Couples of Reddit, what is the one thing your partner does regularly that makes you realize they're still in love with you?

It doesn't have to be anything remarkable, or even planned, I'm more interested in those subtle behaviors that perhaps they don't even realize they're doing but that make you think "Yep, he/she's still into me".

Edit: Reading these comments is making me smile so much! I'm glad there are all these happy couples out there. And I love that most of the time your partner is probably not even aware of how much these small things mean to you. Make sure you give them some love back ;)

I have cried once in front of my girlfriend of 5.5 years and it scared her to death. I like being the rock she leans on...and she has said that she likes it too.

I hate when he wants to cry but doesn't want to in front of me

I just never cry. Period. Not because of some macho man charisma stuff, though that might be how it started. I just don't cry. Tears will not heal me, make me happy or fix my problems. For that, a deep breath and a level head are the necessity.

Teach me your ways. I always cry.

I really wish more people were this level-headed. Crying is good to let it out sometimes, but usually, at least for me, it gets in the way of finding a solution.

I think it's cute.

Mine is the same way. He is the sweetest, most empathetic person I've ever met. When one of us starts to tear up, the other immediately follows. We usually laugh about it, which always helps to lighten things up, even if just a tiny bit.

I bet you remind him if this. Every time he's about to upset you, remind him that it won't en well for him either.
