My husband is wonderful

I read so many posts about how annoyed we are with our DH's and whateves...but all it makes me think about is how awesome my DH is. We were talking about this exact same issue in my BMB-FB group yesterday...about how were quick to bash bust slow to recognize the good things.
I'm not writing this to brag! I'm just saying...my DH does all the laundry in the house. When I cook, he cleans (and vice versa), but if theres dishes that need to be done he'll do them without saying anything. I do the vacuuming, dusting, and general straightening...but DH really helps so much around the house...and even more since I got KU. He also works full time.
What does YOUR DH do that is just awesome/makes you love him more and more?

Re: My husband is wonderful
Mine has been really great as well. He generally tries really hard to be supportive and understanding, and has done a lot of things he certainly didn't have to, just because he knew it would help me out or ease my load a bit. I feel really good that we've worked hard to build a solid foundation to our marriage, and positive that it will help us weather the stresses of having a baby.
I think it helps that I have done a lot of positive reinforcement whenever he does something I appreciate, so he knows that I've noticed and it means something to me. Also, when he does do something that upsets or irritates me, I talk with him about it, in a respectful, loving, calm manner. I refuse to go BSC on him, because that doesn't do either of us any good, and only causes more problems (especially in the long run). I see sooooo many pregnant women on these boards engage in and encourage that kind of behavior to get their DH's to "do more", and I just feel awful for them because they don't even realize how they're actually making things worse for themselves in the long run with those tactics.

It makes me so happy to see things like this... I feel like all I ever read on here is how evil & incompetent DH is, so this is a breath of fresh air.
You are definitely very lucky! He sounds like an amazing hubby. I still do all of the housework but my husband is always willing to jump in & assist me.
I love my husband because he works so hard to ensure that I am comfortable & that I have everything that I could want or need... He's been so diligent to ensure the nest is ready for LO & is always checking on me to see how I feel or if I need him to do anything for me. I love him so much!
Mine too!!!!
I am so lucky to have such an amazing man - he puts up with my craziness and all of the morning sickness etc.
He cooks, cleans, walks the dog, - i really am so lucky!!!
Thanks for starting this board! It is easy to complain about our husbands, but I do know it must be tough on them too.

My husband has been great also. I think that it's a type of respect. Also, any stress on me is stress on our baby. He wants me to be as comfortable as possible. I can't list everything he does, and really, it's mostly the little things that mean the most, because I know he's paying that much more attention.
I think he feels like its the least he can do, since I'm the one who is going through all these changes for us and OUR baby.
I appreciate him for everything he does. But I've heard it won't be the same with the second. I'll kill him!
Seriously, I hate seeing how often women *** about the man in their lives. Everytime I'm out with a group of girls, they complain about how awful their man is ... why are they with him?
My husband is wonderful. Yesterday was his birthday and I fell asleep on the couch at like 7:30. He did the dishes...and he took the dogs out in the snow...
Now I feel bad because I didn't do anything special for his birthday. I wonder if he bitches about me...lol
I definitely have my complaints, but there is so much that's great about my husband (or I wouldn't have married him!) Thanks for reminding me to look for the good.
He's the primary cook in our house and gets me to try lots of new foods that I wouldn't try on my own. He's very tech-savvy and goes out of his way to think of innovative ways to make what we have work for us. (so fancy!)
He also gives the best belly rubs no matter how tired or busy he is.
...and he didn't give me a hard time when I let my car run out of gas recently.
I think I'll keep him.
I agree. My DH has been so helpful this pregnancy. He does 90% of the laundry, cleans the kitchen after I cook, has redone 2 rooms in our house all himself so we can move DS to another room to make room for DD. He puts up with my complaining and tiredness, always tries to get me the food I'm craving, and is wonderful with our two boys.
I always find myself picking out the little things I wish he would do better, but I never really stop to appreciate all the things that he actually does. I am so lucky to have him in my life. Thank you for posting this so it will make us grumpy pregnant women stop to appreciate what we put these men through.
I also have a wonderful husband. We were best friends before we started dating and really it just gets better everyday. He cooks, cleans, and -seriously- appreciated when I make a list of the household things we need to accomplish together. He walks our dogs daily and always takes out the trash- including all the little cans in our house- took a while for that training to kick in lol.
He really is amazing and I wouldn't trade him for anything.
Had to elaborate on pp with the man bashing- I will often get the look after they are all done of "well... What about you?" I just smile and change the subject.
Mine isn't the supportive comforting husband what so ever. HOwever up until now I have not been the type of wife to need it so I can't really blame him for it. He does however do stuff when I ask. He may sigh and take time to do it but he still does it. I work full time and he has a flexible schedule. So He always will do the dishes. I can text him or leave him a list and he will get it done before he leaves. The only thing I never ask him to do is laundry or grocery shopping. He has no sense of "food" he tends to buy snacks lol plus he has no clue where any of the laundry goes. He is very forgetful and it may take me telling him a couple of times but in the end it gets done.
My husband works very hard for our family and still makes time to give me the attention I need right now. He takes me to lunch almost every day. He went grocery shopping and put gas in my car this week, and then came home and cooked dinner. He comes to most of my OB appts with me. And if I ask him to do anything extra for me (dishes, laundry, etc), he does it without question. I do fuss about him sometimes because he can be messy and I get tired of cleaning up after him, or waiting on him to do things around the house, but nobody is perfect and I love his flaws, too. He's such a great husband and I love seeing how excited he gets about the baby.
Thanks for giving me an opportunity to think about some of the reasons I love him so much
Tonight I told my husband I hated him and wanted a divorce. lol So...yeah.
But no, while I did genuinely hate him and want a divorce in that moment, I feel better now (he can be really, really selfish and insensitive sometimes but he genuinely doesn't seem to realize it).
I'm sincerely glad your husband is so wonderful.
Most of the time I feel like my husband and I are just friends who are married, but we do have fun together. He did give me a good foot and back rub after our fight though! I would die without a foot rub once in a while.
