My husband is not always an a-hole

@stokesm21 brought to my attention that we always seem to vent (and there is NOTHING wrong with venting.... this is the best platform to do that!) about what dicks our SO's are.
HOWEVER- It feels good to remind myself how much he actually does. So brag here if you want!
ETA this gif. It's a good reminder for me that just because DH does something different doesn't mean it is wrong

Re: My husband is not always an a-hole
He has has also taken over bath time for DS since his LO was born. We are starting to find our groove.
Awesome to hear what good your husband has been up to.
My DH had his first evening alone with both kids today while I was in class. He is fully capable, but gets very stressed by DD's crying. He probably wanted to throw the towel in and suggest that I not so grad schook, but didn't even mention it. DH has always talked like he would be supportive if I went to grad school, but I wasn't sure if he woukd be as supportive when it came down to it. He sure is though.
DH also sings and plays guitar with our toddler almost every nightn. It is so fun and sweet.
He's always really great at grabbing stuff for me while I'm BF as well. Making sure my water is topped up and such. And checking in on me all day, every day via text asking if I got any sleep, how my day is going, if I ate etc. So while men tend to not be physically supportive with babies, I'm very appreciative that he's emotionally supportive. Most of the time... LOL

We're not the lovely dovey type, we're best friends and don't expect/need these adulations from each other, so him saying it means that much more
He would make me breakfast on the days where I was feeling good enough to get out of bed; on the days where my pain and exhaustion were too much, he would take LO in the morning and let me continue to sleep while giving LO a bottle of breastmilk.
when I would be hard on myself for any reason, he would swoop in and comfort me, giving me words of encouragement and reminding me how much I amazed him with everything.
now, he checks in periodically from work. Once he comes home he take LO for a bit to spend time and give me a break.
My my gosh I love my DH.
EDIT: so I just had flowers delivered to me and I was in the midst of being really hard on myself and losing patience. Flowers were from DH and he wrote the nicest note. Definitely bawling my eyes out right now.
