How do you feel about your OH?

Captain_Cochoran

My wife and I celebrate 40 years of marriage on Sunday. We still fancy each other like crazy and are much more in love now than we were 40 years ago. Of course we both have our faults - over the years you just learn tolerance and give and take. It takes effort, but it is very worthwhile.

He is my best friend! After 10 years together I still get butterflies in my tummy when he kisses me. I still sometimes think about how much I love him and it brings me to tears because I love him so much! (bleurgh!! Soppy alert sorry!) I still now get excited when he walks through the door, and miss him while he is at work.

We don't really like going out together much, we like going different places, and he doesn't like to go out as much as me. But we are both fine with that. It means I still get to go out for the eve, while he sits at home with DD, and he honestly doesn't mind that situation. We are both very independant people but also very different. They say opposites attract- it's true with us.

I love Mr Spirit to pieces. We belong together, married for 26 years and I feel adored and cared for.

He is a thoroughly decent human being, never shouts or gets angry, does most of the housework and all of the laundry. Fabulous father, kind to my mum (!) . He makes me laugh, can be very silly and I am very proud of him and feel fortunate to have him.

I often imagine my hubby walking down the street holding hands with another lady and I only feel hapiness...happy that he could find someone else to love. Like everyone else mine does annoy me, he doesn't do anything to help with the kids or housework - unless I am at my wits end and in tears. He doesn't like my friends and I don't like his friends. He spends too much of our money. He starts jobs in the house and doesn't finish them so our house is a permenant building site. He moans if the kitchen is a mess but only stacks things up out of his way, doesn't wash anything up. I don't argue with him as I don't see the point. He's an ok father (he thinks the my kids are 11 & 16 and both turn to me first, but nothing like some of the guys I work with who are always going on about what things they did with their kids at the weekends. I long for the day I have enough money saved up to be able to move on - until then I do what he wants when he wants just to keep the peace- my sanity went years ago. Oh and btw we've been together 17 yrs and married for 14 of those.

(now waiting to c how many of u ask y I'm still here! )

OMG, this is so my OH! And most of the mess in the kitchen etc is normally his!!
He works nights, 4 a week, then two out of the other three he goes out with his mates (I usually work the 3rd). He says mean things to me sometimes trying to get a reaction. He drinks too much when he goes out and passes out on the sofa. He snores ALL THE TIME and takes up too much room in the bed. He smokes like a chimney. He's as romantic as a toothbrush (sorry, had to nick that!:rotfl:) then 'demands' sex at random and annoying times of the day. He moans that there's nothing to eat, half an hour after I get back from shopping. He complains about things but can't be @r$£ed to deal with them. He eats in bed (which I HATE and after toast, it's like sleeping in sandpaper) then leaves the plates on the floor.... I could go on for ages! BUT I love him more than just about anything (my son wins that one), I know he would never be un-faithful and would walk to the ends of the earth for me and our son. Some days I really hate him, but I cannot imagine him not in my life :kisses2:

So he has good points too;)

I can't imagine not being with my OH. He found me when I was in a horrible place mentally and had just been discharged froma psych unit, hell bent on making my next suicide attempt work.
He saved me. He gave me that spark I needed to light a fire.

He's caring, loving, funny, genuine and he doesn't lose his patience with me when I'm insecure. He looks after me and never lets anyone hurt me. He's my best friend and my soulmate and I would be lost without him.
I wish that he knew just how much I appreciate him. He's never claimed to be something he's not and I love him just the way he is.

I have pretty much all the same feeling with mine as fernliebee has with hers. We've been together for 14 years now (I think) & hard to believe but it just gets better & better. I love him sooooo much & absolutely can not imagine life without him. My heart skips a beat when I hear his car pull onto the drive or if I catch his eye across the room & he gives me a little grin. He would do anything & everything to make us happy. We're both a bit rubbish at diy, both messy & uninterested in housework but he doesn't gamble, drink, smoke, go to the pub, play computer games, look at !!!!!! or treat me with anything other than total love & respect. We have so much fun together. He worships the ground I walk on (despite being aware of my faults) & continually encourages me to push myself in all areas of my life. I am in awe of him to a certain extent because he is such an amazing & wonderful person.
I am in lub! :happyhear
