<p>This topic didn’t really take off in the middle of the pet peeve thread, so I’m starting a new one.</p>
<p>Tell us why he/she is Mr./Mrs. Wonderful. . .</p>
<p>H is an excellent singer. He always bursts out in song–usually silly pop songs–and makes everyone laugh. He’s also a happy camper–fun to travel with. He has a gift for foreign languages and is never shy about speaking them, always willing to try the most exotic foods, etc.</p>
<p>My H is super funny. He’s done stand up comedy in the past, hasn’t done it lately. </p>
<p>He lets me pick out everything…cars, furniture, decorating, appliances, you name it. 
</p>
<p>He is also very devoted to his family, and a promise is a promise to him. If he promises something, he’ll give every waking moment to fulfill his promise. :)</p>
<p>He’s also my biggest fan… (does that count??? LOL)</p>
<p>He’s one of the smartest people I know. And passionately emphatic about his point of view.</p>
<p>She may be the most caring person ever put on earth. She is just a good and caring person.</p>
<p>Every single morning he puts a cup of hot tea on my nightstand before he leaves for work.</p>
<p>husband is my 100% partner in everything, including cleaning up around the house, cooking, raising the kids…the whole kit and kaboodle…he doesn’t do laundry (except under duress)…I can live with that…</p>
<p>^^^
Can I ask…was he raised doing routine household chores? That seems to make the big difference.</p>
<p>Sooo much I don’t know where to begin. I apologize for bragging but I love my husband so and he’s a true renaissance man. He has the facade of a high ranking military guy (that he used to be), yet possesses the kindest, warmest heart of anyone I’ve ever met. A literal genius in his field and an award winning ‘rockstar’ professor in his very mathematical area of specialization, yet he also finds time to bake cakes as surprises to celebrate small achievements in our family. He once taught himself how to make jewelry from the internet just so he could make me a birthday gift. He actually seeks out the carpet cleaner when its too dirty and will do the whole house (like yesterday)! He makes the best soup in the universe, and has the ability to build us two decks, garage and furniture to go with it. He is so funny, we get to howl with laughter every day. As an added bonus he’s absolutely still very hunky, has all his hair, gets lots of ‘chili peppers’ on ratemyprofessor, and is so fit that he has a resting heartbeat of 40 at 48.</p>
<p>mom2collegekids: not really, but lived in an off campus house both in college and grad school so was really forced to take care of stuff…plus, I was working 60 hour weeks when we were first married (and he was still a student) so if he didn’t chip in, it didn’t get done…</p>
<p>On top of his many other sterling qualities, my husband irons. :)</p>
<p>He’s a great husband, but a better father.</p>
<p>^^haha, that’s for a different thread…</p>
<p>My hubby does the laundry, most of the housework, all of the yardwork and most of the errands. He is even-tempered, generous and thoughtful. The best father I’ve ever met. Also a magnificent lover.</p>
<p>Wow, all this cooking, ironing, cleaning, parenting. . .I think I’ll go back to the pet peeve thread. . . :(</p>
<p>My H has a glow-in-the-dark plastic dinosaur! ;)</p>
<p>atomom ^^^ LOL, rotflmao!!</p>
<p>H is one of the kindest people I know. He routinely goes out of his way to do things for the ones he loves, to make their lives easier. He does chores, cooks ( well, does Kraft M&C count?) and does laundry & ironing. He is truly my BFF. He does NOT have a glow in the dark dinosaur, though…sigh…</p>
<p>Now, back over to the pet peeves thread with atomom.</p>
<p>The reason one is wonderful is that another loves him.</p>
<p>My husband just uncomplainingly withstood an entire weekend of tenth reunion girls’ school high-and-squeaky gatherings. He was attacked with countless hugs from people he didn’t know. It was an overwhelming weekend for ME so I can’t even imagine how it was for him. “We’re nominating [Mr. Aibarr] for sainthood after this weekend,” my best friend’s mom quipped. I couldn’t agree more. </p>
<p>He does laundry when I’m so exhausted that I can’t bring myself to look at it (even though it’s my chore). </p>
<p>He adopted my kitties when we got married. One simply adores him and destroys his belongings as retribution whenever he leaves to go on a trip. The other yowls when he approaches and hisses when he picks her up, but he still gets down on his hands and knees to talk to her and pet her and brush her (she pretends to hate it) and play music for her and corral her (since she won’t let him pick her up) towards the wet cat food that he puts out for her daily. He does more out of love for that silly cat than any other man would consider doing.</p>
<p>He is an excellent, considerate, caring professor. He stood up for his belief that the students in his department deserved an excellent education. The students adored him (not a negative review in the bunch); two of the faculty were intimidated that they would need to step up their game to increase the quality of the education that they were providing. They played some political games and had the college decide to not renew his contract. Even though he lost his job, he did NOT lose his integrity. I’m immensely proud of him for doing the good, moral, right thing and not compromising his sterling values. He is a profoundly <em>good</em> man.</p>
<p>We’ve been together ten years next September, married three next January. I can’t say enough wonderful things about him to really do him justice. He is A to Z and everything in between, my warm and fuzzy, my calming hugs. Can’t wait to get to the point where we start a family.</p>
<p>What a nice discussion topic!</p>
<p>Over a year ago, my wife went back to school full-time, and yet she still manages our home as capably as she did before. Other than seeing her a little less (because she often leaves in the evening to study) and having less disposable income, I hardly notice the difference. She somehow manages to wash clothes, keep up with the kids’ school schedules, and keep large quantities of mildew from forming in the shower, all while getting A’s and B’s in the nursing program. Pretty darned impressive if you ask me.</p>
<p>Bullet is wonderful to me because of many reasons, but I would say it is because he always lets me feel as I am everything in the world to me. For example, before he leaves in the morning, no matter what he leaves a cup of coffee for me on the nightstand, it isn’t a biggie, but it is little things like that which makes me know I have the best husband by far.</p>
<p>I have plenty of peeves, but I really appreciate that my husband takes our son to school every morning at 7 am and makes him a nice hot breakfast as well. He also makes waffles every weekend.</p>
