...about your spouse/significant other/best friend?

I have seen lots of sad stories and complaints about the people in our fellow MFPers' lives. I would like to change that! :):heart:


What I love most about my boyfriend is his awesome sense of humor!

What I love most about my best friend is that, no matter how long we go without talking due to our crazy schedules, we always pick right back up where we left off.

    hmmmm- there are a lot of things I love about my husband- but I guess what I love most is every night he chooses to come home to me.


    Best friend- same thing as you already said- we just start up where we left off and nothing is off limits. been friends for over 30 years.

    What I love most about my fiance is how caring and supportive he is. He is my biggest fan and biggest motivator. With out him, I don't think I could do this. He makes me get off my *kitten* and exercise. He also gladly eats every low fat, low calorie meal I put on the dinner table. I know that I am extremely lucky to have someone like him in my life.

    What I love about my husband the most is his constant support throughout my journey! He always told me that he loves me and thinks I look fine and never pushed me to lose weight. Now he cheers when I reach a milestone and even spoils me for the milestone! Examples: Once I lost 25 pounds he took me shopping for new clothes and once I learned that size medium pants fit--a manicure!

    And my best friend is my husband! All 155lbs (soaking wet) of him!

    What I love most about my BFF (and yes at 50 this is how we refer to each other :laugh:) is the way she always takes what I say the way I mean it.

    And she is not mean....................ever.

    Example: she moved to MA and I am still in FL. I felt like we were drifting apart due to the distance.

    I loved American Idol so she calls on Wed night at 8pm. I was kinda peeved because she knows that is AI night...........she says "I know! We are watching together!" and we did, the entire season one of the nights we watched the show and made comments and laughed and cried.

    God I adore that woman!!:love::heart: :love:

    I am never "in trouble" with my husband. He is truly my safe place, and he never ever assumes the parent role. Even when I F up really bad, he has my back one million percent. And I do the same for him.

    Example: I got pulled over for speeding. I was driving, ahem, VERY fast. The resulting ticket was shockingly expensive. When I called him to tell him, he laughed and said, "well at least you got to have a little fun before the cops got you!" I know a million other husbands who would not have reacted that way!!!

    This is the most important thing to me, and it makes our relationship rock solid. We can trust each other with any piece of news, because we already know the other one will not jump into judgment/anger.

    I love how loving and supportive my spouse is. He cheers me on, helps me keep on track, supports my decision to not eat out or to eat at healthier restaurants. He goes walking with me when I ask him to, even though he'd much rather stay in. He massages me when my muscles ache because I pushed myself hard that day. He's amazing. Every part of him. I'm so fortunate!

    What I love most about my boyfriend is that he lets me just be myself, and makes me so comfortable and confident about myself. He encourages me to be more open and spontaneous and treats me the way I've always wanted to be treated.

    My best girlfriend and I share like telepathic vibes....we say the same things at the same times, we have lots in common, and people consider us to be twins. My best guy friend is alot like my boyfriend, and he's been my best friend for almost 10 years now. I can be myself with him, no judgements at all, and I always look to him for his opinion.

    I love my kids, well because they are my kids, and during the darkest time in my life, they were my anchor and steady rock, and kept me from losing myself and giving up.

    What I love the most is how my husband will do anything to make sure I feel happy and taken care of or try to anyway. He is accomodating and truly lives by the thought - do unto others....... He could have his pick of many gorgeous and talented women in his line of work (theatre and entertainment) but he chooses me. He makes me feel truly adored for who I am. He is my best friend

    (then there is of course the other stuff.....:devil: )

    Awwwwe. ^_^ Like I said, it's hard to pick just one thing! I love everything about mine too. I just notice myself saying to him 'You have the best sense of humor!' allll the time. Helps that we've been friends for 4 years.

    I love that my husband is exactly the way he described himself on the internet dating sight he found me on. He described that he wanted to find someone who was active, so that he could cheer her on and/or participate with her in whatever she loves to do.

    He has cheered me on through running events, including the time he packed his bike on a plane, so he could ride up the marathon course as far as he was allowed. The course was on a highway that was closed to all traffic until the course ended through town the last three miles. But a bike path paralelled the highway for about 7 miles. My husband looked for me amidst hundreds of runners. I spotted him first. But he cheered me on through about 4 grueling miles of that race. Then he went back and got my family together for my big finish.

    He also has been through so much. So many unfair financial things, and almost losing his son to a bike accident. He is a ROCK amidst adversity.

    He is my TOTAL INSPIRATION!

    My husband has amazing integrity and work ethic! I admire him so much!

    I am not sure who I consider my best friend as I have several very dear friends....probably my sister in law who is on my side no matter what. She knows my heart and I know hers. God has blessed me with her and with some other amazing chicas who love me through this life.

    Wow, soooo awesome!!

    That reminds me of the manager of my gym...she did a century bike ride and her hubby finished first. He came back to the last check point with a cold towel for her and jogged with her up the last half mile with his hand on her back, cheering her on!

    Integrity is a rare thing these days. One of my 'must haves' for a bf. And I got it! :)

    My wife: her unstoppable dedication to her family. I never have to wonder if me or the kids are a priority in her life. Tons of other things to list too, but that is just what came to mind first.

    My son: His relentlessness. 100% is so in his rear view mirror. When he is bouncing on the trampoline he isn't satisfied with mediocre jumps, he's got to flip all over the place and bounce as high as he can. When he's playing action figures it is like he IS a superhero (and to me he just may be). He is totally committed to whatever he is doing at the moment and the creativity just doesn't stop. Oh, and he's a great snuggler at the end of the day too.

    My daughter: Her strong will and independent streak. It can be annoying right now at the age of three, but it is one of the traits she has that will pay off for her in the long run. That, and she's an entertainer... always has to make sure everyone in the room is having a good time and smiling.

    I love my husband because of how PATIENT he is with me. I'm feisty and stubborn and always have to be right, but his patience subdues me and that's a very rare thing for any one to accomplish with me. I am a woman of very little inherent patience, and everyone that knows me (and loves me in spite of it!) knows that about me. The lord knows I try ;) I also love that he is soooo incredibly supportive of me in everything that I do. He reassures me that even if I don't believe in myself at times, he believes in me ALL the time. We all need that in our lives and I'm so happy God blessed me with him.

    I love my best friend TOO and am so incredibly happy for her and the way her life is going. She is truly a phoenix who continually rises from the ashes and proves to the world that nothing can stop her from reaching her dreams. She's been through a lot, especially by putting up with me!! LOL And in some of my darkest hours, she's been there for me. I'm proud to call her my "sister from another mister" :) And we need to find time to talk more often. I will work on that!

    Since it's so hard to pick one thing, I'll just say his epic awesomeness. That should cover it all. lol

    I've even posted about how awesome he is in my blog. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/SabrinaJL/view/best-husband-ever-and-an-nsv-85906

    My kids, they rock! Each is unique in their own way. C is 20 and he can talk to anyone, he can sit on the floor with a 6 year old and talk about pokemon,discuss politics with our Mayor, or hang out with some police officers and have them all laughing. At one concert, I remember while we were waiting in line, within minutes everyone had surrounded him and he was telling them all the latest music news. When he goes into the video game store, he knows more than the people who works there. He is creating his own music/video game blog/website. M is 19, he's the best athlete I've ever seen. Bats righty/lefty, puts righty/lefty, first time he ever tried to snowboard he was doing jumps. Everything comes so easy to him, yet he doesn't need to brag. With this great athleticism, comes risk though. 2 broken arms and thousands of stitches later, I still come outside to see him on the roof of our house on his bike wanting to jump off. Good thing he has a high tolerance to pain! Z is 10 and he's an angel. The sweetest, nicest, most polite kid you will ever meet, with hundreds of freckles, bright blue eyes, and the biggest dimples! He's laid back, easygoing, just a pleasure to be around. Unlike his big brother, sports don't come as easy to him, but he's out there everyday practicing and always gives 100%. He's a bit of a class clown, but his teachers can't ever disciplinehim because when he gets caught he flashes those dimples and melts their hearts! His basketball coach gave him the MVP of the team, said he was a selfless player, and the nicest kid he's had the pleasure to coach. W the baby, the only girl, is 6. She's so independent, her first words were "me do." She's fearless, she can hang with her 3 older brothers, no problem. She's determined, she was delayed in her speech, and she works hard everyday and has made huge strides. She's helpful, always asking what I need her to do. She is caring and generous, always concerned about others. She just wants to please and make her mother, her teacher, her brothers proud. She's already an activist, and she wants to fund-raise this summer for endangered species. Of course, they all have their faults too, any given day some combination of the 4 are arguing, they tease and annoy each other like siblings do, they don't always listen to their mother the first time. But a day doesn't go by that I don't thank god for them.

    The thing I love most about my 10 month old is that he is such a morning person. He *always* wakes up with a smile. The thing I love most about both my husband and best friend is that they are both the most loyal people I've ever been around in my life. I know without a doubt they will always be there for me no matter what. We are all three best friends...they were bff's growing up!
