Usually, dating isn't as easy as most of us wish it was. It's already difficult enough to put yourself out there and open up to someone new, but even after that, you still got a mission to figure out the person's true intentions and whether your feelings towards each other truly align.

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.

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....

That's the best kind. When you can go on caring for someone after a breakup.

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.

Thats so cute. My husband never leaves the house without giving me a kiss. Those small gestures mean a lot.

ya'll criticising 'cause you say he does not know what a vagina is or it is the uterus - my woman had a problem with her VAGINA - why would you think a vagina cannot have problems. this thread is for encouragement, not "grammer correction". good grief some of you people. people.

Come on... this is about "Cycle gifts" so definitely not about vagina problem. And anyway those are stories about "How you know your partner TRULY loves you". Well, cycle gifts are definitely the cheapest.

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.

Probably her period/menses/menstrual cycle was kinda rough - or he was being funny and pervy at the same time..

I would be concerned a little bit if my boyfriend didn't know what my vagina was 😅

Huh? Sorry about your vagina???? Now that's something that certainly wouldn't turn me on!

It’s not supposed to. He’s not trying to be hot, he’s trying to care. It wasn’t even meant for you, so you don’t get to criticize.

Sounds like your guy is caught in a toxic relationship. If you disagree just picture the above scenario with genders reversed

You shouldn't lose weight just from not taking vitamins. I hope you see a doctor.

Hope you have gotten counseling for the abuse in your life so that you'll be a better mother.

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

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.

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.
