User “gwnniegrrl.” "My boyfriend and his mom were in therapy and he asked me to go to one of their sessions. There was a lot of arguing between the two of them and by the end of it, his mom and therapist tore him apart about something (can't remember what). When we got back to our house, he asked me to sit with him before he went to work.

He put his head on my shoulder and cried from the all of the stress that he was going through. I comforted him as he let it out.”

User “surpassing_disasters.” "It didn't work out, but when my mom died, the man I was dating came over after my kids were asleep. He ran a warm bath for me, washed my hair and back...dried me, then helped me into comfy pjs, brushed my hair and then just held me. He rubbed my back when I cried and even made me laugh a few times that night.”

User “PrometheusTitan.” "Intimate moments can be positive or negative. My longest-term relationship ever had plenty of both. I am a very tactile person, so I love just lying in bed naked with a girlfriend, and just cuddling-I'd run my fingers through her hair and over her skin, kiss the back of her neck and just bask in her company."

User “PrometheusTitan.” "Unfortunately, the negative intimate moments tended to dominate later. I sat with her and would read to her while she was recovering from chemo, I'd hold her hand while they did the bone marrow biopsies and when we got the results, including the relapse/recurrence. I shaved her head when her hair started to fall out. I emptied bedpans and fetched food and in the end, her parents and I lay next to her on her last night (when she'd slipped into a coma) to try and get a few extra hours, and I held her hand and rested my head on her shoulders as she drew her last breath.

I don't take great pride in much in my life, but I am comforted to know that I was able to bring her happiness and comfort in her final months.”

User “thingker.” "Was there when the bandages came off after her double mastectomy. VERY emotional time for her, for me too.”

User “NoCleverNickname.” "My wife had a painful recovery from a c-section a few years ago. Had to ‘assist' her in the bathroom. That means everything you think it means.”

User “UnclePetrolGT5.” "So, when me and the wife fight. One of us will take a pen and a piece of paper and write what we are thinking on the page. The other will sit(and not speak) and wait to receive the page and read it before we write our response on the other side. This will go one until the 'argument' is over.

It works because neither of us will 'say' something in the heat of the moment, because we are forced to think, before we write.

It's very intimate; for arguing.”

User “VernBeave.” "Cried in front of her. Like bawling. Haven't done that since I was 5.”

User “nailsunderskin.” "My husband and I were at a time in our lives that we didn't get to see each other very often. One night, I got really upset about it when we were driving home and starting crying just after we picked up one of his friends. When we got home, I went straight to the shower and cried. I couldn't stop crying and he got in the shower fully clothed and just held me until I stopped.”
