There are so many negative threads on here I thought I would start a positive one.

Been with my DH since 15 years old, together 25 years. He's gorgeous, kind, funny. Always been faithful. A wonderful father. Really takes care of me, in every way possible.

I was lay with him last night and just wondered how I could still love him SO MUCH after 25 years.

Of course there have been hard times but we have always got through them together and I'm so grateful for him.

Snap I’ve been with my partner since I was 16 been together 41 years still love and fancy him like I did all those years ago.

MrsKeats · 09/05/2025 22:22

That's lovely op.
I am ten years into my second marriage and my husband is great. No complaints at all.
Some of the stuff I read on here make me feel very fortunate.

It’s so nice to hear the other side of the story for once.

I probably fancy him more now. Men look so much better as they approach 40!

You're both very lucky! X

Only 15 years married here but I also adore my husband, he’s the best person I’ve ever met.

ShamrockShenanigans · 09/05/2025 22:25

Lovely to hear OP.

I'm just about to celebrate my 21st wedding anniversary.

We've been together 24 years and have known each other since we were 14.

I still absolutely love him to bits ❤

stonebrambleboy · 09/05/2025 22:28

We met fifty years ago when I was sixteen. He's gorgeous.

DrEllie · 09/05/2025 22:31

This is lovely! I thought this yesterday, I've been with DH for 24 years, 2 kids. Not all plain sailing but still love and respect each other. He's not a big pet fan and I can't live without, so I really admire him reluctantly becoming a dog dad

TeenLifeMum · 09/05/2025 22:32

My dh is my absolute rock. Met age 17, dated from 19 when I was at a real low point. Dh is my cheerleader and I adore him. I’m now 43 and we have 3 dc. We’ve been through hard times but never with each other.

toottoot3 · 09/05/2025 22:35

Nearly 30 years together, he drives me mad and it's a struggle sometimes but we love each other dearly, laugh constantly and show love and care daily

Skipthisbit · 09/05/2025 22:39

Mine is awesome too. And good lord do I still fancy the pants of him which according to MN apparently makes me a pervert and sex pest! Can’t imagine being in a relationship where that isn’t the case.

saltnvinegarhulahoops · 09/05/2025 22:44

I'm so glad to have my DH. He's quirky, and mine, and the chemistry is there, and he is honestly the best dad. When things got tough after babies he asked for couples counselling as he didn't want to be divorced like his parents. He puts in the time and effort, and is present. Couldn't love him more (except if he could learn to put the shower mat back up to dry and close drawers fully).

TheaBrandt1 · 09/05/2025 22:47

Don’t you worry about tempting fate? Everytime I’ve said something like that in the past it comes back to bite me on the arse.

Actually said to Dh how dd2 as a teen has been so easy and given us nothing to worry about. A week later a maelstrom of a nightmare ensues. I have other examples.

No, I don’t believe in the concept of ‘tempting fate’. If things go wrong between DH and I in the future it won’t be because I once wrote a nice post about him on the internet.

jealy · 09/05/2025 22:48

So many of you met when you were young. That first love is so special, I wonder to this day about mine that got away.

MrsSkylerWhite · 09/05/2025 22:51

Nice.

37 years together here, married 36. Nearly lost him three times now. 2018, late last year/early this year.

I'd climb over Jason Mamoa to reach him.

MrsSkylerWhite · 09/05/2025 22:52

Honest! 🤣

Huh?

So you never take the time to appreciate the good things in your life because you think something bad will follow if you do?

Thats very sad and sounds like intrusive thoughts.

You are very lucky, OP. I loved my ex partner but he still left me and is now being a bastard over the finances. I’ve been feeling wretched. It’s good to see a positive post but spare a thought for those of us who aren’t so lucky.

Cucy · 09/05/2025 22:54

That’s so lovely.

I honestly can’t imagine ever being with someone for that long.

I swear every 5 years I’m a completely different person and so I find it incredible how 2 people can still be compatible after so many years together.

I remember feeling utterly overwhelmed by how much I loved him and it wasn't always healthy in our teens, but looking back it must have been so difficult for a teenager to deal with that level of emotion towards the first person they're ever in a relationship with.

Birdsongsinging · 09/05/2025 22:57

I dunno! I’m a sceptic and think that you have to give away something to be ‘so in love’ after so long! It doesn’t seem true to me!

We have definitely changed but have done it together. We don't agree on everything but don't argue much. We just don't talk about the things we don't agree on 🤣
