Anyone Got a Good Man?

traleegirl

I got rid of my cheating husband and thought I'd never trust anyone again, then I met Mark who is without doubt the BEST boyfriend anyone could wish for. I am loved and cherished and cared for in was I never thought possible. He is taking me to Venice on the 5th of January for a romantic weekend and I can't wait!!!!
So yes I do have a very good man.........

I have a good un he gets on with things no matter what; currently days before triple bypass but as stoical as though he was about to have a skin tag removed!

How lucky you are. I had a good man once but I mislaid him. Perhaps there's another one out there somewhere?

Get me, but be quick.

Mine is a good un, in fact I joke that if women knew what he was like I'd have a fight on my hands to keep him!

When we met, my last relationship was with a total w****r. I had a negative equity mortgage over my head because of his lying cheating drinking ways, my father had died, I had to move back to my hometown with my mother and my brother was having some drink issues of his own. I had a crappy low paid temp job and the commute from hell. Many men wouldn've run a mile, but he stayed and I'm so grateful he did.

He cooks, cleans, listens to me, has supported me while slowly but surely my life got better. Mortgage has gone, I moved up the job ladder, the commute has gone because we moved in together, my brother shaped up and took control of his life. He took on my cat (although he loves kitties so that wasn't a chore!) drives (as I can't), is thoughtful and kind, funny and generous. He keeps me in line when I act like a brat but indulges and treats me probably more than he should! And let's just say he's very well proportioned and knows what to do haha! And to top it off he proposed this year, and I can't wait to marry him

Go on then, I'll join in and blow my OH's horn.

I'm late 30's, he's mid 40's and we met 3 years ago at work.

At the time I was a total mess in every department and I am still to this day surprised that he was interested.

In those 3 years he has helped me to sort myself out and has helped my children to switch from becoming potential trouble-makers to top of the class students - I was a terrible mother and wasn't giving them the attention they needed.

He encouraged me to go to Uni and I'm now in my final year - in September I hope to start SEN teaching mentor training.

He's loving, attentive, hard working, funny and my boys love him to bits and they call him Dad.

The only negative is that he's type 1 diabetic and I was sterilised a few years ago, and I would dearly love to have been able to give him a child as he doesn't have any.

This thread is so lovely! some of your stories are making me a bit emotional.

I also have a good one, we got married in september this year having been together for 5 years. He is kind, so thoughtful and tells me everyday how much he loves me and how beautiful i am (even if i really dont feel it sometimes). Genuinely the nicest guy I have ever met and i've never known anyone to have a bad word to say about him, makes me very proud

I have to admit I'm not a fan of this thread, it's all very self indulgent, just my opinion! If I was single, I would hate to read this and reading the success stories wouldnt make me think any better about it!
And for the record, I have an amazing partner, just don't feel the need to write on the internet about it!

I think that's why a thread like this is good. People with horrible partners often start threads - it's good to see the other side.

If I was single, I'd be reassured that there are good people in happy, loving relationships.

But haven't you done just that? You felt the need to tell us that you have an amazing partner ( and that's great!) which goes against what you said in your first paragraph..

If it became bragging rights about marrying a brain surgeon, or being lavished with expensive gifts every week, I can see it would it grate, but what this thread does show is that there is most likely someone for everyone, somewhere and we have just been lucky to find them so far!

If you were single, would all the threads about women in relationships with men who are violent, abusive, alcoholics, drug addicts, video game addicts and just plain a-holes make you think any better about finding a relationship?

There's nothing wrong in looking for advice if you're trapped in a relationship with someone who fits some of the above criteria, and there should be nothing wrong with those who just want to share how happy they are with what they have.

I might do, but I'm a straight man so this isn't the place to sing my partner's praises.
