What an interesting thread!!

Am I a good partner? Actually, I will admit to being impulsive, a tad snappy at times and over excitable but I think in the context of our home life then yes I am a good partner.

I still make him a cup of tea and wake him up in the morning, I do all of the washing and ironing and general cleaning. My OH cooks most nights as I get home quite a bit later than him but I will do the washing up, he occasionally does the bathroom but I think he may of only changed the bed once or twice in 2.5 years :eek:. I do feel like his mum a lot and I have told him this!

I try my best to make him laugh and I am normally successful, I tell him how gorgeous I think he is most days and will often buy him little treats from the supermarket when I go (he will mention fancying something and I will remember and pick it up for him). I am very affectionate towards him and rarely moan about him being on the Xbox/PC etc, I ask him how his day was and actually listen and talk to him about it rather than just nodding, I know he is terrible at remembering anniversaries/birthdays so I got him a custom calendar made with them all on (it's the little things). I make an effort to ask after his family when I know he has seen them and I play taxi the majority of the time as he only has a work van which he can't use evenings/weekends.

Is he a good partner?...... Hmm...................

Perhaps I shouldn't go down that road :rotfl:

This thread has been surprising (to me) in some ways, especially seeing ladies making so much effort for their Partners. Discussions on bartering for BJ is interesting! (Bartering sexual favours in relationship is surely not my cup of tea).

It’s certainly not a surprise to see more women than men respond on this thread. Some of the responses from blokes like being perfect and excellent husband/partner is interesting in some ways

ha i dont think anyone really believes they are the perfect partner, as if anyone is honest with themselve there will always be something they could be better at or do better at.

as to the bartering in relationships haha it really happens all the time without most people thinking about it, in my house it was bartered at the staert of the relationship, i do the cooking she does the ironing - mainly because she hates cooking (and could burn water) but finds ironing relaxing as she can set herself up to watch some tv or listen to music, whereas i hate ironing with a passion, but love cooking so that bartering worked nicely

as to pre thought out sexual favours - i should be so lucky, i mean it will always happen at some point for one thing or another just another case of i scratch your back and you can scratch mine

I like to think I am a pretty good wife - the fact that I am not yet divorced would suggest I am doing something right...

I laugh at Mr G's terrible jokes, I make his packed lunch each morning, I did the majority of the cooking and cleaning (although now I am 8 months pregnant he has really stepped up his efforts with housework, so kudos to him on that one). I leave him be a few times a week so he can play a couple of hours PS3 or watch sport, I prepare his martial arts kit so he is ready to go after work. I run the household budget and make the shopping list. I don't complain when he wants to go out to the pub with his friends, and I am 100% loyal and devoted to him.

On the flip side - I'm moody and irrational, impatient and easily vexed. Poor soul, having to put up with me!

What do I get in return from my husband? I get a man who gives the best cuddles, who will warm up my always cold bottom (not sure why it's always cold??!), who would walk over hot coals to give me anything I desired if he could, who works hard to provide a lovely home for us. He indulges my rubbish TV needs, runs a great bubble bath, and is going to make an amazing father to our child. Plus I fancy the pants off him!

He also fails to pick up his dirty clothes, spends too much money on what I consider non-essentials, is a fussy eater....but hey you gotta take the rough with the smooth lol

So do women really go for big c0cks like the OH and her friends always laugh about when they've had wine? A couple of them are awful and size up every bloke they meet :rotfl: it's not how nice the bloke is, it's how big his wallet and his pants are Luckily my OH is more down to earth

No of course not.

If he's loaded & good in bed we forgive them lots of other short comings;)

I quite like giving BJs but it's early days for me and OH still

Go on I'm intrigued?

Are BJs something you don't do at the beginning of a sexual relationship then or do you mean it hasn't got that far?
