Me! I'm very lucky.

ssd · 22/06/2005 18:01

Me too.
My dh is the most decent, nicest person I know, not to mention gorgeous! And a brilliant dad.

dizzymama · 22/06/2005 18:07

I have to add my name to the list, I've been with Dh since I was 16 (I'm now nearly 30 ) and we've been married for seven years. He is the most selfless person I know and he makes me feel so secure - ok, you can all barf now!!!!

QueenEagle · 22/06/2005 18:13

A chance meeting brought me and dh together - if i hadn't gone round to my friend's house at the time I did, we would never have met.

I am a typical Cancer, he a steady, reliable Taurus. Apart from the odd ups and down we work really well together and are always laughing. We share the same wicked/warped sense of humour and are totally on each others' wavelength. Funny thing is, it wasn't til after we married that we found out just how much this was so. Spooky, in a good way!

just to add to my post about DH.

He's driven down to Essex and back today (from Northamptonshire) for a meeting, and a meeting in the office this afternoon.

He got back at 5.30pm...........at 5.40pm he was crawling round the living room on all fours with BOTH DS's sat on his back, then both DS's took it in turns for him to lift them over his head and onto the sofa (he was sat on the floor with his back against it), then proceeded to have to chase both boys being a lion LOL.

what a lovely thread - great idea!

My dh is fab, thoughtful, caring, considerate a good listener and best of all very in touch with his feelings! He is a fantastic dad to our ds and loves being part of our little family.

Bleeeuuuurrrggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh!

berolina · 22/06/2005 20:59

Meeeeeee!!!

dh is a GEM. He is sweet, funny, affectionate, different enough from me to give some meaty and sometimes heated discussions, similar enough in things that matter for us to have the same aims and attitudes to life, does everything he can to help and support me, forgives me all my neurotic stressiness and occasional unfairness to him . He is SO good with ds and is just as involved with him as I am. At ds's birth, which wasn't all that easy, the midwife said afterwards that he was the best midwife there ! I absolutely KNOW I can rely on him completely - there's more chance of the moon being made of green cheese than of him having an affair. He has hardly any of the typical 'male' hang-ups, is very down-to-earth and somehow really confident in himself without being arrogant (well, most of the time ) - he's one of those people whose secure sense of self gives him the impetus to radiate it out to others and help them. He's currently sitting on the sofa cuddling ds and singing a song to him . We've been together 7 1/2 years and married for nearly 5 and I still can't believe my luck.

hellomama · 22/06/2005 21:26

wonderful thread!

I thank my lucky stars that DH and I met. After being with a complete idiot for a few years, meeting DH was like a breath of fresh air! He'd call when he said he would, we'd meet and he'd not only be on time but be enthusiastic about doing things together, he's always held my hand when out and about and he is so georgeous! And dare I even say it but... the sex does get better and better!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now we have DS he is just the absolute best dad. I didn't change a nappy for a WHOLE week because i had awful stitches and he had to teach me how to do it! I don't actually know what I would do without him. [you can now all move away from the computer to be sick]

Heathcliffscathy · 22/06/2005 21:29

anorak, that's an amazing post.

QueenOfQuotes · 22/06/2005 21:30

"I didn't change a nappy for a WHOLE week because i had awful stitches and he had to teach me how to do it!"

LOL reminds me of a few weeks back when DH rang from work and asked me to run their bath ready for him to bath them when he arrived home.

I duly did it..............and it was apparenty "too cold - they have it much warmer than that you know"..........DS's are 4 3/4yrs and nearly 19 months

KBear · 22/06/2005 21:42

My DH and I used to play together at infant school so we've know each other 32 years! We met up again when I was about 21, engaged after 6 months, married after two years, that was 13 years ago. Still love him madly. We bicker, we have a moan about each other sometimes but we're good together, we love being parents, we laugh alot, we've had tough times when things were hard to cope with (DH's accident for one thing) but we're rock solid. And how about this... driving along on Monday back from swimming, Van Morrison on the radio singing "have I told you lately that I love you" - me blubbing like a wally.

bonym · 22/06/2005 21:45

Me! My dh ALWAYS puts me and our dd's first, despite the fact that he has a very demanding job and is frequently tired after work. He is the kindest, most thoughtful person I have ever met. We often say that when we see other couples together, none of them seem to laugh together the way that we do.

When I was married to my ex, I used to be envious of other peoples' relationships. Now, I believe that dh and I have the best relationship of anyone I know. I actually feel embarassed sometimes when out with friends as they moan about their partners but I can't join in and it would feel like boasting if I told them about how wonderful he is.

I sometimes can't believe how lucky I am to have such a wonderful man who thinks I am wonderful too .

Thanks aaliyahsmum for starting such a great thread!

bonym · 22/06/2005 21:46

Kbear - when we got married, I walked in to VM's "Have I told you lately?" (Played on the harp!!)

collision · 22/06/2005 21:48

My DH is the best H in the whole wide world!

He adores me and our 2 boys.....he is a fabulous father and provider and I love him so much.

We celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary in May and I love him more now than I did when we married. He is also a fantastic chef and I never have to cook.

He has also given me two GORGEOUS baby boys.

We also work together and are pretty much together most of the time. I wouldnt have it any other way.

KBear · 22/06/2005 21:54

"you fill my heart with gladness
take away my sadness
ease my troubles, that's what you do".

It sums up the whole point of being together!

norash · 22/06/2005 21:59

I DO, I DO. I DO NOT THINK THAT THERE IS A BETTER MAN THAN MY HUBBY OUT THERE.

I LOVE HIM TO BITS AND HE ABSOLUTELY ADORES ME. BIG

jasper · 22/06/2005 22:08

sorry to be negative but I don't know anyone in real life who has a GREAT relationship.
There are some good ones out there(not many!) but no great ones that I can see.

There are several absolute stinkers in my immediate circle.

norash · 22/06/2005 22:26

I thought this was a feel good thread, if you want to be negative please do it on another thread. That is not why this thread was started.

LEAVE IMMEDIATELY

jasper · 23/06/2005 00:53

are you the mumsnet police?

suzywong · 23/06/2005 06:00

my dh is a pretty good egg
Been married 11 years, been through stressful times and a lot of pressure financially, one major S&itstorm (my fault).

We are stronger now and happier than we have been since we first met, he is a fabulous hands on daddy and takes care of us all.

Gush

Harriett · 23/06/2005 10:40

what a lovely thread!
I thought my dh was one in a million, but there do seem to be some good 'uns out there! We now have about 3 weeks until our first little princess makes her appearance and although the prospect of being a mummy is pretty terrifying, I know that I can rely on my dh totally, he is kind, calm, generous and caring. I don't know one person who could ever say a bad word against him as he is one of life's lovely people- I do think that I am one of the luckiest women around to have met him. I can't wait to see him with our baby, I think he'll be a great daddy albeit a bit soft and let her get away with murder!
sorry for the gush-fest!

norash · 23/06/2005 15:58

maybe Jasper.

joash · 23/06/2005 16:18

Me, me, me, me, ...

crystaltips · 23/06/2005 20:04

me too

dejags · 23/06/2005 20:33

me & dh are very compatible, we have lots in common and get on very well as friends. we also love each other passionately which means we have the odd screaming match, but on the whole we are very good together
