How long have you been dating? My husband of 15 years does this but a boyfriend? It's possible he's just courting.

Op. To the people calling me needy, I didn’t ask for anything. This is what he does unprompted.

You literally asked posters to rate your boyfriend’s efforts on a Likert scale. “Needy” is a kind word.

Well, yeah. He’s a BF so he’s still on his best behavior. How long have you been dating?

This guy is a 10! Several years ago I was seeing a guy and stayed over his house and ended up getting horrible diarrhea- I mean I literally could not be away from the toilet (thanks to catching a bug from my toddler nephew at the time). I was so embarrassed and essentially couldn’t leave to go back to my place bc it was so bad. I had to come clean and tell him what was up. This amazing man was compassionate and told me not to worry about it and immediately went to CVS to get me Imodium, chicken noodle soup and took care of me! We’ve been married for 8 years!

He knew and wanted me to stay over. He figures he is already exposed and says he won’t get sick (and he hasn’t).

If you really cared about him you wouldn’t put him at risk. It’s selfish. I hope that if he gets sick you step up.

My ex was entirely missing this gene. I could be horribly sick and begging him to do something, watch the kids, let me rest etc. yet he'd get a cold and expect the world to stop.

New partner is amazing! He doesn't make as much money. In my middle age I prefer a true partner and human.

When I woke up coughing overnight he calmly kept his hand on my back and at 4am got up to set up a humidifier. On a scale of 1-10 where are we?

10. And my SO of 6 years would do this.

The neediness is your posting this online. Weird.

You have a giver so treat him well.

Mine was like yours until 2 kids and depression and mental illness. He took care of me so well. Not anymore. Make sure you don’t have any red flags.
