Ladies, what do you love about YOUR man? (marriage, husband, family)

Some women rather live a life of integrity temporarily alone, than settle for being disrespected and trapped with someone who does not love them back. Some women don't have a man. Some of these women have A LIFE--

Gasp!--apart from a man! Maybe you're trying to start a catfight. Men like you like that kind of stuff.

Actually, I'm guessing it's that Lao has been on C-D for a few years and has probably seen a whole lot of kvetching. I've only been on C-D for five months and I have a good idea of who, specifically, he might mean when he talks about "bitter Betties." And lemme tellya: If those women display even a quarter of the arrogance, frostiness, brattiness, and sense of entitlement with men "in real life" that they do on this board, only a masochist would put up with them for any length of time.

But fear not, there are some equally cranky and bitter men on here, too.

I kind of wish they'd all find each other and go live on Neptune or something.

Thanks to everyone who has participated in the thread so far. I love to hear positive things about people in their relationships. Also, as someone who is always trying to improve himself, I am learning from you all, ways that I could perhaps become a better person and husband to my wife.

So thank you and keep the posts coming.

I love his intelligence and sense of humor. His unconventional view of life and maturity (most of the time ). How sweet he is and how close he is to his family. And, of course, his amazing body.

I'm sure there are more. I wrote him a list of 100 things that I love about him but don't have that at my disposal atm

I already alluded to what I love about my man in the other thread, but I'll share a little more.

Some may already know this from reading my other posts; my husband & I have 2 children with special needs. This put in an incredible strain on our marriage, especially after our 2nd son was diagnosed. Not only was our life in general under a lot of stress but because of our situation, we hadn't been alone or away from our kids in close to a decade.

A couple of weeks ago, he & I celebrated our 15 yr anniversary and my parents were comfortable enough, for the first time ever, to watch both our kids for the entire weekend. Casino in a beautiful hotel, reservation at a great restaurant - all set....with the option of catching a show or hitting a club.

Well, as soon as we got there, we were so happy just to be alone & together; we missed dinner, never caught a show, never took advantage of the "dress" clothes we packed, maybe played a little the morning we left and we had the BEST time.

It's nice to know that after all this time (and many obstacles) that I still find him incredibly attractive. Despite seeing each other at home and at work every single day, we still have interesting and new things to talk about. He is a good man that loves & puts his family first. I gave him a golden opportunity to walk 7 months ago and his life would likely have been much simpler. At the prime age of 42, he certainly could live a moree exciting life, with a lot of variety and less responsibility. Instead, he chose to fight for us, our family, and I feel very lucky to have him.

He's handsome, smart, funny, compassionate, romantic, great father, provider, thinks the world of me and has a heart of gold. All the while looking like this:

Say no more

- His sense of humor, he can always make me laugh. He's also kind of a smarta**, but knows when to cut it out
- How comfortable I feel around him, even when we first met (extremely unusual for me)
- Very kind, understanding, yet sees straight through any B.S. and isn't afraid to tell me so
- Generous, compassionate, and all that
- Confident, yet pretty humble and very down to earth
- Extremely smart and very successful, but doesn't flaunt it.....often doesn't even talk about it unless you ask
- How much he values his family and close friends
- Pays attention when I talk, and actually seems interested
- He doesn't need another mommy, he's perfectly capable of taking care of himself
- How he's not that handy at fixing things...I dunno, I think it's cute
- Completely able to laugh at himself (like about how he can't fix things)
- His eyes...they're amazing (the rest of the bod ain't bad either)
- The way he smells. It's not cologne or soap, I don't know what it is, and really it's not that great of a scent, but I love it (pheremones at work?)
- He's more outgoing than I am, which is good since I'm pretty shy
- Very open about himself and his emotions


That's a little longer than I originally intended....anyway, I don't know if he's quite "my" man, but I liked the other thread so I figured I'd contribute to this one.
