I’m so grateful for my amazing husband! via /r/gratitude

My (I'm 45 f) husband (45 m) is the best husband I could have asked for! This is coming from someone who kissed a lot of toads to find this prince, so I know what bad partners were like, but before him, I never knew what a good partner was like.

I'm not trying to brag, but after 10 years, my husband still treats me like a valued human being, and I'm continually amazed.

He brings me coffee in bed in the mornings, every morning. He makes sure I always have flowers in the house. He listens to me, and offers good advice and practical solutions to problems.

He kisses and hugs me every day. He helps do the dishes, other household chores, and helps clean the litter box. He remembers little things I say I like, and gets them for me for holidays/my birthday. Just tiny things, like he knows I love crows, so he got me a stuffed animal crow one year. We're not well off, but those small gestures mean a lot.

When we have a disagreement, he doesn't just fight with me, he listens and we try to come to some sort of understanding together. He rarely yells, but if he does, it's into the ether and not at me. 🙂

He's so good with our cat children, plays with them, pets them, and brings them to the vet with me.

He always has my back when my in-laws get a little mean.

He tells me when I'm mistaken, which I appreciate, so I don't spread incorrect information. When he's wrong, he actually admits it!

He plays video games responsibly, a couple of hours a night, which is great because I get to watch my shows or read while he does them. If I knock on his door while he's playing (which I try not to do often), he takes his headphones off and asks what I need, and is never grumpy about it.

He lets me play D&D with him and never gets upset if I forget my powers or other important information.

We're both human, and we've had our problems, but compared to anyone I've ever dated, he's the kindest, most loving, and giving person I've ever met, and I just had to say so in detail after 10 lovely years. All I can do is try my best to treat him just as kindly and lovingly as he treats me.

I guess I just wanted to say, don't settle for someone who doesn't treat you kindly. It's so worth it to wait for a good one.

TL;DR, My husband of 10 years treats me wonderfully and I am so grateful for him.
