s/o Amrice's poll: if your DH scored well

kgb1411 · February 2010

How long have you been married? Or did he come that way ?

My DH is still working on a lot of this (especially cleaning and laundry).

CelticWife · February 2010

2 years in March. DH came that way.

macchiatto · February 2010

LOL
We've been married 3.5 years. DH had great cooking skills (way better than mine) pre-marriage. He supervised clean-rooms in the pharmaceutical industry for several years so he certainly knows how to get things very clean. Whether he chooses to do so is another question.

He's never done my laundry.
He learned baby care on the job with our boys but caught on VERY quickly and is an amazing dad.

MrsTotty · February 2010

Mine came that way. We've been married almost 4 years.

o2bme · February 2010

Been married almost four year. Dh came with most of the stuff. Taking care of DD has come a little later. When she was a newborn he was afraid he would break her.

ToBeMrsT · February 2010

married 4 years--- most of it he's learned since getting married and having our son.

yoko589 · February 2010

We have been married for 5 1/2 years now. He lived on his own for 5 years so he was pretty self sufficient. He can do it but he is lazy now because I do alot of it now.

inbetweendreams · February 2010

We've been married for 4 years, and he came that way (lol). I can't imagine him *not* doing those things, but we have a very 50/50 household.

betsnup · February 2010

We've been married 4 years, living together 7.5, together 8 years. He pretty much came this way. I'm pretty lucky. I think part of it (the cleaning and laundry) stemmed from the fact that he lived alone before we were together.

Amrice78 · February 2010

6.5 years

he mostly came that way - he had to work on a couple of them (like taking care of the baby, he was petrified at first and giving massages w/o it being foreplay)

oceanlover · February 2010

6.5 years, he got them all except the massage (always turns into foreplay lol) and the song thing (I don't really have a favorite song anyway)

mmmm I guess he has always been this way, MIL disagrees ~ she still cannot understand how he "knows how" to do laundry/clean bathrooms. LOL

southernbelle82 · February 2010

My DH got a 10. We've been married 4.5 years. He mostly came that way but there are a couple things he's learned over the past few years

Smores730 · February 2010

We've been married almost 4 years, but he came that way. He lived by himself a few years in college so maybe that helped.

jenny&ben112506 · February 2010

We've been married for 3.5 years. He came that way, for the most part.

TrumpetBride · February 2010

3 years this June and he came that way.

msabol2077 · February 2010

3 years in July but we've been together for almost 11yrs (in feb). He's always been like that.

violetvirgo · February 2010

we've been together for almost 10 years total - dating/married. dh pretty much came that way, though. we also dated for over 6 years before we got married, and lived together for 4 so i knew exactly what i was getting into with him

mustangsallie · February 2010

Married 7 years.

He pretty much came that way, but it also helps that he was 20 when we got married... so he was still young enough for me to "mold" *insert evil laugh here*

kelbrian · February 2010

Mine came that way. We've been married for two and a half years.

LaLaSweets · February 2010

Married 3 1/2 years and same except daughter ; )

LizzieandGar · February 2010

4 year and he just came that way. I find the fact that some men can't do laundry properly without being asked and instructed incredibly sad.

Fordlor · February 2010

Almost 3.5 years. He came that way. He does the laundry and has since before we got married. I say, let him.

k8elee03 · February 2010

Married almost 3 years, together for 5 years before that. Came that way.

preg_amy · February 2010

Haha, still not married (but we've been dating for a long time and we definitely will get married at some point).

But honestly, he mostly came this way. There were a few things he didn't do when we first started dating. But he's always done laundry, been pretty clean, and he's always been sweet (massages, flowers, etc). When DS came along, he was instantly great with him. I work nights and DH has him alone a lot. (And I still call him DH just because I sound like a teen mom or something if I say BF)

trixiebelden · February 2010

Married for 3 years and he came that way.

Lucy_Plus_One! · February 2010

Married a year and a half, but together for 5. He didn't really "come that way," but he was already a really sensitive guy... which is what matters most. He saw how much these types of things meant to me and worked on them. By the time we got married he was ready to do those things for me. When DD came I was really happy that he lived up to being the way he had said he would with a little one.

He's a keeper.

AgrippaRidesAgain · February 2010

We've been married 5.5 years, but DH came that way.

KittyCatBio · February 2010

we'll be married 7 years in May, living together for 9. i started working on his household skill set before we started living together, but he was always eager to learn. for the rest, he came that way.

Judah'sMommy · February 2010

Married 3 years. Together 10 years.

He wasn't like that when we met, but he was when we got married.

exhausted_bride · February 2010

Married almost 4 but been together almost 8. He definitely came that way.

lite-bright · February 2010

We've been married four years and were together a year and a half before that.

And yes, he came that way. His mom raised seven kids, so there was no "I'm going to wait on you hand and foot." They all helped out around the house, did their own laundry, etc.

Plus, he lived on his own (with roommates) in grad school. Nobody was going to clean up after him or do his chores in that situation, either.

DH is more tidy than I am. He's the one who's been breaking ME in over the past several years, and I can say that his habits have definitely rubbed off!

KeepingItLowKey · February 2010

we've been married 2.5 years- he came that way... he'd been a bachelor for a looooong time.

*NNO* · February 2010

Married for 3.5 years. He came that way for the most part. The sleeping in on weekends things we compromised on. He sleeps in on Saturdays and I sleep in on Sundays.?

irishgurlkt · February 2010

we have been together 3 years this month, married 2.5 years and he came that way. He actually 'trained' himself because he didnt like how his parents treated each other growing up (they married and divorced each other twice) so he promised himself that he would have the opposite marriage they did- and I am the lucky girl he married!!
