GTKY- Tell me something amazing about your SO

[missys]

My husband asked me to tell him why I love him so I thought this could be fun. It can be a talent, story, habit, attribute, or whatever aspect about your SO you find amazing.

[mrsclark731]

My husband makes me laugh. I can honestly say that is what set him apart from the get go.

He came from nothing, and is a self made man. I love the hustle, the desire to be successful and provide for his family.

On top of it all... He is loving, compassionate, and we have amazing physical chemistry. He is my best friend and we are both glad we never settled in life... For anything.

[missys]

My husband teaches inner city kids. He is so dedicated to not only helping them learn and excel in school, but he also wants to help them become better people. He is in constant contact with parents to let them know what's going on with their children, especially when he sees positive things happening. He helps out in any way he can and most of the time he is not compensated for his extra efforts and responsibilities that he volunteers for. The kids really love him and see that he only wants them to succeed.

I knew with how dedicated he is to his students that would be miniscule compared to his love he would have for a baby of our own. He proves me right everyday.

Mine has been keeping us fed since DD was born, even though he works crazy hours. I can count on one hand the number of times I've prepared a meal, other than our freezer meals.

I was just about to write the same thing. DH has picked up the slack around the house with cooking and cleaning. He has been so helpful.

[emilyz320]

Love this - great idea. So many things about my DH are awesome. He wakes up every morning with me to make us breakfast, even if he doesn't need to be up for a couple more hours, so we can have some extra time together and to help me get out the door (he's done this every day for the past 4 years). He is also one of the most generous people I have ever met. He will drop whatever is going on in his life to help his family. I've never met anymore more passionate and motivated to succeed in his career.

My DH has been a butthead lately but he always makes me smile and loves me more than words can express. Recently I was mad at him because he had been spending a huge amount of time outside in the man cave, tonight at dinner he was looking at his phone saying he was amazed by something I asked what he said this layout for your website, thats what I've been working on all night long... WOW....I didn't know what to say. This whole time he's been working on stuff for my business when he has stuff for his own business he should be doing.

[lotsofdotts]

This going to make me cry.

When DH and I sat down to discuss whether we wanted to pursue a relationship he said, "the ball is in your court. You have two kids and everything to lose if this doesn't go well. I will do whatever you feel comfortable doing." I knew at that moment that he was the man for me because since we had been friends for years he knew how protective I was over my kids. I had never introduced a man to them in all the years I was single. He absolutely loves my two kids and treats them so much better than their own father does.

DH tells me everyday that he loves me and compliments me all the time. He also is super caring and makes sure I am taken care of at all times.

Lastly, he makes me laugh. Every. Single. Day.

Although it drives me a bit nuts, DH has been working so hard on our house. We bought it/moved in Sept/October. A few months in, I started feeling pretty tired and crappy all the time, so stopped helping much. Since LO was born I haven't done much either, so he's done the majority on his own...from plumbing and electrical, to wallpaper removal (I helped LOTS with that), wall fixing and painting. There are a lot of nights he gets home from work, and then starts working on the house for a few hours. He is also finishing up an engineering masters/MBA, while doing all this, and having a full time job.

[jensoprano82]

I love this thread!!! My husband is my best friend. Period. He's a fantastic and enthusiastic hands on father. He opens doors and lifts heavy things for me. He cheers me on and loves me unconditionally. I couldn't be luckier. Plus we have so much fun!

[boxerrrmama85]

As cliche as this may sound, my husband would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. He loves wholly, laughs sincerely, cries honestly... He is just our everything. My love for him since Charlotte was born has multiplied by 1000. He is the most gentle spirit I know (being 6'6 people think he is a big tough guy-- but he is a teddy bear!) oh did I mention he is HOT ?

[dreemkin]

My husband is almost too nice lol but it's nice to see in this harsh world. He's a hard worker and does all the financials/bills etc for us. We are very similar in personality and have fun together! The best thing though is our ability to communicate. We are great at talking it out so we don't ever get into fights! My DH is also 6'6 and a big sweetie (and adorable

My one complaint is that I wish he'd be a bit more physically affectionate (not just when he wants some but compared to all of his other attributes, this is minor.

[taberbtb]

I feel like I gripe a lot about DH, so I am happy to have a chance to praise him. Great idea missys !

I love how affectionate my H is. He looks, and acts, like a big toughy but in reality he's so sweet and loving. To myself and also to our daughter. He is absolutely wrapped around her little finger.

I also love his drive and motivation towards his work. We are farmers so it means a lot of long hours and hard work and that he misses out on a lot of stuff I wish he could be around for. I understand and appreciate his dedication to the animals and everything else involved with caring for them and know that all of his work is done to provide for his family and let us live a very good life.

Sometimes people who don't know him well think DH isn't the nicest person, but it's only because he's fiercely protective of his family and everything he works for. He doesn't let anybody take advantage of him. Ironically, this was one of the things that originally attracted me to him.

[mmarie]

He's amazing.

He makes me laugh. I could be in the worst mood ever and he can always get me to smile no matter how hard I try not too.

While I was in school, I worked a part time minimum wage job that pretty much just paid my gas to get to school. He supported both of us financially and supported me emotionally while dealing with the stress of nursing school and made sure that I never gave up.

I had to have surgery like 4 months into our relationship and he took such good care of me and my dog while I was recovering.

He is a great dad to DD and the dogs and would do anything for his family.

[miniwheat]

He is my lobster.

[seamonster]

He's so great with DS and loves to play with him. I rarely get to baby wear because he grabs the carrier or ring sling.

He's also really encouraging of me doing things, sometimes to the point that I feel pressured to get into something I've only expressed vague interest in. He just gets really excited.

[hollydfromtn]

boxerrrmama85 & dreemkin what is it with our hubbies all being 6'6" lol.

[lilyelayne]

He is so thoughtful & detail oriented. I can halfway mention a problem I'm having and a few weeks later he'll have come up with a solution. It also makes him a great gift giver!
He's also super involved as a dad, and still so supportive of my being a SAHM and nursing.
He's also good at helping out with laundry, dishes, sweeping, etc and he never makes me mow the lawn.

[misshart00]

It's amazing how much more you fall in love with your husband once you see him as a dad (at least for me).

My husband is great. He dreams big but listens when I question the hard stuff. He's the "wow." I'm the "how." He does everything he can to support our family, monetarily and emotionally. Right now he's holding DD while watching Daniel tiger with her before he puts her to bed.

Every night when DS wakes up, he jumps up to get him, bring him to me to feed, then he takes him back to him room or rocks him if he's fussing.

He supports me as a SAHM and he loves my big dreams. He makes me feel super special. Like, we pick a show to watch together after the kids go to bed and cuddle on the couch. Even though I run the household, he helps with the big things like the budget and little things like laundry.

When the kids go to MDO on Thursdays (and he has off), he lets me sleep/rest while he makes phone calls or picks up. Even if he didn't get off work until midnight.

Sorry. That was long winded. But I'm still smitten.

[allonsy221b]

I've been irritated with my h lately so this is good for me to think about.

I get hg when I'm pregnant so a lot of things ended up not getting done both times. He never complained once about having to take over household chores, extra time with Dd, or taking care of me. I was pretty much stuck in bed when I wasn't working. He never made me feel guilty or like a burden. He's honestly just happy to be with me.

I've also felt like crap because of some comments I got about weight after baby and I noticed tonight that the wallpaper on his phone is a picture of me. It made me feel really good!

He works two jobs and stayed in a job he hated because we needed the insurance. He works so hard for us. He was so worried he wouldn't be a good father because his left when he was 2 and he is just incredible. Even my dad says he's a good father and my dad doesn't compliment easy. Ugh I'm rambling. I'm a lucky girl.

[mands1125]

Good timing since I've been so irritated with DH lately!

My husband also is a big dreamer as well. I usually have to bring him back to reality but he works very hard to acheive his goals.

He is never in a bad mood, grumpy (unless sick), etc. I don't think I've seen him angry even once the entire 4 years we have been together.

Also even though I wish he was more proactively helpful with DD, he is very good with her and it melts my heart. He really wanted a son for the longest time before we got pregnant so I was worried a little bit about how he would be around DD but he is really smitten with her. I think that was one of the silver linings with me having an emergency C-section is that he got to be there for her at the very beginning when I physically couldn't and it allowed him to bond with her in a very special way.

[toadandbuggie]

He's the most selfless person I have ever met. He would give anything he could to anybody in his family or a friend. He has never asked me to contribute towards the house or any other expenses the entire time we've lived together. He supports me being a SAHM but also supported me working (whatever makes me happy). When we got engaged he paid off my $50,000 student loans so that it wouldn't be a burden on us (boy was that a big weight off my shoulders). He's encouraging me to take the time off now with LO to think about if I want to get into another field and go and get my Master's.

He's a perfect old school gentleman unlike I've ever seen while dating. And not such a gentleman when need be . He is the least critical and least judgmental person I've ever met. He makes me feel bad for when I'm being judge-y. He has a labor intensive job and works really hard to support our family without asking for much in return.

He says "I love you" to me at least 5 times a day and also says "You are a great mom and you are doing a fantastic job" every night. He tells me how "beautiful" and "hot" he thinks I am everyday too.

I could keep going....

[junebugjam]

My H asks me once in awhile why I love him. And I always find it hard to come up with an answer. That sounds terrible but I think it's because there are so many little things that it's hard to pinpoint exactly one reason or to even make a list.

But I will say that he always puts me and our family ahead of himself and I know he would do anything for us.

When we lost our baby girl last year he was my rock through it all. When I went back to work after our loss, which was incredibly hard, he packed my lunches for me every day and left notes in my lunch bag to get me through the day, telling me how much he loved me and how we would get through it together.

He tries so hard to show me he cares. He cooked me dinner on Valentine's Day, made me breakfast on Mother's Day, and just a couple days ago just gave me a hug and said "I love you and I appreciate you and I don't tell you that enough."

He's a keeper.
