    I have seen a bunch of "should we divorce?" threads and ones questioning their relationships and I felt like we need one about people being happy about their SO/FI/DH.

    So, who out there is genuinely content with their other half? What have they done lately to make you only love them more?

    *raises hand*,  Happy as a clam! We are both really stressed with the wedding coming up soon, but he is being so supportive and understanding and has really stepped up to the plate to help me with stuff.

    He even cooked dinner the other night, which he NEVER does. Can't wait to be his Mrs.!

    Lol I think by now you all know but I have a really amazing FI.

    He just bought us a house to live in, he treats my dear Annabelle like she is his own, he always hugs and kisses me even when I'm being a crazy lady. He has my back 100% percent all the time.

    This weekend I was not feeling well so I sent him out to do a lot of my couponing. He said he felt like an idiot following my specific instructions but he did it because he knew how much it meant to me.

    We are very, very happy!! Just celebrated our 1st anniversary this past weekend and it was amazing. He surprised me with a trip to a beautiful bed & breakfast on the lake. We had an amazing time!! I do love him more and more each day. (OK, that sounds corny, but it is true!)   Great thread!!!! :)

    Good idea. I'm perfectly happy with my husband. He's out of work, yet wakes up with me every morning, packs lunch, makes breakfast, cleans the house, and makes dinner. Plus, he's studying all the time for the GREs. He's amazing. Plus, he loves gardening.

    I'll play!!  I am sorry others are having issues but it's good to hear good stories too!  I love the "comfort" I have with my FI.  Not like, we're lazy about each other kind of comfort.  It's the I can say anything and won't be judged/you get my sense of humor/I can gain 5 pounds and he won't mind.  My favorite thing as of late is we have been going to the gym together which has been fun and encouraging!

    @SoontobeMrsA: well, I wouldn't necessarily call the meal he made a "success" per say, but he tried, so I smiled and ate it anyways :) He was so proud of his grilled chicken and rice.

    Great idea!!! totally happy and can't wait to be the official wife on our big day!!!   Most recent thing he did for me - he bought me pads.  the right brand, with wings, all that.  which means he took the time to scour the aisle, swallowed his male pride, and got his lady what I needed, and a pack of midol.  One of the many things my man does that I love!

    I am engaged to an amazing man. Even though i have been going through some stressful times, and i dump all my emotions onto him (like none of my wedding plans are coming together like i want them to!), he still loves me and tells me that everyday. He is amazing.

    I love DH so, so much... he is the sweetest man ever.  Yesterday he was wandering around the house cleaning up stuff from camping, and I was cleaning too and he would randomly come over and hug and hold me and tell me he loves me... love it!

    We also have 11 weeks left of living together before he goes to a year of Navy training so we're trying to cherish every possible moment of being together.

    We're very happy.  I think it has to do with our house... he has his own space (basement) and I have mine (upstairs) so when we want to spend time together, it's just fun, and if we want to just be alone, that's always an option.

    This weekend, he was busting hump to dig bricks out of the backyard.  I stayed away because he was kind of grumpy and when I asked why he was rushing to get it all done on a Sunday, his answer was that he wanted me to have somewhere to plant my strawberries now that they're flowering.  *sigh* (I have them in little pots right now)

    I am totally, totally happy.  I cannot believe I am fortunate enough to be married to someone as wonderful as my husband.

    I don't really tell people how happy we are because it almost feels like showing off.  I don't want to make anyone want to vomit...but we are truly that happy.

    I'm in the happy camp! Don't get me wrong, we have our difficulties, but what relationship doesn't?

    Lately, I've been feeling down on myself, feeling "ugly" or icky or whatever. He's been randomly taking pictures of me, and when I sneer and say "ugh, why are you doing that" he just smiles and says "so I can look at your beautiful face all day"

    Ps. I especially love forehead kisses, and he's been giving me lots of those....

    Meee! I am soooo ready for these 53 more days to hurry up so I can marry the love of my life!! Right now, I am at work waiting for him to come visit me and my sweet kids for a couple of hours.  He's a teacher too (2nd grade...He's on spring break this week), but I teach preschool and I think its sweet that he wants to come "see the youngins" lol.  He's about to be blown away with my 16 three year olds...

    I love hearing all these great stories! My FI and I are so happy and in love. He's been amazing with wedding planning and has been taking point on a lot of the things I find overwhelming and difficult (i.e. he just booked us the most amazing venue!). He always looks out for me and has my back. We're both in grad school and are working like crazy to finish up the semester, but he still found time to buy fresh groceries and cook us a delicious meal last night. We also just finished our premarital counseling and are feeling more in love and at peace in our relationship. Today we're celebrating four months of blissful engagement, and I cannot WAIT to finally be married to him in just five short months!

    Well this is nice and upbeat!  I'll play since my FI is amazing.  Every day he does something to make me love him more.  Here are just a few recent things:

    I've had a rough stretch of 6 months...this is exactly how long we've been engaged to.  My only Aunt (my Mom's sister) was diagnosed with cancer, then passed away three months later.  Shortly after my Dad's Dad passed.  And then a month ago my Mom's Dad passed away.  Whew!  Anywhooo, my Mom's Mom lives an hour away from us.  So while my FI was making his sales rounds he called and said I'm about 15 min from your Grandmom call her and let her know I'll be stopping by to check on her.  FI made my Grandmom's day.  He could only stay for about 30 min, but they chatted away about my Grandpop and my Aunt.  Immediately after he left my Grandmom called my Mom to say how much she appreciated that.  He stops by whenever he is in the area now and they have a rootbeer together.

    And this past weekend he helped my boss and I out big time!  Our Easter Bunny backed out last min for our Easter Egg Hunt.  FI volunteered and did an amazing job.  I am not supposed to tell anyone but he had a blast.  My boss even sat on his lap for a great photo-op.  Afterwards FI hopped (hahaha) to his car and drove off to Boston for work.  One of his groomsmen told me, don't let me think for a min that FI will not make a great husband b/c only FI would fill in as the Easter Bunny.

    @Neva: HA! I soooo hear you on not wanting people to vomit. I have a few friends that are having some rough patches with their SO, and I just keep my mouth shut around them, because I don't want to be like "aw, sorry you're having a tought time, WE'RE FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!"

    See, I knew there were people out there still in love! this makes me feel better :)

    I forgot to add mine though lol. I LOVE my FI with every drop of my soul that I have. I cannot wait till I can see him again. He is willing to do anything to take care of our daughter and I. He loves me more than anyone ever could. He calls me every single chance he gets even if they make fun of him there for it. He makes the best steaks I have ever had. And when we are together he cooks be breakfast :)

    Me!  We are extremely happy together, and to be honest, always have been.  He is there for me no matter what, he lets me vent when I'm stressed about stupid things and always just hugs me and makes me feel better.  He really, truly is my rock.  We are very affectionate, this morning he told me that I snuggled him really good last night (and he really means snuggle...that's not a code word Smile)  I can't wait to call him my husband!

    Awesome idea for a thread!! This Sunday will be our 1.5 year anniversary, also hubs 29th birthday. We are going to an O's game to celebrate, and I am going to also pay for him to get his windows retinted on his car, and probably buy him some yummy dinner from Pickles after the game :)

    I can honestly say that our love has grown throughout the years. We have been together for 7 years, and i can't think of a time that I loved him any more than I do now.  Things are great!! Lots and lots of house projects to do - he is outside right now helping level out the concrete pad that just got poured an hour ago. He is so happy, he'll finally be able to work on cars out there and no longer use the gravel driveway!

    I'm happy-happy-happy!

    I've gotten some pretty bad responses concerning my SO (then ex-FI) on the boards, but I'm ecstatic to report that we've now reconciled, and are wayyyy beyond where we were relationship-wise only a few short months ago. Our whole problem was not communicating (which made little things become big problems), but we've worked through all that.. and, are continuing to.

    We're still living apart right now, but he made a surprise visit on Sunday, he's so affectionate, and he's openly admitted time-and-time-again that he was a huge douchenosle, and made some huge mistakes in our relationship. That being said, when he showed up unexpectedly on Sunday, and caught me in my pyjamas, he told me I was the most beautiful girl in the world.. plus, he brought me choclates. :)

    We (DD, and I) get to see him again on Thursday, and for the Easter weekend, and I'm so excited to see what he has in store..

    I am completely content with my SO. He's the best boyfriend I've ever had. He treats me like an angel and takes care of me. I appreciate everything that he does for me and I can't help but love him more and more each day. I just knew from the beginning that he was different than every other guy I've ever been with. 

    I can't even tell you how happy he makes me. He's the sweetest funniest guy ever. I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with him.

    @SoontobeMrsA:

    Can I ask what couponing is?

    ---

    We are such a happy couple.  We are on of those couples you hate when you seem them out in public when your single. You know.. One of 'those' couples.  We fit together like Lego blocks.

    Funny, we both felt that we were meant to be together and that it was just 'different' with us right from the start, but that doesn't mean it was always smooth sailing. We had some issues back at the beginning. I think what makes me appreciate him more and what makes me know this love is forever is that we worked through those issues and now we're stronger than ever with those insecurities behind us.

    *** Ooh Ooh Pick Me *** FI and I are happy as can be. He always treats my daughters as his own. He is so helpful with house work. the girls homework, running errands, all of it and I never hear a peep of complaining!

    And right now he is my biggest cheerleader with my weight loss journey! I've lost 8lbs in the past 3 weeks and he's the first to tell me where he thinks he can see the loss and tell me how amazing I am!

    DH and I are doing wonderfully!

    We went out and played both tennis and golf together in the beautiful sunshine this past weekend and he's been helping me inprove at golf.

    He also was really supportive last week when I found out I didn't get a job offer that I was really heart-set on.  And he continues to support me in my stressful job search so I can get away from my current position that brings me down.
