I love my husband so much.

[SkippityWooBah]

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.

My grandparents met in primary school and were married for nearly 70 years. For all those years my grandmother absolutely ADORED my grandfather. He was always her no1 person - even above their kids and grandkids whom she obviously also loved, but no one as much as my granddad. They died within less than a year of each other from completely random unrelated things. Literally couldn't live without each other.

Totally agree what a heep of shite!

Yep!
I’ll gush about DH all day.
We’ve both been married before. Both previous marriages were total shitshows 🫠
We met via a very lucky tinder swipe and it really is like he’s the other half of me.
I thought I’d been in love before…..but meeting DH proved to me that I wasn’t. Because this is what actual love feels like 🥹

Met my dh at 30 been together 17 years, I look at him and wonder how I got lucky, he’s kind and genuine. We laugh a lot, there are so many reasons why I love him one being I could bring home a menagerie of rescued animals and he’d be delighted!

There are some really good men (and women of course) in the world, MN is that safe place for a lot of people to talk about the not very nice ones. Nice to see that lots of other women have decent men in their lives.

My best friend,soul mate blah blah and I still love him even more than ever met when 18 and married within 30 days knew then and still know now 22 years later I adore the man, plus our kids and pets...We still laugh everyday, sit down talk everyday, cuddle every day, suprise each other..We have supported each others careers for the first 10 years before starting our family, and for us to always talk wether it be good or bad or difficult things, compromise and listen,don't shout,argue,swear...if we argue twice a year that would seem a lot...I recently had a bout of very bad health and hubby been a star taking on not only his full-time work but changing his shifts so he's home to cook tea, do washing,housework etc for me and kids..Very lucky and we support each other and support each others decisions regarding kids, makes for a happy family ☺️

This thread is so lovely to read. DP and I are going through a bit of a rough patch recently but we love each other so much and are determined to make our relationship a priority and work through it. X

That’s not what she said though. You’ve had to add the ‘than women’ so you can tell her off about misogyny. I interpreted it as it was written, that men’s looks improve with age. You can’t add words to change a quote then have a go at someone!

Nice thread OP, my marriage isn’t perfect but I’m happy.

I've been with DH for 20 years, since I was 21. He's my team mate through life, we have such a laugh together, I can tell him anything, and we still have a great sex life!

Oh I love Mumsnet sometimes!

When I was happy in my relationship I wouldn’t have started a thread like this. I was aware of how lucky I was.
But fair enough, I shouldn’t have clicked on the thread, although I wasn’t to know it was going to be so gushing. I thought it was going to be a ‘I love my husband so much but…’ post and I was prepared to give help and support if the OP needed it.

It’s the same reason I never posted anniversary posts on social media etc as, having been single for a while before I met my (now) exDP, I was aware of how they might make others feel who weren’t so lucky.

Well, good morning to you all too….I won’t be reading this thread again. I’m glad you’re all so happy and lucky.

I find it really sad that you read the title and only clicked on the thread because you thought a juicy negative would follow. And are openly disappointed that someone is happy in their relationship.

I really hope you find yourself in a better place soon 💐

Oh
That's nice

And still posted to piss on it when she discovered it wasn't.

No wonder hardly a week goes by without at least someone mentioning how so many MNetters are unhappy in their relationships, when threads like this attract snarky comments from some.

It's nice to have a bit of balance.

Awww I love this!! Me and my husband just celebrated our 11 year wedding anniversary on the 3rd may. I also just gave birth to our 4th child (our 3rd girl) on the 26th April!

I honestly couldn't do life without him 😄 he's my rock. We were only together for 5 weeks when I fell pregnant with our first 🫣but 14 years later, 4 kids and our furbaby dog, here we are 😄❤️ did I mention he's also really hot 😍

Same!! 20 years together, married 13 this year, one DS who’s 11. We’ve had our hard times too but always motored through and I must say in the last 2 years it’s like we’ve fallen in love all over again! Can’t explain it, he’s absolutely gorgeous, looks after us like no man I know and honestly I just adore him - loving the love for the fellas x

DH and I met at 18 and 19. We are now 54 and 55. Married 28 years, 4 grown up kids.

My heart doesn't gallop any more and there are times he drives me mad grumbling about who stacked the dishwasher wrong, but he's my safe place and my comfort zone. Lying in his arms I feel supported. We are a team and pals and lovers and we built something amazing together from being two silly young kids. I'd be bereft without him.

Nope!!
mine is the best DH ever. We’ve been through a ridiculous amount……

There are good men out there

so Lovely to hear all the happy stories. I’ve only been with my fiancé for 5 years so far, but so very very happy. My parents were happily married for 29 years before my mum sadly passed away. My grandparents celebrated 73 happy years together!

This is a lovely thread

So nice to read about happy marriages. MN can be a depressing place regarding relationships.

I have been married to a wonderful man for 30 years. He’s an incredible dad and role model and a completely perfect husband who puts me above everything else. Everyone who knows him adores him.

But it's not surprising the threads here are negative is it? Or that the pp thought yours might have a "but" attached?

People come here when they have problems and need advice.

If you are happy & everything is perfect, which is great of course, then I guess you might not be posting on the relationships part of Mumsnet because everything is great & you don't need comfort, sympathy or advice?

Maybe you meant your thread to be "inspiring" to people who are struggling but you must be able to see how it could come across as a bit, well, smug?

I've been with DP for over 20 years. He sometimes gets on my last nerve, but he's kind, generous, loyal, funny and hot as Hell. I wouldn't swap him for the world.

Together 21 years here, married 16, two DC.

He's my person. He sees me and gets me like nobody else ever has. He knows me better than I know myself sometimes. He's not perfect, but neither am I and we both just love and support each other and want each other to be happy and fulfilled. Spending time with him is still just fun. I still really love talking to him and hearing his thoughts.

In the last few years I've realised that being together so long has given us a kind of intimacy and stability that I never expected. It's made me feel the truth of that Louis de Bernieres quote that gets used at weddings. Our roots have grown towards each other underground.

Happy Saturday to you too!

The OP and others are posting about their relationships.

No it's not surprising one might think there was a 'but' attached.

That'll be because the majority of MNetters only post about the problems in their relationships.

Hence this thread being a nice balance but as always, a minority just can't seem to stop themselves posting snarky comments.

Me too, after kissing many frogs, and being endlessly unfaithful to everyone else I was with, I found my man 15 years ago and he is just everything. More handsome with age and I look at him and always marvel how bloody fit he is. I think being kind and an amazing dad, husband, son, boss, friend etc contributes to his amazingness.
Yes, we have had tough times but we are a great team.
