OK, been here for a bit and have gotten tired of the "she / he did _________ to me" whining.

As a gift to all those who are looking to have a good relationship, I am asking those (guys in this thread) who have / have had good relationships to post their favorite things that women have done right and really made a difference.

Respects me when I need personal time; surprises me with little practical gifts (i.e. food); takes care of me when I'm sick or in pain; humble enough to let me serve her, and proud enough to serve me; etc. etc.

To clarify--I'm not a jackass, I do a lot for her too. We don't serve each other in the same ways, because our needs aren't identical, but we put in the effort.

What did she do to me

Be as kind as possible
Love me to death
Occasionally allow me to have fun
Willing to be with me through thick and thin

Make me happy every day
Enjoy are time together

Will post more, but by far and away was how she treated my girls:
  • cleared rule enforcement with me (cannot remember specific, but was something like "is it OK for me to tell them ____ or do you want to?"
  • did not gift them crap (ex-girlfriend bought their "love")
  • by example demanded respect and respectful actions
  • made it clear she had no intention to replace their mother and encouraged them to love their mother
  • "I am your dad's friend. It would be nice if you liked me, but I have no intention on being your friend"

Respect, kindness and liking me for who I am, my mind and not for what I did for her.

com' on, guys! i was thinking something very similar. i know the ladies have us outnumbered here. but surely we can come up with many things the women in our lives have done right. it hasn't all been bad or we would not be trying to do it all over again.

For Nanette and all you ladies.

What women do right:

You listen when we make no sense;
You support our dreams when we don't even have a plan;
You let us take credit for your ideas;
You accept us with all of our short comings;
You laugh with us when you have every right to cry;
You teach us how to be good fathers;
You teach us how to be good husbands;
You forgive us when we falter and don't deserve a second chance;
You cook, clean and care for us with seldom a praise;
You tolerate our TV and sport shows and respect our need for boy's time;
You continue to give when we often forget to give back; and
You make us whole.
