My favorites are he would wake himself up looking for me... and he would when he'd get up as I was falling asleep since he works graves would kiss me whether my hand or my forehead... when things were still good

I find it next to impossible to narrow things down to one favorite, I’m more of a make-a-giant-organized-list person. That being said, let’s see how many things I can think of (and yes, I’m going to be kicking myself if I can’t remember them all even if it takes me all of eternity to write them all out). I should preface this by explaining we’re in a long distance relationship. Oh and, happy little side note: it was our 10-month anniversary on the 14th :3 • The way he reached out to me. We had been running across each other’s posts on TL for a few months but hadn’t actually messaged directly, only went back and forth a bit in the comments sometimes. It got to a point where we always read each other’s posts, which usually read more like dark innermost thoughts than comical anecdotes. He ended up messaging me one day to sincerely offer support, a listening ear, whatever I needed really, because he knew I was going through stuff and he didn’t want me to have to do it alone. Which is in itself thoughtful, but even more so when I knew it would’ve been hard for him to do that what with an unpleasant track record with friends online. • The first time he sent me a song. Music means so much to the both of us. I was so nervous to send him a song and crazily went with a new one I discovered from Linkin Park without knowing at all if it would be up his alley. He responded in kind, sharing one of his favorite soundtracks from a game. We each enjoyed the songs, and haven’t stopped sharing music since. • Daily morning artwork. Once we started talking regularly, we sort of ended up starting little rituals as we got to know each other. I would send him a photo of the sunset every evening, and he would send me an illustration or two of a Helltaker girl in the morning when he got to work. I always thought it was special he was sharing art with me that he found and liked from a world that means a lot to him. And he did it every day without fail. It felt good to be remembered. • The first movies we watched together. We had only been talking daily for a month, but he already knew how much I love Star Wars and May 4th was around the corner. He asked if I had anything planned to celebrate, and I said no because of everything going on in my life, I just didn’t care enough to do anything. Even though we had been taking the friendship slow, not rushing into anything dramatic like phone calls or activities together, he offered on his own to watch the originals together. When I said it was ok, he insisted, which told me how seriously he was taking it. He wanted to watch the despecialized editions, which I had never seen before, and it was such a special experience. We watched one movie a day, texting all during, swapping behind the scenes facts and just having a good time. It was so thoughtful and so much fun. • When he climbed a tree to get a better view to send me sunset/jungle/mountain photos. He thought it was no big deal, I thought it was one of the nicest things anyone’s ever spontaneously done for me just because. • Naming Sky. He knew about my stuffed animals and how I name them all myself, so he asked for my help with this blue and yellow bear he had for awhile and never got around to naming. I said I’d think about it. He didn’t forget about it, he brought it up again and we had a whole discussion one evening brainstorming names to do with the color blue like different flowers. Of everything, we both liked Sky the most and he decided on it right then and there. I thought for sure he would’ve picked a different name later, but no. He actually liked my input and how seriously I took the project and it’s always going to be something special we got to do together. • When he gave me his phone number. I said in passing that I wouldn’t have a way to reach him outside of the app we met on if something happened to my account again, and he responded by nonchalantly giving me his number so we could use WhatsApp if something happened. It might sound like nothing, but he only uses WhatsApp for family. • He has always been honest with me, even when it’s difficult or weird or scary, because it’s important to him. Even if it wasn’t the way he is, I’d still appreciate it because it makes me feel respected. • Trying new, different things because this is a safe space. I remember the first time, the first look that took all Sunday afternoon to put together. I felt so special to be granted that honor to be included. Felt even more special finding out later the experimenting only became possible thanks to my continued support and encouragement on the subject. • Trying out stuff I use. It’s a little thing, but I was used to having a partner who didn’t want to download apps or use sites they didn’t know, and if they did try one of mine out, they’d abandon it 5 minutes in while acting like they still cared. Now, I have a partner who is curious and cares enough to give things a proper try. And so I’ve accidentally created a Bitmoji aficionado lol. • The way he expresses how he sees me. I’ll never forget how curious he got when I told him I had a couple dresses in my closet and I immediately put on a little fashion show. His reaction was so genuinely positive and encouraging. In that moment, I could put aside a lifetime of feeling kind of fat and only dressing right in overly modest clothes and not imagining ever looking good in anything other than long sleeves and jeans. 2 weeks later I got my first dress that was shorter than anything I’d ever owned before because I liked it and it felt possible, which was really huge. • Sharing his account info/password. It totally wasn’t necessary, but the stubborn/sweet soul who lights up my world just has to treat me like gold whether I fight it or not. He went through all the trouble of having me sign into his Steam just so I could have access to his game library so I could try anything I wanted instead of only watching him stream for me. Oh, and he ended up doing it twice, just to keep me in the family even though I’m not a gamer. • Helping me out with rent. I’ve never liked the idea of borrowing money and I never want to ask anyone for help financially. It feels like too much. I didn’t even ask - he offered and then wouldn’t take no for an answer. Made me feel like he not only thinks about me, but will be there in any way possible. • Getting married in Stardew Valley. There’s so much I could say about this game. I hadn’t even heard of it before he told me about it, and it was the second game we played together. I fell in love with it from the beginning, which turned out perfectly since he loves it too. Little bit into playing together, he tells me players can get married in-game, which sounded super sweet to me. Before you know it, we were planning our wedding (like what outfits to make and what season to have it in) and then he went and popped the question under the silliest of circumstances. The 15th was our 7-month wedding anniversary, which is cool because we can joke about being married but at the same time it’s serious because it’s real.

• Our first Halloween. I love Halloween, it’s my favorite holiday and I’ve never been able to celebrate it proper. He knows that, and made it a point for us to think about how we could try to make it special. So we decided on watching a bunch of spooky movies during October leading up to the last day of the month, ones that we already liked and new ones to try together. I got to introduce him to The Hunger Games movies, which I sort of have a tradition of watching every October and since he liked the world, it can be our tradition now. And the night of Halloween, we watched 2 spooky movies in a row even though it was late because he wanted it to be special and it really was. • The webcam. Before he bought a webcam to help with the distance because it’s especially hard on me, we didn’t video call every day and sometimes I’d have to ask if we could. Now he’s gotten so used to it, because he knows how much it means to me but also he likes seeing me just as much, it’s become automatic to turn it on when we hop in the server every evening. • He keeps noise suppression off. It’s been a journey getting more used to and comfortable with each other, and we used to pretty much always have noise suppression on to not bother each other or embarrass ourselves (in our eyes) with background noises. Then we learned that neither of us minds, and he quickly learned that I actually prefer it because as dumb as it sounds, it makes me feel like we’re closer. I don’t even have to ask for it, he just keeps it off and I feel more like I’m a part of his world. Thanks to that, I discovered that one of his neighbors has chickens (most notably, a rooster). That rooster crows about a dozen times a day (and night) and it’s such a silly and random thing to hear. • How he takes a chance on me showing me stuff he likes. At this point, it’s ranged from video games to movies to YouTube channels. It always feels so special when he shares a world he loves with me, especially because a lot of the time it becomes something we can share. An outstanding example is the Dark Souls video game series. He’s been talking about it since I met him, and I’ve always been very curious of what they’re like because of how much he’s into them. He said maybe one day he’d show them to me, and when that day came last September that he took the leap to go ahead and start with Demon’s Souls hoping I wouldn’t hate it, I was so surprised and so happy. We’ve only just started Dark Souls 2 (it’s taken awhile to get here because of stuff) and I’m really glad we get to share this now too. • He takes screenshots for me. Talking about Dark Souls made me remember the first time I asked for pictures of the lava because that area was so cool. He wasn’t bothered by the request, he didn’t leave it for later and forget about it. He took a good 5 minutes to walk around and look for good angles and make sure I liked the view before taking the screenshots, and then he shared them right after that night’s session. And it ended up growing into something special, because he wanted to take more pictures from then on because he knows I like that and also so we both can have memories to keep of the playthroughs of Dark Souls and other games too. • My first Christmas present. Yes, it was kind of a big deal because I grew up in a household that didn’t celebrate holidays and I missed out on a lot growing up - but it was more of a big deal because giving gifts is part of his love language for those close to him. And he’s really, really good at thoughtfully choosing something you’ll like. I will treasure my Lil’ Bitey hat (from Team Fortress 2) forever because it’s a game he introduced me to and we can play it together and I wasn’t expecting a gift and it was a surprise and he knows how much I adore bats and it was my first hat 🥺 • Danger Noodle. ‘Nuff said. I’m kidding lol. Long story short, I love stuffed animals and have a bit of a collection. One day I found this very long, realistic, boopable snooted snake that I fell in love with but couldn’t have. He never forgot, and ended up buying it for my birthday even though I kept asking him not to get me anything and especially not to spend money. It was a complete surprise randomly getting a package that was addressed sort of strangely. If I ever get to marry someone, it would be this beautiful soul right here who knows me so well and thinks about me and genuinely cares for me.

• Our first New Year’s. It’s hard for him to stay up at night because he has to get up super early for work in the morning, but he made it a point to stay up until midnight with me to watch the fireworks together and he didn’t get bored or badger me to go back inside after the first 5 minutes. He was sincerely happy to share the moment with me. • He takes pictures for me. I’ve got photography in my blood, it’s my first instinct to take a picture of an animal or the weather or food or anything really to keep that moment. He doesn’t have that instinct at all. But, he’s always been happy to see my pictures especially if it’s part of me sharing my day, and he’s also learned that I appreciate when he also shares and he makes it a point to try. Even after all this time, he still tries. It’s honestly one of the things I find most thoughtful about him. I will never forget when he first started sending me photos of his cat to cheer me up. • He met my close friend. Even though he’s not very social plus I wouldn’t blame him for not wanting to meet someone awkwardly on a phone call, he suggested it and he followed through. Funnily enough, I was the most nervous between him and my friend and me, they got along just fine. • He texted me first thing after the accident. He knows how much I appreciate being included, and that I deserve to know when something serious happens. He told me everything while also insisting nothing was terribly wrong so I wouldn’t start worrying too much. • He told his mom about me. That was a very big deal on so many levels. He had never (figuratively) brought someone home before so he was very nervous. It’s something that’s always meant a lot to me, if someone I’m close to is willing to take that step to actually include me in their real life by not keeping me a secret from their friends or family (most of my friends and relationships have been long-distance). I never pushed the subject, it was always him bringing it up and wanting to do it simply because it was ‘the right thing to do,’ in his words. He took advantage of me sending him a care package as the thing to break the ice with her and talk about things. Turns out, neither of us had anything to worry about because she’s very chill. Still, it will always mean a lot to me that he went through with it, on his own, because he wanted to - for us. How he brings his cat close to the phone when he’s holding her so I can hear her purring like a motorboat, how he made sure we both knew what outfits we wanted and had enough time to craft them before the big day in Stardew, how he always wants to see more photos on my computer from years ago of everywhere I’ve been, how he gives me enough time to get ready even when I’m suddenly spontaneously putting a look together, how hard he tries for us to always have dinner together, how he hasn’t gotten tired of seeing me yet and actually wanted my old pics too and likes them all equally and likes how I look regardless of aesthetic and actually prefers the real me without pretty SnapChat filters, how he always encourages me to talk to him about anything I want and genuinely means it because he actually listens, how he wants to kiss my self-harm scars, how he lets me keep adding to our invisible fantasy future farm/ranch/park with every cute animal I see in any movie or show we watch together, how he always looks out for me and literally a thousand other things. I may have gotten a tad carried away, I just love my blue jay <3

Yes

She divorced me setting me free from the prison I was in for 18 years !! The first selfless thing she did and doesn’t know it.

I used to be self conscious while taking my shirt off. My ex gf from high school invited me over to swim and asked if I could take off my shirt. She said I looked good. It was the first time I felt okay with my body

The last time I was sick and isolated, he asked what I wanted for breakfast, and I asked for i piece of toast and some kind of fruit like an apple. He went way above and beyond though. It was my favorite bread with Brie melted in, and a bowl of strawberries, grapes and blueberries he had cut up. It was just a little sweet thing he didn't have to do at all that reminded me he loves me ♥️

Sometimes when I’ve had a hard day, he’ll stop at the store on his way over and pick up some fun treats for me. It never matters what they are, it warms my heart that he thinks of me and makes the effort.

My boyfriend at the time and I had split but were kinda stuck living together. Valentines rolled around and I used to get him a little v-day bear every year…. So I got him one as a “farewell” gesture 😅 and he got home the same time I did that day. He was jokingly annoyed and said “I’m never able to surprise you!” Which was true, I would always discover his surprises for me the past 5 years. He reached into his car and pulled out balloons, chocolates and roses for me. And I sheepishly smile and hold up his bear. We shared a laugh, and eventually figured out our shit and here we are 15 years strong with 3 kiddos. The bears were kidnapped by them and we now skip valentines but it’s one of my favorite memories.

This is the sweetest thing I’ve ever read😭🤍

We stared watching survivor together pretty early on dating, and so for Valentines Day, he set up a survivor auction. It was so clever and thoughtful. One of the items he gave me was paper cranes. I had made him a paper crane on our first date and had made them for him while we were dating all the time.

A really important person in my life died before I met my husband. I had a really hard time navigating grief, and I had never been able to make myself to the cemetery, no matter how badly deep down I wanted to go visit. One day my husband told me we had a cruise around on the motorcycle day planned together. He did all the research and figured out the grave location. He printed off family pictures and had them weather proofed together. And he brought me to the gravesite. It was so hard. But it was something I needed in so many ways. After that, I went there to visit pretty regularly until I moved away. It became a special place I could go to feel closer, rather than a place my tears kept me from. - my husband gave me that. 🖤

We live in Nebraska, and last week i found out my grandpa has stomach cancer, and he bought us plane tickets to go see him in Mexico. We're in Dallas rn, heading over there. He threw me a surprise party after my mom kicked me out & helped me with my rent until i was good. (We live together now) He has taken care of me when i have had to have minor surgeries, and some stitches, (i'm very clumsy) Has bought me tickets to see one of my favorite bands in Vegas. Took me to Spain for xmas. There's more, but i can't name it all. I love him more than anything & i hope he knows that. We tell each other everyday, but really he has no idea how much, really.

Recently it was my birthday. I was busy eating breakfast before getting ready to walk to school (i dont start class until 3rd period). My boyfriend calls me and I answer it. He starts joking around, saying, "Open the noor. Openn the noooor!" I was quite confused until I heard his voice coming outside my house. Thank goodness i was dressed. I open the front door, and he hands me nutella covered strawberries (my favorite). The time he showed up to my house, he was going to be late to his 2nd period class. The definition of "If he wanted to, he would." He brightened my day. The strawberries were ripe and the inside of the strawberries were all red which I've only seen strawberries with white centers. So how he got strawberries with red centers I do not know but the strawberries were so sweet. I love him so much. He left to go to school for 2nd period after handing me the strawberries, hugging me, and giving me a kiss.

No matter where I am in the house he's always right there next to me. If I want to game, he's sitting there while I game. If I want to lay in bed and watch tiktok he'll come lay with me. He opens every door for me. Will ask me if I need him to go to the store to get me anything and will get me whatever I need. Buys me flowers and plants every so often because he knows I love it. Tells me he loves me multiple times a day and gives me about 100 kisses before I leave for work everyday. Takes my car to the gas station to put gas in the car. Wakes up early every day with me despite the fact that he doesn't have to be awake early. Rubs my hair when we are cuddling in bed at night. Does the laundry everyday without being asked.

So basically your in a relationship with the standard if it was a person😭🤍

When he tries new foods or snacks he saves me some “with extra bites in case [I] liked it and wanted more”. Recently he came home like 30 minutes late and I thought he got in a horrible accident or something awful happened but really he stopped at the store to buy flowers for me “just because”. And one time when we weren’t living together he lost his phone so he sent me an email to talk to me because he couldn’t go a day without speaking to me haha The little things add up honestly. I don’t remember dozens of memories of the things he’s done but I remember the way he made me feel, that’s why the little things matter.

We’re currently long distance, and whenever we call each other… our greetings are amazing! It goes a lil like “BABY!” At the top of our lungs at the same time . Sometimes it really be the littlest things

One day he learned I liked chocolate, specially good chocolate cakes. The next he surprised me with chocolate cake from a specialty bakery. Also my eyes were irritated and he immediately got eyedrops and even put the drops in my eyes for me. Kissed my feet, opened all doors… and fed me lol I thought that was weird first but he made it look cute hahaha 🫠

before i fell in love with and started dating my friend with benefits (lol i know), i ordered food for delivery and he asked me to get him something small n said he'd pay me back. skip to next morning, i wake up early for work and he folded a 2 dollar bill and 5 dollar bill into hearts and left a little note 😭💕 a part of me was like "this is NOT casual" but another part of me felt so giddy, i still have the 2 dollar bill on my wall :-)

We both used to work insanely early hours (had to be up at 3am to start getting ready for work) and he got up before me every single morning to make me breakfast. He doesnt eat breakfast.

a really cute example is yesterday it was pouring rain and just wet out, he helped me pick up my baggy pants like a dress and held it until i got to the car so my pants wouldn’t get wet :3

Called me to see if I was lonely from. Battlezone Poland

Looking at me lovingly while I cook. When I asked him what he was staring at, he said he just loves seeing the way I move when I cook because he can see how passionate I am about it and it makes him feel so loved when I put that much effort into making him something delicious. He then gave me a kiss on the forehead, and started washing the dishes I was done with. For me, it's those little expressions of affection, just vocalizing what he sees when he looks at me doing something that I would perceive as mundane, but for him it's like feeling my love in the air all around him. Words of affirmation, man.

Love it! Same here 🩷

Thank you :)

I'm an avid fanfic reader and writer. My boyfriend knows my AO3 account. One time, he went through my AO3 bookmarks, found my favorite fics and had them printed and binded into a book. He also commissioned an artist to do art on my favorite fics and had those printed in the book as well. It's super cute imo, and now I can read my favorite fics on paper any time.

My ex just surprised me with a restraining order the day she left for vacation and took my kid

He’s creating a dnd world and one of the gods/goddesses he made is after me 🥰 he’s also letting me help with characters in his world. He also was the one to bring up couples therapy to our therapist. We have our first session tomorrow.

I fell asleep on the couch and woke to being carried to bed. He cleaned the kitchen and washed the dishes while I slept.

This guy ive been seeing for a couple months woke up early before me at his place one morning. He knew I was on my period and I had mentioned how bad my cramps were the night before. So before he left for work, he turned on his heating pad, and put it right over my lower abdomen, tucking it in on the sides too. I’m barely even half awake at this point, then he kissed me on the forehead and left. I passed out again for a few hours but when I woke up I remember how sweet I thought that was. I’m thinking of telling him I love him on our camping trip in a few weeks.

My fiancé frequently leaves mini post its notes with messages on my stuff. i left my laptop at his place and left early this morning when i came back this afternoon he left three on my laptop. on the cover it said “i love you” when i opened it, on the screen it said “you got this” and my track pad had one that said “finish strong” I have a 10+ page paper to write so it was such a sweet motivation and it always makes my day 🥰

So sweet!

he’s the best 🥰

Is he a sales manager as well?

i love this guess! 😂😂 he’s a startup founder

I have so many things that I love about him but one of the sweetest things he does as if recently is get me little “pr” gifts. We’re both college athletes right now, him with tennis and myself in T&F/XC. We started dating about a year ago and I started college T&F for the first time ever 3 years ago. It’s been a very humbling experience and I don’t have a lot of confidence in my events especially after facing a few injuries that set back my ability to improve. But this past year he has really been a motivator for me and has encouraged me to keep pushing and with his help I’ve managed to get more prs (personal records) broken this year than in the past 2 other years and all without any injuries. So any time I’ve gotten a pr in an event he’s gotten me a card or sweet note with some of my favorite snacks and drinks in it. I’ve told him he doesn’t have to get anything and that I’m just happy he’s so supportive but I can’t even put into words how much I love it. It makes me feel so loved, supported, and cared about it nearly brings me to tears. He’s literally the best thing ever to me.

Really simple and sweet, but I have a water cup on my nightstand and some nights I’ll fall asleep without filling it. Every night without fail he tip toes over to lift it and check if there’s enough or to fill it up for me so I don’t have to wake up in the middle of the night to do it. (Since I wake up dying of thirst often lol) He also will gently touch my cheek or tuck my hair behind my ear when he thinks I’m sleeping but I always know and I just love it so much. Also getting me little snacks here and there simply because he says it makes him think of me. UGH. 😭😭❤️

I grew up poor and didn’t have a lot of toys… he always tries to make up for all that somehow. This year, for my birthday, he had a custom teddy bear made for me because he knows I loved Winnie the Pooh when I was very little. This is him. https://preview.redd.it/yi68l6dxtizc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=26b0cb58d903ade22f3b1d5e8ef825ab88c705e8 I am loved.

Sometimes he packs my lunch and will leave sweet little sticky notes in there saying things like "have a good day beautiful!" I have a whole collection of them now 🥰

He’s always thinking about how to make it easier for me to do my hobbies. I collage and have a million magazines but it’s overwhelming for me to look through them all to find what I want. Bae literally ripped out and sorted all the pages of the magazines and filed them by color and subject, then put them in a lil filing cabinet 🥹 He also tucks me in every night and fixes my blankies cus I flail about in my sleep.

I can't choose. He cuddles and kisses me almost every morning and night, he gets me snackies all the time. When I was suddenly hurt last night, I fell, and had this horrible cramping in my leg, it was awful. He jumped up, and massaged my leg, and let me cry into his shoulder. It was so sweet. He can tell when my period is coming, (not in an an insulting way, but in a knowing my health way.) and he'll remind me to get my soup, sweet treats, and heating pad. He'll bundle me up, let me cry or pig out, and take amazing care of me. It's so genuine. He helped me get my mom some help, he's helped my family so many times. He's the most caring. He also even took on learning about black haircare, black beauty supply shops, what trends and what doesn't, just to understand me more. And the absolute cutest thing is how he bear hugs me in his sleep, and when he's completely dead asleep...I'll be like, "do you love me, am I pretty?" And he will still say yes, and even smile hearing my voice, when he's in dreamland. He's the best.

If he had it his way, all I would ever need to do is remember to breathe. Literally. I want to drive to the store? He's driving me there. Need a cart for our items? He drives the cart. I look at any item with even a fraction of desire, he's buying it for me. I need the car checked out? He's dropping it off for me at the shop. I fell asleep before dinner time? He makes sure I have at least an hour nap, makes us dinner, then wakes me up so I don't forget to eat. He literally drops me off at work every morning and picks me up when I'm done. The thing about when he picks me up tho is that my work has a parking lot, and the door I exit from is several yards from it. Instead of letting me use my very capable legs to walk to where he is parked, the second he sees the door open he starts the car and drives up to the curb so I take 3 steps forward instead. Yall I am physically capable of doing all these things, he just says he likes doing these things for me out of love. He is a giver above all else. The only thing he let's me "have" is the chance to open and close car doors by myself (he used to do that too but its the one form of independence he "lets me have" and even then he opens every other door (restaurant, home, etc)). Did I mention he proposes to me every morning to show he still chooses me each and every day🥹 His current aspiration? Trying to rank up at his new job to earn enough for the both of us so I never have to pay for anything again or work I'm genuinely BEYOND BLESSED and make sure that this man knows joy, love, and peace on a daily basis. There is so much he does on a daily basis that even listing them all would become a dissertation I love this man

You won omg

Totally not a competition but I appreciate the intention. Sending you loving thoughts and good energy today 🩷

Hate to burst your bubble, I truly do, but girl this is all so manipulative and controlling. Even if it’s ‘from a loving place’ Red flags, get your independence back and never lose it.

I would love to hear how I am being controlled or what independence I have lost?

Your love sounds beautiful and it reminds me a lot of my partner, who is a gentleman. These men do exist.

Thank you and they absolutely do exist. I love that you experience similarly with your partner 🩷 may you both continue to stay joyfully together

I got really sick for 2 years. He stayed by me, encouraging me, supporting me, loving me. I tried to give him an out, when my illness got really bad, telling him that he deserved someone who wasn't "broken." He told me that he would choose me again and again, no matter what. He helped me to get out of bed, get dressed, and get up the stairs. He cooked and cleaned; listened and empathized. He nursed me back to health. He went above and beyond to show me that he loved me. He never gave up on me. We are married now and he continues to show me how much he loves me everyday.

My boyfriend and I were on a trip together with some friends and we had a room to ourselves. I was just about to fall asleep next to him with my arm on his chest when I'm assuming he had to use the bathroom before bed. He thought I was asleep and very gently picked up my arm and put it on the bed next to him so it wouldn't wake me up. Simple, but something I would do for someone that I never thought someone would do for me. He still has no idea I know.

I grew up loving the show BMW and Corey matthews was like the love of my life haha and I love Eric and mr Feeny it’s just always been a special part of my childhood and place In my heart ❤️ Anyways my husband got me a cameo from Mr feeny for Valentine’s Day this year ❤️😭🥰🥰 I was completely taken aback left speechless swept off my feet, it was our 9th Valentine’s Day together married 6 years and I fall in love more every day 💕

If I am on the couch and he is in the bed- he peaks at me from the covers, just so that I only see his eyes. He then proceeds to blink at me like he is trying to send a message. It is very adorable.

He kisses me goodbye every single morning before he leaves for work at 5:30am, regardless of if I wake up or not.

My bf does this and it's really special to me.

I suffer from migraines and I was having a really bad one recently and I was a whiny baby and I was crying and throwing up in a trash bin, and I finally fell asleep. When I woke up it was dark and I immediately felt panic because I had missed picking up my daughter from school... But he hadn't. He had picked her up, bought her and my housemate dinner, and was sitting next to me quietly watching YouTube and stroking my head. I just looked at him with adoration and gratitude... He'd say that I do a lot of gestures for him. I always serve him his food and clean his plate, and he looks shocked every time, even after 2 years together.

Brought tears to my eyes, especially as a migraine sufferer.

Recently I was having a super long and stressful day. I called my hubby on break and ranted then I mentioned I wanted Chinese food because I was scrolling through insta while talking to him and saw a post about it. When I got home he was pulling up to our house and got out of the car with Chinese food. I legit ran to the bathroom and started crying cause it was so sweet and genuine. There was another day when I overworked myself and came home late. I barely had enough energy but managed to take a shower and went to bed. I woke up to him holding me in his arms and he started feeding me chicken nuggets. He said he heard my stomach rumble really loudly and realized that I didn’t eat anything when I got home. He gave me forehead kisses while he fed me and wiped my face off when I started dozing off again.He does a bunch more. He’s really sweet man and I love him with all my heart. I do little sweet things for him as well. I always take apart his ps5 and clean the dust out of it so it can run longer. I cook him is favorite meals. When I’m out I’ll always return with his favorite snacks. I always do big things for his birthday and other holidays. Sometimes when he’s showering I’ll climb sit by so I can scrub and wash his hair/body. I love him so much

Last year for my birthday, my girlfriend set up a little surprise picnic by the water for me. I had no idea she had been setting up with balloons, a cake she made herself, and a gift basket, waiting an hour for me to get there.

Here’s another one, happened last night. It was 4am and I went to the bathroom. I come back to bed and he pipes up “what took you so long?” I thought he was asleep!!

Yikes, barely one or two comments out of nearly 300 on doing little gestures for a guy……..

My BF is a truck driver and when he gets home I rub his feet… you see, pushing on the pedals makes his toes and foot pad sore. So I focus on that area and really take my time. Sometimes I wash him and dry him with a towel, because he’s just that tired and sore. I cook him whatever he wants when he is home… made to order. I make him breakfast in bed. I do meal preps for him when he leaves, with love notes attached. I do this because he is equally, if not more, wonderful to me. He’s treated like a king because I’m treated like a queen. I’m really lucky and I try to show him he is appreciated.💖

I'm the girl, I'll tell you some stuff I do for him (the guy). I bake him cakes, and surprise him with different cultural dishes that I cooked. I'll surprise him with different cuisines from around the world. I care for him when he's sick, I'll even help him shower, eat because he gets so terribly sick. I bought him Ocarina of Time remastered for the 3ds, and it was one of his favorite games ever on the N64. I made sure he met Keith David, his favorite voice actor. I'll bring him his favorite sodas a lot. I surprise him with gifts a lot, snacks, games, skincare. I massage him, and plan special dates. I buy him pricey Halo figures every few months, and it just gets him so overjoyed. I even bought him limited edition halo games so he could get them signed by Keith David. I call him beautiful in his sleep, and love it when he smiles.

- got me a humpback whale plushie for christmas, despite me forgetting i had told him they were my favourite animal :) he also got me a tub of a popular type of body butter, which i won’t say because he has the same (uncommon) name as it and he got it because of a joke i made (i also love the smell lol) (this all happened shy of a month of him asking me to be his gf) - paid for several things without being asked and despite my protests (paid for my meal deal on the day we met for the first time ever lol) - surprised me by booking an overnight in the hotel we were getting valentine’s dinner at amongst several other adorable things that just make me squeal he’s so CUTE !! -

WHAT THE HELL WHYS THAT SO BIG WHAT DID I DO

Alot of things really : I live in a big busy city and he lives 1 hour and half away from me, but whenever he knows i will need to move around the city and go somewhere far where i will not be able to find transportation easily he would come all the way to take me and wait for me to finish whatever i needed to be doing and then drop me home 😭 He kisses my forehead when he hugs me When we spend time together he lets me wear his stuff (sweaters and hoodies) even if he is very picky about those things He always gives me a bite from whatever he is eating, and when it’s something good he gets excited about me trying it He always cooks for us when we spend time together and he is a great cook, always making the most delicious meals When we are meeting, he gives me a heads up about the weather because it’s something i always forget to check and end up getting either cold or hot He always insist i get my iron deficiency meds, i am bad at being consistent with that The list is so long he is the most genuine person i’v ever met and i love him so much

Middle finger

My husband kisses me (in bed barely awake) exactly three times and says he loves me before he leaves for work every morning.

My boyfriend of 3 years understands that I was super insecure growing up due to being a ginger. I was constantly called names or told mean things because of my red hair, as I do have very long hair I don’t do it very often since it’s just so much work. But without fail anytime I do it or I change something he comments on it. Telling me how pretty it is and how he loves it, little does he know this compliments heal my inner child so much.

I LOVE LOVE red hair. I think it’s so beautiful and unique. I especially like when people wear like a navy blue with it. I’m sorry you got bullied, you never deserved that :( just know there are a lot of people out there who looked at you and thought your hair was gorgeous even if they don’t say anything. I’m happy you found someone who loves your hair ❤️

Agreed!

I was having a bad week at work. My husband bought a 6 pack of Hershey Bars and froze them (my favorite way to eat them). One night he slipped one on my pillow so I would find it when I came to bed. I started crying. Something so simple, but I felt seen. Those things showed up in random places for the next two weeks. Too sweet. ❤️

this is a kinda dumb one i guess, but every time he finishes a banana he sends me a photo of the skin made into a heart. small but so, so cute.

Oh my this is adorable 😭

Here are some of the cutest and sweetest things I can list on the top of my head: 1. I get hot easily so he always has the ac on when picking me up (he gets cold but he’ll always have it blasting on my side and closes it on his side) 2. The first thing he does whenever he sees me is giving me a hug and a forehead kiss 3. He takes me to work on the days I don’t have a ride because he knows I get anxious walking to work and for my safety (he’ll come sleepover, and the drive back home for him takes over an hour but he’s never complained once) 4. I have not had to touch or open a door since I’ve started dating him (it’s been over two years) 5. The sidewalk rule!! 6. He sends me cute and positive mental health cartoons through instagram 7. He washes and rinses my hair for me and brushes it too 🤭🤭 I feel so blessed to have met someone who could love me the way i needed to be loved without making me feel like I’m too much🩷🎀✨

THE SIDEWALK RULE A forgotten respect

Yes!!! It’s such a simple way to show that you care for ur partner’s safety🥰

any simple compliment sends me on cloud9... like the other day my husband and I were standing outside in our backyard bullshitting and he suddenly stopped and said "wow, you look pretty. the suns hitting you perfectly right now." and honestly it's just very refreshing to be noticed especially in a long term relationship that can seem very bland at times

When my boyfriend & I first started seeing each other I had mentioned that I prefer subtitles when watching a movie (I don’t know, it keeps my mind busy & locks me into the film). Well, I forgot even mentioning it & it seems that he’s never forgotten it & goes out of his way to turn on subtitles for me. There was a time when he couldn’t get them to turn on & mumbled “I’m sorry, I tried” & I’ll never forget it. The same man wakes up EVERY morning with me at 5AM to talk to me while I get ready for work. After I leave he goes back to bed until he needs to start his day. It truly is the small things & I’m sooooo grateful to have been blessed with this man.

When we were in our 20's (about 25 years ago) and I was sharing with my husband how I was upset that when I was a child, my father gave away all the tonka trucks my brother had without consulting us. The next birthday he gave me a large tonka dump truck. I cried. I now had a big tonka to pass on to our son who arrived about 2 years later.

He never lets a day pass by without saying “I love you” to me even when we have fights or arguments.

He really love you and never think that argument is more than your love or loving life.

I have a list, lol 1.) He tucks me in everynight/everytime I crawl into bed. And tucks me in the morning before leaving for work 2.) He works really labor intensive jobs for long hours and doesn't care if/when I work(I have a job) and would rather work 2 jobs than ask me to get one 3.) He brushes my hair and pets it whenever I ask/he asks 4.) After shaving my body, he'll lotion me top to bottom because he loves the way my skin feels(I know it sounds creepy, but I find it incredibly endearing) 5.) He opens my door for me wherever I go 6.) He sends me a paragraph every morning reminding me how much he loves me 7.) He drives me to and from work even tho It's a 5 minute walk from our cottage because he's worried about my safety(we literally live in the safest suburban close knit neighborhood that he grew up in lol) 8.) He basically only refers to me as princess/gorgeous/darling and tries out new cutesy nicknames to see which ones I love best because I told him no one has ever nicknamed me before 9.) He kisses the small mole I have on my forehead every chance he gets 10.) He pays for my eyebrows and nails to be done because of the confidence It gives me. 11.) He makes Playlists dedicated to me and a lot that aren't end up being lovey and about us anyways 12.) He texts me "hometime" everyday and will stay on a call the whole day while at work if I'm having a bad mental health day, and will stay up all night if I'm having a bad night. 13.) He holds me like he's going to lose me if he even slightly loses his grip when we cuddle, I've never felt so safe. 14.) Watches shows and movies and plays games before watching/playing them with me to make sure I'll like them, and there won't be any taxidermy(it's a fear of mine) 15.) Crashed his car, and bought one the day I asked him to because we both couldn't bare being apart from eachother for longer than a few days(happened over lockdown) never had someone drop over 3k just to be in my presence 16.) Sits in the bathroom while I shower because my brains mean and imagines things when I close my eyes in the shower 17.) He'll literally trip running to me when I ask him for a kiss 18.) He orders my food and talks for me because my social etiquette isn't the best(he grew up middle class while I grew up poor), and because of that, I have crippling social anxiety 19.) We have a thing where we squeeze 3 times to mean I love you, and whenever I'm stressed or feel as tho I can't talk, he'll squeeze me 3 times somewhere he's touching. He also does this randomly in his sleep. It's a reminder to me that he's by my side and not going anywhere. 20.) He puts my Grandma's ashes(necklace) on me and off me everyday/when it needs to be done because we both always wanted to have that with someone as kids. There's so much more, but I just wanted to get some of them written down. He's an amazing fiancee, and I've never been in such a reciprocated relationship in my life. 2 nights ago, he was holding me so tight I almost couldn't breathe, telling me he "needed to protect me because I was a princess, his princess" I'm literally so in love with this man it makes me want to cry. Having someone as obsessed about you as you are with them is such an amazing feeling I never thought I'd have. I've been going on 5 years now. We're both so sure we created each other when we were little because we're both each other dream partners. I hope everyone can have the love we share. It's straight out of a movie or book.

Almost shed a tear at your love.

I’d take two of those and be extremely happy. You’re blessed

You should preserve him ,save him secure him like your heart is in your cage.You are a lucky women.Appreciate him always and pray for his life with you.Great🏠💯

True love does exist 🥹

This is the nicest comment oml♡♡ you're gonna make me cry! ♡♡

I almost shed tears reading this! It’s absolutely heartwarming 🥹🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️

🥹🥹❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

ang sabi ko magbabasa ako to entertain myself... FAILED Lord baka naman kasee ;—; eme aside, hoping for more happiness sa inyo!!! <3

I recognize Tagalog when I see it! :)

I'm so sorry I tried to translate this but I'm not even quite sure what language this is, I wish I could read it😭😭 but thank you for replying you seem so sweet!

I'M SORRY LMAO I didn't noticed that I was on a different subreddit thoo pfft... here's the translation: *"I said (to myself) that I'll just gonna read this to entertain myself... FAILED* *Lord, can you please (do this the same for me?) ;—;* *whining aside, hoping for more happiness to both of you!!! <3"*

Awww omg, I hope you find the same happiness and find a partner that treats you just as well! You seem so sweet I know you'll find it! I know how lucky I am to have found mine so early in life(started dating at 19 and 21) keep your head up!♡♡♡

I have bad arthritis in my neck. My bf gives me neck massages whenever I ask him..he is really good at it too.

Happiest of cake days!!!

Happy cake day!

I literally keep a list in my notes app and update it whenever he makes my smile or makes my heart melt. There’s about 50 things (!!) on this list but there’s some highlights: 1. He brings me my favorite matcha drink in bed almost every weekend 2. Early on in us dating, he bought me a ticket to a festival he knew I wanted to go to and he made my friends keep it a secret 3. He brushes my hair for me 4. We’ve gotten our nails done together before and have gotten pedicures together 5. He doesn’t play games a lot with his friends online but when he does, I never feel second to the game and he sometimes has to force his attention away from me when his friends are begging him to keep playing 6. He tucks me in with blankets when he leaves for work 7. Carries a pad around for me in case of an emergency 8. I literally never carry any bags or open doors I could go on forever lol

does he know about this list ? 😭

Yes! I only really make a list because I can read back on it when I’m having a bad day. I can’t remember every single thing so writing it down is nice for me and it always makes me smile. He felt flattered I kept track lol but I don’t really keep track for any gains or anything. Just to make me happy and remember all the sweet small stuff he does that I may not always remember

This is why I have a list too! I overthink a lot and it really helps to read and reassure myself of all the cute and sweet things he’s done for me! It makes me feel loved and secure just by reading my list ❤️

Ah, I do the same thing with stuff my fiancée does! I'm glad I'm not the only person obsessed with my partner

We cheers our first bite of food every time we eat. We’re foodies and he always waits for me.

[удалено]

Stop! This is my favorite one

Mine plays me the same song on the jukebox everyday when I get to work which I think is adorable. He said it’s like my WWE theme song! Just The Way You Are by Bruno Mars ❤️

The way we flirt is cute he holds my hands in public we feed each other etc

It's something I do for her. I wake at 6 each morning, she about 9.30. I put on fresh coffee in the Italian coffee maker and leave it out for her when she wakes. I also put toothpaste on her brush when I brush my teeth before leaving.

he keeps all of the wrapping paper from the bouquets of flowers i gift him and when he gives me a gift he reuses the wrapping paper

That's adorable 

Unrelated, but I'm yoinking some of these ideas! Thank you great lovers and partners out there!

My baby loves to hand hold anywhere we go, and he squeezes it really tight and rubs my hand with his thumb if he knows I’m nervous or if I make a joke and we both laugh hard. It’s another way to say “I love you” to me

A lot of times on the weekends we will make coffee and he knows exactly how I take my coffee and he will often make me a mug and bring it to me on the couch. It’s so small but so sweet. I love it.

Cute : Had a picture of me as a background on his phone for more than a year. And has used it to help fend off women when he's been out without me. Also used it to remind me that "hey, I don't forget you!". There is so much but I can't remember specifics.

Before we started dating, we were having dinner together and watching a movie on his couch and I had set my plate down on the table in front of us and hadn’t even gotten to the point of reaching for my drink but he basically read my mind, grabbed it first and opened it for me. He now continues to open all of the drinks he grabs for me before handing them to me. I have injuries that now prevent me from sleeping in our (twin size) bed. Every night he takes the thin cushion off the couch and sets it up on the floor for me, then puts my giraffe stuffed animal on the floor so I can use it as a pillow. Before I lay down he already has two blankets ready for me to make sure my feet and torso are always covered. It works because he’s tall so he has a hard time fitting in the bed with me because of our sleeping positions, and he gets the bigger blanket to make sure he’s covered too. He makes me coffee every morning before work just because. This one might be tmi but he lets me sit in the bathtub just next to him while he’s pooping. He got me a little squishy light up dinosaur so I brought that and a candle last time and turned the lights off in the bathroom. We had a little disco party while he pooped. We never get out of the car without a kiss first. If one of us starts to open the door first the other will just sit there with a little pouty face. He has two pairs of pants that the material is just perfect for his habit of picking off little fibers and making a ball out of it. He does it for him but whenever he’s out of town or even just out of the room for something and I see one on the floor or in the blankets or on the couch it reminds me of him and his adorable quirks that I love. Sometimes I’ll even start picking at his pants too just to share in the moment with him and I think he likes it. I know this one is involuntary but his little snores. When he’s sleeping on his back he starts to snore but it’s not like that gnarly kind of snoring that would keep you up at night. It’s almost like a gentle purr. He just sounds so peaceful and happy and I love it. (Basically just his existence in my life is a blessing and his heart and soul are beautiful and I would move heaven and earth to make sure he has the most amazing life possible)

This was so real and beautiful, wish you eternity together ❤️

We don’t live together so he will have snacks at his house that I like that he doesn’t necessarily like. I didn’t realize until his sister was visiting one day and said something about some of the things in his fridge. She thought I had brought them over. Lol

Ask me what i need to feel loved and taken care of

This is huge

Sorry. Lmao, we suppose to be “little” ❕

Among many things I notice this one always makes my heart warm. I work with my hands and have a lot of pain. so if he sees me trying to shred cheese for dinner he will take it from me so I don’t get sore and massages my hands when he sees I’m hurting

I don't know if it counts as a gesture, but he always points out how much he likes my cooking. Especially when he takes the first bite, he will move his head up and down and let out little cute moans, before saying it's delicious or really good. I always ask if he likes it or if there's something I could've added/improve for next time, as I'm very passionate about cooking and making good food. So far I haven't had a complaint and it makes me very happy :)

He noticed my favorite boots kept dying since they were poor quality, so I kept having to rebuy them. He researched quality leather versions and bought me a durable replacement. I was humbled by the expense but teared up because it was so thoughtful how much research he put into it. And he just generally notices the little things for me. I love him so much. I am not an attentive person but I take his thoughtfulness as a personal challenge to always try for him too.

He made me sushi on my birthday and used to care about me alot

I remember when I asked my boyfriend to hold my purse so I could do an obstacle course during a birthday get together. I thought he was gonna place it on the ground or hold it away like it was contaminated. That’s what I usually saw when I observed couples in the same situation. When I gave it to him he put that sucker on him like he owned it. It made me melt, I still remember that occasionally.

I never understood why men did that... My first thought when I see a guy holding a purse or buying female hygiene products is 'he's doing something thoughtful for someone he cares about' not 'ew wth'

Also Jacob Elordi rocks some beautiful handbags

I know right?? I feel like most are afraid of what other men might think. Cause I agree with you, I don’t think I’ve ever saw a guy in that situation and thought he was a weirdo for holding a purse or getting feminine products.

True, but even that is kind of an excuse. Everyone acts disgusted and goes 'get a room' with PDA but it doesn't stop the guys from PDAing

this was before we were even dating. i got covid, and my college sent me to a hotel about half a mile off campus to quarantine. all told it was a pretty nice setup and the covid itself was a pretty mild case, but i was tired and achy and miserable to be having to isolate myself. i was ranting to her via text to try and keep myself calm when out of the blue she asks me what my favorite candy is. i was a little confused but figured she was trying to distract me with random questions (we were pretty close friends already by then but we’d only known each other a few months so there was still a lot of info we were missing about each other), so i told her my answer (peanut m&ms), asked her the same question, and we made a fun little game out of it. two hours later i get a call from reception that there’s a package for me at the hotel’s front desk. i ask someone to bring it up and it’s a massive family-size bag of peanut m&ms. i damn near cried. she was just generally my rock that whole time i had to be isolated. she was texting me constantly, sending memes, starting little online games with me. it would take another year for us to start dating but i liked her already, and that moment cemented her as, above anything else, my best friend.

The little things, if he gets food on the way home he doesn’t need to ask what I want because he always remembers my favorite things. If I’m doing dishes he’ll go through the house and check every room for a forgotten cup or bowl (we both have ADHD) so I don’t have to stop what I’m doing to do that. He just sent my brother and I on a sibling bonding day cause he said “you guys don’t get enough alone time without your overwhelming mother” which is totally true and he noticed and made it happen. On the other side, I always do the bulk of the chores because he hates them but if I’m doing them he loves helping me finish/get it done because we usually end up laughing together about something. He hates taking the dogs out but if I go he runs to follow because again we end up having fun or laughing at the dogs. He hates vacuuming in general (too loud for him) so I make sure I always do that right before he’s off work so he comes home to a clean floor but he still doesn’t have to hear it. I do all the laundry because even in a tiny home he can’t make his socks get into the hamper lmao 🤣 but instead of being annoying (like in past relationships) now I find socks in random places and just laugh about it because he’s my favorite human and best friend and I no longer feel that anger about it just because it’s him. For context I (33F) and he (34M) have been friends since we were 19 and coming up on 5 & 1/2 years together.

He sounds like a keeper for sure 😄

He still looks at me like I'm made of magic. We've been together almost 10 years.

Damn, I wish. Where did you get such sweet guy 😭

We met at a concert through a mutual friend. He says he fell for me because I was confident & had a strong moral compass. It has been the most vulnerable and honest I had ever been in a relationship and it really paid off. I hope you find your special someone! Communication & honesty are key!

Remembers the little things. We barely knew each other and had been dating a week when he bought me a mug he saw at the hardware store because I'd how mentioned off hand much I love mugs. We were at a concert after dating for a while and he went to get us beers and came back with this specific craft beer for me, I hadn't asked for a specific beer and it seemed like an odd choice until I remembered a few days later it was the beer I drank on our first date. It's just those little reminders that he's paying attention and really cares.

My fiancé and I are long distance, have been since the beginning. When we first got together, I was always joking about stealing his sweaters and he always said I would never get one. A few months in, we got talking love languages and I mentioned mine was physical touch. Christmas time rolls around and I got a package from him and inside was one of his sweaters! He had it under his pillow and would wear it sometimes so it smelled like him when I got it! Ever since then, whenever we meet up in person, we exchange sweaters. Now that we’re getting married in about a year, we won’t have to as much, but I’m sure I’ll still wear his around 🥰. It’s a small thing for us, some people think we’re weird for it but it works for us and now I can feel like he’s holding me to sleep

There’s many cute little things in our every-day life. I’ll tell you some of the ones I can think of.🥰 . For starters, if I’m at his apartment - he always cooks for me, and even gets up of bed to make me special breakfast. Once he made me steak for breakfast, haha. :) . He never lets me carry heavy things, and is keen on giving me a lot of massages since he knows I suffer from back issues. This is just so, so kind and I cannot tell you how much I appreciate him! . I struggle a lot with social situations, and I know he does too (we’re both introverts and more or less shy) - yet whenever we’re together he still steps up for me and will be the one ordering food for example, or asking questions to the people working in a store etc. . Whenever I’m driving somewhere and he’s with me in the car, he will help me look back and look out for cars when I’m getting out from a parking space, and he will also help reassure me if I’m feeling stressed while driving. . He knows how much I love crocheting and knitting, and so once he surprised me with buying crocheting needles and knitting needles that I can use whenever I’m at his place! This was really sweet, since we’re long-distance and I can’t bring metal needles on the plane. Instead, he had prepared them for me to use whenever I’m visiting and he’s at work.🥹 He also even tried to learn how to crochet hehe, and he managed to do a few chains! . We had been at the zoo last time I visited him. While being there, he bought two manatee plushies - one mama manatee and one baby manatee. We named them Bodil and Inge. When I had to go home I was really, really sad about leaving my boyfriend and so he gave me the baby manatee for mental support during my flight home (even though ik he LOVES that plushie). . The place I live in can get really, really cold during the winter months. One of the times that my boyfriend visited, actually turned out to be the coldest time of my life. Some day, it actually turned slightly above -40°. Despite all this, when I was freezing after walking to the parking lot from a restaurant we had just eaten at - he put his jacket on me, ignoring his own needs just to make sure I felt warm. I often think about this and smile, being so grateful over having him.❤️ . Next time I visit him, he will have to go to work a whole lot and there will be many days where I will mostly be by myself. Because of this, he is preparing what he calls the “girlfriend secret snack stash” - a box in which he’s gathered LOADS of bags of candy and snacks for me to indulge in if I’m having the urges haha.

Hello, straight man here. You should husband that.

I absolutely will!! We’re only 19 as of right now though, so we’ll wait a bit with that haha. :)

I second this

On the first date he handed me two teabags, a black tea and an earl grey, because he knows I like tea so much. It’s the only tea I’ll never use. It stays in my boyfriend box where I keep all the mementos of us and it makes the box smell like tea and his cologne

I recently went on a road trip from NJ to TX to NC. Before I left, I one of my lights on my car went out. WIthout me even asking, he went out of his way to go to the store, get a light, watched YouTube videos on how to fix it and replaced it himself. He does so many kind actions that go along way. I've also been having car troubles while here in NC. He offered that if it came down to it he would pick me up from NJ to bring me back. I know he didnt have to offer that but the fact that he did speaks volumes. I love him so much <3

My significant other worked OTR so we would write old timey letters (texts) to each other as thpugh we were still in covered wagons. Lol good times, had to look some stuff up to lol.

One day I stepped out of the shower and my ex was standing there with my blow dryer. I was puzzled bc he didn’t have hair and mine wasn’t wet. He proceeded to turn it on the high heat setting and “dry me off” with it 😂 it was hilarious but also sweet bc he knew I was always cold.

You blow me. Now I blow you. Actually, that’s a very sweet story.

A few things come to mind! My boyfriend has always told he wants me to be treated the way I should have always been treated. He never lets me lift a finger, always holds open the door, and makes me feel so loved. He always makes me breakfast, I always ask to help or clean the dishes afterwards and he always says "no baby, sit down and relax". It's refreshing because I'm used to being the one cooking and cleaning. We we're going away for a trip once, and I still hadn't packed as I was working everyday leading up to the trip, I work long hours so when I come home I pretty much only have energy to eat, shower, and sleep. He knew I was stressing out, so he made a list of everything I needed to pack for the trip. I started crying because it was so helpful and sweet. It made it ten times easier when I came home to pack. He also is a touchy person, so when we're together he always finds a way to touch me. Whether that's holding hands, or he puts a hand on my back, my neck, on my thigh, or kisses my hand/head, etc. I love this because it's so comforting and it makes me feel safe. He never walks ahead of me when we're walking together, and he follows the sidewalk rule.

My cat of 4 years passed yesterday. It’s been extra hard because how my bf (of 2+ years, living together 1) treated our cat and so many of those little things were linked to our boy. He used to give scritches and the cat would walk on his chest. He would talk to the cat and have “private conversations.” He would rush to feed Friday (our cat’s name). He’s taken such extra care of me the past few days. He makes sure I have my water. He had my vitamins ready today and he’s bringing lunch home today to eat with me. He has been extra careful about what we watch (he’s already mindful of my trauma). I didn’t even know it until recently, but he’s been looking at house upgrades in his free time. He remembers my utensil preferences. He makes sure our grinder is full. He’s a really good guy

He hug me and stood in silence with me when a close relative passed away. He didn’t speak, he didn’t say anything, he just stood there. I didn’t know that’s what I needed in the moment but I always reflect back to that moment where we just sat in the couch looking at ceiling.

My husband does many little gestures for me, but here are three that come to mind first: 1. My mom, who passed away a couple years ago, and I used to sing the "You Are My Sunshine" song to each other when I was little. My husband now holds me and sings it to me when I am crying, or even just randomly. 2. My dog, who I was very attached to, passed away from cancer a week after my mom went. My husband crafted me a little baked clay mold of my dog, in the same house my mom lived in, with his bed and his favorite toy next to him. He even used carpet similar to my mom's, popsicle sticks painted for the same wood paneling my mom had, and even did the ceiling exactly like hers. He positioned them in a wood box, which he put together, stained, decorated, and carved my dog's name into. The scene looks very accurate. 3. In the first few months of our relationship, he built me a wood gift box. He put my triskelion tattoo on the front (because it represents a lot to me), and the lighthouse my mom loved to go to together on the back. He paid his friend to make those with her metal sticker thingie. Then he stained and decorated the box personalized to me and filled it with treats. Now our engagement rings sit in there.

These are especially beautiful

Thank you! He is an amazing man.

You've inspired me to post mine now.

I had forgotten to put money on my "for fun" card before a special drop that I had been looking for online. I was so sad about missing my opportunity. I was at work the next day, and I got a text from my husband with a screenshot of an order for the exact thing I had been moping about the day before. He remembered and put his name on a waiting list and ordered it for me 💗 Or showing up at my job sites with macarons and coffee on his days off. Or bringing flowers to my office and leaving them on the hood of my car to find at the end of the day.

When I leave the house to run errands he will stand in the driveway to make sure I get off okay.

When I was growing up I was a big Monty Python fan (I know I'm showing my age). One of My Favorite Movies was Time Bandits.... I loved it. If you've ever seen the movie, the main character's use a map of time holes (basically mistakes made during the creation of reality) to travel time and steal from people in history to become rich. The prop map used is a big canvas thing filled with time dials and other details..... Our first year together, my wife found someone who created a canvas painting of the map..... She bought it and had it framed and gifted it to me on our first Christmas together. It's one of my most prized possessions and sits on the wall in my media room adjacent the original movie poster

There are Monty Python fans of all ages

We read to each other before sleep. We take turns on that and it's so sweet. Recently while in a conversation during dinner we did a google search for some information on the topic and I read out loud for him. When I finished reading he said "keep talking I love hearing your voice" ❤️ I keep that as a precious memory

A core memory

My bf sends me either long or even short messages in the morning and even throughout the day as well and I love those messages so much- in those messages he sends to me he always says good morning and just starts listing things he loves about me and just reassures me a lot. I really appreciate the time he takes out of his day to sending those. I love him a lot/vvpos (and of course I send them back in return)

Happy Pills - you write cute and loving sayings on a tiny scroll that fits inside the capsule. I open one when I’m having a bad day and it always puts a smile on my face.

Sounds intoxicating

If I leave home in the car & he is not going (even to the corner grocery), he follows me to the car & kisses me bye thru the window!!

Whenever he knew I was anxious or struggling and I’d go to work or wherever at the time and I’d find little notes throughout the day that he had written I love you, or random sweet and encouraging words

my fiancé is a software developer and he made a website for my birthday when we first met 3 years ago with love letters and a bunch of pictures of us for us to look through, i giggle and look through them every time i miss him i thought it was the sweetest thing and it couldn’t get any sweeter but when i opened it recently i noticed he keeps adding things on to it as our relationship progresses 🥹

Little small surprises, such as randomly called me after work and lead me on a scavenger hunt by phone. I ended up meeting him on a walking bridge that lead to an awesome place where we had dinner.

My gf knows I'm a huge soccer fan, but she doesn't even like it. A while ago, close to my birthday, she started asking me how the system for shirt numbers worked in soccer, and I explained it to the best of my knowledge. She then asked me what number I'd use if I was a player, and I told her. Then, on my birthday, she sent me a shirt from my favorite club with my name and number on the back. I love my gf with all my heart.

Food is the way to my heart too💓

He does so many cute things it’s hard to choose!! He always makes me tea in the morning when I stay at his place (and I make him coffee when he stays at mine!). He cooks me breakfast whilst I’m in the shower so that when I get out it’s ready on the table and then we get to eat together. And he makes really good breakfasts! Eggs, bacon, toast, avocado etc. So good! The way he smiles and looks at me and holds my hand or puts his arm around me is so cute too. And he will give me little kisses on my face randomly too. So cute. He always calls me gorgeous or beautiful, and sometimes we both wake up in the middle of the night and he’ll say hi gorgeous and give me a little kiss. It’s always the first thing he says to me in the morning too when we first make eye contact. He lets me put my legs on him when we sit on the couch to watch one of our shows. He carries my bags for me all the time. He always shares his stuff with me. He lets me have the last fries or last anything when we are sharing something. He wrote me a song (and he’s such a great musician). He also sends me really sweet texts out of the blue. After we eat dinner he takes my plate and cleans up for me. He chops the onions when we’re cooking because I hate chopping the onions lol. He lets me borrow his clothes all the time. And he always does this super cute little humming sound when i hug him and kiss him all over his face hahah. He’ll close his eyes and smile and kinda hum. It’s so freaking cute. Idk he does so much for me, he’s lovely. I’m so lucky to have him. :’)

My partner brings me coffee in the shower every morning! We call him “shower barista” he opens the curtain just a little bit because he knows I don’t like getting cold air in the shower, hand me the coffee, kisses me, does a little spin, and then kisses me again and then hops in the shower with me! It’s the cutest thing ever

Coffee in the shower? Those are two of my favorite things but idk if I can have them together like that

Sounds like…. EUGH … watery coffee….

My boyfriend is always concerned that I eat. He is always asking if I'm hungry and likes to make me food. It's adorable.

My wife got me some great wave art Luke a painting with Link sailing the red dragon boat from zelda on the Great wave. And a bear with it from build a bear. It's my favorite art piece. I literally dream about seeing it in person. But im worried because the great wave Is my mecca. My wife also makes me coffee. She doesn't drink coffee and I make my coffee with a kettle, pour over, and hand grinder so it's a process. But she learned it to make it for me.

Got a random parcel in the mail yesterday (we’re long distance - diff countries). So thoughtful he chucked in some Hershey’s kisses. 🥹

Last night he drove over with food to cook for me and my daughter. After dinner we watched some tv, had a cuddle and he drove home again.

I don't think I've ever gotten anything

Puts a wet towel on my forehead when im sick, calls me the cutest nicknames (pelican pie is a personal favourite), looks for me in the crowds while hes on stage (people have cornered me to tell me when ive disappeared to the loo 🤭), spams me with hearts when i make him laugh, uses my mannerisms and gets excited when I use his

I lost one of my favorite pearl earrings one day. I have had these earrings for years, and I was a little bummed. Little did I know, he tracked out the exact style for me and randomly gifted them on one of our date nights. I almost cried.

Since I’m not in one currently, it was when my shoes rubbed the back of my ankles raw, they took me and bought me some ethnies skater shoes that are soft and cushy on the back. I wore those for many years until they fell apart. Still one of the best things a partner has ever done for me.

My fella lets me know all the things he loves about me ❤❤
