positive thread about husband!

staderdanger · August 2014

I keep reading these husband rants and I wanted to brag about mine. Not to rub in but to pass good vibes in the world!

This is our first pregnancy and we didnt really know what to expect. He has been wonderful with me being tired, nauseous, feeling ugly and everything else I'm feeling. He makes sure I have my favorite guilty pleasures in the house and checks in multiple times a day that I'm drinking enough water and reached my protein goal for the day. He also can't say enough how beautiful I am, even when I have a 7month bloat belly!
Please lets say some sweet things our husbands or SO are doing!!!

DH cleaned the toilet for the first time ever today. I know, it doesn't seem like much, but it was a big deal for him. I think he has never cleaned a toilet in his life. (He does do chores, just, for some reason, never toilets...they gross him out.) Poor guy, I actually had to show him how to clean it using these clorox pads and a wand that we have.

ETA: Can I play again? My husband asks me every night how much protein I ate that day. Annoying, but cute.

stefani103 · August 2014

I have plenty of "ugh, husband" stories, so I guess I'll try to balance karma here

While the hubs isn't super involved in many things, he gets very concerned about the safety of the home doppler. If I use it too long / too often, he gets very worried. He's also overly concerned about my caffeine intake.

It's frustrating, because I've done the research myself, but it is sweet of him to care.

aggiebug · August 2014

Oh my DH has been absolutely wonderful. Incredibly patient with his exhausted wife. He has been incredibly sweet and complimentary of me and taken care of us most of the time. He will get dinner ready almost every night and get cleaned up after. he will even bring me breakfast in bed just because

I cannot brag about him enough.

hwood10 · August 2014

At first when I told my husband I was pregnant things were pretty rocky between us, for about a month. I caught him on a good day and started talking about baby names and the things we will do in the future, it was like a switch flipped right then and there. Since then he's talked about baby named he likes, wanting to teach him/her martial arts and basketball and he treats me like a queen. We go on dates weekly, he stops and buys me treats on his way home, he's constantly calling me beautiful and sexy and just holds me on days when I just want to cry. He's the most amazing husband I could ask for.

PeaceofKia · August 2014

Some positives about my FI:

He rubs my feet when I complain.

We alternate cooking breakfast and dinner...he's trying to learn to cook more for when I'm on bedrest and maternity leave. :-)

He doesn't complain about how much space my Snoogle takes up in our queen size bed.

He tells me I'm beautiful everyday.

I love that guy.

krispy83 · August 2014

DH has been amazing. He eagerly gets whatever I am craving (I think he's really enjoying the fact that I'm having a variety of cravings this time around - with DS all I wanted was fruit, which wasn't very exciting lol!), rubs my feet each night as we wind down and watch some tv, etc. He also encourages me to nap whenever I'm tired and will either take DS to the park or keep him super quiet so I can get some rest. He has cut back on drinking beer because I can't stand the smell, and after he does drink it he brushes his teeth, rinses with mouthwash and showers. Last week he had jury duty one day and DS was a monster that day. He felt horrible that he wasn't around to help, so the next day he sent me out of the house to get some Starbucks and a pedicure and some down time. He really has been awesome.

chickyclg · August 2014

My DH has been awesome!!!

He has done all the cleaning, cooking, and he lets my sleep. I started crying last night and told him that I felt worthless because I wasn't doing anything around the house and he told me I was doing to most important thing, growing babies.

alyse0305 · August 2014

DH is amazing and I'm so lucky to have him. He has rubbed my back everytime I ask, makes me dinner and breakfast, runs errands, watches the kids when I'm tired, and just shuts up when I'm bitching! It takes two to have a great relationship and we always try to ensure we are both being equal partners! Love this post!!

jennjilljo · August 2014

DH does dumb things but it's always for me or to help me. He puts me far ahead of himself in everything, does chores around the house and rubs my swollen feet. All my complaints about him are because he's stressed and saying whatever or because he's being the wrong kind of helpful.

coloradoginger · August 2014

Rubs my feet, does a lot of the cooking/cleaning, talks me into going on walks way more often than I would if left on my own, puts up with my irrational meltdowns without giving me too much crap

, and is just generally just really awesome. I have absolutely nothing to complain about over here. He's also interested in being involved/updated on what's going on--I've caught him reading my "Pregnancy Week by Week" book more than a few times, and is excited to come with me to our 12 week appointment this week even though I've warned him that it's likely going to be super boring for him and not much is going to happen.

mehginh · August 2014

I feel incredibly lucky and almost guilty at times to have a hubby like mine. He makes sure I'm getting enough water, tells me to nap when I'm tired, says the housework can wait a day, cooks dinner more now (we usually take turns), right now he is rubbing my feet just because they are close to him, asks me multiple times a day how I'm feeling (just did that too, for the 8th time today), and on my 'fat days' reminds me I'm growing a baby not getting fat... DH is just wonderful!

TornadoTime · August 2014

My husband is fabulous. I work two jobs, and he works (outside the home) a lot less, so he'll be the at home parent. Right now he gets up early with me every day to make me breakfast and pack my lunch. He cooks dinner, cleans the house and does laundry. Also, I've been developing this horrible pregnancy excema, and I've never had excema before, so that plus the blump, I've been feeling hideous, but he's always telling me I'm beautiful and sexy.

jazzmhin08 · August 2014

My husband tries his best to keep up with chores. He rubs my feet when I ask him to and is willing to run out to buy food that I crave so bad.

Whenever I feel icky and ugly, he never runs out of complements on how beautiful I am especially now that I am carrying life in me.

He always asks me how I slept the night before when we wake up

He leaves very early in the morning, and I am still asleep when he leaves. But it never fails that he kisses my forehead (and if my sleeping position allows it, he kisses my belly too) and says, 'I love you both and may God bless you both today'

Before we go to sleep at night, it has been a habit of his to kiss my belly good night as well.

He is willing to pick me up at a store entrance if he parked very far.

I love my hubby, he makes me smile and enjoy this journey with him. :):)

mels823 · August 2014

My husband surprised me the other day by buying us a king size bed and brand new mattress! (Previously had a queen)

Mrsgclark81 · August 2014

DH has been cranky the past several days because his wisdom tooth was bothering him. Thankfully he got it pulled yesterday and is getting back to his usual charming self.

What I love most about my hubby is that he is a great provider and works to make sure the family's needs are met

PeaceofKia · August 2014

@Mels823 we're hoping to get one in two weeks!

Biscotto · August 2014

SO takes over with cleaning, etc when he notices that I feel like crap and hasn't said a thing about the house not being the cleanest even though I'm off for summer. He was great on vacation about making sure we always stopped to get something to eat and drink and to rest when I was feeling awful because of ms. And he cooks

.

kittenpopz · August 2014

My husband treats me like I am made of glass. He is one of a kind. I am so lucky

mommaa1615 · August 2014

Aww yay for sweet husbands

mine rubs my head until I fall asleep every night, gets up at 3am to get me a drink/snack, holds my hair back when ms is horrible, & always rubbing my belly/giving me compliments.

agm04 · August 2014

Not that DH doesn't piss me off sometimes, but overall he really is a dream come true. SO patient, so understanding, constantly tells me I'm gorgeous when I feel like a fat, bloated blob, tells me how much he appreciates me growing our little baby and what a great mom I'm going to be. He's really just fantastic. And also so handsome. I feel like I won the husband lottery.

I should remember this when I want to yell at him for leaving cereal and ice cream bowls all over the house.

summerandmatt · August 2014

I love this thread!

DH has gotten better with each pregnancy. The first time he literally wouldn't go downstairs to get me grapes when I was craving them. The next pregnancies were way different. Last night I said I was craving a donut and he about hopped out of bed to get buy one until I told him not to (I wouldn't have wanted it by the time he got back haha). He's been on kid duty on the weekends and when he gets home because I've been so sick, and my Zofran has run out. He rubs my feet, tells me he can't wait for my big belly, etc.

Also, the other day I overheard him giving a buddy marriage advice (the guy is in a rocky spot and called for help) and the things DH said

:x

emilyz320 · August 2014

My dh has been amazing. He has been really understanding and complimentary. When I feel bad because I feel like I am being lazy, he reminds me that I am pregnant and on summer vacation so I should fb relaxing. He calms my nerves when I get anxious about our finances ... He really has just been fantastic and loving.

hummingbird813 · August 2014

My husband is awesome. So supportive, never complains and I have not made dinner since I got pregnant. I am very lucky

jennypolkadots · August 2014

My husband is awesome and I rarely really talk about it because it comes across as bragging. He is just wonderful though. I think it has to do with being raised by his mom and two sisters, no men around. He talks about how he is feeling, how he feels about the baby, etc. Sometimes I feel little flutters (could by gas, IDK) and he gets so excited and wants so bad to feel the baby.

He has been cooking, cleaning, giving me massages, and just being awesome all the time. Honestly though, he did all of that before I was pregnant but it is just more appreciated when I was dealing with nausea. He keeps up with my appointments and always goes with me. He also fields family calls so I don't have to deal with the nosiness or people being negative about our natural birth plan. He is my advocate! I've never felt closer to him and I didn't know it was even possible to feel closer to him. He's my best friend and I feel so lucky!

Bravo for all the awesome husbands. We read so much that is negative and seems like many men are still children or just jerks.

JNettie73 · August 2014

I am another lucky lady with a super amazing husband. He has been very patient with my constant exhaustion. He has been cleaning the litter boxes, doing the laundry, cleaning the kitchen after dinner, and takes over cooking and other household chores if I am not feeling up to it. He often tells me, you look exhausted why don't you go take a nap for a while. Then makes sure the house is as quiet as can be so I can sleep. He comes in several times to check on me when I am resting to see if I need anything.

I really feel blessed!

megz2224 · August 2014

I am amazingly blessed. Hearing about some of my friends husbands make me sad sometimes. This is our third child and each pregnancy he has been amazing. He has gone to every appointment but one each pregnancy( he could not get off work for that one). He's always concerned with how I feel, if I'm tired, if I'm eating well. I find it amazingly attractive to have him be so concerned with his new child.

he is also an amazing hands on dad. From diaper changes to feeding to playing with the kids. His life revolves around our kids, me and our family. I knew that when I married him but didn't fully realize how committed he was to having a family and being the best dad he is capable of being.( he unfortunately did not know his dad.) I feel so incredibly blessed to have married my best friend.

btrebus · August 2014

I came home from working a wedding show yesterday, and DH had done all the laundry and folded it too! I was so impressed! I didn't even know he knew how to do laundry!

Cookie0875 · August 2014

I have complained about my DH in a thread or 2, but he really is awesome. He's cooked most nights since I got pregnant because I'm just so tired and have a hard time cooking some things because of the smell. He's also been very understanding when I plan something, then don't want it at the last minute. He asks every day how I feel and how I slept. We've also been working really hard on projects around the house that we've been putting off and he asks several times in different processes if I need to rest for a bit or tells me to stop if I need to. He's bringing up our LO more on his own and I can tell he's really getting excited. Makes me so happy!! :x

mmariel · August 2014

A few weeks ago when I was exhausted and nauseous all the time, he got really good at keeping up with the laundry and cleaning. Now even though im feeling better, he still insists on doing everything. And now that i am feeling better, I have had to take over the laundry again! I hate the way he folds my stuff and puts it away! I just love the fact that he tries!! He has been extremely patient with my cravings that change every 20 minutes and running to the store! I just love him!!

foxslaw · August 2014

I really wanted chick fil a & my boyfriend made me fish & asparagus instead & it was sooo good. Glad I let him take care of me while I was throwing up all day.

angelg3134 · August 2014

Love this!

I walked in from work today and after telling him last night how bad my hips have been hurting and how I'm unable to sleep well, he surprised me with a snoogle

. You know he's getting lucky real soon
