Despite the stress of trying to make it through the day with cramps and fatigue, to apply for a staffing agency and then going to another place for applications (not for me) it was a surprisingly good day.

My boyfriend catered to me so nicely without me having to ask. Periods suck and for whatever reason this period this month is wacky and not like usual for me, at least not going by my last 3-5 periods. This time I got super sick, nauseous and crampy out of nowhere and had to lay down and be on my knees laying onto the bed so that that edge of the bed was in my stomach/pelvis area.

He was giving me lower back and pelvis massages depending on how I was laying and then without any time wasted he left the room without saying anything besides be right back. When he came back he had a hot towel to put on my pelvis/stomach to help with my cramps (i love this +20 boyfriend points). He sat on the edge of the bed and on the floor beside me keeping me company and checking to make sure the towel was still hot or at least warm. He went to go from his room back to the kitchen to heat the towel a total of 4 times, without complaint.

Then he left again, without saying anything, and came back with ice cream (+10 more boyfriend points). He had an ice cream sandwich in one hand and ice cream cone in the other and asked which one I wanted. He then sat on the floor and we ate ice cream together (I had the ice cream sandwich and was eating it while laying down). Eventually he did excuse himself because he wanted to go out and be with the rest of his family and try to let me sleep because I was very fatigued still, had been for a few days, but i couldn't sleep so I had laid there just resting my eyes. He was so sweet and it was all so unexpected. I had never been taken care of like that when I had bad period cramps or period moments.

And prior to that event, earlier I had minor cramps and he was giving me back rubs to help, and I was rubbing his back because it's relaxing for him and it was only fair to do it in return. And also yesterday he was giving me back rubs to ease the pain before my period finally started.

I just love him so much. My ex use to make me feel bad for being in pain and for feeling sick and not being able or not wanting to go out and do something or get out the bed and just go in a different room. He used to pretty much avoid me during my period regardless of if I was moody and if it was light or heavy "just to be safe". It got to the point where I would have to lie about when my period started and ended just so he wouldn't avoid me. I'm blessed and thankful I don't have to do that with my current boyfriend. He deals with my mood swings and accepts them and works with me. He tries to brighten my mood if possible, distract me, and help me. I apologize everytime I realize I let my moodiness get the best of me and we move on (I beat myself up about being moody with him sometimes if its really bad though, even when I know I can't control it 100%).

I just really love this man, he proves to me everyday that he actually isn't like the terrible guys I knew, dated, and/or had as friends. He proves that he loves me and will take care of me and he doesn't make me feel stupid for loving and taking care of him when he needs or wants it.
