TLDR: looking for recommendations of things to do , acts of service, even impactful words for my very stressed out partner
I’d like to hear from everyone but men specifically, what are some things your girlfriend does for you when you are STRESSED that make you feel better or that make your day? My 23M boyfriend and I 22F are both undergoing a lot of stress in multiple areas of our life, which I believe is leading to more conflict in our relationship and I just want to make him feel better and do things that make him feel appreciated, loved, seen and de stressed. I’ve asked him this directly but I think it overwhelms him so I’d like to hear from you all. we are both busy, and live 2 hours away and see each other about 2-3 days a week. also please no overly expensive $$$ recommendations.

Blowies. It works every time
Honestly, for me, it’s those little, thoughtful gestures that really help cut through the stress. When life gets tough, the best thing my girlfriend does is simply check in… like sending a random “Hey, I know you’re having a rough time, I love you” text, or calling just to say “I’m here for you.” No need for any grand gestures. Sometimes it’s a care package filled with my favorite snacks, or even just promising to handle dinner when we’re together so I can kick back and relax for a while. A quiet evening without distractions, where she takes care of the little things and we just hang out or watch a movie, can completely reset my stress levels. It’s all about feeling loved and acknowledged, without the weight of a heavy conversation when I’m feeling overwhelmed. And honestly, these small acts, especially when they happen regularly, work wonders even when we’re both super busy.
Damn, I was the second person to answer and somebody already beat me to blowjobs.
Nothing and I mean nothing says I love you like it lmao
Bill Burr has a whole comedy bit about the time his wife made him a sandwich and it almost brought him to tears.
I know this sounds flip but he was sort of serious and I am too.
