10 Sneaky Signs He Loves You Unconditionally

Sure, it's nice to hear "I love you," or have it pop up in a spontaneous text, for that matter, but it's even better when you just get it. By Brie Schwartz, REDBOOK.


1. When your girlfriends come over to vent, he doesn't disappear to the other room. He pours himself a glass of wine and joins the conversation--which is good, because they love hearing his relationship advice.

2. He brings you fro-yo (extra crunchies on the side!) without you asking. He may not understand how you could possibly crave it over ice cream, but he instinctively knows when you need the stuff--unlike when you just casually want it, a.k.a. every night.

3. He agrees to take couple selfies in public, even though he finds them embarrassing.

4. When your daughter scores the winning goal at her soccer game, or you get to attend an exclusive event together, he'll post the "braggy" on Facebook so you don't ruin your social media cred.

5. He streams baseball games on his MLB app just so he can cuddle up next to you while you watch Veronica Mars on the TV.

6. When you've had a stressful day and you just really need a vat of Pirate's Booty to make it through, he'll join in on your "cheat night." Even though you're both trying to eat better, he humors your nutty logic that calories don't count when there are two people splurging. He'll just run a little further tomorrow.

7. When he goes to Costco to pick up diapers, he also buys you a case of Easy Mac, because he remembers you saying it was your guilty pleasure in college.

8. When you crawl into bed, he immediately lifts up his arm so you can wedge yourself into his nook. Have you ever had a 10-pound bowling ball resting on your chest all night? It is not comfortable. But he does it for you.

9. He swaps out the head on the electric toothbrush you share whenever he's done, so it's always ready for you

10. He lets you tweeze his brows and puts up with you teasing him for how much he squirms. (Get a Brazilian, then you can talk about pain.) Trusting you with a sharp object between his eyes-now that's love.
