violet1 Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I don't know if it's this time of year or what, but I've been down in the dumps lately. I've been trying to think positive and focus on the things I have and appreciate. Yesterday was a bad day. I've been really sick and work sucked. I came home and cried my eyes out. My husband gave me a big hug. I love that he always tries to comfort me and make me laugh when I'm down. I love that when I'm sick or having a problem, he'll hold my hand and go to the doctor office with me whether I want him to or not. I love that he puts me first and defends me when needed. So...spill it everyone. What do you love or appreciate about your other half? 6 Link to post Share on other sites
thirtysomethingteen Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Similar to you, I love that my H always takes care of me. He has spoon fed me Gatorade when I was too weak from the flu to lift my head. He would never dream of fixing or getting himself something to eat without checking to see if I want something. He is very protective and affectionate and always tells me he loves me. He loves and dotes on our kitties and takes great care of them. He is great with children and animals. He has excellent first aid skills and is super calm in a crisis - we were at a party once and some lunatic punched his girlfriend. I just froze but my H took control, diffused the situation and escorted the abuser out before he could cause more harm. He is friendly and I always know when I take him to work functions etc. that he'll be a hit and I'll be complimented on him after the fact. :-) He is fit and adventurous and open to trying new things. Oh, and he's good in bed and always makes sure I'm taken care of - that is important. ;-) Link to post Share on other sites
autumnnight Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 He strikes this unreal balance between strong protective "MAN MAN" and tender caring person. He has this energy that is infectious. He is an amazing dad. He is my biggest cheerleader without being fake or superfluous. He always holds my hand and prays before dinner no matter where we are. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
asiangirl Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 My S/O is very caring and protective of me, He chase me for 6 months, countless nights of sitting outside of my staircase waiting for me. One hell of a persistent guy 4 years ago when we first meet and became friends to dating. He always looks and stare at me, and flirt with me. Now 4 years later, his spark are still all here. He still find himself stare at me, and flirt with me. He is the exact same guy since day one, his affection is still alive. amaze me He is very fixed and strong in our relationship, it is him that carried this whole relationship throughout. I am the emotionally weak one, without his persistent and determination it would fall apart long time ago. We get alot of racist/ignorants comments due to us being an interracial couple. Racist hurtful comments from outsiders as well to my own ignorant Asian parents. Yet he still doesn't let it bother him at all, he always told me to be strong and we make it through all this together. He is poor and not successful, but that doesn't matter. What matter is his heart and his love. Link to post Share on other sites
Anderlie Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 He's great at helping around the house and really pulls his weight. He's a fantastic cat dad. He takes his responsibilities in our marriage very seriously and would never let us down, he will always do what it takes to help us succeed as a couple. He makes me laugh every day. He appreciates everything I do at home and lavishes praise on every single thing I cook. He's super fit and healthy (handy for bringing in the groceries!). He's wonderful to my family and genuinely loves them. He's as committed to being childfree as I am. He's definitely not one to put up with rubbish but with me he's caring and gentle. Ahhhh I must be feeling soppy today! Link to post Share on other sites
d0nnivain Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 There are tons of things I love about my husband but today one of the ones in the forefront is that he's willing to do things he doesn't necessarily want to do, just to make me happy. On Friday we went to a party in NYC & stayed over. Saturday morning he got up earlier than he would have preferred after a night of partying & walked over to Rockefeller Center with me to see the Tree. It was big deal because he's really dislikes crowds & they don't get much bigger than NYC at Christmas, plus it was Santa Con & a protest march. All the way there I teased him about needing more magic in his life & he good naturedly grumbled versions of Bah Humbug. Link to post Share on other sites
redtail Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 My wife chose me, above all others. And in spite of our faults, she loves me, and I remind her everyday that I love her too. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Rainbowlove Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 She gives me unconditional love. She's a wonderful mother. She's brilliant and beautiful, funny and kind, giving and tries her best to make me happy. She's creative, generous, driven, sexual, protective and always by my side no matter what. She's my best friend. It's good to remind ourselves of what we have in our spouses. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Elliotte Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 My wife is adorably dorky and hilarious, her sense of humor and aloof attitude has been unmatched in my life and is enormously endearing to me. She has an eye for detail that helps me stay organized, helps set a great example for our son, helps our house look amazing and was one of the biggest reasons we first met, when she showed up at my door with an incredible amount of decorations for parties I hosted! She's honest, an intellectual equal, and a great friend! Doesn't hurt that she has eyes I can lose myself in, a tight body and legs for days! We joke that she is great arm candy when we go out, but the confidence boost from envious eyes and glowing compliments from those around is a nice perk! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Els Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 How tenacious and resilient he is, accepting whatever unavoidable blows life dishes out without complaint. How willing he is to work for what he wants, both in relationships and in his career. How unselfish he is, prioritizing his loved ones, including me, above himself in so many ways. How he is willing to fix things instead of throwing them away, in more ways than one. How he can be traditional in some ways, and yet so open minded in others. How he's capable of delaying instant gratification for the sake of the long term. How brilliant he is, how incredibly intelligent and knowledgeable, but yet not the slightest bit arrogant about it. How we both have our flaws, but we accept each other for it, and emerge from any struggles together. I am so incredibly lucky. Link to post Share on other sites
Shepp Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 She's utterly hilarious, crazy loyal, a straight shooter, grounded, a firecracker.. and I love her for all that, but I love her even more for the little things that other people don't get to see, that make her my girl and no one elses! Those green eyes.. Probably the most cliché compliment you can give someone but her eyes are one of a kind. They were the first thing I ever noticed about her, they're still the first thing I notice about her, everytime! I still have to make an effort when we're just talking to look away and not just stare in her eyes constantly like a smiling idiot. (Well they were one of a kind, my son has the same eyes ) First thing in the morning when she wakes up she'll flatten her bed-hair with her fingers and then lean over and do mine. Always. Since we we're about 16. The way she looks when she's concentrating on one thing (even if it never lasts long) all furrowed brow and biting her lip Her awesome impressionist skills! She pulls the best faces and exaggerated voices when she's storytelling. She's a great storyteller - she could hold a roomful of people captivated with a story that starts "so I went in to buy milk..." She constantly tries to convince me of something that’s completely untrue and ridiculous, something I know is bull. But the girls got persistence, even when I know its bull, and even with that trademark smirk all over her face she'll stick by it for hours till i'm doubting myself, then she'll laugh at me and call me an idiot for believing her. Soooooo annoying, yet its just so her, and she doesn't do it to anyone but me so actually it makes me strangely happy in a soppy warm fuzzy way. Her feistiness. I love her temper! I love she can stand up for herself, takes no c--p. I love that she keeps a lid on it however p----d at me she is That soft side that's the worlds best kept secret! For mine, our kids & the pets eyes only We'll be in a roomful of people and i'll see her walk in, and turn almost every guys head, and then i'll see her scan the room for me and her eyes light up when she picks me out, and my breath catches in my throat - even now, after all this time! And she thinks she's the lucky one! God I love that girl! (Argh how mushy was that blame it on xmas ) Link to post Share on other sites
