The nice things he does
Comments

My boyfriend does lots of things for me that I really appreciate!
He makes me gorgeous dinners-His steak is legendary
Even if he is broke he tries to treat me, even just a chocolate bar which I think is so thoughtful.
He takes care of me when I am sick-He gives me lots of tissues when I have a cold, because I normally run out :rolleyes: When I had the flu one weekend he walked up to my house (an hours walk from his house) with some chicken soup
He buys me flowers and chocolate for no reason other than he thinks women should get them every now and then!
The best of all I think was that when he was depressed he said I was the best thing in his life, and that I helped him to see the light at the end of the tunnel.0 -
I love this thread
Well, he does a lot for me...
-He puts up with my grumbles and random stories about work etc.
-He let me teach him how to cook and now does a great attempt at recreating those meals and even manages to time the cooking so that it's done as soon as I arrive home.
-He brushes my hair for me when it's all tangled from the wind and I find it very relaxing.
-He buys me all sorts of fancy foods that suit my diet as well as his.
-He texts me a "goodnight" everynight, with love.
-He doesn't get angry when I try to get him out of bed early in the weekend.
-He knows how to make me smile whenever I am stressing out.
-He is always there for me, whenever, night or day. I could ring him up in the middle of the night to say I was feeling sick and he would not mind at all. Not one complaint.
Ah, he's great
We are all very lucky.0 -
He is very affectionate.
He took time off work to look after me when I was sick.
He is incapable of getting angry at me – even when I deserve it.
He always holds my hand.
He always helps with cleaning and cooking.
To do a Bridget Jones ''He likes me just the way I am''
Here's one I am uber-thankful for – If he sees a spider in the house, he will creep around quietly trying to catch it and get rid of it, before I see it ( I am terrified of them
).
Ah yes, am feeling all loved-up now

He gets on a plane to come see me whenever he can, in a long distance relantionship and he hates flying!
He meets me at the airport when I fly to him with a bottle of diet coke and a bag of maltesers, two of my favourite things
He sends me lovely texts reminding me how much he loves and misses me every day
He gets on with my friends and family, sometimes they aren't the easiest people to get to know sometimes
He gets my brand of crazy and loves that I'm as much of a geek as him, but in different ways
He is determined to teach me how to drive
He makes me happy 0 -

You all have superior boyfriends. Do they have any brothers?[/SIZE]
Yes but his brothers are gob****es, I really got the best of the bunch from that family. 0 -

Ooh this is a lovely thread.
My husband is super:
- He tells me at least twice a day that he loves me and I'm beautiful.
- He brings me tea and biccies when I'm watching my soaps
- He is FULLY convinced that I am brilliant at anything I try to do.
- He is normally home before me in the evenings and everyday he comes to the front door to greet me when I get home. (I find this particularly sweet.)
- He runs my baths for me.
- He's so gentle and loving with the cat - it's adorable.
- I'm a terrible cook, but he always pretends whatever I make is nice and eats it going "mmmm" - he'll be serious about it but I just laugh.
- He always helps my sister and mother out with 'man' stuff like lifting / moving heavy things as they both live on their own.
- I've only ever seen him get really mad on a few rare occassions and all of them were because someone did / said something against me.
- he tries to fold my underwear before putting it away from the laundry basket as he knows this is what I do (yes I know I'm anal!)
- he buys me the biggest easter egg he can find at easter.
what a guy........speechless. you lucky woman. 0 -

I love this thread
When I'm upset and crying, he pulls me onto his lap and holds me like a baby and kisses the tears away from my cheeks
He always wakes up before I do, and when I can eventually open my eyes, he's propped up on one elbow, smiling at me adoringly
He picks me up at concerts because I'm so short I can rarely see what's going on, even though he has a bad back
He strokes my side really gently when I'm going to sleep and sings love songs to me very quietly
He washes my hair for me
He tries to pick out clothes for me in shops... frequently diabolical looking ones, but he tries so hard that I always try them on!
He carries me home when my high heels hurt my feet
He lets me go out with my girlfriends and never hassles me about being home late, being too sloshed, etc
All the cards he gives me are handmade
He writes me spontaneous love letters
He buys me little presents to cheer me up when I feel down
He rubs my tummy if I feel ill and encourages me to "just have a little sip of water, fairy, or you'll get dehydrated and feel even more sick"
Traipses around art galleries with me and makes appropriate noises of approval even though I know he's bored beyond belief
Tells me he loves the strangest things about me- freckles, my knees, etc
Appreciates everything I do for him and thanks me for it all the time
Tells me everyday that he loves me and wishes he could express it better
Doesn't mind when I "have a headache" and just want a shoulder rub and a cuddle
Kills spiders for me
Notices little girly things like when I give my eyebrows a new shape or use a different lipstick
Constantly tells me I look like beautiful celebrities, and then says "but you're so much more beautiful and unique"
Sings loudly when he's naked- it makes him feel "free" :P
I'll stop here or I'll be thinking of things all night. I'm a lucky lucky woman 0 -

Vomit
Sorry, not feeling well after reading this thread for some reason :pac:
I hate to say it, but me too!! I posted here about my boyfriend so I do appreciate lovely gestures and thoughtful presents, etc. But God personally I couldn't handle some of these, it would just be a bit too much for me- of course if you're happy then good for you and make sure you hold on to him!! But just personally I wouldn't be able for the tummy rubs/picking out clothes for me thing.
Then again, the way my boyfriend is, there's no fear of him being anything like that any time soon!!! Maybe we're more suited to each other than I thought!!0 -

I was thinking the same thing! Some of them go way overboard and I'd be revolted if he was singing love songs or washing my hair :eek:0 -

But one morning after staying at his house he went to a shelf and took a little back box down from it and handed it to me (no, not an engagement ring, we're waaaaaaaaay off that yet, if ever!)- I opened the box and inside was his medal that he won in a soccer league last year and he said that he wanted me to have it cos I've always been so good about him playing matches/going training at weekends when we only get to see each other.
That mightn't seem like a lot to people who have posted here about foot massages/talking in the shower/chocolate during their periods- but for this guy that was a huge deal and one of the many reasons why I love my strange but lovely boyfriend.
I'm sorry if this is dragging up an old thread- but today I'm posting back that medal to my now ex-boyfriend and I just couldn't help remembering writing that post and how happy I was at the time, and how lovely some of the responses I got were.
We broke up 5 weeks ago, and turns out that committment phobia caught up on us. The medal still remains the most special thing anyone has ever given me and I guess I feel that if I can't have him anymore, I can't have the medal anymore either. I still love him as much as I did that morning he gave it to me.
As I said, sorry to drag this up, it's just a really sad day for me & I just wish I could go back to that day

Oh my god, you poor thing.
It's rotten I know....let yourself grieve for a bit and take it easy.

Maybe sending the medal back with the words of your original post might make him realise what he has got to lose. By no means a relationship expert,but hey just a thought. Good luck.

A few years ago something happened at school and it really got to me and it was really late one night, gone midnight I think, and I was texting him and I was really upset and less than ten mins later there was a knock on my bedroom window
He came down and he just lay there with me until like 4am after I'd gotten a bit of sleep and calmed down. For four hours he just sat there in the dark. We're always on and off and at times he can be seriously difficult....but I'll never ever forget that0 -
A few times I've been horribly stressed over family or work stuff, and my boyfriend asks one question: What's wrong? I can tell him everything or I can tell him nothing; either way, he knows that once I'm finished talking all he has to do is hold me. It's so simple but it makes such a huge difference
He also strokes my hair when I'm sleepy, it makes me drop off better than any sleeping pill could!0 -

Love this thread!!
He loves me for who i am
He's never mad at me, no matter what stupid things i do aka washing his ipod, nearly crashing his car and not being able to make his birthday cos of college
He brings me breakfast in bed when we're hungover
He looks after our baba dog rebel when i'm at work
He brings me home the paper everyday cos he knows i love reading
When he wants to play his xbox he asks permission first
When my granda died,he died on the same day as our anniversary and the OH never once said anything wrong during the whole time my granda was ill. He stuck through the crappy nights when i didn't want to talk about anything and got upset over nothing.
Don't know what i'd do without him but i hope i can do exactly the same for him if he ever needed it0 -

Really cute thread here guys! soooo sweet
He remembers the very first things we ever said to each other the night we met.
He texts me sweet messages when were out together but doesnt tell me so when we get home or wake up the next morning i have a cute text saying "love you my sexy sealion" or something like that.
When Bebo was popular around the time we met we would have long long conversations on it while he was in work and me in college and he would leave me all his "bebo luv" everyday.
Yes he does ask permission to play xbox! lol
He told me, after being together just over 2 months, that he will be with me as long as he will have me.
Even when hes annoyed or pi**ed off, with me or whatever, he always touches me sweetly or makes me something to tell me that its just a row and he just needs time to himself! took me ages to realise that lol
He hates apologising to anyone including me, but he always will if he has done something wrong or he has made me upset over something he did.
He surprise me with trips to the cinema (which he HATES but knows i LOVE).
For our one month together celebration he took me out to the Westin for a fancy meal and cocktails.
For our 2.5 months celebration he brought me to the Westin hotel as I had never been in a hotel before.
For our 5 months together he brought me into town and to Hallmark and bought me the biggest ever Me to You bear never minding the cost.
We have just as much fun staying in having beers, watching Family Guy etc as when we go out.
We never run out of things to talk about and always have fun days and nights together.
He remembers certain movies/makeup/perfumes/songs which i like and names of my best friends ive had before.
He cooks yummy stuff for me and wont let me cook when hes not there in case i burn myself
He makes my cuddly toys talk and personifies them which he knows i LOVE!
He brings me on some lovely drives and even brings me to McDs even though he hates eating junk food -he loves his healthy diet.
He calls me by cute nicknames and takes on my people who look like animals thinking very seriously, Im a sealion and hes a Panda.
He always wakes me up with a kiss on the hand before he gets up for work.
He always gives me a big hug when he comes in from work.
He puts up with my Ben Stiller crush and even lets me watch a movie of his on TV if theres nothing else on!
He always kisses me goodnight.
He always promises he will never break my heart and if he thinks he has said something really bad to upset me then he kisses my heart and says "is that crack healed now?"
He always finds certain celebrities who he thinks i look like and whenever they are on TV he says "wow shes hot" and then says "looks like youuuuuu".
Always knows what to say, seriously he should work for a valentines card making factory.
For our 6 months he brought me in to town and bought me a gorgeous expensive black dress which i liked for ages.
He went to see Mamma Mia with me 4 times in the cinema, i loved it so much.
He can tell me my 5 top movies.
Hes completely 100% truthful to me about everything, and I am to him.
He always gives me the best advice on what to wear when we go out, and when were out he always says that im the best looking or "funkiest" (our word) girl here.
He always makes my birthday extra special in some way.
He knows what i mean when i call him hunky or dishy, my words lol.
He always thinks of little or big traditions for us to keep doing.
He always thinks of little things to tell me because he knows what i love to hear.
When he was staying in my place he always tried to help out as much as he could around the house which he didnt have to at all.
When i feel sick after a night out he always cuddles me till i feel better.
We have great shopping days out together.
Hes great in bed, i mean GREAT and up for trying anything!:):D
Hes my best friend in the whole world and i could tell him anything.
Hes my soulmate.
Theres loads and loads more but thats all i can think of now:)
Together 2.5 years, hopefully forever!:) 0 -

Christ ... I'm all for the odd romantic gesture etc, but I honestly could not put up with it if my boyfriend did some of what's on this thread! :eek:
In fact, I've broken up with boyfriends in the past for being sickeningly sappy! Reading some of these posts, I'm sorry but I have this image in my head of the boyfriends in question being love-sick little puppies!
I suppose different people look for different things in relationships though.
(And by the way, some of the posts are very sweet - there's just a couple that made me go :eek: !)0 -
Can't be bothered writing big long list, but recently my boyfriend did the sweetest things ever, he knows me so well!
We were flying home separately from Vegas (I stayed on a few days with a friend), he flew home first, and when I arrived home jetlagged and wrecked he told me he had bought me a surprise on his way back.
He had bought me a bottle of Molson Canadian Beer in JFK airport, because he knows it's my fave beer in the world, from when I lived in Toronto a few years back. It meant so much that he had remembered the "maple leaf label" I have reminisced about, and actually gone to the bother of picking it up when he was hungover and broke on his way home 0 -

I'm sorry, but I've just gotta ask about this one. :eek: Are you serious? And you actually see this as a good thing? Are you not worried about how you would ever cope if he wasn't around to cook for you?0 -
