[quote raptureready] And trust me, it could be worse. Mine is so insecure that he lashes out all the time with negative comments. Even though I know he doesn't really mean them they still hurt. I've been working so hard on making his grandson and great grandaughters quilts for Christmas and the other day he said that everything I make looks like s_ _ _! I know he didn't mean it but it still cut to the bone.[quote]
Raptureready: Your Dh is in serious need of therapy, he needs to get some self confidence so that he can be nicer. It worked for me, it was lots of hard work. My family tells me that I'm not the crabby,nasty witch I used to be. My therapist told me that my bad childhood(lots of abuse) caused me to act the way I did. |
Oh my goodness Raptureready, I'm so sorry that your husband would say such a thing. I agree that he may need some thereapy.

Isn't it wonderful to have a hubby that's a great "do-it-yourselfer"! Mine can literally fix anything! Electrical, mechanical, build anything.....
Which I thought was really fantastic!! Then one day I heard my youngest GD,(she was 8 at the time) overheard her telling my MIL that she "felt sorry for Grandma because she never gets anything new!" (lol...through the eyes of a child) |

I'll brag on my DH too, then have him read it...he'll grin from ear to ear,then ask why I talk to those strangers. LOL He's not into computers at all, couldn't turn one on,but he has the biggest heart.There's nothing he won't do or help with.He's retired & still finds ways to keep busy.he's our gardener,lawn upkeep guy,flower & tree planter.There's not much he can't fix & did just that today.
My sewing machine had a thread caught in the uptake arm. He took the head cover off, plucked it out & said all he wants is an ice cream sundae :-) You'd never know when he"s been inside.He takes care of his own stuff & always does any dishes he finds....when I'm gone.Being retired, he looks for work.I've came home to find windows washed or floors cleaned...whatever.He's one of a kind & I'm so glad he's mine. |
My DH is my enabler. He is so great! Supports my quilting "habit" (addiction;-) ). Encouraged me to get my first Bernina. When I said it would be easier to quilt if my machine was level with the table, he modified an old sewing machine cabinet, even installed a lift system so I can bring it up above cabinet top level when I embroider or use the free arm for sleeves, etc. Not too long ago he came home with 6 half yards of bright jewel toned fabrics cause he liked the colors and thought I needed some brights in my stash. AND he has taken a liking to vintage machines, so after lurking on the board soaking up all the pics and neat new tools I might need, he joined the board. Yep he is definitely a keeper!! Hurray for supportive hubbies!!!!!!...Oh, did I mention he cooks ??? :thumbup:

Does he have a brother, JustMe2???? LOL!

We do have some great hubbies! Mine is very supportive when I want to go and quilt. I can usually get a lot done when he is working on the weekends. He has even been patient when I have been in a quilt store roaming around, never says a word. :-)

He's one of a kind LOL
