Anyone Got a Good Man?
Comments

I have a good man. We each have children to consider so we don't live together yet but that's part of the plan for the future.
He's the most gentle and sensitive man I've ever met. Saying that, he's very much the man when needed;)
He knows me. He knows what I need. He knows how to handle me. He's helped me so much with exorcising the demons from the past - writing that doesn't go anywhere near giving it the gravity it deserves. I was married for a long time and yet this man knows me better. He makes me feel safe. Wanted. He's my hero. He isn't terribly keen on me keeping him on a pedestal but in all honesty that's where he belongs. I'm not some daft girl, I'm a woman in my forties. I've never felt so adored, so supported in my whole life. I've always been overly self-conscious and self aware, it can be debilitating at times but this man helps me forget myself. He makes me laugh and more importantly I can laugh at myself without losing face. He's amazing and I am truly blessed to have him in my life.:dance:Mash p'tater, mash p'tater:dance:0 -

Yes i have a very good man,we have been together for 16 years and if i said they were perfect i would be a liar but he really is wonderful.
When we started dating i already had a 2 year old son,his real father has never been interested but my now husband took him on as his own and has always been just as devoted to him as the children we went on to have together.
When my health declined very badly after our youngest was born he was incredible,he was the one who pushed me to get help,he made sure he found out everything that was available and that i got to make and keep those appointments.
When the help didn't actually help (no one's fault,just one of those things) he took on the role of my full time carer,he gave up everything he had planned career wise without question and has never once complained even though i know it disappoints him so much,deep down it does because he was proud of it but he tries to hide it from me.
Even though he cares for me he never stopped being my husband,he has always shown me that he loves me as his wife and not as someone he looks after,he never forgets important dates,he is romantic and even though i'm quite sure i look a wreck a lot of the time he makes me feel attractive.
He happily cooks,cleans and does a huge amount when it comes to the children too.
I consider myself lucky,i may be very unwell but i think it hurts him more to see me like it than it does for me to be this way iyswim and it is hard but he has stuck by me and he never gives up on me either,he helps me to stay positive and believe that one day things could be better.
Most of all though he loves me,even without this illness i can honestly say that i would never need to doubt his love for me so yes i have a great man and i adore him0 -
keep posting everyone! give us that landed up with toads the motivation to keep kissing the frogs to try to find our princes!
im early on (very very early) seeing a new fella and he seems to be pretty good so far. just enjoying getting to know each other atm and not rushing. hopefully next year i might be able to post a similar thread whether about him or someone else.0 -
I have a good man! We have been together for over 8 years- we first got talking when he was 17 and I was 18 and he'd moved in with me within 9 months!!
. He's not perfect in the slightest (but then neither am I) but we argue very very rarely and still enjoy coming home to each other, genuinely miss each other during the day etc. He's very thoughtful and affectionate and we have the same tastes and views on life which I am acutely aware is no mean feat as I don't believe in marriage and don't want kids which isn't the usual! It has also been funny to see people's reactions when they see that we are still together since school/uni age as I was the swot and he was the bad boy!

My husband is my best friend, my confidant, my lover, my counsellor, my rock in troubled times, my clown in times of sadness.
Watching him with our kids makes me weak at the knees and catching a glimpse of him across the supermarket makes my stomach flip.
I know he would walk over hot coals for us and sometimes it breaks my heart to see how tired he is when he comes in from work yet he still has the energy to play with the kids or help with tea despite being up since 4.30am.
My biggest fear is how he would cope if i died first, i know that i am his world as he is mine and he is terrified of ending up like his gramp when his nan died sad, lonely and wanting to go too.
We met on holiday 17 years ago and have 3 kids, don't get me wrong we have travelled a rocky road, and he is not perfect (messy, grumpy, xbox obsessed etc) but i cannot wait to grow old with him and look forward with eager anticipation to the rest of our lives together.I don't get nearly enough credit for not being a violent psychopath.0
