Let's talk about our SOs (Because that's always fun)

jensavicci · October 2014

It's another sort of repeat thread but, there's new ppl so, why not?

What's your fav thing about your SO? Both Personality and physically.

What's something that bugs you about them?

Newer question. What's changed about your SO since having a LO?

-My husband has a hot man beard. It makes other men jealous they can't grow scruff like his.

-His teeth are jankety. Guess who now has invisalign???

-He hasn't changed, just shown me a new side of him. Like the babysitter informed me this morning that he told her she could send him pictures throughout the day like she does for me :x

lamarei · October 2014

Personality- that boy can make me laugh!

Physically-his eyes, hands, bum, crooked smile

Bugs me? He gets stuff all over himself and doesn't realize it!!! Dinner, dishwater, baby poop... Grrrr.

What's changed? Not much actually. He is as awesome as always

Ummm, I guess his dedication back at the gym. He put in some baby weight too :P

Good personality- she's funny as hell and always has me laughing. She makes me feel very comfortable and at home for that reason.

Bad personality- she's lazy as fuck. Clothes everywhere, dirty dishes everywhere, all the lights on all the time, and she's just super lazy! Drives me nuts. She's also very sensitive some times and I wish she would try and stand up for herself.

Physically- she has a beautiful smile and great chocolatey eyes. I also looooove her skin tone. It's all caramely and soft hehe.

What's changed since kids- she's gained so much love an appreciation for life in general. She's also become way more cautious and understanding.

ETA: her bedroom skills aren't too bad either

I love that he says completely inappropriate things without realising it. He's had a head injury so that little voice in the back of your mind that says "you need to stop talking now" doesn't work anymore. It's really, really funny. For example, saying 'God save the queen' to everyone he saw when we visited my family in the UK.

Also, he has a beard and I love rubbing it because I'm a weirdo. I can just sit and pet him like a cat for hours, it's awesome.

He puts wet towels in the laundry without telling me so the laundry smells like something died in it when I take it out. He also uses my car for work (which is fine) but leaves scraps of paper and empty packaging in it which makes me ragey.

Since LO, not a lot has changed apart from he's more determined to quit smoking. He was at 1 every couple of days, now he's going cold turkey so he's crabby all the time but it'll pass. He's also become even more of a softy than he already was and sends soppy texts from work about missing me and the munchkins.

-Favorite thing about my SO is that he is the sweetest, nicest guy ever. He's also very intelligent and well-spoken. He's also not afraid to stand up for what's right.

-Something that bugs me? He's kind of a workaholic/perfectionist, which while isn't terrible, it's making it a little rougher now with a baby. But then on the flipside of that, because he overworks, when he's at home he doesn't want to do much. So the garbage and recycling stack up, and I have to cajole him to put it out for Friday pickup. And he doesn't seem to get how much I'm having to give up to keep things running smoothly for baby every day--pumping at night, cleaning up all the pump stuff from the day, pumping at work, then in the mornings I'm getting myself ready, feeding the dogs, feeding baby and getting him ready--all while the only thing SO does is get himself ready because he has to spend 30 mins in the bathroom playing on his iPad. Ugh.

-What's changed? Not a lot. He's very loving to our little guy and is very good with him. He gives him his Tuesday/Thursday baths and gives him a bottle so I can shower every night, which is awesome. It's because of those things that I don't rage about the stuff that bugs me!

He also lets me sleep one night uninterrupted every weekend and feeds little guy from bottles. (Though because of engorgement, I generally have to wake once those nights and pump or I go crazy water fountain and that's so not fun.)

1. Favorite. He's the most hard working person I know. He had to grow up in a hurry when his dad died in an accident when DH was 14 and he had to take care of his mom. So he is an excellent provider for his family and just makes sure our home and vehicles are safe, just taking care of things. He puts his family above all else. Physically, I love his dimples!

2. Leaving lights on and cupboard doors open!

3. I don't think anything has really changed? I think he's more sensitive to things. We were at a wedding a few weeks ago, and he knew the bride since she was little and watching her dance with her dad really made him tear up! And he is not an outwardly emotional guy at all!

I love how he can make me laugh like nobody else can, and the way he is able to make friends anywhere he goes. Physically I love his hair--it's all soft and floppy and gorgeous--and his ridiculously long eyelashes that DD was lucky enough to inherit.

Bad trait--he leaves everything open!!! Cabinets, drawers, things open on the counter, it drives me nuts!

Since DD was born he has been even more helpful to me. He cooks dinner almost every night, does all the laundry, and tries to help as much as possible with DD. He is such a wonderful father and it's made me fall in love with him all over again.

SaVi925 · October 2014

Personality: I love his brain.. I know that's weird but he is so stinkin smart! He is really into astronomy and when he talks about the stars my heart melts.

Physically: He is pretty tall which I love. When he hugs me I feel small and dainty. I also love his face scruff and how he is always so tan.

The bad: He takes everything literally and looks into things waaay to much. He googles everything! Even stupid shit. .Way to philosophical. A nickname I have for him is Mr. Google. And what is it with men and their stupid cars!?!

Changed since kids: Not a whole lot actually. Although, he used to be a night owl with me but now he is in bed pretty early and I get a little lonely sometimes when insomnia kicks in. But that's understandable. That's what I have TB for!

Nichole8787 · October 2014

Love: how he makes me laugh. We're both super sarcastic and we get each other's humor. I mean he can really crack me up

Annoys me: he's lazy. 9 times out of ten he won't chore unless I ask. Like the trash. ..he'll just keep stacking it up until I say take it out. And he just leaves his stuff every where.drives me bonkers.I don't have time to clean after you! I have my stuff, the baby stuff and the dog stuff!

Changed: more into family time with our parents. Now on a Saturday it's super common for him to say let's go to your parents house. Before he only would go if it was an occasion. Hmm.....what else? Oh now he goes to bed earlier but I don't know why. He's only ever gotten up with baby onceand doesn't sleep in the same room as us so he's not being woken up.

[Deleted User] · October 2014

I love how smart my husband is and how great he is with DD. I was never really concerned because of how involved he was with my pregnancy but you know, crazy pregnant lady hormones make you worry about EVERYTHING.

Love, love his baby blue eyes. Hope DD gets to keep hers. I'd be ok if they turned green like mine but they are so beautiful blue.

Cupboard doors! He leaves them open all the time (I'm seeing this is a trend on this thread) and socks in the living room. Pick up yo damn socks dude!

Nothing has changed really except we now are falling into a routine with DD. There are times we both start to hit our breaking point but we are pretty in tune and relieve the other. Like if DD has been crying/fussing and I'm on the edge of tears. Gassy tummies suck.

emy730 · October 2014

Personality: He is so smart and so funny. He is always doing or saying something to try to make me laugh. And I swear he knows stuff about everything! He is just naturally smart and picks up a lot of information. I hope DD gets that trait!

Physically: He's just hot! He has a very rugged look about him and it's very sexy. Also, his smile and eyes are just perfect.

Annoys me: He takes his socks off everywhere and NEVER puts them in the laundry. I find socks everywhere! He also leaves his shit everywhere. Drives me crazy!

What's changed: He is definitely more sensitive now. He is way more into family time since she was born. He is also very protective and shows more of an interest in future events. It's very cute!

missyrissy · October 2014

Physical: he has the most amazing smile! This dimples!!!
Personality: (as I write this my hubby and his best friend are having input, such as "nothing" "he's revolting") so as you can see, he has a sense of humor in almost any situation, that allows me to calm down when I'm over reacting about something.

Annoys me: I am not always a clean freak, but try to keep a decent house. When I do get upset, or he gets upset, it's always my fault the house is filthy, but never any blame is on him, util I show him that is...

What's changed: he's become a little more protective of us and his home. This is not necessarily a bad thing!! I have to post a picture because I love him so much!!!

SuperTinkerham · October 2014

1. Favorite: he's hilarious and he's just an awesome partner. He makes my life better. I just think he's good looking and his smile kills me. 2. He's more stubborn than me. Drives me batshit. 3. Having Milo has just brought joy to our house. We are pretty easy going happy people, but this kid is joy.

Artistmom30 · October 2014

1: He's goofy, a hard worker, has a servant's heart, loves me and our kiddos well.

2: He micromanages.

3: Not much has changed except finding a new rhythm for 2 kids.

nolemomma14 · October 2014

1. I love his blue eyes. He loves to cuddle, and can always tell when something is bothering me and tries to make it better if he can. He's a hard worker and is really good at fixing things around the house and is very much a DIY kind of guy.

2. He tends to start a project before fully finishing another. Ex: when I was pregnant he started painting the baby's nursery. He liked the color we picked so much he decided he wanted to re paint out master bedroom. Not a problem, except he started painting our bedroom before he finished the nursery. He then got sidetracked with something else and all of a sudden we had two half painted rooms. Thankfully he finished them both before LO was born!

3. Not much has changed about him since DS has been born. He has taken charge of a lot more than I thought he would have. He does all the bath time stuff and gets DS ready for bed before I feed him. I just love seeing those two together.

This made me tear up

SO MANY DETAILS.

Nichole8787 · October 2014

So many! She posted threads about her wife dieting, how she sat on the couch with baby...the list goes on and on ...

TurtleMonsters · October 2014

Then there's the taking Ava back despite creepy craigs list basement sex thread in dec/jan area. Creepy.

If I was going to reinvent myself and fake out a whole slew of people, I think I'd actually go somewhere cool, live a real fake life. I just don't get playing online. it's kind of like cheating...though I didn't know many were potentially checking our "behind the scenes" all these months.
