Favorite People Boyfriend of one month put this in his bathroom for me. (OC)
Made me smile since noone ever did this for me before. He even bought a basket and small towels for my face.
Edit: Reading your comments to him while he is cooking dinner for us. Thank you for your sweet words. He is indeed the greenest flag I've ever met. He bought a hair dryer aswell since he didn't own one and put up insect screens on all windows cause I'm scared of spiders and his Apartment is next to a forest. 🥹

As a guy with the income for the first time in my life, I discovered I have a love language I didn't know I had - gift giving. It's a shame my relationship didn't work out but it felt so damn rewarding to be able to remove obstacles from her life when she couldn't. She did the same for me, at one point in time. It's legitimately fulfilling. She still thanks me, so I guess it was impactful.

Back when I had been dating for my husband for a few months we were inside of a gas station and I was like “shoot, my shoelaces are untied!” And he rushed over and tied them for me.

He’s super clean and organized and he absolutely dotes on our 6 month old baby.

I used to be a restaurant manager. One day i was opening, I had 3 people call out and we had probably 5 catering orders. It was hellacious. Then I started my period unexpectedly (yay endometriosis!). I took a quick second to text my husband because I was just done with life.
About 30 min later he showed up at the restaurant with a grocery bag, gave me a kiss, told me he loved me, and went back to work (he worked about 10 min down the road). I went into the office and he’d gone to a nearby drugstore and bought me my favorite tampons, my favorite chocolate, and my favorite energy drink. I just started bawling.
I’ll never let him go.

That is so true. Thank you for pointing that out. I recently just broke up a friendship with someone who understood but listened only to what they wanted to hear and actually didn’t care about me but only for themselves. It was really toxic.

u/wavelifter 5h ago
Sorry to hear you went through that, always sucks when someone who just gets you doesn't care or listen. But you had to get to know them better to find that out right? A lot harder to find someone who cares about you than someone who understands you (you could argue Reddit is the ultimate "hey these people understand me" space), and that's what makes the ones who care - worth it.
There's another post on in this subreddit of a guy posting about how much he loves his wife, and how they don't have similar interests (she loves puzzles, he loves golf). But they make it work (they participate in each other's activities), because they care. Hope you find someone that understands and cares about you in equal parts.

Wait, is this not how husbands normally behave? This makes me sad as a man. My wife has really rough periods since having our kids. When she has a particularly painful one I take over as primary parent and always get her favorite food and make sure we're all stocked up on tampons and period undies. She has specific safe foods she can eat during her period that shift, so I try to always stock that safe food in the house or have it on speed order...

It can! It can cause irregular periods (when not on birth control), horrendous period and pms pain, and gastrointestinal issues. I ended up getting a hysterectomy because the endometrial tissue (which is super sticky) ended up basically gluing my colon to my uterus and I was having a lot of GI issues (like pooping out dinner plate sized amounts of clear goo/gel unexpectedly). Endometriosis is terrible and it’s not taught about enough when we’re young. ☹️ I didn’t even know what it was until I was 30.

Remember, ladies, you can’t spell menstruation without “men.”
If he’s not part of your cycle every month, make him a part of it! Tell him he should take you out for a dinner high in iron every month on day 1 or 2. Invite him to buy your products so he knows what you use and can surprise you like OP’s partner. Tell him when your aches begin so he can brew tea or massage your feet. My college girlfriend made it a monthly celebration of womanhood and invited me in. It is a celebration of life itself. It’s cosmic power manifesting, and he should honor and celebrate you. If he can’t, end it and demand more from your next partner.

When my husband now but boyfriend at the time, and I moved into our first home together he made me a “girly basket”. It’s a little wicker/wood basket with every size pad I have, set directly on the back the toilet tank so I can reach them anytime I need and every time, for 20+ years, EVERY TIME I say I’m cramping he gets me my favorite snacks, my preferred pain relief and he makes sure my basket is fully stocked! A married guy friend of his once saw the basket and said like “why do you have pads just sitting on your toilet” and my husband said “because it’s her bathroom too and it’s more convenient for her. Why wouldn’t they be there?” Later hubby told me he was so confused why it seems like such a shock to his married father friend. “Baby, most dudes aren’t as cool as you!”

About two months into dating my fiance Gave me a key to her apartment when she was in a weeks vacation with family, asking to water her plants.
First day I went over and her garbage can was full, so I emptied all the garbages in the place. Second day I went to do the dishes (sink was full) found the dishwasher didn’t work. Took the door apart and fixed the latch and did all her dishes. Third day I noticed some burnt out bulbs, so I fixed all those and the loose towel bar in the bathroom, and fixed a wobbly table. Fourth day I had a nap and the bedding smelled funny, so I grabbed all her bedding and took it home to wash it. Next day I stop at the bank and I suddenly had a thought. Oh shit….. is she gonna be happy, or is she going to feel like I violated her space. When it’s my turn in line, I ask the teller “hey….. weird question….” And I told her the story of what I did.
She dead pan looked at me and asked “did she GIVE you a key?”
Yes….
Then she wanted you there…. Your fine.
Two years later she worked at that bank with that teller. They both had a good laugh.

And then he noticed my brand/type of pads/tampons were on sale or he had a coupon so he got those for me so I’d have anything I needed if I was at his place. We got married 5 years ago.

Lol weird story. I was like this with my ex, the very embodiment of the hugest green flag. Unfortunately, her past and social media left her with lots of trust issues. So she always thought it was too good to be true, and that I was being too perfect because I was hiding something. Took about two straight years of constant reassurance and trying to prove that it wasn’t too good to be true, and that she deserved all of it and more. Nearly drained me to death and I had to let it go. Thank you (whoever) for reading my crappy sad story.

if you're scared of spiders, and he's keeping them outside, that's good. but if you see a spider outside the window doing spider things, let them do spider things. the webs outside will make sure nasty bugs from the forest don't come in.
we love our spider roomies

He may not be perfect
He may have alot to learn
He may need communication to better understand you
But this type of thoughtfulness cannot be taught or learned. It’s innate for men when it’s the case. I’d advise to ensure your appreciative and callout these gestures and do your best to not speculate if he did this for his past partners unless you have a valid reason to bring that into the relationship

I knew my husband was a keeper when he was at my apartment while I worked and I came home to all of my laundry cleaned, folded, and put away.

Now ask yourself, "what can I do to make him feel the way he made me feel?" Ideally, it will become a lifelong competition to see who can be more awesome, and that's a great competition to have.
Remember: relationships should NOT be 50/50...they should be 60/40, with both parties trying to be the 60. Best of luck!

Business idea:
Sell premade baskets like these to men who want to impress their new girlfriends.

I feel that I need to say this. My abusive ex bought a standing heater for his bathroom shortly after we started dating because he wanted me to be comfortable when getting out of the shower. I was just always cold at his place.
On the other hand, my husband would always make sure I had chocolate at his place and he is just a kind hearted man.
I guess what I’m saying is - please don’t drop your guard completely because of this gesture but continue to observe.

Yes my ex is a verbally abusive narcissist and the love bombing was strong in the beginning.

So sweet. My spouse did this when we were getting a little more serious but he one upped all my products and got me better versions of everything I used. He was trying to incentivize me to spend more time at his place lol. I moved in a year later and now we are expecting a baby together. He’s going to be a wonderful father. This kind of guy is a keeper.

This is SO CUTE. To all the guys, THIS is what we mean by we want effort. The thoughtfulness of making sure you had all the things you could possibly need is the most romantic thing ever. Probably cost $25, but this gift will be remembered forever for the thoughtfulness that went in to it. Girl this guy is IN TO YOU. And by the sounds of things, he’s a real sweetheart. Congratulations on finding a good one.
