उत्तर
Monsieur Loisel, Mathilde's husband, is a very supportive and loving husband. Not only does he listen to and fulfil her requests even when he can't, but he also stands by her in times of trouble. He doesn't blame her for losing the necklace. When he could have easily avoided helping her, he waits by her side and works hard to pay back for the necklace. He is an ideal partner, and Mathilde is lucky to have him.
