Can I brag about my husband for a minute?

CJisinShape

This is getting a lot of unwarranted hate.

Haters gonna hate.

The other day, my pastor said, what's wrong with happiness? My five year old blurts out, "Nothing!" A five year old has figured this out. Sigh.

I think it's hard for people to hear about happy relationships when they are suffering in a cold singles scene. Everyone wants to be loved, but all that's being offered is hookups. Really sad out there. I think these types of posts trigger unhappy feelings for some.

I was going to start another thread with the title "Can I brag about..." and say something totally snarky along the lines of what you just stated so much more compassionately and eloquently than I would have. Glad I didn't. Plus it would have probably just incited more angry bitter and hostile responses so... best to leave that alone. Thanks for inspiring me to be a better person

You're welcome and thank you for the thank you. We're all working on something!

OP not sure if you gave up on reading responses or not,
but you and your man sound adorable my guy isnt much for romance (country boy lol) but he takes the kids and lets me nap, he goes to work and pays our bills, he comes home and helps me fold laundry, and he loved me when I was chunky lol.

This thread gives me the heebie jeebies.

If my man entered the bathroom and opened the curtain on me while I showered I certainly would want something more than a choc. covered cherry in my mouth. I would be offended if that is all I got. :ohwell:

Yeah, no kidding.

Eta: we did just spend the weekend together celebrating our 12 year anniversary by installing a new floor and deck carpeting in his fishing boat. We are so freaking romantic.

At least you remembered your anniversary. My fiance and I have both forgotten a couple ...

Yeah, we usually are both working every year, and this year we were supposed to be off, at the same time. Lol, it didn't happen, he got called in, so whatever. He for some reason is convinced we are married an extra year longer though. He doesn't believe me when I tell him otherwise.

We moved in together about a month after we started dating. I mentioned something the other day about how fast we moved in together (we were talking about a friend who had moved kind of quickly in a relationship) and he said, "Yeah, but we were together a year before that."

He argued and argued with me about it, but he moved in in May 2005 and I didn't even meet him until January 2005. I was living 1,000 miles away until then!

It was not pre-chewed I promise! Maybe I should have been more clear about that lol

Doesn't matter. He is not allowed to eat off of food I'm eating, we do not share utensils, we do not drink out of the same glass or bottle and he BETTER NOT USE MY TOWEL. Ick. Ew. Yuck.

I know it's weird. I know it makes no sense. But yuck. Just yuck.

If it was in your mouth, I don't want it in mine.

Bet y'all have an awesome sex life!!!!!!!! :laugh:

Well, I'm not sure what kind of sex you have, but we have never incorporated using each other's towels or drinking out of the same glass in the bedroom. Can you enlighten me? Clearly I'm missing something.

Ladies - I know we piss and moan about our men sometimes, but how about some positivity? What is the last sweet or romantic thing your guy did for you? Share!

Nothing good to say when you tell the then 5 month old baby to shut the F' up all my respect for you goes out the door

What just happened here?

I wish this was explained. The suspense is killin' me

I think it is very sweet. It shows that he appreciates you and knows what is romantic to you. Obviously you appreciate him too. We have been married for 26 years and still do little things for each other that mean a lot to us but would mean nothing to others (or they wouldn't approve). It doesn't really matter what others think. I get up at 5.30 to make my hubby's breakfast and lunch, even though I don't need to be up until 7.30 for work. He is working 14 hour days at the moment because we need the money, so it is the least I can do. Some people think I am crazy because he could do it himself BUT I DON'T CARE!

My hubby did an uphill hike with me today at my pace to keep me company and encourage me instead up ravcing up the hill

That was sweet.

I have a large number of friends on here whom have recently had babies (intentionally added them all for that reason common interests and all) and so many of them are just now going back to work. There have been 4 different ones, just today, that returned to work from maternity leave this Monday morning and I truly feel sad for them. The thought of leaving my baby right now, just the thought, tears me apart inside.
My children are the absolute most important thing in the world to me and I want to be with them all I can.

My point? The reason I am truly grateful for and loving my husband so much more today is because he feels the same way and is out busting his butt to provide so that I don't have to go to work and I can be home with my baby and be there for our children. My husband is the greatest is so very many ways. I am just feeling so grateful today for his commitment to this family.

I could brag about my hubby until the cows come home. He is sweet & romantic, just plain adorable and has lost 110lbs and kept it off. He taught me about weight loss and fitness, and supported me every step of the way (though I've gained and lost the same 20lbs several times). He is so smart, and so funny. Children and animals love him and flock to him, he's like a Disney princess.

He held me and cried with me when our daughter died, after a perfectly healthy pregnancy. He picked me up when I would have hit rock bottom, and he holds my broken heart together. Without him I'd be lost. He sees beauty and strength in me that I do not. He goes to work and pinches pennies so I can stay home. He is a great provider, a great husband and a wonderful father.

I'm so sorry for the lady who's husband died - you posted on pg.2 and I can't view your screenname from this page. I simply cannot imagine the pain because it would hurt too much. But I am keeping you in my thoughts.

...And yeah ... I guess the rainbow puke was appropriate, now that I think of it. We're that cheesy couple people love to hate LOL...

I feel you, OP. After 14 years, my husband and I frequently annoy people because we still act like newlyweds. :drinker:

I'm trying to figure out why everyone is hating on the OP. I mean so taking chocolate from your SO's mouth isn't your cup of tea but there's no need to be angry over it.

The butthurt on MFP is just amazing sometimes.

Indeed.

Here we have someone who wanted to share something she thought was sweet and she gets jumped on for "bragging". But if she were to to post about what an @sshat her husband was there would be a lot of sympathy and "Oh honey. I know what you mean!' and story sharing.

SMH. I just don't get it.

Great point. I think my next post will be “Can I complain about my husband for a minute?” just to tally up the actual relevant responses and see how far they outnumber the ones here.

I have a can of whipped cream but my boyfriend is too paleo to play with me and it. :-(
He wants ice.
Apparently Ice is paleo enough but whipped cream from a can is not.

This made me laugh out loud

Well, not my husband but anytime my SO and I are walking down his street he places me on the opposite side of where this dog always hangs out because he randomly attacks people sometimes, and I don't know I just feel so safe anytime he does things like that to protect me. To me that's the way he shows me that he loves me.

My hubby does something similar - anytime we're walking near a road or through a parking lot etc, he puts himself between me and the lane of traffic. I guess he figures if he gets hit by a car, he can shove me out of the way before it gets to me.

For the record:
I haven’t given up. I keep coming back hoping for the positive responses (thank you !) that are sprinkled amongst the disgusted (sorry), bitter (not my problem) and downright rude (get a life) ones.
