What do you do for you SO that other people might find weird?

I legitimately rubbed hemorrhoid cream on my boyfriend's swollen butthole while he bent over my bed and spread his cheeks apart. I would do anything for him.

Cozen · 1 year

I do blackhead removal on his back. I get a sick joy out of it so it is great for both of us. He can do his own nails though ;)

On the flipside, my boyfriend will rub my babymaker when I have horrible cramps during the Communist takeover.

My husband went through a cross-dressing phase (which may or may not return, he is undecided). I helped him shave his legs, butt, and all the other fun stuff more than once. We chatted and laughed the whole time. I'd do it again, too.

I'm pretty sure other people would find this a bit strange.

Years ago, I went after and drained a youtube worthy pimple/cyst/armpit thang. It STUNK, but it had to be done. He had a mass under one of his armpits the size of a marble if not bigger and it had to come out. His doctor was on a "wait and see" but I could tell my poor guy was not happy. So, I groomed, plucked, isolated and found the right hair that was plugged and pulled that. A white mass was immediately at the surface and so I started to squeeze. And squeeze and squeeze. Very gross. Very stinky. Very puke worthy and I got it out. I don't get grossed out by the youtube videos, so long as there isn't a ton of blood with them.

Pop pimples on his back. He and I are both gross enough to be like, "Oh! A thing on my body! Get a needle and some tweezers!" but he obviously can't reach his back. BUT I CAN!!

Last week he told me I could start him on a hand/nail care regiment as well as a skin care one :D Woo!

Fingernails. He always kept them clean and trimmed, but he never did anything about his cuticles. I LOVE giving myself manicures (hello /r/redditlaqueristas), and one day I brought all my nail shit downstairs and said, "I'm giving you a manicure."

I've been doing it once a week ever since.

YouGotTheTouch · 1 year

TIL I'm the only man alive who can cut his own toenails.

crazy4purple23 · 1 year

I crack his knuckles for him. It is weirdly satisfying.

pipkin227 · 1 year

Universally, we're just nasty together. Nothing is off limits.

Diarrhea while the other showers? Check.

Both peeing into the same toilet out of drunken necessity? Check.

Popping pimples? Check.

Routinely, I will fetch him reading material for the particularly long dump.

On the flip side, I am not allowed anywhere near his toenails.

sooza22 · 1 year

Peel his sunburn!

dol1house · 1 year

Help him shave.

Bring him dinner on his lunch breaks.

Kill any bug with wings.

NekoLaw · 1 year

I treat him like an adult who is capable of caring for his children (from a previous marriage), running his own business, making his own food, choosing his own clothing and handling his own hygiene.

Believe it or not, I get a lot of flack from some people for that (especially the kids and cooking).

cxherry · 1 year

My ex used to have me shave his back/chest hair for him. My old room mates used to tease about it at first, but it then ended up with me being the go to person for chest/back hair shaving/waxing.

failsafe0 · 1 year

I read books to him. It's not disgusting, it's just not common. I read him the whole Harry Potter series.

maidenlush · 1 year

Haha I guess we all seem to do the nail care for our SO's. Mine will get fussy if his get too long and whine for me to trim and file them. I also pluck the odd hair or two.

jezebelious · 1 year

The other night I talked him through how to iron over video chat... I also go over his debate cases for him. We're long distance so it isn't as much physical stuff.

tim404 · 1 year

My SO had a pimple on her neck that hurt but she couldn't pop it. It didn't go away for a week. So, per her request, I sterilized and proceeded to lance her neck pimple with an exacto knife. Worked like a charm.

It's a real relationship we've got.

jevus2006 · 1 year

My girlfriend ties my shoes sometimes.

spacemermaid · 1 year

I pluck my husband's sparse back hairs and his eyebrows, but also closely monitor his freakish arm hair.

ikwhatutellurself · 1 year

i clean out my bf's belly button lint a few times a week.

subnaree · 1 year

I do his nails too. The other day when I mentioned his fingernails were too long while we were outside, he just ripped them apart, that pretty much reminded me why I do his nails usually.

Also, I take care of his skin with homemade scrubs (that I mostly make for myself, but offer him to rub him down with the leftovers).

Other than that, I occasionally hug his chest tight, squeezing it as hard as I can, to alleviate his asthma :)

dungeonkeepr · 1 year

We manage to stick oddly closely to gender stereotype roles in our relationship - we're both very open minded and that, I just happen to be a cooking/cleaning/housekeeping kind of person and him the fixey/protectey guy.

The weirdest thing I do for him is probably feed him cookies while he plays computer games. And I condition his hair when we shower together, while he's distracted by boobs.

Herpbees · 1 year

I scratch him. Like, I scratch his back, his head, his beard, his arms and even his butt. He loves it.

mfz · 1 year

Pay all his bills (and then he transfers the amount to my account). I trim his neck and I used to cut his hair (poor students here) until one day when i cut his ear kinda bad. Guess he decided it was worth the money to have a proper haircut and ears intact.

prismaticbeans · 1 year

Fuck, I went down this thread and didn't find anything this bad.

I am loath to admit I have wiped his ass for him. With a wet cloth. Because there was poo on it. And now I'm gonna hide.

Poo.

[deleted] · 1 year

Cut his toe/finger nails (at his request)
Wash his hair in the sink
When he is taking a bath (kinda rare) I'll go in there and wash his whole body with a rag while he just sits there :)
Pop any pimples on his face (when he lets me)

These things might be considered weird where I'm from/area I'm in.

BrofessorMarvel · 1 year

I give him manicures because otherwise his nails/cuticles get destroyed. I don't do his toes though.

Lilusa · 1 year

I pluck ear hairs, make doctor's appointments, and I help him cut his hair (he takes clippers to it.) Not really that weird I guess :/

Miss_mariss87 · 1 year

I paint my boyfriend's toenails, and cut his hair. We also do face masks together.

qwertyboard · 1 year

My mom thought it was weird that I do his dishes. Namely because I fucking hate doing dishes.

CarnyWife · 1 year

Helped him extract a boil from a hard to reach place using a glass jar and some steaming hot water. Twice.

[deleted] · 1 year

I would never do over half the things that I read in this thread. I think it's great that other people do, I just wouldn't. It's probably a reflection of how I am in a relationship. If I'm injured, I'll handle it. If I'm sick, just leave me alone until I'm better. And if I am worried about a medical issue, I'll see my doctor and figure it all out before I tell him. Grooming is done in private, he just gets the result.

It's not that I don't like being taken care of, I do. I just like to handle physical things on my own. And I hope I end up with someone who is okay with that.

dawn14 · 1 year

I pick the lint out of his belly button. He produces it like crazy.. he can go shirtless all day, but there will still be lint in there at night! In fact, I just picked some out. He was like "I put some lint in there yesterday from the dryer, waiting for you to get it, because it would have been hilarious. But you never did." (all disappointed sounding!)

shocore · 1 year

Ahah I pick at acne on his back and peel off the dry skin on his feet. I love him.

btirabail · 1 year

Help him trim his toenails when he occasionally asks, wax his brows (just a cleanup, nothing ridiculous,) serve his plate of food and bring it to him while he sets up the movie we are going to watch from netflix, and I don't say no to any sexytime advance unless very ill.

Wonder-Girl · 1 year

I'll pop pimples for him and I Nair his butt crack too. I guess it isn't too weird. :P

ShawnaNana · 1 year

My boyfriend does way more weird things for me than what I do for him. He plucks my eyebrows for me, he cracks my toes, he tries to pop my zits (I usually won't let him, though.)

I guess he's the weird one in the relationship.

sheisaeval · 1 year

I've plucked nipple bars and shaved balls.

cranberres5152 · 1 year

I powder him when he gets out of the shower.. lol
And on the flipside he brushes my hair for about an hour. :) so relaxing.

MissKatbow · 1 year

I pick all his pimples and clean his ears for him. One time I took out a HUGE chunk of ear wax. Then we took pictures of it as proof of the moment.

blamethegoats · 1 year

I dig the eye goobers out of his eyes. Not just the solid flaky ones that can be brushed out of his eye lashes, but I'll fully get in there and scoop the goop out of the corners of his eyes. Actually, it's stranger that he's comfortable with me attacking his eyeballs like that. Hmm.

higginsnburke · 1 year

My so checked my IUD strings when I could find/reach them, he rubbed my grandfathers back when he was in the hospital sick. Love him dearly.

randpand · 1 year

Pluck his eyebrows. He needs it sometimes!

ilysespieces · 1 year

I clip the bf's toenail but because he would rather let them grow so long they cut socks than clip them himself. I don't even think he owns a toenail clipper (let alone a normal nail clipper). He really loves popping my pimples. No pimple is safe from him, and it doesn't matter what we're doing, when he notices one it gets popped. Though sometimes it sucks because he's always had good skin and doesn't understand that sometimes they just don't pop :(

I always want to pluck unruly hairs but he won't let me. I have to sneak attack.

ewoksandcandycorn · 1 year

Hmm. I don't think anything I do for my SO is weird, but he does some pretty fantastic things. He'll do almost anything to make me laugh, so we have a lot of ridiculously silly inside jokes that just crack me up. He legit will check for monsters/serial killers/other scary things if I freak myself out over a shadow on the ceiling, even going so far as to make sure my curtains are completely shut and moving my laptop so the blue light that tells me that it's plugged in doesn't freak me out. He lets me use his butt as a heating pad during shark week. And he makes me sleepy mix to burn before bed when I have insomnia.

tinkerfaery · 1 year

I used to date a guy who had psoriasis from head to toe... really bad. I used to help clean all the semi-loose skin from his ears, and his scalp. He absolutely loved it.

Meat_Related · 1 year

Haha came in here to say the toenails thing, perhaps it's not so strange after all?

I like washing his body and hair while he's sitting in the bath as well.

Higgy24 · 1 year

I pop pimples as well. I also shave/pluck unruly hairs and sometimes trim him armpit hairs. I'm not a fan of armpit hair. :)

thumpersoldiersgirl · 1 year

I pop his pimples, clip his toe nails and finger nails, tweeze hairs, and when we get in the shower I wash him and wash his hair then do my shower.

finalDraft_v012 · 1 year

I tweeze his eyebrows, and sometimes give him a face massage as I moisturize his face.

Escapade87 · 1 year

Searching his head for pimples and popping them, plucking eyebrows, waxing his back, moisturizing his face because he never thinks of using cream, sometimes washing his hair including a nice headmassage.

jaywrecks · 1 year

trim unruly ear hair. crossing my fingers he lets me pop his pimples soon.

gattofila · 1 year

I do the same for my S.O. He had to tweeze an out-of-control stray cheek hair for me last night that I couldn't get and boy did he not like doing that. Poor guy.

squishypoo91 · 1 year

I cut his toenails and tweeze his random nose hairs that get really long. He hates the process but I get some sick satisfaction from it. I also love brushing his hair after he's been sleeping on it

SmashedBrotato · 1 year

I pop the blackheads on his nose, and I pluck stray hairs from his face for him. I also do all the dishes in the apartment, unless I'm sick because then he won't let me.

supereggytoast · 1 year

I pull out his nose hairs with my bare hands when we can't find my tweezers.

yeuxsee · 1 year

I like to take his shoes off for him after a long day. It makes me feel nice and we talk while I do it. Also, he has surprisingly nice feet. Sometimes I give him a little foot massage too, but he's super ticklish so I have to sneak it in there, haha.

NetNat · 1 year

Pop his toes, tweeze his eyebrows and back hair, trim his armpit hair and nipple hair. My favorite is the toe popping :)

Also TIL we aren't as weird as I thought.

BardLover108 · 1 year

My SO and I pluck each other's eyebrows.

Rose1982 · 1 year

I cut his toe nails. He never asked me to do it, it's just something I like to do. It's a weird "picking at things" obsession I have. Most people think it's gross to touch another person's feet, and I wouldn't want to touch just anyone's feet, but I kind of like working on his and making them look better.

Speech_Less · 1 year

So, so, so many things....but I think that's what makes us great partners! We can do ridiculous stuff for each other that no one else would suspect or guess purely out of love and being 110% comfortable with each other!

masagoroll · 1 year

I don't really do anything particular like that for him, because he's a dignified/private kind of person, but my husband brushes my hair for me (not every day, but a lot) and scratches my back. :) If I get into bed and am really tired, he also does all the stuff I would normally do to get myself ready for bed (like bring me water, turn on my fan, etc.)

DevasKate · 1 year

He poops with the door open.

OxymoronParadox · 1 year

Not for my boyfriend, but for my brother. He has a mole on the side of his face that grows out a bunch of thick hairs. So once in a while I'll take some scissors and cut them as short as I can get. I would pluck them if a.) he wouldn't throw a hissy fit. b.) its actually really unhealthy to do that to your moles.
