You'll never believe what my boyfriend did...

Last night, my boyfriend and I were hanging out at his house, and I started to get really really bad cramps. It was such excruciating pain, I started to panic (I have generalized anxiety, panic disorder, and social anxiety) and cry. My amazing boyfriend is the kind of person who always feels like he needs to help everyone, even if he doesn't know how to. Not sure how to help me, he took me to his room and let me lay down. He pulled my hair back, sat down next to me and rubbed my arm, then suddenly said "I'll be right back." When he came back, he had a warm microwaved heating pack, and water for me. He turned on the AC because when I have anxiety attacks I always feel warm, and kissed my cheeks. He then laid down next to me, wiped away my tears, told me he loved me, and held my hand while I recovered from my anxiety, and cramps.

I've never felt so loved and cared about in my life. His eyes always give away the way he feels, and looking in his eyes, I know he loves me. This isn't the first time he's helped me recover from an anxiety attack, but it is the first time he's helped me recover from cramps. When I felt better and thanked him for taking care of me, he looked at me, confused, and said, "Why wouldn't I take care of you? It's my job to take care of you, baby, that's what people in relationships do. They support and take care of each other. I love you. I'm always going to take care of you." I don't know how I got so lucky to have a man like him love and take care of me.
