I have the best husband in the world. We were friends for almost 2 years, and during that time I was dating someone else who was very bad for me. That person treated me very badly and hurt me frequently. During the years I was friends with my husband I did many things to hurt him, which I still feel bad about... but he was so commited to me and our friendship that he stuck by me no matter what I did. He was always there when I needed him, and most of the time I didn't even have to ask. One day I finally woke up and saw what I'd done to him and how kind he'd been through all of it. That's the day I realized I'd fallen in love with him. That was 7 years ago.
We have had some bad times since. Due to starting a family really before we were ready and having many financial troubles, we had a stressed relationship and fought a lot. We both said things we regret, but luckily we did not do anything unforgivable. We are now in a much better place and our relationship is getting stronger again.
Through all of this he never stopped loving me and never stopped trying. After all these years of being together, he still can't keep his hands off me. We are the couple that still holds hands and walks with our arms around eachother. While driving in the car he often grabs my hand and gives it a kiss... that just makes me melt! He tells me he loves me every chance he gets. He is very loving and trusting, and would give me the world on a silver platter if I asked for it.
Thank you for giving me this chance to brag about him.

A guy who doesn't moan much? That's a rarity, lol.

This day in age, it is difficult to find a good man. You found one who will take responsiblity, which alone is rare. You also said you have a child who is not his, that is also difficult to find men who will raise another man's child. I know little about your family, but I'm getting the picture this is a good guy.

You sound like you are so in love and it is really sweet, there are two different sides to a coin and right now me and you in our love lifes are definately two different sides LOL. I cannot brag about mine right at this present moment in time, as we seem to be going through a rough patch again although I do not think he realises it yet! I am sure it will work itself out in time, it worked out last time so I have every belief it will again. But I am really glad to hear of other peoples happiness it is lovely! Long may it last for you both xx

Oh I still have days... sometimes weeks like that. Actually we're just getting passed one. During the times we had problems, it would seem like each problem or fight would only make our relationship worse.. probably because of how we handled it. Now it seems like once the problem or fight is over, our love is stronger because of it. I guess we're just finally finding the right place in life where we should be.
I hope your problems fade quickly. Talking seems to help

Oh I talk, he just does not tell me the truth even when I know that he is not telling me the truth. I just sometimes feel like I am going around in circles! Oh well never mind, as my gran would say "it will all come out in the wash!"

Aha, one of those. Sometimes I feel like my husband is like that. Certain things he won't be honest about cause he thinks I'll be mad, but eventually he does say it.

It sounds like you have a great husband and I would brag about him too.
Actually, I also have a fantastic husband! He does some things that drive me crazy and we don't always see eye to eye on things but I love him and I know that he loves me. I would do anything for him as he would for me.
He adopted my daughter from a previous boyfriend and has been her dad since she was 3. He would give the world to her if he could and he doesn't treat her any different than he does our daughter that we had together. He has a son that is only 3 months older than my daughter and he actually has more to do with my daughter than he does his biological son.

I talk about my husband all the time, too. Sometimes my friends say ENOUGH!!! I guess I don't really realize that I am doing it. I don't think it is compulsive but we are so involved in each others lives and do so much together that it is hard not to speak of him often. I am proud too have him as my husband and not afraid to let anyone know it!!

That is probably me as well. I don't have a job or any activities I do by myself, so when I talk to other people, the only things I have in my life to talk about are my husband and kids. I have once heard that I talk about my kids too much... but that is my life. I'm a stay at home mom.

I am so happy for you! To find love like that is one in a million. At least you found a keeper and didn't have to keep fishing. That is so sweet that he still holds your hand. Does he still open doors for you as well. You have got true love. Tell him to keep up the good work. We applaud him.@katsmeow1213 (28716)

You know it's so rare that we actually go places together, when we do we always have the children, and we have taught them to hold the doors, as it is good manners. My oldest son is always the first to run and grab a door for us. My 5 year old son is still learning.
Although if we are alone, yes he is a gentleman and will open the doors for me... 99% of the time.
