Will never forget... the loveliest/most beautiful comments you heard from DP/DH

Hi all,

To try to counteract the negativity in one of the threads in this talk (which many of you will recognize), I would like to invite you to think about the loveliest, most beautiful comment your partner/husband has ever said to you.

I will start with mine:

We had been talking about something that once happened to me, when I thought I had a very serious disease and few weeks to live, and how I had been planning to spend my savings going to Disneyland (I was obviously very young when that happened . Just to continue the conversation, I turned to my DP and asked him: "so, if you had only some weeks to live, what would you do?". He thought about it for a short while, then looked and me, and said: "I would ask you to marry me".

We had only been together by few months back then. It took me a while to be able to say anything.

Come on everyone, let us all hear the words from your partners that proof that some men are good at making us feel great

Hugs,

Aurynne

"Will you marry me?"

He said "Well done babe" when I had just given birth to his child.

There are loads more but they are the ones which come to mind.

I am very of you all

You are all very lucky ladies

Aurynne, that was a sweet reply to me, thanks. Sorry for my cynicism, DH has just buggered off on a "trial separation" and I've been spending way too long man-bashing with equally jaded girlfriends.

I look forward to reading about your DP's lovely proposal when it comes! I will be the first to congratulate you that you (unlike me!) snared one of the good 'uns.

My favourite was a text from DH, minutes after I'd detailed in a fairly broad spectrum what I considered to be his failings (one of those "You know what your problem is, don't you?" diatribes conversations) - I stomped off in high dudgeon with the dog, and the phone went three minutes later with :

"You know, we both have our faults, but I can't imagine being with anyone but you. Come home, the kettle's on, and if needs be, the corkscrew's handy".

I love him muchly for that

Roopoo · 11/10/2009 22:42

Mine told me that I was the most beautiful woman in the world when he found me weeping over my ruined body (have PND and low self confidence)
He compliments me every day... and tells me he loves every single stretchmark as they are reminders of how my body gave him his DD xx

I love him soooooo much xxxxxxxxx

Years ago, in bed, asleep. Woke up to find him staring at me and said "I love watching you sleep"! Was v embarrassed!!

BEAUTIFUL, you are a very sweet woman going through a rough patch in life. I did take no offence at your words whatsoever. But I'm not going to let you off the hook so easily! I want some positivity from you too, so please come back to this thread and think hard. I want you to find a beautiful thing that any of the partners you have had said to you, that made you feel happy and loved. I won't rest until I get a smile from you.

There, I'm waiting!

My late OH and I met when we were in our 40's and both of us had all but given up hope of ever meeting someone and falling in love again.

He said that he felt so lucky to have found me and that he was so happy. After we'd been together 6 weeks, he asked me to marry him.

Unfortunately, he died a few months later, when I was 6 months pregnant but I do know that his last word was my name.....

tothesea · 12/10/2009 10:20

On my 36th birthday me and DP had gone away for the weekend, having a great time when I suddenly got a horrible sinking feeling and started wailing that I would be 40 in 4 years... he turned to me and said 'you will be as beautiful at 40 as you are now and you will have a little 2 year old running around' This meant so much to me as it meant he wanted to have children with me and was sure it would happen - and he was right DS was 2 1/2 when I turned 40!

ParisFrog · 12/10/2009 10:52

This is a much easier thread for me to post in than the other one! (believe me I know how lucky I am).

One example, we planned to go for a walk one afternoon. I had no real preference so left it up to DP. He showed me the walk he'd planned, saying "and then we can come back this way, stopping off at the Haagendazs (sp!) café for an ice cream"...

He isn't a big fan of ice cream

Lizzylou · 12/10/2009 10:55

When we were first together DH snuggled up to me on the sofa and said "I just can't get close enough to you".
He regularly emails me/calls to say he has just had an "Overwhelming rush of love for you".
He tells me he loves me and that I am beautiful, capable and fabulous every day. Thats mainly because I am moaning because I can't cope/think I am crap though!

Lexilicious · 12/10/2009 11:05

Ooooh a thread of loveliness.
First date: I said something a bit self-deprecating/unconfident about being crackers... he said, "yes, you're crackers and you're a cracker too". Two months and we were talking about forever, another four months and I got pg. Every day he says something nice but the thing I love the most is a kiss when he leaves for work and I'm still snuggling with baby. And the way he totally crumbled with love when baby was born and asked me to marry him (again).

MamaG · 12/10/2009 11:15

I was moaning about my stretchmarks and insisting he MUST hate them, he stroked them and said "I love them. They show what an amazing woman you to have our beautiful children. How could I dislike them?"

When DS1 was born, he was navy blue and just flopped onto the bed. MWs whisked him to the resuscitator thingy and fora minute, there was no sound. We both thought he was dead. Luckioly he was absolutely fine and when DH and I were talking about it later, he said "I wonder if he did die and your Dad turned him around and sent him back saying 'oh no you don't its not your time' " - the thought of my Dad watching over me and my babies was so lovely.

I came across some photos yesterday that DH had taken of BabyG with his phone, while I was still under the GA after his birth. I said to dh "wow just think, these were taken before I even saw him". DH said "yes, I took them for you, I knew you'd want to see him as soon as he was born" - BabyG is almost a year old and thats the first time he ahs told me that

To counter those soppy comments, last night he farted near an open cupboard and then closed the door quickly, sniffed and then complained "oh, I tried to trap that in the cupboard"

cissycharlton · 12/10/2009 11:30

DP tells me quite regularly that he thinks I'm the most fascinating person he's ever known (in a good way I hasten to add). I think it's a wondeful compliment.

titferbrains · 12/10/2009 11:34

ooh am feeling teary now.

DD described me as "the glass half full goddess" in my birthday card after a very hard year - DD1 has had cancer. I was extremely chuffed because I've been a grumpy pessimist for YEARS.

He also sang a little song to my answerphone on his way home - drunk, on a busy train and IN FRONT OF MY MOTHER (I was in hosp with DD). It was very romantic and I love that he didn't care who heard him.

Poledra · 12/10/2009 11:36

Many years ago, DH very honestly told me that no, he did not think I was pretty - but I was without doubt the most handsome woman he had ever seen, in a Jane-Austen-ish way of using the word (I am quite tall, and do hold my self well - years of DMum slapping my bottom and saying 'Bottom and tummy in, shoulders back!') and that handsome lasts forever while pretty fades.

He dug himself out of that one well, doncha think??

LOL at MamaG's DH trapping his farts in cupboards!

blushes · 12/10/2009 11:51

I'm teary too! Really nice to read this thread.

For me, it's probably his first words to me when I burst out of the bathroom with the positive pregnancy test after a year of trying and one miscarriage: "Hello, mama!"

And since then his lovely encouraging words while I've been pregnant- eg "you're doing such a good job growing our baby". And especially when he speaks to my belly to tell the baby that mummy is doing really well looking after her.

Soppy? Maybe. But it means so much.

ducati · 12/10/2009 13:15

"I think of you every second and in between every second." Unfortunately was not my dh who said it and desperately trying to forget about the man who did (not doing too well on the forgetting thing, clearly). Please forgive that this is post does not really qualify....

ParisFrog · 12/10/2009 14:56

Completely out of the blue, DP once said that he thought my stomach would make a lovely "baby home" (sounds soppy but English isn't his first language) and that I'd make a great mum one day.

He's also said that he hopes our DC will have my ears (?!)

SexyDomesticatedDad · 12/10/2009 15:47

I love you - not sure exactly when 1st said, possibly on a train from Leeds to Sheffield?

Yes, I will marry you

I'm pregnant DS1

I'm pregnant DS2

I'm pregnant DS3

OMG tears how did this happen I'm pregnant DS4

Me: I don't want you to marry me just because of the baby
Him: Why do you want me to marry you then?
Me: Because I'm completely wonderful and you can't live without me?
Him: I can't!

Him: You turn me on even more now you're pregnant (to which I replied "I hoe you're not developing a fetish"

Ceasnake · 14/10/2009 14:19

hope, I hope...not hoe

i'm happy to report that i can put a powst in this (my previous man gave me no such compliments....)

OH is constantly telling me how wonderful and gorgeous i am. still don't believe him, but it makes me smile anyway!

he texts me to tell me he needs a cuddle from me if he's done something really good (like playing on the organ at a cathedral or catching his first fish of the holiday)

and i told him i love thunderstorms and standing outside in them, which he thought was complete madness, but the next thunderstorm we had, we were both at work and he sent me a text saying "i'd like a storm when i'm with you so we can go outside and i can kiss you at the same time"
dangerous but very sweet.
