Husband/SO appreciation

[butlerfan]

I don't think we have had one of these for a while....

We are always complaining how our SO do things to annoy us (either on purpose or by accident)

Name at least one thing you appreciate that your husband/SO does....

[ironbaby]

Good timing, since he annoyed me big time yesterday.

However...

I appreciate that he is an excellent cook and can make us dinner out of seemingly nothing.
I appreciate that he is incredibly affectionate and always find a way to touch me or hold me, even in the dead of night.
I appreciate that he believes in us and is so excited about trying to have a baby. He was on board long before I was, but he was patient.

[LadyNymeria]

MH does 99.9% of the cooking in our house. I am a horrible cook and absolutely hate cooking. I really appreciate the fact that he is willing to do all the cooking.

Yesterday was a really rough day for me. I tried so hard to be productive but just...couldn't. So I left work at noon, got back in bed and didn't get up until this morning. When I woke up, the dishes were done, laundry was done, the house was clean, and I've been getting little encouraging text messages all day. He truly is my person...

[doodler]

Ooh, fun!

DH has worked incredibly hard to get ahead career-wise to benefit our family. He's also an amazing father.

[singingsea]

He's been my rock this month. I can't say enough good things about him.

[notagoddess]

I appreciate that MH finds me beautiful and sexy, and shows me every day that he is attracted to me. It might seem like a no-brainer for a SO, but my ex let me know frequently that he wouldn't be attracted to me if I gained any weight. It really messed with my mind and felt absolutely awful, although I was fairly thin at the time. Now I weigh 10-15 pounds more but I feel great.

[ohinvrtedworld]

Aw, I love this!

MH is the most sensitive and affectionate guy I've ever known. He brags about me and my cooking to everybody. He's also a clown and will do anything to make me laugh!

[ironbaby]

akraus2015, that is so sweet!!

notagoddess, it is so important that your partner not only finds you attractive, but lets you know that! How wonderful that he helps you be confident.

[pinkcat]

I really appreciate how much work he does around the house. I feel like we have a true partnership in it and I don't feel like I have to ask him to "help" me, because we view it as both of our responsibility so we are just both working together.

I also appreciates that he can make me laugh every day! He came downstairs last night to show me his new Halloween costume he had just ordered (Bowser from Mario Kart) and I think we laughed for 10 minutes.

[mrsjene]

With the stimming and ER this month, he has been so incredible. He has just been catching me off-guard lately with some of the amazingly sweet things he has said.

And he let me watch PLL without complaining on my retrieval day.

DH has a firm shoulder for me to cry on when I need it- this weekend I did.

[penguin129]

H works really hard at his new school and is well loved. I am so happy for him that he is being told he is the best teacher by his students. His working allows me to stay home with DD and I appreciate that very much. I'm still impressed by how fast he got hired at new school.

+1 exactly

I'm also grateful that MH is relatively patient with my scatter-brained-ness.

And that he worries about me even if sometimes it gets a little annoying lol its nice to know that he cares

[joy]

Being. His being my husband, being committed to us, and sharing his life with me is more than I could have ever asked for.

[ellabee]

DH is coordinating everything we need to buy a new house. We close in about 3 weeks and the amount of work he has done to get all our finances and home repairs in order has been phenomenal.

[butlerfan]

He loves to cook so he does most of the cooking
He can and will build things and fix things as well(i.e. a book shelf)
He's great with kids
He can usually make me laugh even if I'm in a bad mood
He takes care of me when I'm sick (actually when I'm well as well)

[jubilantsquirrel]

He is an amazing father. Watching him interact with DS makes me fall in love with him all over again.

[goldenlove3]

I appreciate that my H takes charge of our finances but makes sure I'm on board with everything. I appreciate that he takes the dog out at night without complaining because he knows that I hate going outside alone when it's pitch black out because I have an irrational fear that someone is lurking in the shadows. I appreciate that he knows when I'm upset and will just hold me when I need him to. I appreciate that he can show me how much he loves me with just a look or by holding my hand.

[phoebe]

I love this thread!

My H tells me almost everyday how beautiful I am and how much he loves me. It doesn't get old even being together 12 years! He also helps out a lot around the house and can fix pretty much anything we need fixed. And he let's me know he appreciates the things I do by thanking me for little things like making dinner or taking out the dogs. More recently he is doing a lot of research and getting things in order for me to get a new car soon.

I just feel safe and comforted by him and it feels like a true partnership.

[requiressnacks]

He tells me I'm hot. Every. Single. Day.
He is a really hard worker and provider.
He's hilarious.

[easilyunamused]

My husband is very encouraging. He pushes me to always be my best, but recognizes my limitations and won't make me feel bad about it.

The best part is we are equals. We both do things to keep our house running smoothly and appreciates what I do to help him out and vice versa.

[icedtea]

He really steps up when I'm not feeling well, even though my illnesses tend to last forever.
He will stay up and rub my back when it's hurting even though he's exhausted.
He's willing to go outside his comfort zone for me (like going on trail rides).
He makes me laugh every day.

MH IS THE BEST BACK-SCRATCHER KNOWN TO MANKIND.

Also, leg-scratcher, arm-scratcher.

I will basically take any kind of scratching.

[GOmamab15]

He does everything. I love how kind and considerate he is. He gives good hugs. He cooks 99.9% of the time and cleans 90%.
I work full time (plus overtime) and he takes care of a bunch of stuff around the house and works just a few hours a week. It works well for us for now.

I'm going to copy you.  This is exactly us.  I don't like to cook and really appreciate that my husband enjoys it and is willing to try new recipes and does it almost every night.  I grocery shop, clean up, and make the salad each night so I like to think dinner chores are almost 50/50.

My husband will scratch my back as a way to get me stay at places (a bar, for example) when I want to go home.  He knows I won't move a muscle and sit somewhere for hours if he's scratching my back.

♪♫choppinbroccoli♫♪, joy, I did not know that back scratching was a "thing." MH loves his back scratched for hours and I thought it was just him! I find the sensation to be weird. 

[badwolf]

I appreciate that he puts up with the insanity that is me and my family.

Oh, no girlfriend. I love it all. Backscratches, massages, hair-playing. Gimme ALL of it. I have a few friends (men and women) who are the same. Haha!
