What's your favourite thing about your SO/partner?

I think for me, Andrew is my voice of reason--he always keeps me sane, and helps me see my way through chaos I also love the way he can still make me laugh, even though we've spent more than half our lives together. It's never boring with him around!!

His love for me and his kids. Marc works 60 hours a week and straight nights, yet no matter how tired he is, he always shows his family being [me and his and my kids] how much he loves us. Never is he grumpy or nasty. I can ask him for anything and he will do everything in his power to provide it for me. Even if he is dead tired! I love him with my whole heart and I know I have the same from him.

Matt is my other half. He makes me laugh all of the time. I don't think I could have ever met anyone that I felt this way about. He is hysterical, and sweet, and wonderful.

 

[AndrewF]

Okay....I'm blushing now.

Lets see - Aside from the fact Lorri is smart, sexy and funny, I think I love her ability to make me laugh after a crappy day at work and forget it. She's also great with the kids, a great personal support and she's about the only person who helps me with home-repairs that I enjoy working with.

It doesn't sound corny at all--Andrew is my other half too. We kind of balance each other out, and fit together so well--we are so alike in some ways, and yet complete opposites in others, and it works

When I had my appendix out unexpectedly last January, he sat by my bedside in the hospital for HOURS. I would wake every once in a while, and was so out of it and dehydrated--I couldn't even make enough sound to ask for water. But he knew right away what I needed and was right there for me through the whole thing. Just having him sitting beside me was comforting

I've been widowed for 3 years now....I miss Tom terribly, but feel so sad that he was more wrapped up in himself than with me and the family. He missed out on so much.. I wish he'd been happier with life in general. Love and respect your fellow mates. Our nearly 50 years of marriage would have been so much better if he could only have treated me like a good dog !! LOL!!!!!!!!!

 

[BassetLover**]

oh bubba thats so sad, i treasure what we have with Serge's job as we never know what he will be going into every day

Oh that's so sad I'm sorry for your loss....my parents have been married for 52 years, and I know that either one would be lost without the other

 

[bubbatd]

Yes, it was hard to love someone so much and to know how much he was missing in life by not being able to show emotions....especially when I wear mine on my sleeve ! I felt for a long time how the kids must have suffered... but now, I think they now understand and don't take it as personal rejection anymore . He was an only child and sent to Military School at 13 ! Poor guy, never knew family life.

My husband is big and tough, but full of love and sweetness on the inside. Any time one of my pets dies (I used to have lots of guinea pigs) he takes the time to give them a proper burial and even makes crosses for their little graves. He is always there for me and he makes me feel very loved and appreciated. He acts like I am the most beautiful woman in the world. (I never said his eyesight was perfect)

 

[juliefurry]

I love the fact that even though he had been hurt and misused by his first wife he had the strength to get up and fall in love with someone else (me). I don't think I could have done it if someone did what they did to him to me, I would have lived a single life forever. And he can love me wholeheartedly instead of always fearing that I will become someone like her, he is able to distinguish that I am not the same kind of person. He buys me cards and flowers, and gives me back and feet massages, he makes me bagels and strawberry milk. He tries to give me everything that I have never had and sometimes he succeeds and sometimes he fails but he tries as hard as he can. I just love him and I know I would be completely lost without him, I miss him even if he's a foot away from me.

The favorite things about my hubby (more than one applies):

Takes interest in our boys and teaches them things they will remember for their lifetime.

Is a rugged manly man, and has sex appeal, even after we have been together for so long.

Works like a "dog" just so I can be home with our children.

Is a real country boy, and knows how to survive, even if real hardships would hit our area.

He doesn't mind the heat of summer, or the cold of winter (unlike my ex, many years ago. He had to be in a climate controlled environment).

He can take a bath in the creek or in the comfort of our home, and he still smells so good either way.

He loves me the way that I am. With or without makeup, dressed up or if I stayed in my pj's all day. I also love that he desires me after 3 children and a small weight gain. He never complains. He likes that I can hang with him and drink beer with him and eat his food cooked over a fire. And that it doesnt' bother me to bathe with him in the creek, when we are at our summer camp (the dogs don't mind bathing in the creek either) and our kids think it is a treat.

I am so happy that I have found someone that I can trust and also enjoy my life with.

I feel so lucky,
This is really a great thread. Makes you think how lucky you really are.
Thanks.
Julie.

My husband ALWAYS does the right thing. He is an awesome worker...very dependable. He's only missed two or three days of work for sickness in the past 30 years. He's such a great helper to me!!! If I'm cleaning house he always helps me, he does all of the laundry, the yard is always perfect. He washed my car. He loves animals sooooo much, he's so gentle and loving to them. I would say the thing that hooked me on him was before I was divorced, I was venting to Greg about my husband at the time, and I don't know why, but I started to cry. He pulled a handkerchief out of his pocket and wiped away my tears. It was soooo sweet. He's just an all around gentleman.....he reminds me so much of my Dad, and my Dad was one of my favorite people of all time. He treated women like they were the most precious thing in the world. I miss my Dad so much.

WOW what can I say?

I love EVERYTHING about Brian. I love how emotional he can get. he's not afraid to show his true feelings even if it means tears.

He doesn't take me or life for granted. He makes the best out of the time we have together.

I KNOW I can trust him. Thats a big one especially right now. We are 8 hours apart and it could be this way for 6 months but I know I never have to worry about what he is doing.

His goal in life is to be a good husband to me and a great father to our (someday) children. I only hope I can be as good to him as he is to me.

he makes me laugh all the time. he is not afraid to be silly. We have so much in common its uncanny.

but MOST importantly he has a good heart and a good head on his shoulders.

It is probably not fair for me to respond right after Tanya did, but after reading what she just wrote, how could I not? (After I got the tears out of my eyes that is.....)

Tanya is the air that I breath. All my life I was wandering this Earth, looking for something. I thought I found it in High School, but learned that friends come and friends go. I thought I found it in the Army, but travel and adrenaline could not fill the gap. I thought I found it in College, but drugs were not the answer. I thought I found it in my first marriage, but living a lie failed me. I found my Saviour and while he solved the greatest problems in my life, there was still something missing....

Then that day came.... That amazing breath of fresh air that showed me why God put me on this planet. Never in my life have I been so taken by a single person. This person, Tanya, my beloved wife whom I love with every single fiber of my being IS the reason I still breathe. I believe that after everything I have been through, she is my reward. I can only hope that I can do as much for her as she has already done for me. She has brought purpose back into my life and I am not really sure there is a dollar value you can put on that.

But the thing I love the MOST about Tanya is that she is my soulmate. That one woman that God intended me to be with. Tanya, I love you with every fiber of my soul. Never forget that, especially when you have days like today. When you are down, come here and read this because I know I will.

I would say more, but the 26 letters of the English language cannot communicate the love I have for this woman.

There are not enough words even with all the world's languages combined to describe what I love about Trev. He's just such an amazing guy! They say the true test for a relationship is when you have to care for the other when they are sick. This past weekend Trev cared for me with my wisdom teeth out and he deffinately passed! He's smart, caring, funny, wonderful, all things good. Oh I just thought of something that I really enjoy that he does! Every night before bed he sends me a text messagesaying good night and telling me he loves me! so sweet!

haha Brian passed that test then lol I was so hungover on new years I couldn't even get out of bed. I got sick at least once every half hour even when there was nothing left in my tummy lol and he was such a trooper lol emptied my puke bucket and cleaned it out for me whenever I got sick in it lol I told him I loved him but if the positions were reversed there would be no emptying of the can by me or i would be sharing it with him HAHA

I love how I wake up and find Steve watching me sleep. Although sometime's it scares me to find a pair of eyes watching me. lol

I love how he doesn't judge me so I can be 100 per cent me around him. And he always helps me with what I want in life. We've already made two big moves just so I can work at a new job. He works hard most of the time for things that I want. He doesn't ask a lot out of life but I always want to work towards something else and he's always right there. I appreciate how honest he is with me to the point of being blunt.

He makes me feel safe and even though he makes me crazy sometimes I know there's no one who could love me more.
