What was the most memorable thing your lover did for you?

In today's busy world, we sometimes pay less attention to our significant other. I hope this discussion will allow us to take some time off and reflect on how much our partners have done for us, despite being us neglected sometimes, and maybe appreciate them a little bit more. Let me start off first: I love the song "8 days a week" by the Beatles. My partner hates the Beatles with a passion! I remembered I just lost my job and I was feeling really down. I slogged and worked so hard, sometimes at the expense of quality time with my partner, only to be thrown out at the end. It was devastating. I felt extremely useless. And due to me being depressed, I would often snap at my partner over the simplest of things. It was a tough time for me, and even a tougher time for my partner. It was like I became a different person. From being cheerful and positive, I became this dark, angry and sad person. It was a change that my partner found hard to cope with. One day I had a phone call and it was my partner. "We need to talk. Meet me at our usual meeting point." He sounded really sad, and I thought, "Great job. You lost your job and now you are going to lose him as well" So I put on my bravest face and met him at a park near my place. During happier times, we would sit there and talk about our future together, and how much we loved each other. And there I sat, feeling nervous and expecting the worst. I waited and waited... I heard a guitar strumming behind me. I turned around and there he was! And he began singing "8 days a week", while playing the guitar, down on one knee. Yes, he can't sing to save his life and his guitar playing would leave a packed arena empty in a second, but there was my guy...singing a song he hates and playing the guitar with no experience... "8 days a week, i loooooooooove you, 8 days a week, is not enough to show I care" I couldn't help it, tears just kept on flowing down...I dropped to my knees and began crying He hugged me, and said, "Baby, I know you are going through so much. But I want to let you know that you are still the person am in love with. You may have lost your job, but you will never lose my love. Shout, scream and throw whatever you can at me, but baby, know that I am not going anywhere...I am going to be here with you all the way" Those words will forever be engraved in my mind. It would have been so easy for him to walk away then, to leave a wreck like me. To find somebody else with less baggage and who will spend more time with him But he did not. He stayed. He accepted me for who I am, my ugliness and all. He would even go on his knees and sing a song he hates to his best ability just to put a smile on my face. There are no other words to describe my partner but perfect. And this is my most memorable thing that my lover did for me. :)
