It’s easy to call out the things our partners do and say that we don’t like, but we don’t always give them credit for the good stuff. A post in Reddit’s Ask Women section is highlighting the positives. It asks, “What is the best thing your partner has done for you?”
Hundreds of women are sharing the big and small stuff they appreciate their S.O.’s doing for them.
- “Got me sober and showed me how awesome sober living can be. Helped me figure out why I was numbing myself to life rather than facing it.”
