my bf would quite literally carry me everywhere if he could just so my feet dont have to touch the ground (i have sensory issues where i hate the feeling of my bare feet on the ground)😭 he says loving me "should be like worshipping" & i swear he'd give his life for me in an instant. i could literally go on forever but if he exists theres other men like him out there too🫶

My boss is like a second dad, he's paid out of pocket to feed us regularly, talk about our relationships with him and always walks us out to our cars.

my friends boyfriend always treats me and any of her other friends with the same amount of respect she gets. he holds the door for all of us, for valentines he got all of us a single rose and gave her a bouquet, cooks and cleans for us, let us use him as an emergency contact because none of us have family in our city, and so much more. i’m literally still astounded and they’ve been together longer than a year. i’ve never met someone with so much respect as him and i’m SO insanely happy for her

Rave bae gave me shoulder, back and foot massages after meeting me less than 2 hours prior and was genuinely the sweetest guy I’ve ever met.

i could go on and on about how great my guy friends are. i was the last to get my license, they always offered to pick me up and never once made me feel guilty or like a burden. one’s an amateur editor and made like a movie trailer of clips of me for my bday and it was so sweet. one randomly texts/calls me every couple of months when he’s thinking of me and always says that he’s proud of me. they all really helped my confidence, never fail to hype me up. i’m so lucky to have them in my life fr

My advisor is basically a second dad to me and when I injured my back a few months ago, he wouldn’t stop annoying me until I’d booked an appointment with a specialist

One of my friends comes up to me and very subtly finds out if he needs to intervene between me and any man who speaks to me (often his radar about whether I’m being flirted with is more accurate than mine, and I Really Do Not want to be flirted with, for a number of reasons)

One of my other friends and I were briefly fwb until I met someone I wanted to see seriously and now we’re just friends. He taught me that it was possible (AND NECESSARY) to feel safe during sex and then as soon as I was like “bro I want to give this guy a real chance” he was like “I’m so proud of you for being healed enough to feel ready to pursue that.” (He is not healed enough yet but as soon as he is I’ll be cheering him on too)

The guy I’ve been seeing (I’m letting him drive the pace of this and he’s not ready yet to call it anything particularly but as far as I’m concerned I’m taken) like I actually couldn’t possibly fit all of the things in this, but like. I told him abt my past and that I’m still clawing my way out of the pits of hell and he didn’t flinch for a second. He said “Okay, well, communicate with me. We’ll take this at whatever pace you need. But this should be stressful — that’s the most important thing.”

For the record he’s not gone back on the “my pace” thing. I’m letting him drive the pace because I have no idea what I’m doing, I trust him, and I’m comfortable and happy and as un-stressed as it is possible to be while unlearning shitty traumatized habits

He asked me once how I liked my coffee. Once. And every coffee he’s ever made me since has been perfect.

He listens to me like he actually fucking cares about transliteration conventions in names of ancient Mesopotamian gods. And he says he does because like it’s fascinating (AND HES RIGHT) but my one other experience with romance absolutely does not include someone listening to me with a smile on his face and asking good questions about the things I’m passionate about

Another friend of mine who is a bartender at a bar I go to once a week for music night walked me back to my car once absolutely without question when another patron made me uncomfortable, then messaged me later to apologize because he felt he hadn’t responded as totally understandingly as he wished he had. (He was fine it was never an issue.)
