Anyone besides me like their DH?

[sk!mom]

This board has some downer threads today.

Between people who are happy that their DH's can't go to WDW with them or those who wish that their DH's wouldn't go. http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1896905

and then those who consider their DH's to be really selfish-

I'm just wondering if anyone else is actually really happy with their partner.

OH MY WORD!!!!!!!!!!

I am so with you there. Message boards have really given me a greater appreciation for the man that God blessed me with and that I'm HONORED to call my husband.

I do really find it very sad. One of the main reasons I left a secular board I belonged to a few years ago was due to the non loving way the women talked about their dh's. Some of those women were PROUD that they don't even get intimate with their husbands on the board I left. I always felt like they thought I was a goody goody because I am actually happily married and enjoy my life with mine. Oh well I'll take my life any day. I love my baby so much. I still cry at every single love song I hear, because I love him so much! I'm more in love with him now than when I first fell in love.

So now I belong to a Christian board ( and the DIS too of course). It's so refreshing to see other women actually love and like their husbands. I know we all have moments with our spouses, but some people can be really brutal with the things they say about theirs.

I like my DH! Sure, he irritates me from time to time, just as I irritate him from time to time. But we chose each other, we're well-matched, we respect each other, and we're partners. I know he would never, EVER do anything to *intentionally* hurt or upset me... but he can't read my mind, and his brain doesn't work the same way mine does. 95% of the time when he's done something "wrong" it is due to a miscommunication or misunderstanding, and I get a lot farther by calmly discussing it than by griping and venting.

My DH isn't perfect, and neither am I. What we are is blessed to have each other.

While I'm not as gaga as the previous poster (and I mean that in a good way!) I feel very lucky to be married to my husband. We work together as a team, respect eachother's needs and differences, and do our best to continually grow in the same direction. We all know that marriage can be a tough gig - anyone who is married knows what I mean! But count me in the group who loves their DH (flaws and all - because I know he loves me and mine!)

Here's to all the great DHs out there - and may there be many more to come! (Not for us, of course!)

ME ME ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have the best DH in the world. He not only works two jobs so that I can stay home with our DS5months, but he also helps me take care of him and helps me around the house when he is home. Not only that, but he is my best friend. I enjoy spending time with him, and I miss him when I'm not with him. I can't even imagine going to WDW without him. It just would not be the same. I have the utmost love and respect for my husband, and as a pp said I am honored to be his wife. I love you honey!!!

2 days until DS' first trip to the world!!!

Count me as someone who has a terrific husband! We just celebrated our 13th wedding anniversary two days ago.

I LOVE MY DH more than life itself!!!! We have been together since I was 15 and he was 17 (we are now 32 & 34) and I love him just as much now ans I did back then!! Yes he aggravates me, but I am sure I aggravate him too!!! It all works out..haha

He is my best friend!!!

 

[retire2disney]

Well I have to say I enjoy my husband!! He is a kind hearted man who would do anything to make sure his family was taken care of. He is my "best friend" and I am greatful for feeling that way about him. My dear best friend and her husband HATE each other. To this day I can't figure out why they are even married. She always tells me just how lucky I am. He is not perfect, but neither am I. We have been married now for almost 15 years. We were Jr. High School sweet hearts. I can't imagine my life without him!! We've known each other for 26 years...OUCH!!! I hadn't thought about that before...guess that means we're getting old LOL!!!!

My husband is my best friend. We've been thru heck and high water together and we still go strong. I've put up with him, he's put up with me, but we have a very strong foundation...and it works. Yes...I actually LIKE my DH!

There are many negatives around here...I've learned to ignore them.

I am one of the people (not in either link above though) who asked about advice regarding DH (there is a thread here I started, asking advice on how to convince him to be more positive about traveling with the kids). But...yes, I am extremely happy with DH! He is a wonderful person and helps me out a lot (we both are full-time teachers), is wonderful with the kids, etc. He is very loving and affectionate. That's why I did not expect a negative attitude toward vacationing with the kids. It really is as simple as that. Had nothing to do with how happy I am with him overall or anything like that. He is my best friend, we understand each other, and we talk and work through things instead of bottling them up inside. November will be 7 years of marriage for us, and sometimes it feels as if we have been together forever, and other times it feels like yesterday. Both of those, by the way, I mean in a good way!

I'm married to my soulmate. On occation he drives me nuts, but I think that's a normal part of marriage. (I'm non-Christian, he's an atheist - even us secular folks can have good long term marriages.)

I do love my dh but at times the boys(dh and ds1 and ds2) do annoy me. Isn't that their jobs.

We have been together for 33 years and will be celebrating our 30th wedding anniv at DW in Aug.

DH is very excited about our up coming trip and is doing a great job trying to make calm me down about the trip. I have tendinitis in my ankle and I am very worried about the swimming and the walking I have to do.

He also knows that the next month will be very hard on me with ds2 going off to college. It has just been dh and ds2 for the last 2 years since ds1 was in college.

 

[StitchandPooh'sMom]

Love, love LOVE my DH! I think he is a much better person than I am - very patient, never sarcastic when he is tired or angry, always helps out. I wish he wanted to go to WDW as much as I do, but no one's perfect!

I do think people are just venting, though, for the most part. I hope people aren't as unhappy as they seem sometimes on these threads.

 

[hopesmommy]

I am one of the posters on the "My DH is driving me NUTS" thread. I want to make something perfectly clear. I LOVE MY HUSBAND!

I do not want anyone telling people I don't like my DH. We are best friends, but like any relationship, we get aggravated with each other and need to vent. We have been together for 9 years, he lost his job 2 months before DD was born, he was out of work for 2 years, we have lost 4 family members in 7 months, and much more. We are there for each other. I just needed to vent.

Btw, if you read my post, you know that my DH knows about my aggravation. I told him.

I LOVE mine too! I read a thread on here just today and was thinking--this is so disrespectful to your husband! How would you feel if your "DH" posted something like that about you?!?! I only read a few of the posts and had to stop.

 

[mom23boys]

I love my DH he is my best friend. We have been married for almost 17 years and been together for over 21 years.

He does annoy me at times and I him but together I think we are great together. He has a big heart and loves our kids and would do anything in the world for us.

 

[sk!mom]

How would you feel if your "DH" posted something like that about you?!?! I only read a few of the posts and had to stop.

OP here- I think this poster really nailed what bothers me about some of these posts.

I would be very hurt if my DH was saying some of the things that I've seen posted today- even in the name of "venting". Sure I get annoyed at times as does he but we make sure to treat on another with respect.

Venting is not a bad thing unless it increases your negative feelings which you then carry back into your relationship.

By the way- not a newlywed- We've been married for 28 years.

One more here!!! I love my DH so much. He works at home and I work outside so he takes care of the kids during the week, he is more like a stay at home dad since I bring most of the income, and we are fine with that. Some people looks at us in a weird way because of that, but it works for us. We have only one car and he takes me daily to work, the kids to school and he even takes my mom to her work and pick us all up in the afternoon and he cooks too, we both do the cleaning. I take care of the finances and the kids schoolwork. We love each other so much, of course we have moments, but part of a marriage is to deal with it.

 

[dreamer17555]

I did really, really, really love mine. I mean we even had the whole He said, She said TR thing going... of course then he up and decides to leave me and the kids about two weeks ago and now I am not nearly so happy with him
