What are the everyday habits your partner has that make you feel special without even trying?
35 comments
Always charges my car for me. Before electric cars he would always fill the tank for me so I don’t have to do it.
Pretty bad when I can’t think of a single thing he does that makes me feel special …
Never failing to forget kissing me before leaving for work
Always sending a good morning text, even though we live together
Checking in throughout the day
Packing my lunch for me, even though he knows he does NOT have to
Sets up my coffee so all I have to do is press the button, puts my towel (s) next to the shower, pours me a glass of wine after work, and he loves to cook. He makes me feel special every day.
Besides the million little things he does that he never talks about? I would say the hug and kiss I get before he leaves for work, without fail.
His actions tell me that he feels very comfortable around me and safe from judgement, like being able to share goofy ideas or ugly thoughts. And he also tells me so, too. When he’s stressed, he seeks my presence because he feels noticeably calm when he’s near me.
Then he returns the favor. Which was honestly way harder for him because I spent years being overly guarded with the double whammy of having no idea I was doing it. Like having to convince someone the wall in front of them is there and them not believing you lol
He gives me ‘nice things’ (compliments) right before sleep while we’re cuddling, every night. It’s always a list of like 4 or 5 big compliments. It doesn’t matter what mood we’re in or what’s come before in the day. If he’s up before me, he’ll set up our coffee machine ready to go but he won’t turn on the grinder before I’m awake (so I’m not disturbed). There’s always a kiss and I love you before we leave. He messages to check in throughout the day. Honestly I feel special all of the danged time.
He always knows how to comfort me no matter the situation. Sometimes it feels like he knows me better than I know myself. He’s so kind too and it makes me feel very loved
He tells me every single day of my life that I’m the most beautiful creature he’s ever seen, or something to that effect. He knows that in my first marriage, my ex was embarrassed of the way I looked. This one makes sure I feel beautiful.
He brings me coffee to bed or has it prepared for me when I’m running late for work.
He takes my lunch out of the fridge so I don’t forget to take it. I have a habit of not eating lunch cause I would forget it in the fridge and he would worry about me not eating.
Always gives me a kiss before leaving to work and before falling asleep
Every morning we play wordle. Either he or I sends it first but that’s our morning ritual. Consistently he will bring me little treats from the store…just a little something that tells me he thought of me. He checks in to make sure I’m comfy and happy. He’s good at sharing the TV and the radio. If I stay over on the weekend he makes me coffee and breakfast. He’s just the best!
His 5:20 alarm that is just there for him to cuddle me for 10min before he need to get to work.
Morningkisses
Among many other things I could list, he flirts with me 🙂
Always asking me how I’m feeling. Genuinely wanting to know how I’m doing, how I’m feeling, what I’m thinking about. She worries that sometimes she annoys me doing that, but I greatly appreciate the way she loves me and cares for me.
Gives me sweet kisses before either of us leave in the morning and when we’re reunited at the end of the day. He lifts me in the air because he’s excited to see me. He always makes sure I’ve eaten and shares his food even if I don’t hint at wanting it lol. He always tells me how lucky he is and how much he wants to be the best partner he can because I deserve it. Supports my ambitions, goals, and accomplishments. Listens attentively and always asks about my day. These, among other things.
Most nights I cook dinner but he always clears the table without me having to ask! He just does it and I don’t think he realizes how much that little gesture means to me.

He calls me beautiful all the time. He kisses me like he means it every time he kisses me. He does silly stuff like pick me up and spin me around like we’re in a movie. He cleans up any and all vomit that may eventuate in the day-to-day, also, and we got a mess of kids and pets.😬😅
We also work together so when he hypes me up on the job it makes me feel pretty special lol
Nothing. He’s usually so tired from being up at 4am that I get whatever is left over of him after work. I don’t love it but hes the sole provider right now so I will take the best he can do.
He will always give me the last bite of food or give me his food if I like mine better.
Makes me cups of tea constantly and does the housework, except cooking. I do that.
My husband cares for me as an action word. He actually gives a shit. In the way a serious adult man handles his business.
It’s been 6 years and I’m starting to actually believe he’s real.
Opens every door
We don’t live together yet:
He calls me every morning on his walk. It’s a nice time to check in.
When I ask him if I should come over he always has a reply like “heck yes” or “of course”.
When I get there he gets up from whatever he’s doing to give me a long hug and a kiss, and he walks me to the door each night to give me a kiss.
He texts me good morning every day and good night on any nights we don’t spend together. He gives me a kiss before he leaves to work even if I’m sleeping. He always makes the bed and warms up my side for me in the winter. He carries around chopsticks on roadtrips so I don’t get my fingers dirty eating chips. He makes breakfast, lunch and dinner each day that we spend together. He’s just really thoughtful and caring. There’s so much more I could add.
Always making the bed in the morning
Texting me every so often about how much he can’t wait to see me after work
Trying to make me laugh or dance with me when I’m in a sad mood at home
Vacuuming the house every day
Reading at night to me in Spanish (after I asked him to)
Asking me what my dreams are and aspiring to achieve the means to help me get those dreams
He’s the best
He leaves for work at 5am, but I don’t get out of bed for at least 2 more hours. He opens the curtains ever so slightly so I can wake up with the sun (which I love, and he forced me to get blackout curtains ha).
He asks how I am doing & feeling every day. So far from the emotionally unavailable people I’ve had in my life. He’s 24 and I’m 33. Not that it matters, but he’s treated me with the most care anyone outside of my grandparents has.
We don’t live together and live in opposite directions – we meet at the same coffee shop daily and he drops me home and takes out the extra time to do it – Every. Single. Day.
We are both running our businesses and work days are pretty tiring and really hectic so we don’t have a lot of time- but he just really likes seeing me safely reach my house and does it always.
Keeps tabs on my financials – so, numbers and excels freak me out and I am so bad at them but ever since we started dating, he keeps on top of them and helps out whenever and wherever he can to help me navigate without me having to ask for help. I am expanding my business and it’s a lot of confusing load and he just hears me out – doesn’t try to take over or give unneeded advice but just makes the entire thing so much easier for me to deal with. He started it when he noticed that it’s giving me stress and just so that I don’t have anxiety.

Makes coffee in the morning when he’s up first, brings me flowers or a treat just to say I love you or when I’m feeling sad, fills my car with gas and washes it, takes out the trash, fills up my Stanley cup full of water every night before bed, always gives me a kiss goodbye in the morning and when he gets home in the evening 🙂
Sometimes when I’m doing something he will watch me with puppy dog eyes and a goofy lookin’ smile and when I notice him he will compliment me or come over and start rapidly kissing me. It feels wonderful to be admired.
He puts gas in the car when he knows I need to drive to the office. He picks me up little things at the store. He tracks how much of my favorite face cream I’ve used and buys me more when I’m close to running out. If we haven’t seen each other all day on a day where he has evening plans, he waits to go out with friends until after I’ve gotten home so we can have a few minutes together. He tells me he loves me all the time and compliments me, not just to my face but to others even when I’m not around. He’s pretty great.
Wrapping my towel around me when I get out of the shower, refilling my iron gummies and buying me meat snacks so I can keep my levels up when I am not in the mood to move around. Listening… like actually listening to what I say even if I am saying nothing substantial.
