    My OH isn't too fond of saying those "3 little words" too often but sometimes he does something and it just makes me feel all overwhelmed and soppy.

    I was lying with my back to him in bed last night and woke up at about 1 am to find him just lying there stroking my hair. Just made me feel loved, so it got me to thinking about all the little seemingly insignificant things he does and it really put me in a good mood today, feeling very much like showing my appreciation so I might even buy him a little pressie on my way home from work.

    So in the interest of getting everyone else on a love buzz today... what does your OH to do that makes you feel loved?

    Golly, cheesseball thread ahoy! :)

    There's lots of things my BF does that make me go all warm and squirmy inside. He always makes me laugh!
    Even when I'm feeling really down, he's just always there and says the things that no one else in the world could possibly say to make you feel better. If anyone else said them, i'd tell them to toss off. I guess I believe what he says so it's special!

    Also, if you poke him in between his eyebrows, he giggles like a girl. It's HILARIOUS! :D

    Is it just me who thinks that's a bit scary?

    Maybe just not your cup of tea? Some girls like it. Some lads like it. It can sometimes relax both partners.

    Personally I felt there was no need for your post in the first place. It might not be your type of thread so just stay out of it if it offends you so.

    Please don't attempt to derail the thread any further or infractions will be handed out.

    "Scary"

    judging by the number of Thanks for this post, I assume the number of social shut-ins is off the scale on the ladys forum...

    Personally if i start strokeing any part of my o/h during the night I am hopeing I am going to get a particular part stroked....

    But anyway back to the thread.... My other half just has to be herself for me to love her. The reason being she is extreamly affectionate and giddy and these are traits that i would never wish to loose.

    I once told me other half that if i was blind i would love her more because her sheer beauty distracts me now(and no POGTFO)

    But yes op its good to feel protected warm and loved...

    I agree. Any further not in the spirit of the thread or this forum type posts and the thread will be locked and bans handed out.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    personally, i love surprises but can't stand them at the same time cos the suspense kills me and i get so excited. He knows this and uses it to his advantage!

    He booked a holiday away for a week and told me a little bit each day, like what i would have to pack etc. Didn't find out where we were going til we got to the airport, so exciting!!
    He always tells me how i should eat a breakfast and i never do so sometimes when i'm leaving his house in the mornings, he puts coco pops into my bag when i'm not watching. it's awesome because i heart coco pops and only cereal i eat!

    My OH and I live at opposite sides of the country at the moment, and the TV in my apartment in Dublin hasn't been working for the past month. Every week, without me ever asking, he's been taping all the programmes that he thought I'd like to watch (with actual video tapes, he's a bogger, no Sky Plus!), and then when I'm home at weekends I've been spending my Sunday mornings watching them back all together.

    Also, he is the pickiest eater in the world (even pickier than me, and that's saying something!), but when we go to visit my farmer uncles, he makes a massive effort on the bacon and cabbage and turnip even though I know that it actually makes him feel physically ill.

    He tells me that I'm the best thing since sliced bread! :D

    There's lots and lots more, but I don't want to sound like a big sap. :o Suffice to say, he's a keeper!

    When I'm feeling stressed out or panicy he gives me good sensible advice without being patronising or unrealistic. Always calms me down when I feel like I have a plan!

    When I get a spoon hug in the middle of the night and a kiss on the shoulder and he's still mostly asleep :)

    And when he forwards me a link to funny cat pic in work to make me giggle :D

    Cute thread, makes me miss my boy as I haven't seen him for 6 weeks now and won't until early June :(

    He does little things, I found a list of things he did that I liked when we started going out, must pull it out for a reminisce.

    Loads of stuff....

    downloads shows I miss so I can watch them later, text me xxx regularly, cooks for me (superspecial meals), he bought me a book of Leonard Cohen poetry once. I didn't know he wrote poetry altough I really liked his songs, makes me hot waterbottles when I'm tired and cold (gets upset if I do it as its his job) and makes me laugh - a lot.

    However he also takes my head out of the clouds when I am being unreasonable which I need also. Everyother bf before him would let me away with murder. I love the fact he doesn't.

    My partner lives in the UK and I went over to visit him last weekend. He drove me an hour and a half to Edinburgh to get my flight home, my flight was cancelled 15 mins before the flight was due to depart. I called him to tell him the flight was cancelled and he drove all the way back to collect me :)
    He then booked a place for me on the Troon to Larne ferry as I had to get home on sunday, and knowing that I am nervous of boats, he gave me a UK mobile phone to use on the boat and talked to me for the two hour jorney to make sure that I was ok :)
