boyfriends/husbands

I see a lot of emotional women on here always bashing their boyfriends/husbands but very few show appreciation for what they do.

I appreciate my boyfriend for everything he does for me & our growing family. He works 2 jobs to support us & to make sure I don't have to work full time during my pregnancy, he has encouraged me to go back to school, loves me unconditionally & completely understands all of my crazy mood swings & hormones. He even goes out of his way to satisfy all of my cravings no matter how ridiculous they might be & even if he has to travel to the next town over to get me what I'm craving (next town over is over 20 miles away)

He's given me the life I could have only dreamed of having.
Last year I would've never guessed my life would be where it is today. To be with such a wonderful, loving man. Having my first child, being back in school to better our lives & having my own place with a man I love dearly.

All I'm saying is if you boyfriend/husband has provided a good life for you, treats you like the queen you are then don't forget to appreciate them, let them know you love them & are grateful for all they do. Even the smallest thank you changes their whole day, even their week. They are going through a lot dealing with our crazy hormones lol.

So sorry for the rant I just couldn't help myself.

& before the angry ladies comment on here saying "some of us aren't that lucky" you can keep those comments to yourself. I do feel for you & can only imagine how much harder your life is but this post wasn't meant for negativity.

First, I want to say that on this forum, comments are always welcome so we can't tell anyone 'to keep their comment to themselves'.  All have a right to comment as this is an open forum.

I think that what often happens is that people like to vent.  And thank goodness that there is a harmless outlet to do so in this format.  It feels good to get it off your chest and to feel like someone understands.  It kind of helps recharge our batteries.  

I've been married 14 years and with my husband for almost 18 years.  Sure, I have had days in which I was pretty ticked off at him.  That is completely normal and no one should feel bad about that and I hope that they feel free to share those bad days here.  And if they have a chronic problem in their relationship, this is a great place to come to get ideas from other ladies on how to work on them and hopefully eventually resolve them.

So, I'm happy for those who have never had a bad day with your partner . . .   although I don't really believe it. :>)  No relationship is perfect and all require effort and work from time to time.  That doesn't mean that it is a bad relationship to have to work on this or that.  Because that is what life is about.  Learning, evolving, improving.  I do it every day (or try to) as a wife, a mother and a person.  

Luck to all and please always feel free to post about what you need help with or things that work for you well.  peace

Some other women are really emotional and need someone just to listen. We are pregnant and it could be stressful when u do have a babys father who really isn't doing his job as a soon to be father. Also a lot of women are experiencing the same so it's good to know that your not alone

Some of these girls are very young and are just looking for some reassurance. Some may also lack the maturity to filter what they say. O well it doesn't really harm us and it probably makes them feel a bit better.

I'd rather them vent on here a pretty anonymous type of setting rather than on Facebook! I say let it all out here, where they  can get advice. when it comes to what you appreciate about your men, congrats but it looks like you got it all figured out my comments  and advice are not needed, lol. share your wisdom with the women who don't have the most supportive men or the women who work until labor because  they're the main supporter and get frustrated!

My husband works hard too. I appreciate very much I get to stay at home with my son all day. He goes out of his ways to provide for us. And I am happy and love him very much.

I feel like it's easier for women to complain about their men than it is to complement them on their hard work & appreciate them.

I've noticed that too. My boyfriend works 12 hours a day. He doesn't want me working. He only wants me to focus on the baby and school. He bought me a brand new car. He rubs my belly all the time and when I had a really bad headache and wasn't feeling good he came home from work just to cuddle with me. He drove 15 minutes on night just to get me ice cream. We argue once and a while but I don't freak out and feel the need to post my relationship problems on social media. He has also already bought a high chair, swing, and a fold and go thing. And I am also only 17 weeks.
