GTKY- husbands

deedee1017 · March 2014

It's easy to complain about our dhs every now and then, but we married these men for a reason. In what way(s) do you wish you were more like your husband?

alylove11 · March 2014

My DH is great at public speaking and is very witty.

deedee1017 · March 2014

My husband is so calm and he doesn't really get angry. Even if he does, he doesn't fly off the handle. I can curse like a sailor when I'm angry. He let's things roll of his back, and I sometimes can't let go of things. I wish I was more like him in those ways.

DH has a great personality everybody loves him. He is also a great story teller and has a strong work ethic.

tashad18 · March 2014

DH has more patience than I do. He is also a lot more easy going about things. He is responsible when need be but he very much is a go with the flow kind of person. I tend to stress too much about things.

carawasa · March 2014

My FI is so laid back and passive. I think he might have a photographic memory, he can remember anything, I swear!

His laid back personality is good and bad. It def helps me remain calm, but at the same time it drives be BSC because he doesn't think about things until the very last minute, or until there is a big problem.

ksimo6 · March 2014

My DH is emotionally stronger than I am and is truely selfless when it comes to me. He works hard every day to make sure that his family is well and happy. Someone once asked why I loved him and I says, without hesitation, "it's because I don't ever have to think about myself anymore... He's doing it for me." That is the man he is.

He can do math in his head.

I am so jealous. I can barely add without counting it out on my fingers.

Stuck in Box!

My DH is also great at math. I always say that if I'm walking along and I see math coming towards me, I cross the street.

DH also loves science and can't wait to help LO with her math and science homework.

chelseyestelle · March 2014

He's funny and very smart. He's also patient. I could list things forever. Love that man!

hartsl01 · March 2014

He's smart and charming and isn't afraid to speak up about his opinions on something. I 'homer into the bushes' way more than I'd care to admit and would love to be able to stand my ground more like dh.

AmandagStark · March 2014

My DH is so financially smart & good @ math. He is also very laid back and has such an infectious laugh. He says what he thinks, but is thoughtful about the way he phrases things.

bkeane619 · March 2014

He's not self conscious at all in public. I'm not comfortable at all.

trackgirlparis · March 2014

He is so easy going and chill. Nothing fazes him. He's also really really funny and extremely musical. I'd love to be more musical and funny.

mancila60 · March 2014

He is so genuine and caring. He will literally stop to help people change a tire. He will always help people even if they don't ask. He truely cares about people not just his family.

jnsmith85 · March 2014

H is very laid back, never worries about anything. I am the worrier/pessimist and wish I could be more relaxed like he is. He also has an amazing work ethic and takes pride in everything he does.

Philsbride2be · March 2014

He has a great work ethic, memory, and is very conscientious of others. I'm grateful to him and to this poll bc we just had a fight.

ajjf1026 · March 2014

He is very personable and can literally talk to anyone. He also has the greatest sense of humor. He is honest to a fault. And like @jgslr‌'s hubby, he's a very generous tipper.

ETA: I wish I was more personable, had a better sense of humor. I'm also a very honest person. I also wish I had more of a carefree attitude like DH. He doesn't let things get to him and I wish I was more like that because I am very sensitive. And he is a mathematical genius, I'm horrible at it. He is also an extremely hard worker.

cassey910 · March 2014

My DH is very outgoing. He has no problem speaking in front of people either. I don't think I know of anyone who does not like him. He is also very funny.

I think our husbands are clones

SuperTreesa · March 2014

He is nearly never critical of others and her is very quick to forgive. Also, he can't lie. He just can't.

KerCo51 · March 2014

DH is extremely social and can speak to anyone. He loves public speaking and to be the center of attention. He also tends to see the best in people. He likes most people that he meets.

Arod1087 · March 2014

In so many ways!

He is very witty and very quick to react, very quick on his feet.

Very resourceful, can fix anything!

Very personable, not socially awkward.

Very motivational, has great work ethic.

I don't know why he picked me haha I'm the complete opposite of those things.

ncase2 · March 2014

My DH and I are opposites in many ways. He' rediculously smart @ math and science, super sociable, and organized to an almost OCD level. He's also really funny, and willing to help others all the time.

pmarie33 · March 2014

He is more patient than I've got patience for. He's a real gentleman.

jennlin · March 2014

He is so patient with people..I get worked up really easily, and I sometimes call my h to talk to my parents bc I simply can't any more.

He is very logical and thinks things thoroughly before making any decisions, which can be annoying, but very good for us financially. I like to be a bit impulsive.

StefMurph · March 2014

He's very kind and will do anything to help his friends. He is more sociable than I am. I love when he is deep in laughter. He gives second, third and fourth chances. I usually write people off after the first fuck up. I have no patience.

Heather91011 · March 2014

Unless I missed it I guess I am the only one who doesn't wish she was like her husband in any way. My husband and I are completely different but I love it! We balance each other. We do share the same interests but he is a spender I am a saver. He is relaxed and laid back I am always doing something and a little uptight. He loves going out and partying and I like to stay in have pop corn and watch a movie. He holds everything in and lets people push him around and I have it out with people.

SweetCFly · March 2014

I wouldn't say my DH is the most laid back person ever but he definitely doesn't stress out over things as easily as I do and I wish I could take a page out of his book on that one.

I also wish I has his speedy metabolism and natural athletic ability (for sports). He's also great with finances... I just don't understand that stuff and really wish I did. Lastly, I wish I had his ability to fall asleep quickly!

norbert5 · March 2014

I am DH and I are different but I do wish I had his energy level and his ability to fix things.

He tinkers with things and fixes them. Anytime there is a commercial on TV he gets up and does a chore. He is amazing.

muffyvonmuff · March 2014

DH sees the big picture faster then I do. Like when it came to buying our first home he pushed the idea of a 3 family house for our financial future and it was such a smart move.

He is also very political. He forms very well rounded opinions and can go head to head in these intellectual conversations pertaining to things like foreign policy, health care or unemployment with such ease. Im only fluent in Seinfeld.

I forgot to include a picture of pushpin Noodle.

That's amazing! I wanna double date so he can teach me his push pin ways!

BabyMorrissey · March 2014

AW: H is an incredible artist.

Last month at our wine and canvas date he totally put me to shame.

CousinVicki · March 2014

he is muchhh more patient than I am, and wayyy more laid back. I am a super spaz most of the time ha ha ha. he also reads a ton and knows everything about everything. he pulls out random facts all the time lol

taylormarie923 · March 2014

I admire that DH is a doer. I would happily sit on the couch and eat bon bons and think about the things I need to do. Not DH, he would much rather be doing things, even if that means doing less desirable chores.

I also wish I had his musical ability. I can wrap my head around an instrument enough to play it, but DH can pick up any instrument and actually make beautiful music. It amazes me that he can produce something so lovely out of nowhere.

[Deleted User] · March 2014

My DH is the most patient and caring person I know...which makes him a great friend, son and of course husband and father

I always try to be more patient with people and give them the benefit of the doubt like he does...he's also hilarious and always the life of the party!

Ajoyd · March 2014

DH is artistic and I don't have an artistic bone in my body.

He's also far more laid back.

wildbutterfli2001 · March 2014

DH is a very caring and compassionate man. My girlfriends would tell me how jealous (but happy) they were of my relationship, especially while I was prego bc my hubby would drop everything to make me happy or comfortable no matter what the circumstance. Even if I don't ask for anything it's like he knows and genuinely wants to do things that will brighten my life.

DH is also much more emotional than I am, I am somewhat detached from alot of things and I wish I felt as much passion for all things as he does. There are only a few things that excite me anymore and he can still find the joy in just about everything.
