My partner just kinda gnaws on my upper arm. Straight up asked her to stop early days of us dating and she said something along the lines of "but that's how I show I love you" and just kept at it.

10 plus years later it's a wonder my arms haven't callused over. Love that weirdo

My husband always says, "Stop biting me!" but I think he's faking.

tiefling@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 5 pts · 1y

That's my guilty pleasure as well. I enjoy biting.

LOL, yeah I was pretty surprised when I first started dating my wife and she reared her head back like that old cat video and then clamped her teeth down around my forearm. Now I like it.

Pebbling. Giving small gifts or sharing small pieces of content/info that they are interested in

SkyezOpen@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 1y (1 reply)

They can even be literal pebbles if they're into that!

Every person and couple has their own so its tough to say. I wake my gf with kisses only which she likes.

I dunno, she seems to like my kisses too.

I once put an entire watermelon under the wipers on my friends car like a parking ticket when I knew they had a rough day at work. They like watermelon.

Washing the dishes, or cleaning up after yourself tells me that you love me and you in a way that words can't express

Gave my brother my mullvad account so he can use a VPN and his PC and taught him how to pirate. Which browser, which sites to trust.. Even walked him through a manjaro install over the phone. I often clean his PC for him when ever I'm over.

Built my ex a cute itx PC in turquoise. Dinky little thing.

Listen to your SO's friends and [close] family.

Your SO talks to them about what they really want.

54m here, married for 19 years.

My wife has a very demanding career, so really needs her hobbies to let go of the stress. What I do is listen when she's talking about what has her interests. Then if there is anything I can do to facilitate it, it will suddenly materialize. This is not always something expensive or even something material.

Just before COVID the entire family got into playing D&D. Being an artist my wife went bonkers on painting miniatures. So I made sure she had all the paints and brushes she needed. Plus, the dining room, which is actually our "hobby" room, got a lighting upgrade

How bonkers did she get? This bonkers and there are many many more:

My wife and I tell each other we love each other an obnoxious amount.

Not so long ago, she developed a throat infection that stopped her from being able to talk for a while. So now we have a new way if saying it, three little squeezes.

I loved it when my ex would act like a child to put something stupid into context.
