Recently, Twitter user @AfroFlytina asked fellow women to spread some much-needed positive vibes by sharing stories of what helped them figure out that their partners genuinely love them. The post has quickly gone viral and it currently has over 77k likes along with more than 17k quote tweets.

"It was the first time I truly felt seen". Wow. What an amazing person in general. Mental health is never given the credence physical health is!
Chew ice. I read that here on BP and told my wife. She had one a few days later and I brought here a cup of ice. It works.
It worked for her. The great thing about this guy is he said, "Let's find what works for you."
Load More Replies...This is so beautiful! I experienced something similar with my boyfriend. I passed through some difficulties in my personal life at the same time we were dating. I was experiencing unexpected repetitive "anxiety attacks": sudden intense crying episodes that could last for minutes or hours. Very tough. I was talking to him on the phone and suddenly got one. I also hung up and explain my situation in a text message. He texted back saying to give him the chance to be there for me and asked me if there was anything that could help me to feel better. How wonderful! He even witnessed some bad attacks and just held me and hugged me without saying anything. Just was there for me. He is a wonderful man.
Imagine loving someone wholeheartedly and you find out from people around you that your partner is a filthy liar and cheater,I was in this situation few weeks ago and I must admit it was a very hard time for me. l heard rumors from close friends that my spouse is cheating on me,i couldn't believe cos of the love I have for him, but my friend suggested that I should find out and clear my doubt then. I tried some videos on YouTube. All efforts are abortive. Until I came across this hacker, l can call him my Messiah because he saved my marriage literally.

It's amazing how just quietly helping out makes a world of difference
The night my mom met my dad, she saw him take a new mom's trash out. Decided then and there to date him.
My boyfriend helped me clean up my depression messy apartment, pack and move this week all in 2 days without complaining once. He constantly reassured me everything would get done and made sure I ate, stayed hydrated and took my meds through it all. I already knew he is the love of my life, but that made me know without a doubt he will do literally anything for me.
That's a real, live, grownup thoughtful human being. You LUCKY WOMAN, you!
All you see is he bought some flowers and candy. You missed the part where he attentively listend to her and realized what her favorite flowers and candy are. Then he made sure to buy those items because he knew she liked them. He then listened to her vent instead of just telling her how to fix the problem like most men do because men naturally want to solve problems. Then he drove all the way to her house with her favorite things. There's a lot of little details and those are very important in a relationship.
Load More Replies...I have every reason to do what I had to do, if you were in my shoes! I couldn't take it any longer. I had spent over a thousand dollars on medication and he couldn't stop it. he was a drug addict i realised a bit late through his text messages and recent call records to different hard drug dealers. he had gotten to the point of selling them for a living and i noticed he is always spending lavishly and never thought of our kids and I thought that was enough until he brought a woman to our bed while i was away to satisfy his sexual urge. I got all the information i needed from him through the great services of fredvalcyberghost@gmail.com and you can text or call him on +1- (423)641 1452 or on WhatsApp +1 (470) 777-2098 i won't have known if i didn't take this good step. I ended it when we got to court with the concrete evidence I got!. I am happy to live a life without him unnecessary acts
I love you is the translation and the language is Igbo
Load More Replies...Hi Chibuikem 🖐️🖐️. Fellow Nigerian here and I'm Yoruba.
Load More Replies...I love you is the translation and the language is Igbo
Load More Replies...That's so much effort. Truly a fine man. What did she do so he realized she loved him?
He suddenly developed a cold attitude. He always has an excuse when you ask him to do things, he starts ignoring my calls and Just when he texts back it's usually one word replies or vague answers. Something will always come up when you try to plan a thing in advance, ex you ask him to do something and no matter how random of a time you asked him he responded back saying Oh I can't I have plans or we'll figure out something and then not respond like you never asked him a thing! At this point, no one needs to tell you your spouse is cheating big time, but you can remotely access a phone and other PC's through the help fredvalcyberghost@gmail.com and call or text on +1- (423)641 1452 or on WhatsApp +1(470) 777-2098
My hubby does this with me. I fall asleep and he carry's on talking to me. Tells me how much he loves me and what I mean to him and even kisses my forehead. He tells me about it the next morning. Btw, he also take pics of me while I'm asleep. His phone if full of pics of me looking like I'm passed out. Once I said that I looks ugly in some of those pics, he said," You don't see yourself like I see you, to me You're always beautiful."
Yes!! my hubby has taken some not too pretty pictures of me and refuses to get rid of them... saying the same thing your hubby says...
Load More Replies...At first, I read it as "fight every night",. I'm thinking, "why are they together, if they fight every night?" Eventually, like you, I realised they meant facetime!
Load More Replies...Is it only me who thinks this guy sounds like an absolute creep? Sure he might try to use his mindcontroll for good now as far as she has noticed, but still...who knows what's to come
Wonderful gesture, horrible that the healthcare system there made it necessary
Great human but sad you both live in a country where it’s necessary to have your own insurance or through employment making being ill a hazard and possibly bankrupting experience for the persons that have limited financial means or bad employment conditions…. Most of Europe is better at safeguarding their population from being financially ruined due to health issues.
I caught my husband so many times through his chats and all about cheating on me and when i told him he always claims that he has changed and all..right now he hides his phone from me and i still guess he is cheating cause i could not break into his phone any more so i was referred to a hacker named Scot who i ran to for help and this hacker was able to break into his phone and proved me with the access to my husband phone without my spouse knowing about the hack..right in my phone i have all my husband phone daily activities in my phone i got to read all his chats, text, calls, whats-app, Facebook, and many more this hacker is really great thank you. Did you find this review helpful? contact him via fredvalcyberghost@gmail.com or on whatsap+14707772098 and You can text or call him on+14236411452
As a Black Woman, it's an inconvenience unless it's done on purpose. Our hair takes hours to dry. 24hrs for me if I don't do anything to it.
Load More Replies...You don't need a one time grand gesture, it's in the little everyday things :)
I'm seriously impressed! I dated a few guys (not at the same time) that said they would quit of their own free will but I found out later they lied. To actually do it is fan-flippin-tastic!
She didn't ask him to quit, she told him that she didn't want to be with someone who smoked so HE made the decision to quit.
Load More Replies...Yes. Coming out of a 5-year relationship with a narcissist, I'm sad that I'm suspicious of all of these gestures. :(
Load More Replies...i am all for showing as a guy i think its important but there is such a things being too emotional
Same. And when he had his surgery, I was right there for him too. I still think he does more, tho! He'll come in the room I'm in, just to check and see if I need anything. Sigh, just him....
When you have to go to the ER and/or have surgery you know! My husband brought me food after my appendectomy because they didn't get my solid food order in soon enough. And then when you have foot surgery and need someone to help pull you up off the toilet...😬
That's the best kind. When you can go on caring for someone after a breakup.
My ex girlfriend and I are like this. We are still really good friends over a year after we broke up.
Load More Replies...To whoever downvoted this (I upvoted), true love can be platonic. It doesn’t have to mean romantic love.
Load More Replies...I can relate. My ex-ex GF is my soulmate. We broke up 14 years ago and we've been best friends since that moment, without missing a beat. We love each other without romantic expectations and enjoy ourselves greatly. There's nothing I wouldn't do for her and she's demonstrated always the same about me. Love is not a finite container that has to be assigned to a single person.
This love appears real and pretty deep so I'm curious as to why a divorce happened.
sometimes you're love for each other is truly platonic.
Load More Replies...If the city worker was there, why did the guy have to climb down instead of the worker?
Also who has too much going on to care about their car keys going down the sewer? I cal BS on this one. Plus women like her have 300 things attached to the keys so they aren't falling into Stephen King's It territory sub sewer systems your BF goes crawling in!
Load More Replies...Without her knowing, not without knowing her. I think you might have read it wrong
Load More Replies...That sounds so great! I wish to meet and get together with (or at least become friends with) someone like that too
So cute together. She was so trusting! Anything could have happened.
Best idea I've ever had. Listen to my wife and daughter. If they mention they really want/like something I save a note in my calendar a month before their birthday or Christmas.
wait thats actually a genius idea. I have crap memory maybe this will help.
I think anyone in a relationship who wants to make it work, will ask the other if they're happy, what bothers them, etc. Sometimes you don't know unless you ask.
I've survived decades of abuse, worked very hard on managing my mental health and everything I have had to overcome after my life imploded 3 years ago. He was unhappy with me because I didn't go to him first when I needed help; I was so used to being let down, so having someone who WANTS to be there for me is a priceless treasure. He makes me feel safe and cherished, no-one has ever made me feel like this before. That's love.
This is a potential red flag. Could be ok, but not if it one of many 'you only need me'
Agree - I was in exactly that situation too, with an emotionally abusive partner who had a complete meltdown, yelling at me for not going to him first when I got the call about my mother's stroke. I had told a co-worker who was with me when I got the news and saw how upset I was. It can be controlling behaviour, depending on the person. I would definitely consider it a red flag. NoWayNoWay needs to back the fuq off.
Load More Replies...Once I dated a guy who told me he didn’t wanted to offend me but that he wouldn’t come to me with his problems, and seeing how we had only been dating for like a month, I told him it was ok, I’m a very privated person and I didn’t feel comfortable with talking to him about my problems yet either... and he got mad! Like? Didn’t you just say the same to me??
No, doesn't have to be, just very caring. It can be a thin line sometimes but this is sweet.
Load More Replies...I love that! That feeling of complete peace and contentment. Blessings to you both!
Thats so cute. My husband never leaves the house without giving me a kiss. Those small gestures mean a lot.
Same here, I always get a kiss and an "I love you". Even after 22 years of marriage!
Load More Replies...i took this for granted. years before i learned how to 'tuck myself in' after he passed. together for over 40 years, didnt realize how loving that gesture was, every night.....
I was homeless when I met my boyfriend. He let me stay with him for months until I saved enough money to rent a room. We got so used to being together all the time that I still spend most of my time at his place
Look, he may know the right words but this may be the way he worded it to make her laugh. Big picture here people.... he cares about her. I personally find this endearing 100%
Not knowing the context for the sympathy note, makes it an awkward yet funny view point.
I'm gonna be perfectly honest here when it said cycle gifts I right away thought she must like bicycles
kep him! My man is gruff, won't show his feelings. But I was in the hospital for 42 days...He was there EVERY SINGLE DAY. All this while moving us into a new house, getting our 5 yr old in a new school, etc. Love him to bits still. Even the little things, made me iced tea so I have fresh after being away for a week.
My ex wouldn't come to the hospital while I miscarried OUR baby. Afterwards, he called me to say that he was glad it happened because he already had a kid and didn't want another one.
I'm glad he is your ex! You deserve better than that.
Load More Replies...Within a week of starting to date, my boyfriend had to drive me in a blizzard to the ER. He sat for hours with me until I stabilized, and gave me the bracelet he always wore, which I now never take off
Sounds like your guy is caught in a toxic relationship. If you disagree just picture the above scenario with genders reversed
I have BPD and my boyfriend has learned about it to better help me. He understands that sometimes pushing away or creating distance is a way of protecting myself if I feel like he may leave, so at those times he knows to remind me that he loves me and we're all goos
You shouldn't lose weight just from not taking vitamins. I hope you see a doctor.
I read this as she meant to lose weight (on a diet) but forgetting to take the vitamins (to make up for the lack of nutrients due to restrictions in the diet.
Load More Replies...Vitamins are a scam. Unless you have some kind of condition that e.g. limits your ability to absorb nutrients, a balanced diet is all it takes to get all the vitamins you need
I'm not an old lady but my body doesn't produce enough hemoglobin. I was feeling really badly for a few years; I couldn't get healthier no matter how I tried. I saw a trainer three times a week, I was on a super healthy meal plan. Then I was finally tested and was told I needed iron pills. Should I take the iron and listen to him (I'm in wonderful health now) or listen to you?
Load More Replies...HE WAS THE ONE WHO STOLE THEM AND IS REDEEMING HIMSELF FOR HIS CRIMES dun dun duuuuuun
Load More Replies...I'd be very suspicious......., but then again, I've been bitten badly by people I trusted with my life! I don't trust anyone easily anymore......... I'll trust you immediately if you have 4 paws though.....
He probably checked all the p**n shops in the area. Musical instruments are huge in these stores.
Yes, me too. I had a "helicopter"- husband, always checking up if I'm ok, I'll go with u etc, until I realised he's not checking on me, he's checking UP on me........ I was young and stupid, loved it at first, until I grew up and realised what a narcissist and controlling man he was. Left him after 30 years of marriage, with nothing! My clothes, and my mothers car...... 10 years later, am still battling to get him out my life, he's still trying to control me (he can't), and makes it even nastier. Confused it for love like in forever!
Load More Replies...I think they mean that they try to help them to not be angry or sad.
Load More Replies...I would absolutely melt if my partner did a presentation of our future together!!! I’m a v organized person, love planners lol
LDR means long distance relationship, not lockdown relationship…
Load More Replies...that is fear, not love...fear of being dumped. if you have to change people to love them, is really love for that person, but person you made them into
No, it's not. Maybe the bad habit was leaving his clothes on the floor. That's not changing someone you love.
Load More Replies...If someone is an alcoholic, going sober cold turkey can kill them. Benzodiazepines (Ativan, Xanax, Valium, etc) and alcohol are the only 2 addictions that kill by quitting cold turkey. You can be a heroin addict and go cold turkey and you'll feel very sick but you won't die. A true alcoholic needs to be de-toxed in a medical facility to come off of alcohol.
Yes, going cold turkey from alcohol can kill. But it is possible to reduce alcohol consumption over a period of time until you can stop. It just takes a lot of planning and time.
Load More Replies...Once an alcoholic, tread carefully. Not all relapse, but boy oh boy, it's a constant steep, narrow, slippery slope. I really hope things work out for both of you.
El muerto - you're right. I also find it odd that she says 'approximately 5 months'.
Load More Replies...So you love hime because he was prepared to put other people's lives at risk to visit you?!
I think he wasn't allowed because they were not married. So he lied ("strong armed") to security to get in.
Load More Replies...Food poisoning usually causes vomiting and / or diarrhea. I wouldn't want anyone 'comforting' me then.
So it’s ok for ur BF to break the law because he doesn’t agree with it??? 🤨
Been there haha it wasn't love!! Just drunken crap (I'm talking about me myself when i thought i had the same kind of moment, special at the time for me but not so much for him, it wasn't love on his part)
Thank you for saying the truth about being drunk since Milli Blue thinks it's a 'beautiful story'.
Load More Replies...Don't be a douche-it is very clear what the OP meant.
Load More Replies...This...doesn't shine in a good light on the O.P. Sounds like they are more into thier S.O.'s wealth and what they can get from them.
I agree with you; it bothers me that all she talks about is money. And the "fake dive" for her wallet? Yikes.
Load More Replies...I understand that when you grow up in foster care, you wish for safety and someone to take care of you, but you just mentioned financial things. Love is when emotional needs are met.
Wow so much judgement in these comments. I'm about to downvote all of you. You don't know this person's love language, nor the deep meaning of security, joy, and love that this demonstration of commitment via finance has to the OP. Disappointed in you all.
In her defense, a LOT of Americans are raised to believe in the “Prosperity Gospel” basically, that if you are a good Christian you will be rewarded financially, so she seems like she truly can’t believe her “blessings” aka she can’t believe her luck. It is really aggravating that so many good people turn materialistic bc they equate money with spiritualism/godliness or whatever. This county is ruled by the almighty dollar, for certain.
I guess men don't share as much, but it would be nice to see more comments from men on how their significant others make them feel loved.
Load More Replies...When my sis died, we'd only been dating a few months. He was fired from work for skipping so much time so he culd be with me during viewing/funeral/etc. I freaked out, and he said something like he could get another job, but I needed him more than he needed the job. So, yeah, 30 yeasr later...
We've been living together for 11 years now, so there's a lot of occasions that showed me he genuinely loves me, but here I'll go with the most recent ones. Basically, his whole reaction and attitude towards my health after it was confirmed for the first time that my kidneys are weak. (I'm stage 2, at a steady 70%~75% so far). He literally told me he would give me one of his kidneys if it comes to this. Poor boy, he was in a much bigger shock than myself. He just kept researching about kidney disease all the time for some time. Another one is, last winter I had a literally debilitating migraine. It was so bad that I temporarily lost my linguistic cognition, and my body temperature dropped close to 35°C (not really 35, but very close). The way he nursed me back to normality and how he literally dressed me up and basically carried me to the car to go to the hospital... I'm so lucky to have him.
So sorry about your kidneys but happy you have someone to be there for you. My partner and I both suffer with migraines so I do a lot of reading about them. You may already know this but low body temperature has been linked to migraines and they can often resolve when low body temperatures are normalized (though not had that miracle happen yet!). My ability to talk coherently is always affected when I get a migraine as well - apparently aphasia and dysarthria are well known issues. If it is the first time it has ever happened though you do need to get it checked in case it's caused by something more sinister.
Load More Replies...It's always special when your partner first shows you they love you. It is even more so when they still show it many years later. I had a really really rough day today, I went for a walk, didn't tell any one, didn't answer my phone etc. My hubby found me and I asked him why he loves me. He said that I am perfect for him and wouldn't want to be with anyone else. I know I'm far from perfect and can be hard to deal with. He said so much more but some things I choose to treasure for myself. I know I'm an over sharer but there are many things I keep for myself or those close to me. Anyway our talk didn't dissolve my down mood but it did dilute it.
I had four family members in four different hospitals across two states. I was traveling to be with them, take care of families, houses, etc. for weeks. I came home for two days, did laundry, packed again, and headed out for another week. When I got to the first hospital which was three hours from home, I realized I left my medication at home and texted that I was too stressed to find a pharmacy (there were none nearby and I would have drive a ways to get it) and that I was going to have to deal with it in the next town in two days. He showed up at that hospital the next morning with my meds and my dog because he wanted to save me the stress and he knew impromptu doggie cuddles would make my day.
Now THATS a good true love story. You for taking care of your family, him for taking care of you.
Load More Replies...It is very sweet to see all of the things that make these couples happy. It's great to see how the little things someone can do for you can make that person really happy and feel better about themselves!🥰😊
For me it was little things. Like I suffer from migraines from time to time. Not often but when I do have them watch out. If I even mention my head is starting to hurt (especially at work) I'll get home and the A/C will be turned down and blasting, room will be dark, ice packs will be ready and migraine medicine on standby. Every month right around the time of my cycle, He always... i mean ALWAYS comes home with tampons, midol (if we're out) and my favorite ice cream. He also does this with my daughters only he gets them their favorite treats. Snickers for my oldest, Twix for my youngest. He's amazing.
We'd been dating 2 months and he asked what I usually do for xmas. I explained I normally drive out of state to my sister's and he said, "Would you want to fly to England with me and meet my family?" Then the morning we left, he gave me a diamond promise ring so I'd "know his intentions." I knew he was all in.
Knew for a long time but really reminded me of it when I went abroad for 2 yrs to do my masters and we couldn't see each other because of Covid >:( Now we plan to get married and no one will keep us away from each other :(
So much judging…. You aren’t them. You don’t know what they want or like. So stop hiring their relationship.
