Whether you've been together for five weeks, five months, or five years, sometimes we forget to tell our significant other "thank you" for all the little (and big) things they do. Because a little gratitude goes a long way, here's a few things to thank your boyfriend for.
1. Thank you for being my support system.
Whether I'm freaking out over an upcoming exam, or overwhelmed with work, you're my rock. You're the first person I go to when I need words of encouragement. Thank you.
2. Thank you for being honest with me. (Even if it's brutal.)
You'll tell me that I'm overreacting, and you'll tell me that I wouldn't look like myself if I got a pixie cut. You'll even tell me when my makeup is smudged and the raccoon eyes are about to come out full force. Sometimes I don't like to hear the truth, but I'm glad that you tell me anyway.
3. Thank you for always being on my side.
Whether I'm ranting about a "friend", or telling you about a terrible work day, you always support me. (Even if my argument is, admittedly, downright ridiculous.)
4. Thank you for compromising when it comes to what we watch on Netflix.
...Yes, I'm actually thanking you for the 4-hour Friends binge-watching sessions.
5. Thank you for being the adventurous one.
I'm realizing now that there's a multitude of exciting things I would have never done if it wasn't for you. You instilled in me a sense of adventure that I hope I never lose.
6. Thank you for letting me steal your clothes.
Because you didn't need those sweatpants or that t-shirt, right?
7. Thank you for loving me unconditionally.
8. Thank you for being my best friend.
You're my shoulder to cry on, the one who can always make me laugh, my partner in crime, and my biggest fan. Thank you.
9. Thank you for making me feel beautiful.
You tell me I'm beautiful even if I'm in pajamas with my hair a mess. You've helped me gain so much confidence, and I'm so thankful for that.
I wouldn't want to go through life with anyone but you.
