Supportive husbands or significant others. ....

As I look on this forum, I don't see many women sharing a story about their supportive husbands or significant others.  I don't mind being the first. I've been married for almost 9 years and pregnant with our 4th child ( 3 girls and son on the way) and my husband has been great.  When I'm crying for no reason, he wipes my tears and tells me it's okay. On my fat days, he will hold me and eat ice cream with me. When I need to vent he just listens. As a teacher, I'm often tired when i come home and he doesn't make it in until 8:30 but he will tuck the girls in bed and put lotion on my feet and back while watching a good movie. I think sometimes we take things for granted.  He is awesome and I pray that our son turns out to be like his dad.

I shared my story not to brag but to live in the moment. As women we can pick out more negative than positive in our relationships. If we choose to feed our negative side than all the things you use to love will be lost. It's okay to be in love and happy,  so don't make excuses for not sharing it with the world.

I agree ... my husband is not perfect but he always makes sure to text me and remind me to eat and always makes sure to do our daughters tubby and bedtime so I can start my homework. He picks up a lot of the housework slack even though he works full time and I stay home... he rubs my feet or back if they are sore and never makes me feel bad when I freak out about something. He is my rock and I just told him tonight that is be lost without him no matter how hard things get he is my everything :-)

My hubby is so amazing as well! We have our 2nd anniversary Oct 12 and I'm due Oct 18. I've had 3 mc and am now 14 weeks and thru it all he has bent over backwards to work and take care of me and do the housework. He never makes me feel bad for crying for no reason. He just holds me and dries my tears. I would be so lost without him! He plans to go to every prenatal with me and will be taking his week of paid vacation after the baby comes. Thank God for supportive men!

My boyfriend is amazing!!! He puts up with all the craziness and won't let me help with cleaning. He does most of the cooking so I can relax after work. He makes me feel better when I'm feeling down. He just makes me so happy all the time :-)

Omg, my husband is soooo supportive!  The closer I get to my edtimated due date (4 days now?) The more "man nesting" he does.  He does the dishes after breakfast & dinner (even though it's my job... normally I like to do them *my way* lol).  He feeds our dogs & switches them in & out of kennels do thel all get adequate excercise, he comes & rubs my back when it hurts or tucks me in at night (yes, im almost 30, but I love when he kisses me goodnight & tucks me in... I get so tired lstely I can't stay up late eith him)... he helps me in the shower becsuse my 9 mo pregnant belly makes it hard for me to resch with the loofah, lol.

This morning I started sweeping so he grabbed a second broom without me asking & started helping. And he told me to leave my piles so he could get em with the dustpan.

He does all this & he still works hard at his job & taking care of our plants & yard (we have an acre with a young orchard growing).  I'm a housewife but he works 40+ hours a week & alwaysmanages to make time to help me, even when I don't think I need it.

He is amazing.   He only missed ONE prenatal this whole pregnancy bc it got rescheduled due to a woman's labor... I love my husband so much! I'd be lost without him.
