What was the most recent thing your SO did that made you realize how awesome they are and how grateful you are?

I got a cookie care package in the mail, and with it a card. The back of the card read:

Look at the cookies, now back at the card, now back at the cookies, now back at the card. Sadly, the card does not taste as good as the cookies. But you have a girl who loves you enough to send you both.

My mom was recently put in the hospital and requires intensive care. My significant other drove me the 2 1/2 hours to my hometown on a Thursday. I had just recently got a new place to live and needed to be out by that Sunday. On Friday night my significant other secretly stole my keys out of my pocket. I get a text on Sat morning that she is in my apt. getting the rest of my stuff moved out with a few of my friends so that I could be with my mom.

She is amazing.

edit: to appease the S.O. crowd.

There's a lot I can choose from - being a great cook, giving great blowjobs, showing off her awesome norks, being patient with me (often more than I deserve) and so on, but one small thing she did the other day sticks with me - she refilled my water glass with her own while we were eating dinner, without me noticing or asking.

To explain, I go through a lot of water and usually have to sit for a while with an empty glass while waiting for the waiter to notice; with spicy food that can really suck. I was suffering quietly and she just reached over and poured her drink into mine, completely naturally and without thinking about it. When I noticed I just looked at her and told her just how much I love her and how awesome she was.

It's sappy, I know, and probably doesn't make any sense to others, but to me it was just a little token of awesome.

OP's comment made me smile. That's awesome.

I told my boyfriend about a set of home videos that exist from when I was a kid, and from when my mother was alive (she died when I was 12). I opened up to him that they were all I had left of her, and I was terrified of them getting destroyed.

So he went and bought video capture devices and is going to put them all on DVD for me. I can't even articulate how much it means to me.

Even though that's a pretty big thing, he makes me feel very happy everyday. All I need is a smile and a hug and a kiss and I realise how awesome he is. He's a very kind, caring man and I'm very lucky.

She doesn't mind that I like being the little spoon when we sleep, and actually encourages it; she says that I protect her all day, so she loves to hold me at night. She then rubs my back till I fall asleep.

Downside: falling asleep without her is nearly impossible.

We were sitting in the common room at my college during lunch. She nudges me and points at this girl with massive tits, bending over to talk to someone, boobs laid out perfectly, and tells me to "Have a good perve at those."

I love how she feels secure enough with me to actively get me to enjoy the sight another good pair of breasts.

Last night my girlfriend came over after dinner and took the computer out of my lap and started making out with me. One thing lead to another, and I found out she was wearing lingerie, making it obvious she planned this sex-attack. Awesome way to start the evening.

Then this morning, I walked into the bathroom, locked the door, turned on the shower and started to pee in the toilet while waiting for it heat up. Suddenly I heard CLICK and the door opened, scaring the living dogshit out of me. I jumped up while peeing, and there was my girlfriend, laughing her ass off, standing in the doorway with a tiny screwdriver she had used to pop the lock. She had assumed I was in the shower already since I turned it on. Something about the image of her in her lingerie standing in the doorway laughing with a tiny screwdriver in her hand still makes me laugh :).

This thread really makes me appreciate my girlfriend. Thanks, reddit. :)

It's difficult to think of all the awesome things she does for me. She buys me meals when I'm out of money; she makes me eggs in the morning when we have time; she leaves silly things for me in places I won't immediately find them. She makes joke facebook albums of google search screenshots about me. She gives me sexual surprises all the time, and I never feel anywhere close to sexually unsatisfied with her as a result. She knows just as much about computers and technology as I do and never makes me feel like I'm dating a girl who regards computers as a "guy thing".

Perhaps most importantly, though, she engages in critical thought with me all the time; I couldn't seriously date someone who was incapable of critical thought. Her intelligence is the sexiest thing about her, which is saying something because she has an amazing ass and fantastic tits. She's the most accomplished English major in her class at a fairly rigorous college and has won awards for it. One time I was having a bad day and she said to me, verbatim: "Oh love, something must really be wrong with you today. Look at the spelling and diction in your predicate." With that kind of intellect, every other thing here is just a very, very good bonus.

Lastly: she upvotes my comments with her reddit account and occasionally wears the reddit shirt I bought a long time ago.

I went backpacking this weekend and when I returned, I discovered that my fiancee had sneaked into my place and did my laundry and made my bed. There's nothing better than a fresh made bed after sleeping outdoors for a couple nights! This is just the most recent, she does amazing shit like this all the time.

Just yesterday my wife organized a coup to prevent a particularly acerbic individual from becoming president of the PTA. She knows several people who do not participate at all because of this one person, who has managed to consolidate a little power bubble around herself despite being so unpopular with most other parents and nearly all the teachers.

My wife has no desire to be president herself, but working behind the scenes she was able to find another willing candidate, and organize the necessary support to get her nominated. I know it's just PTA, but I never imagined she had it in her to conduct such political machinations.

I can think of a handful of things I've done recently, easily.

But this morning, I am struggling to think of anything she's done lately that made me think she was awesome. :(

I'm either unappreciative, or she isn't contributing.

Edit: Upon more reflection, the things I'm thinking of (that I've done) are small and normal occurrences (did her dishes, things for both of us like working on the house, etc). So she likely might think I haven't done anything for her. I will do something special for her this afternoon (flowers).

My girlfriend, who is training to become a nurse, noticed that I looked discolored. I hadn't been feeling well all week and she made me go to the hospital where they discovered a pretty serious infection that was causing my body to self-destruct. She more or less saved me a great deal of pain and possibly an organ. Needless to say, im pretty grateful.

In no particular order, my wife of nearly 8 years:

She's smarter than me
She's incredibly kind. Although she's really shy, she'll do anything for pretty much anybody.
She's completely self-reliant.
She thinks it makes perfect sense that we both sleep with other people.
She's bisexual, which has led to some of the funnest adventures a man can possibly have.
She stays in great shape...
She lets me do the things I like to do without constantly bothering me to show her attention (see: self-reliant).

She's just incredibly awesome in every way:)

I was on a 9 hour road trip to somewhere obscure and became geographic potential localizationally challenged (lost). Phoned up my wife. She gave me three sets of directions that would get me to where I was going, and made all three sets detailed and memorable. I chose fastest but hardest to follow, following little tiny backroads. Best choice and best directions I've ever had. She's awesome.

Last night we found out that my S.O.'s father was coming to come eat dinner with us tonight. I love cooking and entertaining but our apartment is a wreck and I don't want his father to see it like this. It was late last night when we heard so I asked him to wake me up today at 5:30 when he usually gets up so I could clean up. This morning I woke up at my usual 7:30 with him smiling over me and saying, "Don't worry about cleaning up. I'll come home early and do it." He rocks!

asamorris · 1 year

most recent...hmmm.

Well, this morning it was particularyl cold in our house, and we decided to take a shower. Our shower is small, so we kind of have to take turns under the water. She was under for a minute, then I took my turn, and I turned and looked at her all soaked but not under the water, and she looks up at me almost shivering with these big doe eyes and in the voice, says "autowash".

I had a gallstone and had to go to the ER. Prior to that, my boyfriend had made 2 trips to Walgreens for Tums and Mylanta, as well as a pit stop to Wendy's for chicken nuggets. (Pregnancy food cravings/aversions are hard to ignore) He also came home with a Get Well Soon balloon. The balloon had an adverse effect and made the abdominal pain absolutely unbearable.

Around 9pm he drove me to the hospital. He stayed at my side the whole time. We didn't get back home until 2am. He had to be up at 5am for work. He didn't complain a single bit and was super supportive the whole time.

He also makes the best fettuccine alfredo in the universe. My love for fettuccine is renowned throughout my family - I won't order anything other than that at an Italian restaurant.

He's a geologist and is super patient with all my childish rock-related questions. The other night I was sleep-talking and asked him to identify something for me. He woke up and was about to help me out until he realized that I was 100% unconscious.

My wife had surgery last week, and was fairly preoccupied the day before thinking about the risks and long recovery ahead. That morning as we drove to the hospital she said to me, "If, God forbid, things don't go right, the kids will have a hard time understanding why I did this to them. I left letters to each of them in the drawer next to our bed".

That night when she was recovering in her hospital room, she told me I could read them if I wanted. My first instinct was to leave them alone and be happy that they'd never be read, but I couldn't help myself. They were the most beautiful words I've ever read. Of all the things on her mind the night before, the thought of leaving her family behind was what troubled her the most. A pretty powerful reminder to me of just how awesome a person she is.

(Sorry, a bit of a downer, but I just had to tell someone)

Sounds lame, but she puts my contacts in in a morning. I have problems with it and it can take up to an hour including 'hunt the lost contact', 'reclean' etc. etc.

My husband just stays saturated in awesome. Tomorrow night, he is bringing home a little milk cow for me, from 300 miles away.

Back when we thought we had a good chance of hurricane Andrew hitting the Houston area (after it had already gone through FL), I was trying to catch my ducks from the fleet. He was using the towboat to chase them up on the bank where I could catch them.

There have been so many things, most of them near epic. But that of all of them stands out so much - it was about 11 pm, the ducks didn't want caught, and here he was using an 800 hp boat that was about 30-35 feet higher than the waterline, and using the spotlights and floodlights to help me round them up.

But he rarely walks out of the house without bringing something awesome back in, and he is a gentleman, always.

I gave this as an example of how he is so considerate of my feelings, and rude instances by others.

Gives me cuddles before I go to sleep even it cuts right into the middle of his evening since I fall asleep before him.

I hadn't seen her for over a week since we're both quite busy with school etc, we both live with our parents. I often pass out after school since I'm so tired for some reason or another. Saturday evening she surprise-woke me up and crawled into bed with me. She puts up with my laziness, and we're a total geeky couple. It's these little things she does all the time that make me realize how much I love her. She is awesome, and easily the best girlfriend ever.

Mine does all kinds of awesome stuff from getting me little kitchen do-dads (I love to cook), to flashing her boobs at me randomly and also in some pretty risky situations and all kinds of other stuff.

Just today she called me into the bedroom so I could take pics of her to post on gw... using a throwaway of course!

After all the bad relationship threads on here, this really helps point out how lucky I feel to have such an awesome, caring, thoughtful and horny girlfriend.

Thanks for making my day, reddit!
