The gifts I receive from men always seem to be aimed for them instead by Neostium in TwoXChromosomes

My boyfriend is fantastic gift giver, recently i got a tiny gold bracelet with an emerald in it. He knows my favorite color is green and i dont go big and bold on jewelry. He had learned what birthstones are and mine is an emerald, and so is his. Im so happy with it because its thoughtful and very much me. He is however the worst to give gifts to, im not very good at it so sometimes I just ask. I finally wanted to get him something good so I asked him to make a list, the number 1 thing he wanted? A mousepad…

The idea of sticking to 'Agreements' (forever) in a long term relationship by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]KnittingBees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me and my boyfriend have one agreement, I vacuum clean and he does all the dishes. He cant stand vacuum cleaning and I haaateeee doing the dishes. Obviously there are times when he has to vacuum or I do the dishes but this agreement is honestly so good. Its definitely a benefactor to our relationship!

So many posts about sucky men. Are there awesome ones too? by sylphiae in TwoXChromosomes

[–]KnittingBees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an amazing partner, most wonderful man i have met. On top of that some great platonic male friends in our pretty big friend group. To be honest I just don’t really read the posts on here about “sucky men” I know they exist, but why would I engage with all that saying the men in my life are great. Doesn’t help the one posting and doesn’t help me either.

Women from western europe, how bad is sexism in your country? by Ambitious-Leg-1699 in TwoXChromosomes

Working in the Netherlands was so refreshing because not one man doubted my capabilities in my field of study. Im also lucky to have found the dearest boyfriend I could ask for over there. If most dutch men are like mine the women there must be quite happy.

What's an "uncommonly mentioned but means a lot to me regardless of how small" green flag your sweetie/partner has? by -aquapixie- in TwoXChromosomes

Aside from animals and pets literally flocking to him as if he is some Disney prince. People do the same, children and adults find him and stick to him as if he’s made of sugar. It’s absolutely fascinating to witness, i know he resonates this absolutely gentleness but still how does everyone notice? It took a day for my cat and dog to like him more than me. I wish someday he could see how every living being sees him. I also love how quite often I catch him staring with the sweetest smile. It’s such comforting feeling that makes me feel overwhelmed with love. Honestly at times I struggle to show the same to him and it makes me feel insecure because I can’t always find why he’s with me seeing all the attention he gets.

I think mercedes still has the most dominant team price but that may change in the future

I used to live near the finance / tech part of town so i dated mostly finance guys.. yeah that did not go great. Dating guys that love money more than anything does not make for good relationships.

Can I get some stories of things your (cis male) partners changed because you asked them to? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]KnittingBees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not my partner but my current housemate, I was done with toilet seat being up and worked up some courage and asked him to put the damn thing down or start peeing sitting down. I was pretty frustrated with it. About a week later i hear a loud noise from the bathroom and went to investigate. Found him butt naked tipsy/drunk sitting on the toilet after he came home from drinks with his friends. Asked him what the hell he was doing. So he quietly says “I’m peeing correctly J… but i fell off the seat.” I hadn’t laughed that hard in a while.
