My husband has never worked out or eaten very healthy. He's 33. We decided to get healthier and he's actually doing it! He started working out, eating better and is trying to boost his motabolism by eating breakfast. I'm so so proud of him and I want to encourage him in every way. He just sent me an email from work to let me know that he ate breakfast, lol So cute! What things has your SO done lately that had you cheerleading?
Sorry, today I can't think of one single redeeming quality of his.
Seeth.
Ask me again tomorrow.

Mine, after being out of work for 3 years and not being sure what he was going to do next, finally decided to get the schooling and training he needs to get his commercial driver's license and hopefully find work as a truck driver. He's got 2 more weeks to go and is doing really well. He may also have job already waiting for him with one company if he gets through their orientation and training routine! Really hoping this finally works out!
Good for him!
~My Husband recently got a big raise, so recently we haven't even seen it yet, it will be on his next paycheck (yippie) and that was great...however... I was *really* proud of him because he not only got himself a raise but he lobbied and got all his underlings (?His team?) raises as well! Good job honey-bunny!
Aww good for him!! Keep him motivated and be supportive!
My husband hasn't spoken to me in... 20 minutes. Good for him! He's being a butt head, and I'm eating candy, so I still feel like I'm winning, LOL!!
This is a little of topic, but my son told me he was ready for nap time without me having to tell him... that's a mini success!! :)
That is very cute, and congratulations to both of you.
My husband got an e-mail last week, it was send from his boss but it was a chain.
A student (that he didn't know was important to the company he works) send an e-mail to the boss of his boss, so this guy send a e-mail to my husband's boss telling him he was happy with my husband work, an attached the copy of the original mail, so his boss send my husband a mail congratulating him and sending him both, the original and the boss of his boss mail.
I just wanted to send them all a mail saying: Yeah, I know!
Ditto Theresa N. below.
Oh wait, well last night my Husband put away the dishes.
Which is a common as a Hailey's comet.
He washes the clothes, buys the food, picks up after himself, launders and irons his own work shirts and picks me up and drops me off at work which is all priceless. He is also on the hunt for a new job but still takes the time to be domestic and chaufer me around. Yes I am blessed to have him and he is blessed to have me.
My husband does a lot, but the most recent thing was:
I came home from a trip last night and he had ripped off the ugly 70's style floor-to-ceiling mirror in out foyer and had replaced it with WAINSCOTING!!!
It's not painted yet but, still, it looks incredible. AND he had made dinner for my daughter (his SD) and baked some apple tarts.
Is it TMI if I say that my husband is hot? ; )
CONGRATULATIONS ! ! !
My wife and I are both working to improve our health and are putting more and more fresh vegetables (low calories) in to our diet and cutting down on the processed foods (Too much salt in processed foods. Bad for our blood pressure.)
To the women that have negative comments to say about their husbands . . . sorry about that, but if you aren't part of the solution, you are part of the problem.
IF you are having a problem getting your husband to do something you want him to do, are you not doing something your husband wants you to do? Too many marriages are struck in the tit for tat mentality. If you spend all your time trying to get even, how can you expect to ever get ahead?
When I taught a Marriage and Family class, I used to tell the men in the class that if they brought flowers home to their wife and if her first statement is "What did you do?", then its been too long since you brought home flowers for your wife.
For those wives that are unhappy with their husbands, Watch the movie, "Fireproof" and get the book, "The Love Dare". Follow the instructions in the book. Read the book, "The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands." Then give the book to your husband to read. You will learn a lot about your husband and he will learn a lot about you.
Good luck to you and yours.
I got a new job (about 6 mos ago) that increased by commute time by about 1/2 hour each way. Hubby has really stepped up to the plate with your GD. He picks her up every day so I can come straight home; he does some of the dinner prep so it's easier on me; he takes his turn at the dishes; and he helps with homework (if he can).
Yes, my hubby has stepped up and I feel so lucky all the time to have him! And I agree with 8kidsdad - you'll never win with the tit for tat attitude. Forget what he hasn't done - do something nice for your hubby and I bet he will "pay it forward"!
My hubby is a HUGE help and a sole provider. I am proud of him for sure. He started biking and getting into shape..... it has been years since he has. I am proud of him. I guess I need to really tell him more .
On Saturday, I took three screaming kids to Walmart while he slept. When I got home, he had gotten up and installed this awesome magnetic childlock thing on our pantry cupboard so that the 1 yo would quit sneaking fruit snacks and oatmeal pies into our bed every five minutes, Lol!
It's not a lot, but around here, I for sure take what I can get!!!
Did miss something with remarks about tit for tat attitude? I don't understand...
I'm happy for both of you. It's a process, isn't it! We all struggle to change things that we let slide or don't like about our lifestyles, from what we eat, to how we do or don't exercise. I think your husband rocks!
I know this doesn't answer your actual question, but I can tell that my SO has nothing to do with you being proud of your husband. So just know that I think you two are doing great. Don't pay attention to the rest.
