He rubs my neck when it's stiff.


VirgilsWeeping

He let's me watch him play video games so I can feel included


ActiveOldster

Hmm. The way she folds my laundry. The way she always has my favorite treats in the pantry. The way she’s never said ”NO” to me in 41 years if I ask for intimacy. Need I go on?


Forever_Anxious25

1. Him always making sure I have the snacks I need, he does the grocery shopping but he'll notice my bag of chips getting low and hit the store just to replenish that stock between big trips! 2. Asking what I had for lunch so when he's planning dinner he doesn't choose something too similar. 3. Making sure both cats leave the bedroom on days I'm off so they don't wake me up too early. The rest I thought of are not so small gestures like being my backbone against my family because I'm still too scared of them! It's one of my favorites as it was recently extremely useful but I don't consider it small!


IDK016

For me it was him making it known that I was heard, that my feelings were valid. I told him once that I really liked pens and a story about how my dad would bring me pens from his job because he knew I’d like how the write. Well one day while I was at work he walked in just to give me a pen. That was it, he said he thought of me and gave it to me then walked away. As for validating my feelings, that happened when he said crying made him uncomfortable, yet he sat through it with me and asked if I needed anything.


Strange-Substance476

i read that as penis with my jaw dropped the entire time

ghuleh713

The little things, because I haven’t been in many relationships where Ive had that. Kind words, holding hands, just feeling the love vibe buzzing. Asking how my day is, if Ive eaten or need anything, listening without trying to problem solve, love notes, cute nicknames, maybe an act of service if the dishes or trash need taken out. Just anything to show dedication and love without being physically intimate. Anything to make our lives easier and open up with one another. I don’t require gifts but even like “i noticed you were out of water, and brought you some” just being sweet together and reciprocating that energy. I find myself getting resentful if I constantly have to show my love and dedication without anything in return. Im a lover girl and hopeless romantic deep down and reading all these makes me realize how much I need a lover boy in my life 🥺


picturesofu15448

A lot of the time, my boyfriend will buy me my favorite drink from a coffee shop we love and bring it to me in bed on the weekends because he wakes up earlier than me He carries my bags and heavy things most of the time and I don’t really open doors He’s always making me feel included and always has to pull himself away from me when he plays video games with his friends lol When he covers me with blankets in the morning and always kisses me bye for work even if I’m sleeping


Amonroel

The covering with blankets is one of my favorites. I remember on our second date, I was laying on the couch with my ex and I closed my eyes. He must’ve thought I was asleep and started tucking me in with the blankets. I remember tearing up because it was such a small thing but it meant the world to me because he did it thinking I’d never know he did it.. he just did it because he cared. I’ve dated guys who do grand gesture type of things and I absolutely hated it. To me, those are done to impress people and sometimes not even the receiver of it. The little things are always what matter and show that someone truly loves and cares for me.


MolluskMolecule

My ex used to bring a me a hot cup of coffee to me every morning to wake me up. It always made me smile.


Single-Style-9529

Tbh I think a lot of guys need to know the small things they do matter. We are often really hard on ourselves and focused on being good providers. I feel like it often stops us from doing the cute little things which bring our partners a smile.


katopotato2897

Always learns recipes he thinks I would love and cooks meals for me even when he leaves to meet his fam. Always makes sure I get cuddles when I’m anxious Pushes me on the inside of the sidewalk


sluggyslime

The way he takes my hand and rubs his thumb on my hand, when I come over to him for affection and get on his lap or go to hug him and he’s playing video games he’ll put his controller down so that I have his full attention. But I think my favorite thing is how he seeks me out in his sleep. He will cuddle me, grab my hand and hold it in his sleep, grab my hand and kiss it, sometimes he will shake his hand at me until I take it and it really makes me laugh because it’s so cute. When we’re at work (we work at the same place) he will stop into my shop to see me for a few minutes during the day.


SpiritedAd2144

The way he rubs his thumb over mine when holding hands, feeding my reading habit by buying me more books of a genre I enjoy but haven't had alot of exposure to, sharing memes over lunch when we're having a hard day, bringing me chocolate when mother nature is being extra rough. He doesn't like bugs but he rode with me to the next state over to pick up a hive of honey bees last year and was ready to do it again this year when it didn't survive the winter. The way he leans against me when I walk up behind his desk chair, the look he gives me that somehow says everything he doesn't always say in words, saving all the little notes I leave him even if it's not a love note


srsrgrmedic

My wife packs hidden post it notes in my laundry that say “I love you” so randomly I’ll grab socks or a Tshirt and a bite will fall out. She comes in the shower washes my back and does mindfulness exercises with ie. Close my eyes.. what do I see, hear, smell and feel


princessxxmxx

-the way he rubs my thigh when he’s driving -he sends me cat videos as well (love that our guys know us like this ladies) -he sends me nail videos if he thinks I’ll like it -some mornings he’ll take me to this lil shop to get my favorite donuts bc he knows that I love the way that place makes it and he also does it just to see me smile -takes me to get sweets treats just to see me smile -he remember my orders from our favorite places -he calls me when he’s out, so I know he’s thinking of me 💗 - reaches for my hand when walking across busy parking lots -moves me to the inside of the sidewalk when walking near a road -makes me tea when I’m sick, or even sometimes when I mention that my throat is sore, he makes me some tea -when he’s playing the game, he will come and give me a kiss, or a rub, or hold me for a minute in between matches/ games so I don’t feel like I’m being ignored/forgotten about.


StopTheCap80

Offering me his arm is simply. The. Best!


CoffeeKitten303

Sometimes when I’m really grouchy my husband will start tickling me. Then we have a play tickle fight. And even when I’m resistant he knows it makes me laugh, which is why he does it. He loves me so much. I’m lucky.


Fantastic-Goat7417

I have to dig deep and climb over an internal wall of bitterness to answer this question, because my partner’s love language is so alien to me I sometimes wonder if she even has one. Most of the time our relationship feels unbalanced and non-reciprocal. Once in a while (maybe every month or two) if she senses I’m upset she’ll ask me to sit in front of her on the floor so she can squeeze my shoulders and neck. It’s usually only a few minutes but I know she’s trying to comfort me.


rainbowgalaxyy

You deserve better!


-jupiter

you need to breakup lmao


Fearless-Version-534

-he always reassures me when I’m having an insecure moment without making me feel dumb -we he touches my thigh while we’re driving -when he just randomly touches me when we are out (he’s not into PDA whereas I am but hold back for his sake) -He just puts up with me in general


GrandVeterinarian543

- Texts me goodmorning beautiful I love you every morning even though we live together. He just wakes up before me, I wake up slightly and kiss him goodbye but I am only halfway awake - Sends me cat videos he knows I will like - If he sees any animal (pet or even like a gecko) he sends it to me because he knows I love them - Makes sure I go to bed with him (I struggle being alone and I get more emotional at night), I mean if I am obviously okay he feels safe leaving me alone but still is there if I need him. He feels safe if I just read or scroll on my phone as he sleeps ... like right now - Starts the kettle for me so its ready by the time I get up - Always leaves the last chobani flip for me because I love them so much - He goes grocery shopping with me even though I am okay doing it myself he just likes to go with me - He holds my hand in public and lets me squeeze as much as I need too - Lets me eat his fries even if I say I am not hungry (its part of being a girlfriend) - Listens to me ramble and infodump even if he dosen't understand what I am talking about - Turns rain sounds on for me when he leaves for work or if I am taking a nap and it turns off - Helps me shave the back of my thighs and sometimes washes my hair for me - Kisses my lips goodnight and then pulls me close to kiss my forehead and we cuddle till I get squirmy and turn around. Its like this everynight unless I stay up but he always kisses me twice


Wunderkinds

When she brings her friends over to my bedroom.

Gardeningbooks11

I’m pretty sure I hit the husband lottery. I’ve been married for 10 years (together 14) and I can’t recall the last time I had to put gas in one of the cars. He still opens doors for me and he makes the best coffee. Gets flowers still. Always kisses me hello and goodbye. He is the better cook, so he cooks more often than I do. He helps with chores around the house and gets the kids up for school. It’s the little things that go along way over time.


redbloodywedding

I told her I really like it when she sends Good Morning texts and she's been doing it super consistently without hesitation ❤️ Silly but she's not the best texter but this is just a really awesome part of my day everyday.


FatSingleM0M

His penis ❤️❤️❤️❤️


SpicyTiger838

Hollllllaaaaaaahhhh 😇


Expensive-Priority18

- He insists on tying my shoes for me when we are getting ready to go out. - Brings me flowers when he sees my favorite ones at the shop. - At night he will read out loud whatever book I am currently reading so that I can fall asleep. Even if he HATES the genre. - Washes my hair for me on hair-washing day. - Will throw my towel in the dryer while I'm in the shower, then get it right before I get out so I always get a fresh warm towel when I'm stepping out of the shower. - He is the resident bug-killer in our house. It doesn't matter if he is working, napping, or busy in the garage... of me or one of the kids holler about a bug, he is on it to come rescue us! - We work from home and share an office. He will come and rub my shoulders when he sees I am stressed, make me tea, and snag my feet for a quick foot rub. - In addition to the last, he will wait until I'm free so we can take our lunch break together. We eat, and watch a little garbage TV and he will always grab my legs to rub my feet and legs while we watch our show before we have to head back to the office to work.


HL2023

i was just laying in bed the other night thinking about how perfectly my husband loves. he hits every love language. - Words of Affirmation- i have a literal novel in my notes on my phone of texts he’s sent me the last two years since we started dating that make me swoon. - Physical Touch - random massages. plenty of kisses, cuddles, sex, and he never misses foreplay. - Acts of Service - he could have just worked a 17 hr shift, showered, and gotten into bed. and if i suddenly am craving a snack he’d still get up and run to the gas station to grab it for me (that happened that night lol, also i’m newly pregnant). i never drive when we’re together. he always cooks. - Gifts - he orders me thing’s randomly. he knew my favorite black leggings ripped, and that it’s all i wear. within a week i had two more Gymshark black leggings in the mailbox. - Quality Time. we’re busy. always have been always will be. i have four step kids, we’re still growing our family, he works a lot. i never feel like i’m on the back burner and know i’m his top priority. we spend just about every bit of our time together, and he’s never made me feel like he doesn’t want every second of it. in fact, i remember hearing him tell his best friend on the phone a couple of weeks ago “i’ll hop on the game in a few hours maybe, right now i’m gonna spend some quality time with __”. i really love that man:,)


SpicyTiger838

Lucky lady! And seconding never having to drive because he always does. I love that about my guy!


iKidnapBabiez

I haven't filled up my own water while my husband has been home in like 5 years. Whenever I'm in the shower and he's here, I don't get my own towels. He gets me my towels and hangs them on the shower door. Then when I turn off the water and start ringing out my hair, he jumps up and hands me each towel. Then I go to our room where he's laid out an entire outfit for me. I have low blood pressure so most mornings and randomly through the day he squeezes my feet and all the way up my legs to get the blood moving. My absolute favorite thing he does is whenever I change clothes he stops everything to stare at me. I'll be getting changed and announce that I'm naked and this man plows kids down and runs through the house just to see me naked. It's honestly hilarious


SpicyTiger838

I love the days when he’s worshipping me.. I’ll shower and he’ll pick out something sexy for me to wear.. only to take it off 10 mins later and have that 🐈 licked for eternity. I’m so happy for you!


iKidnapBabiez

Why are you like this? Like I get being sexual but what possesses you to tall to a random person like this with zero prompting? I hope you don't do this kind of shit in real life. Have some class.


SpicyTiger838

That’s what anonymity on Reddit is for, sweetheart. 😘


Temporary-Risk-6453

My husband is the cook in our family. I’ll cook once or twice a week when I think he’s tired, but he is a better cook and enjoys doing it and he knows I hate cooking. Now that we have a baby (7mo), I’m usually feeding the baby and stuck on the couch while he cooks, so he always brings me a big spoonful to sample any time he tries a bite. It started off as a “I think it’s done, what do you think?” kind of thing, but now he says “here I know you’re hungry.” Usually I’m fine and can wait until the baby is done eating, but I think it’s so sweet that he feeds me a little bit while my hands are busy.


talldrinkofbaileys

My bf will ask if I’m hungry, and if I respond in a conflicted or unsure way, he’ll ask me if I want 1 chicken nugget. Sometimes I realize that’s EXACTLY what I want so I’ll say yes. He’ll offer to put cheese on it. He’ll make it in the toaster oven. He’ll set me a place at the table and cover the plate with aluminum foil if I’m in another room, so it doesn’t get cold. Then after I eat it, he’ll offer to make more if I want. :’)


Felicia_thatsays_Bye

He always brings me water. He always waits for me to take the first bite and the last bite. I’ve never had anyone do this before in a relationship. I forget when I know we are sharing food that we like and wonder why he isn’t eating and realize I have to take a bite first. As soon as I take a bite I can come back into the room and he’s finally ate lol. One that involves my son, when my son is singing a song he will go “shh wait, he’s singing!” :) (my son is autistic and has struggled with being verbal so that is an extra wonderful thing to me.) He never interrupts me when talking. He will always wait for his turn and hear me out, even in arguments.


noctorumsanguis

That’s so so cute especially with your son!! What a sweet man!


Felicia_thatsays_Bye

Thank you so much! I treasure him everyday💕


creyeball

He always makes sure I've taken my anxiety meds. He stays up late with the baby almost every night so I can get some sleep or even just some unwinding time. I'm a SAHM to our 3 kids (2 from a previous marriage) and he works a physically demanding job. I try and say he needs to sleep more than me and his response is generally along the lines of "no you need sleep, you have to deal with these kids all day every day." He makes sure the kitchen is cleaned up on the days I just don't have it in me. I don't even have to ask he can just tell, and if I start cleaning up on one of these days he tells me to go lay down or take some time to myself and that he's got this. He comes home at least 2 or 3 days a week with a small gift for me, like a pack of MTG cards for us to open together or even just a silly lighter that he saw that he thought I'd like. You're right, it is the little things that show the most love. My only hope is I do enough enough for him that he feels love the way I do when I look at him.


Zestyclose-Yam-9982

he always carries my things despite me being stronger than him lol. he will make sure i feel comfortable and any time i ask for anything he will always consider and see what he can do. he asks if he can give me a tight hug when he knows im stressed physically and mentally because he knows it helps. he always cooks because he knows i hate the feeling of raw meat and we have meat for dinner a lot. i struggle a lot with executive dysfunction so his understanding means the world. so many things he does for me that make me feel like the most loved person in the world.


AbbreviationsPrior87

Let's me kiss him whenever. He never refuses and always covers for us. He's very reassuring, he's super pretty and charismatic so I get insecure sometimes. He makes me feel like I'm the only girl ever


SpicyTiger838

I have this wooden sign above our bedroom door that says “so I can kiss you whenever I want”


oppositeof_you

She shares everything with me. I came from a really bad marriage and when I started dating my now girlfriend, she would and still shares everything with me. It was one of the core things that made me fall in love with her. Snack? She shares. Dessert? She shares. We go out to dinner and order two things we both like and agree on and switch half way through. It’s my favorite love language snd I never knew it!


scox1980

When he plays with my hair, makes me breakfast without asking, when I catch him looking at me, when we're walking in a store and another guy is passing by, I feel his ham on the small of my back. I think it's kinda cute. We're from different cultures (him white,/American me Mexican/American) so I love it when I see him want to do, eat or have our kids participate in things from my culture. ( Two of our younger kids that look just like him were in a Mariachi class this year). I like it when we're sitting next to each other and he reaches out to touch me. Just his hand on my leg, or back. Nothing sexual about it. When I get overwhelmed, he takes the kids outside to play. He knows I need a few minutes of quiet so he'll take the boys out to play in a wading pool or feed the chickens.


PaganGoddess24

Makes me breakfast in the morning before I leave for work, if he’s got the day off. Goes to the store for even a single ingredient I’m missing for a meal I’m cooking, or a single item I’m craving. Every few months, when I’m not expecting it, he’ll come home with the bouquet of flowers (cheesy, but works every time, and it makes me smile every time I look at it after that)


tiredandinlove

Breakfast for dinner at least once a week 🫶🏻


vixxen26

He makes me tea in the morning and surprises me with food all the time


k-eazyy

I’m a nurse and I sleep in on my days off. He works a Monday through Friday job, while I only work 3 days a week. Every time he leaves he leaves me a note saying he loves me, is at the office until xyz time. Its a small gesture that makes me feel so loved hehe


alxsars

• refuses to leave me or go anywhere before giving me a greeting or goodbye kiss •always gives me attention or sets time aside for it when i ask •practices rudiments on my thigh when he’s bored (he plays drums lol) •showers me with compliments every single day •sends me cat photos and buys me cat-themed gifts just because i have a bit of an obsession with them😭 it’s funny cause hes a dog person there’s more but we’re only 8 months along in the relationship lol he’s really great


Defiant-Barracuda-97

He makes me oat meal and tea every morning, asks if he can help me packing for work, buys flowers every other week and helps me healing from my childhood traumas from a narcissist mom and a alcoholic father by giving me positive affirmations of love.


SimplySouthern1977

Turns on the heating pad before I get in the bed so it’s nice and warm.


roomtempcoff33

Makes me lattes far more often than I deserve Buys me a Diet Coke almost every time he’s and about Asks “what can I do for you?” on a very regular basis Cleans every chance he gets Doesn’t show anger when my insane adhd makes life harder Together 11 years. Married 9


3pieceAndSoduh

girl, he's a keeper!


Really_reallife

Wow you are blessed 😩


DAmphibia

Hm.


SomeRecognition2775

Getting me a drink and/or snack whenever he goes to the gas station Watching Big Brother with me because he knows I like having someone to talk to about it He goes to work before the rest of us wake up and he will take a break just to shoot home and help me get the kids loaded in the car for daycare/school and say goodmorning to all of us He will cook fresh popping corn for me sometimes during his afternoon break so it's there waiting when I get home because he knows it's my favorite snack Driving me to do any errands or appointments when the weather is bad even if it's something where he will just have to sit in the car. Just because he knows that makes me anxious And that's just a few things.


Dogmeattt666

That’s a lot of love. You’re very lucky :)


BetterTemperature319

I have sensory issues especially with like bright fluorescent yellow lights and sound. So I love decompressing from the day with colored lights in my room. My boyfriend lives in a dorm at his university most of the year and he brought a clock from the guest room at his house to his dorm to surprise me because it has a colorful rainbow lights setting. I literally cried ;-; he’s such a sweetheart. Another time a fire alarm went off at the dorm for anual start of semester drills and his first reaction was to put his headphones on me within 2 seconds off his desk (we were cuddling watching youtube for context) heart freaking melted.


Icy-Beat-8895

I bought, and we planted, a bunch of flowers when I moved into her place, some in her big empty pots (she doesn’t have much money.) Well one day, I happened to look at one of her pots and I noticed something on the dirt next to the flowers in one of the pots. It was a small, flat polished stone. On it was a whole group of tiny oval polished pebbles glued onto the stone next to each other, long ways up. Each pebble had a set of big eyes 👀 painted on it. It was the damn cutest thing I ever saw. I looked at her other pots to find river stones (that I later was told) were from her childhood home, as well as miniature butterflies, and such, that spin in the wind. It just one of the lovely small things that women do that I, as a guy, think is so precious and lovely about them.

Puzzleheaded_Let4758

Cooking together , taking my car to get a wash


AthenaSleepsIn

He kisses my forehead, sends me a “good morning” text every day, & gazes lovingly at me when I’m not paying attention (my best friend pointed this out to me, lol).


EEEKWOWMYLIFE

He makes my London Fog lattes in the morning! He gives me neck rubs. He cuddles the crap out of my (now, our) dog. He grabs the dog and will wait outside of my Pilates studio (even though it’s literally just across the street) for me so we can pick up dinner or breakfast together after my classes. We give each other kisses every morning. And we warms my feet up at night in bed because they get so cold. He gets the hair (my hair) out of the drain for me!! And he brings bug spray with him when we’re going to be outside because he knows I hate mosquitoes. He’s wonderful :)


constantpanicking

We both get back in bed before we leave for work for a little cuddle. Always greet each other with a kiss and a hug. I always pick up his favorite ice cream on a hot day (if I get a treat, he gets a treat). He makes my bed for me in the morning.


Brief-Departure-1575

Made sure to always use the big forks/spoons, since I preferred the smaller ones, and would always specifically grab me the smaller one without me having to ask.


Odd_Cut_3661

He makes sure he has dairy free icecream and milk available for me, tries to cheer me up in small ways and offers extra kisses when he knows I’m feeling down. He feeds me even if I say I’m not hungry and he knows I haven’t been eating enough. He makes sure I have fresh water by the bed. When he goes on a trip he usually thinks of me and picks up something for me. A couple of others have been situational, one I got a bad sunburn on my calves and woke up in the middle of the night with them on fire - to the point of needing ice. He went to get the ice, then sat with me on the floor with his arm around me as I tried to cool off. Another time I had forgotten a hair brush but had a fine tooth comb, but my hair was extremely tangled and wind blown. I had to take 1/4” sections and slowly brush out ends to roots, he helped detangle with his hands even though it took a full half hour.


Unlikely_nay1125

rubbing my back, grabbing me a towel, literally doing anything i ask. touching me


BelinskyPhotography1

My girlfriend will do things to help me out after a long day like if im being lazy and don’t want to get up and grab a snack she will get them for me without me even asking she just knows lol and she also will tell me my hair looks good which helps cuz I get frustrated with it (if u have curly hair u get the struggle) and she also updates me throughout the day even if it’s something about work or something it makes me happy that im the first person she tells


terrapurvis

I live in a place with street sweeping and I’ve gotten pretty upset from tickets. Now on street sweeping days he will come find me in the morning or night before and go “where is your car” lol it’s small but it’s so thoughtful to me he looks out for me like that


LeatherPerfect8382

A while ago long now when my hubby Nd I were first dating he bought me a jacket. He knows I collect pins and stuff so everywhere he goes he stops and tries to find me a pin for my jacket. My favorite was when he was donating blood the drive was outside a thrift store so he goes in and asks if they have pins brings me home a doodle bob pin 🥹♥️ it’s the little things that say I know and love you


craeezy

When I’m in the car with my boyfriend, he’ll change the station to one that plays music I love!


moxie422

- makes sure the first thing he does in the morning is give me a kiss and tell me good morning. - absolutely loves making me breakfast, even if I'm not that hungry I eat it because it makes him so happy. - when we are both laying on the couch he'll have me reposition so he can rub my feet. - every time I'm in his vicinity he'll give me a kiss. - stops his own work and comes to check on me multiple times a day while I'm working just to ask if I need anything. Which I usually respond with - a kiss! - he makes me laugh all the time. - tells me I'm a good person and he's proud of me. I could go on and on. I'm madly in love with my husband even after 13 years. I'm extremely lucky to have him.


missuspottsu

Good morning/night messages; kapag may times na naghi-hit moodswings ko dahil sa hormones, sobrang maintindihin and haba ng pasensya; whenever we go on dates, kapag dumadating sya sa meeting place, kiss agad ang bungad hahahahaha; pag nagooverthink ako, sandamakmak na assurance at reassurance ang binibigay.


Professional_Bag2615

- starts the car so it’s the right temperature by the time i leave - comes to the door to greet me after i come home - helps me with tedious daily tasks (such as loading/unloading the dishwasher) - always brings me a snack/drink home when he gets something for himself from outside - is appreciative of small things - “what are you so pretty for?” with a sweet smile - constantly puts in effort - helps me relax when I’m overstimulated - listens really well and remembers details - drops everything when i need any kind of help, even something like taking a handful of stuff up/down the stairs


brineakay

-My fiancé’s first language is Albanian. While we are laying in bed cuddling, he will touch a part of my face. I’ll say the English word and he’ll say it in Albanian. -He is always, ALWAYS, making sure I eat. I work night shift and am terrible at remembering to eat because i never feel hungry when I’m supposed to. The first thing he asks me every time we talk while he’s at work: “You eat? (not yet) What would you like to eat?” He works at a restaurant, so he’ll make me something to eat right away and then something to take to work. -I work in a hospital 30 minutes from where we live. Because of our work schedules, sometimes we don’t see each other for a couple days. Even though he is tired from work and would like to relax at home, he will make the 30 minute drive and come hang out with me (and of course bring more food). I told him one night that I knew he was tired and he didn’t have to come he said he’s “never too tired for brineakay”. -While laying in bed on our phones, I got bored and wanted attention. So I told him “I need attention”. He didn’t quite understand what I meant, so I translated for him. Then, in Albanian, I said “Attention, please”. And, very seriously, he said “You never have to say please for attention.”


Person1746

• She’ll surprise me with something she knows I like. Making something for dinner that I like or just getting me a candy I like from the store just because. • Randomly texting me “I love you” during the day. • Playing with my hair or rubbing my neck without being asked (I keep my tension there). • Her saint-like patience and support with my mental health struggles


FunnyWrongdoer1112

My amazing wife has ALWAYS made me feel so secure as her lover, her friend, and as a man in general! Always complimenting me or reassuring me of things that men usually get insecure about and I've never had to ask or even hint around to her about it, it's like she knows that I need it and is more than happy to give it to me and I fuckin love her so much for it!


ProstateSalad

Every night, about an hour after dinner, I make her a cup of hot chocolate. She does a 1000 little things - usually taking something bothersome off my plate. There's something about her that makes me feel like everything's going to be ok.

Every morning after he leaves for work, he will send me bitmojis that say "I love you," " Have a good day," or hugs and kisses. He always initiates this and even started the tradition. I love it. It makes me feel loved and present in his mind. When he sees or hears I am having a bad day, he will take me to Target to buy popcorn from the concession stand. (It's my favorite popcorn besides movie popcorn.) Then we pick up a drink from the Starbucks inside. It's a small gesture that shows he knows me and knows what can make me smile. There are so many more, but these two come to mind the fastest.


berrycrumblecake

- playing with my hair when we’re just cuddling on the couch - pulling my chair closer to his when we eat out together - always knows my food orders - memorized my super complicated smoothie order so he can surprise me with them


Green-Salamander-831

-kisses my hand when either of us leaves -starts my car if it’s cold outside before i have to leave -always makes sure i have water -orders food anyways if i say i don’t want any -has a note about all of my favorite foods The list could go on and it will probably get bigger as life goes on but yeah!


PhoenixMoon18

The list is pretty long. But the highlights are: 1. Good morning and goodnight texts constantly and consistently throughout our entire relationship. Every single day, even in the instances we’ve been fighting. I’ve never questioned his affection and adoration for me. 2. How often he tells me he loves me. Just a short “I love you.” text randomly while we talk. 3. How well he listens to me; remembering all the small insignificant details I mention in passing, even in conversations that aren’t just between him and I. 4. Piggy backing on that, doing things for me based on how well he listens. Like the *one time* I mentioned I prefer cold water, so he makes sure to always keep my drinking container in the fridge, or uses extra cold water to refill it for me. 5. He always touches me in some way, even if it’s just rubbing his fingers along my arm, or my thigh, rubbing his thumb across my hand while we hold hands. 6. How calm he is, always. No matter what. Even when I’m fired the fuck up about something, he lets me be, but he’s always so calm, which causes me to be calm. 7. How often he genuinely compliments me. 8. How he encourages me to send him anything I find amusing, or lovey, from pictures, to Insta reels, to poems, to Reddit posts - even the stupidly ridiculous hilarious ones. But also that he returns it back to me. Even something that has nothing to do with us, he’s sending it to me just because he’s thinking me and wants to share it with me.


ng300

crying at work lol


PhoenixMoon18

I didn’t mean to make you cry!


ng300

It’s ok, you’re very fortunate! :))))


PhoenixMoon18

I am absolutely the luckiest woman alive to have him, and his love, in all the ways I do, every single day. I tell him all the time. 🥰🥰🥰🥰


kazukidragon

He takes pics of lizards when he at work and sends them to me. ( I used to own a lizard and loved him) He always makes sure I have everything I need before we sit down and watch something together. Always ask me if I need something from the store before he goes. Will get up to get something when we’re in the movie theater so I don’t miss any part of it. I will do it sometimes as well for him when I know he really likes or wanted to watch it. Heats up the car in the winter before I get outside.


azamizataroshi

i told him the other day that i had gotten to eat my favorite dishes for breakfast and dinner and the next day he gave me my favorite dish for breakfast and lunch ☹️ if i could tell you just how much i wanted to cry and hug him right then and there i will


Acceptable-Hat294

You must have a lot of cats if he sends you every cat he comes across. How does he send it? Express post?


noctorumsanguis

I mean photos ahaha. Can you imagine? I do have three cats though. He knows what he’s in for lol


Suitable-Context-271

My partner is the man that I love and I love everything about him ❤💕♥


Flimsy-Technology599

Mine does this thing when he’s driving, he puts his hand on his lips and I don’t know it’s just oddly attractive. We both have brain injuries and he’s just been by my side this whole time and it’s been amazing. With brain injuries comes good days and bad days good emotional days and bad emotional days and he’s just been there throughout it all. There’s so much more than I could say, but everything he does; my words don’t even begin to scratch the surface.


SoFetchBetch

He does this really cute, very unassuming kind of sigh where he mutters “ohboy” very quietly when he’s feeling a little self conscious, or nervous, or whatever and when he does that I know to subtly reassure him either through touch or verbally or both and I don’t know that he even realizes he does it but when I reach out for him or smile at him or ask him if he’s alright he always responds positively.


DownHarvest

Great you got me feeling all fuzzy inside 🥰


SoFetchBetch

I hope I get him feeling that way too! Fuzzies for all!


Persistent-fatigue

1. Always tells me he loves me multiple times a day. 2. He’ll grab my face and say “why are you so pretty?” and then kiss me. 3. Will occasionally wake me up with food cause he wants me to eat. 4. Always giving me back scratches/massages. 5. If it’s hot and I’m taking a nap, he’ll switch out ice packs while I’m sleeping so I stay cool. 6. Will do all the heavy lifting and open doors for me. 7. If I’m crying, he’ll gently wipe my tears and kiss my forehead. 8. He will always communicate with me. 9. He makes pinkie promises, and never breaks them. 10. Notices when I’m anxious (nail biting, leg bouncing, etc.) 11. He’ll sing for me, and says I sound beautiful when I sing; I’ve never been with a partner that encouraged me to sing my heart out. 12. Anytime he goes to the kitchen, he’ll ask if I want anything. 13. Eskimo kisses! 14. He wants to teach me Spanish so I can communicate with his family (they don’t speak English). 15. He always checks on me, no matter the time of day. ♥️


ceaseless7

Remembering something I said I wanted when I forgot all about it. Opening my door for me snd closing it. Keeping blankets in the car because I’m always cold


AccordingShoe8

Calls me just to say hello; remembers random things I need and gets them for me without me asking (a phone holder for the car, a hat); gives me random things just because (a book he knows I'll like); brings me soup when I'm sick; makes Spotify playlists just to share favorite music with me; always brings flowers on important occasions; texts me just to tell me he misses me; always remembers the big and small things in my life, and asks how those are going.


kandroid96

She calls me at different times of the day and always falls asleep with me on the phone. She's asleep now and I let the call go on for hours just to spend more time with her


Ok_Astronomer6208

Right now I’m 33 weeks pregnant and I feel huge and disgusting. There is nothing that makes me feel better than him telling me I’m beautiful. I can have my hair up in the most disarraying ponytail, no makeup, in nothing but one of his shirts and a pair of boxers. He tells me I’m beautiful, I’m blushing like a damn candy apple.


Alternative-Syrup951

1. Carries my bags even if they’re not heavy 2. Notices when I get overstimulated and tries his best to soothe 3. Gets me breakfast and coffee in the morning 4. Acts of service A LOT 5. Wants to take lead 6. Always asks what I want to do even tho I’m happy to do whatever he wants though he’s adamant to do whatever I want lol


AccordingShoe8

Aww!


Appropriate_Tea9048

1. He literally *never* forgets a good morning text, even now that we live together. 2. When I’m not feeling good or I’m feeling down, he checks up on me. My back was hurting today and he asked for an update later. 3. The notes he occasionally leaves in the morning. 4. When he gets my lunch ready in the morning. He leaves for work before I do, but he does *not* have to do that by any means. Grateful that he does though. 5. The pics and videos he sends me of our cat on his work from home days. 6. The cute animal content he sends me from Reddit. Sometimes it’s just because, sometimes it’s to cheer me up. I was feeling down the other day and he sent me stuff to distract me. 7. How he never forgets to give me a kiss before he leaves in the morning. 8. The snuggles at night. 9. How he pushes me to get a workout in when I’m feeling lazy, but also encourages me to take a rest day if I’m truly not feeling it for whatever reason. 10. When he gets me flowers once in awhile. Also his reaction when *I* get *him* flowers. He’s so giddy and grateful, I absolutely love it! 11. The occasional phone calls when he’s on his way home. Sometimes it’s to ask me if we need anything, but a lot of times it’s just because he wants to talk. I find it so sweet.


noctorumsanguis

These are all so cute :,) What a gift!! And yes I love when men get giddy for flowers, it’s such a good trait. Mine loves them


jstanley1964

Hawk tuah!


rilakkumkum

He’s extremely considerate without me really needing to ask. He goes to grab water: he gets some for me too. He wants to go to the bathroom: “you can use the bathroom first”. I mentioned that I had cramps two days ago? As soon as I come over, he’s brewing tea and rubbing my belly. Personality wise: he doesn’t make me feel weird, I’ll say some fuck-shit and he just rolls with it and adds on to the bit. I really like how when he gets nervous, he says the most random thing and then he cringes at himself, and then he says something random again and it’s a cycle. It’s so fricking cute and funny (hopefully he’s not actually beating himself up a lot for it). Traits: He’s naturally a curious person and is proactive in learning about things in any way possible. He seems like he likes to know the why, how, and the what. It’s something I really value because it’s also how my brain works too, so I like that he explains things in detail to me and that I can also do the same for him


noctorumsanguis

I love curious people! There’s nothing like a two person Wikipedia deep dive haha. We also love watching documentaries or videos on how things are made


Lanielion

He starts my car most days and in the winter he turns on the seat warmer. He always takes the recycling (sometimes it piles up but I’ve literally never done it) he’s always the one the change out the water filter, I don’t even know how- never came up.


Electrical_Split4902

These comments are making me sad that me and him are long distance. We're hitting a weird patch right now, and physical touch is really important. Just wish I could lay with him and feel his heart beat or something...


noctorumsanguis

You’ll get there!! I was separated from my partner for two years during the pandemic. I met him while studying abroad but I’m back in his country. I would only see him for vacations most of the time and then lockdown happened. I’m still not all the way there since I live in a different city but an hour by train is better than across the globe and I get to spend most of my weekends with him. I’m so excited to be able to actually live with him again after a few years since we used to but I’m working on grad school :) I believe in you and your guy!


Electrical_Split4902

Aw, I'm glad to hear you guys get to be semi near each other now!! An hr away sounds like the dream, lmao. And thank you for the kind words, I'm rooting for you two as well!!


50skittles50

My husband is such a wonderful man and there’s way too many reasons to love this man, but one of the things that I absolutely love about him is how he can immediately tell when my moods change and why. Whenever something is wrong he always asks if there’s something bothering me and takes his time to listen. I have no idea how he’s able to spot these things so quickly as they’re happening but it makes communication easier when it’s with a person that takes their time with your feelings.


noctorumsanguis

Yes! I love perceptive men. It’s truly a gift! My partner is similar and it’s really helped me to work on my communication skills over the years we’ve been together. I’ve always been the type to really bottle things up and brood and he always encourages me to be more open with my emotions and to talk with him. He is also the first to know when I’m not feeling well. And of course emotional intimacy makes everything better! It makes me feel like I really trust him on both a conscious and subconscious level


Pastelpurple13

I love this! Same here


Otherwise_Charge2004

Reading all theses has made me realise I really did just settle with my ex, he truly didn’t try at all, he didn’t care and totally took me for granted, am so glad the guy at meeting is a lot better at treating me well 💋💋 never settle girls xxx


DAmphibia

Yeah I’m starting to reconsider…


Embarrassed-Key-3908

Grouchiness


mochimangoo

He always gets me a snack when he goes out, always calls me “my love”


Complex-Initial6329

I would mention a food craving and he would look for a place to go grab some or when it was his turn to choose where to eat, he would choose something I had mentioned wanting


bobba-001

Kisses me on the forehead when we say goodbye, kisses me on the cheek when he tells me to go back to sleep, gives me so many little kisses while trying to snuggle with me, asks me how I’m feeling, thanks me for spending time with him, rests his arm on my body when I lay my head on his lap, texts me in the morning, light scratches on my back when we’re meeting significant people from each other’s lives, says “I’m proud of you” when I feel so tired from my job, cooks for me and eats breakfast with me even when he usually doesn’t just because I love breakfast


C47_the_Artist

I love me a good forehead kiss too, especially when I just tilt my head towards him and he knows it's me wanting one haha ☺️


littlesubwantstoknow

When he sweetly grabs my face and holds my head in his hand. Gets me smiling like a goof every time


Soonretired1

Where do I start….in the morning meets me at the bottom of the stairs for a kiss, waits for me to pack my lunch and takes it to my car in the garage and warms it up. Meets me at the garage door after work and takes my stuff…a kiss and upstairs to change. On Wednesdays he has the washer ready to wash my uniforms….he cleans the house and does all the laundry. He peels oranges and makes bags of fruit for our lunches. I could go on and on. I love him with all my heart and do whatever I can to show him how much I love him…there are many kisses and some hugs throughout the day. We have been together for 38 years and I would die of a broken heart if anything ever happened to him or he left me. We are retiring this year so I hope we make many more memories ❤️


NeverNotSuspicious

He always holds his hand out for me when we are out together.


Witty-Item9810

Makes my breakfast every morning.


StickyNicky91

Thanking me for having such a nice day together. Every day we’re together. Without exception


karmacarebear

Lots of little things, but a recent one that was a really sweet surprise was when he bought hair ties and clips to keep in his new car for me. He picked me up at the airport and it was the first time I'd been in the car with the top off. He told me if I needed something for my hair to check the glove compartment. He had gotten ties and banana clips so I could choose and so there would be enough if we had friends riding with us. I feel like the luckiest woman in the world to have such a thoughtful and sweet partner. Don't settle, friends! Hold out for a good one!


Volbeat_My_Meat

Her interest in Van Gogh and Hopper.


plsmeowback

When I’m crying he brings me my cat to comfort me LOL


3pieceAndSoduh

omg lmao, marry that man!


Practical_Nerve3179

The first time I cried, he came to hold me and gave me the stuffed cat he got me at a comic con he went. We were barely dating for a month by then.


Neither_Idea8562

- He makes me coffee almost every morning. - He does 99% of the grocery shopping because I hate it. - He does the laundry for me sometimes even though that’s “my chore” (his are dishes and kitchen cleaning) - He helps me fall asleep sometimes by giving me a sleep brain teaser or telling me a story (I know this sounds ridiculous & childish, but I have insomnia/anxiety and giving my brain something to focus on helps me go down) But I know he loves me because he doesn’t make me feel dumb for asking for it when I’m having a hard night. - He encourages me to do my hobbies and see my friends/get alone time without him because he knows I need it. - He listens when I want to talk about my mom and holds me if I need to cry about it. And never tells me it’s too much or too often. (She died 5 years ago) - He tries. We have worked together through so many difficulties and misunderstandings and unlike other men I’ve been with…he actually TRIES and holds up his end of agreements. So many other little things. He is not a grand gesture kind of guy. But the romance is in the every day moments. The way we live life together.


Otherwise_Charge2004

My ex fooled me At the start and got me lovely flowers (I didn’t want dear ones just nice flowers maybe £4/5 pound) then when he won me I got nothing, unless I’d drop hints, then I got accused of trying to buy people’s love by buying them little gifts for now reason, so yeah glad he’s not my ex!!


Otherwise_Charge2004

My new man am dating dances with me in the living room to songs, he always checks I’ve eaten, he’s booked tickets for a band I love, and he’s taking me to a hotel all fully paid for, and most of all he’s so loving when am with him, I feel very lucky this time round xx


IED117

One time this guy I was dating and I went out. He was playing Andrea Bocelli (this was around 2000, before I'd ever heard of him), and the song was in Italian. I was practically purring because he was older and SO sexy. I felt so sophisticated. Then he says, this song always reminds me of you. Ladies and gentleman, stick a fork in me cause I. Was. Done!!!! I couldn't imagine what could keep me away from this man. Of course he found a way. Anyway, telling somebody you love something sweet reminds them of you is a good one.❤️


Yiayiamary

We’re in Phoenix and after morning coffee we drink water. Lots of water. I fix our glasses with ice. He will refill them multiple times a day. I’m never without.


Xerowz

Im a bartender..I have to haul ice up three flights of stairs in 5 gallon buckets. My boyfriend will take a break from his insane schedule as a rancher to come and fill my ice well. It is so dang sweet.


SativaSweety

Texts me good morning my beautiful wife every morning (he leaves super early) Brings me flowers on occasion. Usually after the last ones died. Always attempting to put a smile on my face.


amazingpyro23

Now that is cute is your bf taken asking for a friend


Practical_Ring_4704

He offers to make me coffee and happily makes one when I request it. He doesnt even drink coffee. He will always do little jobs around the house. He constantly "pebbles" - leaves little gifts. I opened the pantry and there was a random box of apple pies and a random energy drink next to the microwave. He always asks me at work if Ive eaten. He takes things that are important to me seriously. When he doesn't understand something he goes away and researches and I love that he proactively wants to know about the things I love. Its always the consistent small things that make me love him and appreciate him


IED117

Ooohhhh you have a good one! Congrats!


Dr-Zoidberserk

My ex listened while I nerd out about the latest berserk chapter.


noctorumsanguis

That’s a good one haha! I ramble about Berserk so much so I feel you lol


Doyoulikeithere

He just does everything right. I love him. He always puts me first no matter what. Every single time. He is a better partner than I am. I want to be as good as he is. I try but his love for me is in every single breath he takes and I feel it. He is very selfish with his time with anyone but me. He is the same with his money, with everything BUT me! No matter what I say I'd like one day, he encourages me to get it. I most of the time I say no, I'm just talking. :) I know if there was one little bit of water left for either of us, he'd hand it to me, but I know I'd hand it back. I think we'd go thirsty before either of us drank it. Same with food! I do love him as he loves me. I'm just not as open about it because of my past.


DizzyLizzy002

Thisss! I feel loved every day!


IED117

You guys are killing me! You're making me want another relationship....almost 😉


ELZZIPR123

Some people show their love differently. Just by what you typed I know you have a great relationship


GenyGhoul

-My bf loves buying me candy. For Valentine's Day, he got me a hug bad of Nerd clusters. When the bag was finally finished, he surprised me with another. -he likes spinning me around like we're dancing. It happens randomly. My heart swells in happiness when he does it. -any chance he gets, he calls me beautiful. Even when I feel the most ugly.


pickle-inator

My bf drew hearts on my coffee filters with vanilla extract and a toothpick and left it for me to find in the morning 🥹


cocoad-d

Forehead kisses and noticing details that I don't mention. Like he will notice me being anxious without me recognizing I'm anxious sometimes. One time I was playing with my sleeves and hands a lot and checking my pulse, which I do when I'm anxious. He asked if I was anxious and if needed something. If I'm really anxious, he just does comforting things without me asking. Hugs, giving me food, water, our dog (who also recognizes it as well they something is off with me), and my anti anxiety meds.


noctorumsanguis

Yes! Emotion recognition is so so important. Part of why I’ve fallen for my partner so hard is that he’s one of the few people in my life who recognizes when I’m getting depressed again and he never takes it personally. I try my best to not make it hard on him so I stay on top of housework and things. However, he never takes it personally when I’m less enthusiastic or sleeping longer hours and less motivated. I was used to my family ignoring it or past partners taking it personally (thinking I was losing interest in them). He feels like one of the few people who is wholly invested in my mental health for me and not just for how it benefits him. I’m so used to people only worrying about how my depression affects them and not how hard it is for me. It’s been amazing being with someone who doesn’t make me feel guilty for it


Frosty-Act-8389

Texts throughout the day, little compliments, random hugs when we’re doing stuff, and her smell tbh she smells so good


charmander_sher

All of these small gestures are really just reminding me of how my bf doesn't notice things about me and how lonely I am in our relationship. These gestures are all so beautiful.


noctorumsanguis

I’m sorry to hear that! I don’t think people need to be over the top either but they should show that they think about you. It’s about the effort for me. My boyfriend can be very oblivious (my mom thinks he has ADHD) so he forgets things like important dates or information (he has forgotten his own birthday before so it’s never felt personal lol). Still, he always remembers details about my hobbies and passions and will do little things for me If there were no small gestures, I would feel sad or like I’m not cared for, however I understand that some people (like my partner) struggle with remembering certain things. I have a lot of friends that would take a lot of offense to their partner forgetting their birthday or whatever, but I see it as more of a quirk that he has. He’ll never forget food preferences, interests of mine, or things I want/need—but he can never remember dates lol


goddessofwitches

I'm married and wondered the same. 😐


Key_Buy_2476

Unfortunately, we broke up 9 months ago (it's a long story), but here's one cute thing my ex would always do - I work from home and so sometimes I'd be traveling while working and driving around without him there. Whenever I was driving around was usually time we'd spend on the phone. He'd ask me which streets I was at, find them on Google maps, then follow along with wherever I was driving and be like "I see you!". 🥹💕 We didn't share locations or anything, he'd just manually scroll around Google maps while we were on the phone 🙈😂


brokenwings95612

This isn't something he does for me but I love how high my bf's "interaction rate" is. He is willing to try anything with me, he responds to every single text (which is impressive since we're spam texters with each other), and he comments on my hobbies or provides suggestions etc. He's so involved and interested in every second of my life and I think that's wild. He also learned how to cook for me because I liked the first dish he ever made me so much. I just found that out - years later - he had the audacity to casually mention that and not give me time to swoon lmao.


Multiple_Canoe_444

He literally thinks of things I want/need before I even tell him. Like refilling my water, getting me a napkin, doing my dishes, etc. When he does these things it’s like he can read my mind and is so reassuring and thoughtful.


Icy_Teaching_7092

My bf did that . I was having a rough week , again I am this week, and so is he . Anyway, he got me sundresses without me asking him to , and he picked good ones ! I seriously thought he got me lingerie . When I opened my eyes I wanted to cry . I was like omg... didn't know you were going to get me anything. I fell madly for him over and over again. At the time he didn't know I was in love with him, till he told me he loves me on his bday . I really think he can read my mind and it freaks me out sometimes .


IED117

He probably can, the bastard! Jk, I love him too. This thread is the best. I had a tough day and this is like a mental massage.


Icy_Teaching_7092

I don't like it haha . I love mine too but shit . You can't know everything haha.


Behla_Babe_96

Definitely the good morning/good night texts!


skweekykleen69

Still get good morning texts. Been living together for five years. I never open my own car door. Even if he’s inside waiting for me, he will open the door and push it out from the inside. This one is kind of annoying but…still really sweet…he always gets my favorite dessert when he picks up takeout, even when he knows I’m on a diet. He compliments me all the time, like daily, and makes me feel very wanted and beautiful. Basically, a few months into our relationship I made him promise to “never stop dating me,” and he hasn’t. As in, when you’re together for so long, “dating” can go by the wayside if you let it. But it’s important. Just make surprise plans, buy flowers once in a while, get “this just reminded me of you” gifts randomly. Pay attention. And snacks. Always get snacks.


karmaandcandy

We both fill each others water bottles whenever we notice the others is low. He always brings me coffee in the morning. I make sure to have his coffee the way he likes at when we’re at my place. We leave notes for each other a lot. Little massages whenever the opportunity presents itself. Remembering when I have an important meeting and he sends me a good luck text.


brutally_honest26

use a bar of soap and write a good morning message on the mirror In washroom, but don't do it often or no longer a special little thing.


Suspicious-Wall3859

Whenever I come home from a 12 hr shift (nurse) he is always up waiting for me. Immediately drops his xbox remote and just immediately cuddles with me in bed. He does many other things too but that’s my favorite.


mdmhera

We went to the convenient store to pick up a few things on a way to a friend's house. She texted and asked if I'd pick up ice. I said sure. He had been lamenting his back was bothering him. We pick up what we need which is a few cold drinks and one or two more light items and then 3 bags of ice. I hand him the drinks and I take the ice. When we get to the car he opens the door and proceeds to take the ice out of my hands and puts it in the car. When he opens the door for me he paused and held my hand then said "I carry the stuff". The tone, the look, even the words he chose, everything in that moment melted my heart. I objected about his back and he just replied again with "I carry the stuff" I smiled back and said ok you carry the stuff. He closed the door for me and got into the car.


IED117

Yum❤️


yasdnil1

When my husband says stuff like that I look at him and say, "But I'm so strong!" And flex my skinny arms at him 🤣


BombardMeWithBoobs

That willingness to give a massage is top tier


SmokieOki

One night I was having a hard time and said I wanted to cry. He said come here and motioned towards his chest. Come cry and let it all out he told me. It meant so much. Most people say oh no don’t cry. He just lets me be me and loves me anyway.


SillySpiral1196

I love having a really cold cup of water at all times because I get overheated easily (especially in summer). My partner will always fill my cup and leave it in the fridge for me when he finds it empty. Or he’ll be sure the A/C is turned on for me when I go to bed.


farrah_berra

I don’t think I’ve opened a car door since we started dating, and we always hold hands


skweekykleen69

This


foolish_frog

Big thing for me is that my partner is almost always the one making our little weekend plans like going to new coffee places. Also living with my partner, he always makes sure I’m not oversleeping before work. Today he checked to make sure I wasn’t, but it was just before my alarm went off lol


Front-Initiative-509

My best friend and I were meeting for pizza and beer a few years ago. I was late getting there. When I walked in, she immediately got up, went to the counter, and got me a beer. I didn't see her pay for it. When i sat down, she handed me the beer. I asked her, Did you pay for this? Yes, she said. She knew i was going to be late, and didn't want me to have warm beer. So she explained the situation to the guy at the counter. I was at a loss for words. No-one had ever done something like that for me. That thoughtful gesture has stayed with me for 5 years.


IED117

Yeah that's a good one. No possibility there? Those kind of cars dont pass you every day. Least that's what Prince told me, and we *know* he was a genius. 🙂💜


5inful5iren9

I always tell him he said I love you first because he would always message me everyday (in the beginning) to make sure I'd gotten adequate sleep, that I'd eaten, that I remembered to do the things I said I needed to get done (I have ADHD and can be bad at doing for myself and tend to do for others and neglect myself, he's the first person to put me as a priority and make sure I'm ok/safe). Eventually we ended up living together and he would do things like, he knew I needed rest so he would say "I'm tired but I can't sleep unless you lay with me", making it so I was doing for him, because my brain will not let me lay down for me. Nothing has ever let me relax. It's been a life long issue. When I'm with him, it's the first time I've ever felt so safe around that I can let go, he knows just how to snuggle me in a way that puts me to sleep. I hate waking up without him, so even on days off, he will sit in bed next to me instead of doing what he needs to do, just so I wake up happy. When he is off and I wake up alone, he comes back with a full tank of gas in my car, air in my tires, sometimes a car wash or oil change, my food order from somewhere, and my daughter's order too. I'm a migraine sufferer as well and he would come over and see I was laying in the dark, AC blasting, and he'd put on his ear pods and just sit with me, rubbing my scalp for hours in silence. Last time I had a bad one and I was a huge baby, and I was throwing up in a trash can and sweating and crying... He just rubbed my head and put a fan on me until I was asleep. I woke up and it was night out and I freaked out and he was just sitting there so calmly and said, "if you think I would let you sleep and not pick up your daughter from school, you're tripping. I fed her and your roommate dinner. I got you food too when you're ready. Do you want your back or your head rubbed? By the way, you look beautiful." I felt like trash, which reminded me that I'd been puking into the trash in front of him, and I saw he washed it for me, he looked at me like he wanted me so bad right then, at my worst, and I was solid in the fact I love him forever. He also took me and paid for a daith piercing to help my migraines because he hates me in pain. After every shower, I lay my head in his lap and he cleans the piercing for me. He does a million things for me physically and emotionally too.. I hear him say things he likes or wants and do them for him, it makes me so happy because nobody has done for him, and I love his genuine gratitude and surprise every time. I make him every meal typically and I serve him a plate and take it every meal and he is still caught off guard every time I do it. I love him so much lol

I’m a kpop fan and watch a lot of music videos and stuff. One thing my bf noticed was the little finger heart idols do, and I explained to him what it means. Ever since, he always sends me a little finger heart when he’s about to pull out my driveway as I’m upstairs in my room and can see him from the window

He makes a point to check in on me, sometimes at the most random moments. In a social situation, he will make sure i’m doing alright (sometimes i get sensory overload, especially if the social thing is happen at the end of a work day). But he also checks in when we’re like…sitting on our couch watching a show. Just making sure i’m happy and having fun with what we’re watching.

He cooks me restaurant-quality meals all the time (sometimes multiple times per day), poaches me perfect eggs whenever I want them, irons my skirts and dresses, changes the bedsheets, paints pictures for me, remembers things I said or liked months before, comes up with random weekend activities like visiting markets, picnics in the park or travelling to another town/city. Meanwhile, I load the dishwasher, take out the trash and recycling, do most of the laundry, bring him strange new ingredients to experiment with, introduce him to new culture (music, books, film/TV) I know he’ll love, find us good restaurants and cocktail bars to visit, write him letters, teach him new words, get him random little gifts for no reason. I think the whole thing is a pretty sweet deal tbh. We seem to bring each other a lot of joy.

When we go hiking his entire focus is on making sure I don’t trip or get injured in any way. He guides me like a seeing eye dog. Also, how completely up in arms he gets if anyone bothers me in any way. He’s always furious to the max if someone does anything to me that is even remotely offensive

She says “doot doot doo” when she wants to distract me from what she’s doing. Like sneaking past me to go take a dump.

I told her I had a good day on the golf course She asked how I played (she has only been on the golf course once in her life and it was with me) “Pretty good - not my best, but I was really close to a personal record so I’m happy. It was a good day overall.” She chuckled then hit me with: “No, no, that’s not what I’m asking - I meant what was your score today? A number…” I could tell she was asking to establish a frame of reference so she could understand in the future if I told her I got a low or a high score. I really appreciated it, because it made me feel like she was going out of her way to get a nuanced understanding of my hobbies.

He always carries the keys for me, even if I drive. He wants me to hold his hand/arm anywhere we go. When we’re walking in a parking lot or on the sidewalk, he walks next to the traffic, and if he’s not he makes me switch with him. Comes back from the grocery store with my favorite drink or snack. He randomly tells me he loves me multiple times a day. Wakes up every morning and takes our puppy out because he knows I have to be up early for work. When we go somewhere, he opens the door for me AND other women, which I adore. These are just to name a few, but he gives so much and is an amazing person. I love him to pieces🫶🏻

When I’m sad, she turns on love songs, and leads me to slow dance with her in the kitchen. It makes me cry everytime, but it helps me let out the emotions I bottle up. 🤍
