANYONE actually has a decent relationship, do they actually exist? How common is it? Am I living in Cloud Cuckoo land to expect any or all of the above?

Yeah I do, I dont always appreciate him either. Then I hear about other peoples hubbies and think "I so would not stay with someone like that" and look at DH with new eyes

He helps with the children, works hard, sorts the kitchen out while I put the kids to bed, tells me when I look nice and thinks Im clever.

I just wish when he was in a bad mood he would just say "you know what im in a really crap mood today so give me a wide berth" instead he growls at everyone whilst claiming he is "fine"...If im in a bitch of a mood I just feel its better to tell everyone then they can ignore me.

Yes, my dh is al of those things. I must admit I still get pissed off with him though!

He is faithful (or he bloody better be)

A great dad to ds.

He always cares for ds when he's not at work.

All his wages go into my account as he doesn't have a clue about money or how much the mortgage is! He never resents me buying things, even silly things for ds or a fab handbag which I just HAD to have!

Not so good around the house although he occassionally cooks. Example: He honestly thought we'd made a seriously great investment in our living room carpet because in his words 'It never looks like it needs to be vacuumed, I've not once hoovered in here since we bought the house!' He was suprised when he realised that I vacuum every other day! He honestly just thought it never needed doing. Also things like picking up clothes, he thinks that if he leaves it long enough it will just magically do it's self. More fool me for doing it but he knows I can't stand mess!

Altogether though, not a bad catch! He is lovely and never ever violent or emotionally threatening. He works his arse off for us though I bitch at him all the time for being at work all the time

Buckets, might try that one, wouldn't trust his aim though. He's got his own wardrobe though, so he can fill his boots!

literally

Yep, my DP is spot on, ticks all the boxes and is lovely. We love each other to bits. He's amazing and I'm so lucky to have him. xxx

I have but I probably don't appreciate him enough!
