I feel like I have to stick up for my husband a little bit, that perhaps I have been a bit harsh and portrayed him as an Alf Garnett type. He really isn't. He has good points. Now let me just think of some for you...
* Oh yeah, he provided me with two gorgeous daughters
* He makes me laugh so much a little bit of wee almost comes out (that's natural childbirth for you)
* He is a wonderful hands on father
* He deals with most poo related things, be it baby poo, dog poo stuck on shoes, fox poo on doorstep, cat poo in the garden, he will clear it up and sort it out while I am gagging
* He is a happy drunk
* He has lots of friends who think he is wonderful
* He is very loyal
* He will let his daughters put make up on him
* He lets me hold the remote control
* He is a fantastic cook
* He is my bed warmer,no need for a hot water bottle in my bed
* He is 6ft tall
* He will do all the ironing whilst watching football
* He never really gets ill
* He will buy everyman and his dog a drink in the pub
* He doesn't seem to notice my bad breath/thick jam jar glasses and spot combo most mornings
* But most of all, he still loves me...
A few bad points
* He doesn't seem to notice when I have spent an hour getting ready.I would really like him to say how gorgeous I look. Instead, he says things like, 'Good, you're ready. Let's go.'
* He is constantly trying to cup my breasts. And it always seems to be at the most inconvenient times, such as when I'm making peanut butter sandwiches for the girls or when I'm brushing my teeth
* He doesn't feel like he's had a meal unless it involves a lot of meat
* He is very grumpy
* He lives and breathes football. He hid this well when we first met. But then it was the end of the football season so he had three months to reel me in and catch me before he went off and left me a football widow
* When he is ill, we all know about it. He hurt his thumb during football, we are on week three of, 'My thumb is so weak I can't write.'
* He turns into Kevin the teenager when he's around his parents despite being nearly 40.
* He buys everyman and his dog a drink in the pub. Doesn't he know there's a credit crunch?
The bad points could of course go on, I haven't even got onto him curling his toes, but this is supposed to be a post about how gorgeous he is...oops...

He actually sounds really lovely, well, apart from trying to reign in your Waitrose shopping, which is a basic human right. Also many points I recognise, though for breast cupping, read random stroking. Especially during Prison Break - no! I am concentrating on Wentworth trying to emote! Do not try and stroke my thigh! You are putting me off!
Ha ha. I might suggest for him to move on to thigh stroking rather than trying to be my bra...
That's so funny - you're describing just about all our husbands I shouldn't wonder. I did chuckle out loud at he's trying to cup my breasts all the time. My husband so does that too! In a kind of 15-year- boy in a grown up man's body 'I'm allowed to touch these' kind of way. They never ever grow up do they?
I think all men are grumpy too!
He sounds like a real sweetie, I was once very impressed by a boyfriend who could undo my bra one handed, but I'm easily pleased.
I don't really feel qualified to comment on this post!
Tara - I know, they never seem to get over the boob thing do they?
blogthatmama - I am sure a few of my exes weren't grumpy - but then they became my exes so they obviously were lacking something else!
Auntiegwen - I am with you, I would be impressed, there is nothing worse than them struggling with a bra strap to ruin the moment...
The dotteral - ooh do please comment. Always good to have a man's perspective...
I think we have the same husband. He's not a bigamist, is he?
We are officially maried to the same man... Perhaps they were separated at birth? The being ill thing really made me laugh, read this one (I hope that worked it's meant to be a link) MH
ok it didn't work, but I can do it I swear, just ask Earnest (rub2neurons) he taught me.. so I'll just put in the html http://millenniumhousewife.blogspot.com/2008/01/husband-flu.html MH
Working Mum - I always wondered where he was on an evening...
MH - Thanks for managing to post a link! Will read and comment
