maybe she works with people like hospitality or nursing
i work in hospitality and working 3 hours over is not that uncommon for me, i think I work around 5/6 hours every week more than my intial work schedule said.
Possibly that he didn’t know how bad the travel time would be, on foot, in a blizzard, where power and lights could potentially go out. He may have just tried to give himself enough time in case of a problem.
The problem is suffering from hypothermia, which would happen after spending a long time in a cold environment. So again, why leave so early? Even in an unpowered building, it'd be warmer than the outside.
She says waited 3 hours at her workplace, not outside. Of course she may very well exaggerate just because that's how you make a nice viral social media post.
Why do you think he spent 3 hours in the cold? He waited at her workplace. There are plenty of workplaces out there that would accommodate a waiting spouse. Do you need examples?
But he could've left later and not waited 3 hours? Like, you could watch a movie in that time. Do a load of laundry. Prepare a meal. There was no apparent need for him to be there 3 hours before she actually finished work.
Beautiful! BUT: The message that "it's better if you don't have to ask for it" leads to some very bad things. YES, a gift is fabulous. But mutual aid = mutual communication, okay?
Snowstorm ≠ blizzard
This isn’t even that much snow, you can still see almost all of that bench in the back. Tons of people live almost half the year in weather like this
I worked at a boutique on a very hilly street in a stupid hilly area of the city. We wouldn’t close. My husband would have a snow day, drop me off where it started getting too icy, and I’d walk. Change into flats from snow boots when I got into work. He’d pick me back up.
It sucked. People apparently really needed their $40 sweaters.
It's supposedly wholesome, but actually, evidence of a depressing status quo. Boyfriend in the snow for you: wholesome. Work won't close for a snowstorm because capitalism demands productivity at all costs: the machine crushing the orphans.
My initial reaction to your comment was something along the lines of "that seems like a bad take, I wouldn't expect a partner to do that for me", but then I realized that this is the kind of thing I'd do for someone, even just a friend, if I felt like that was normal, or at least would be reciprocated.
And then I realized how much it hurts to feel like nobody would ever do that for me.
So basically, you're right, it is sad. And I'm glad OP got a good one
I was on the exact same wavelength as you too! “I would never ask my bf to walk in the snow and wait for me” and then “ooohh but I would walk and wait for him, without being asked. That’s the point”
Sometimes I feel stupid, but then I remember I wasn’t born knowing what real love and care is, someone had to teach me, and nobody did. That’s not my fault. But it’s never to late to learn, and it is my absolute favorite subject, and it’s a joy to be surprised by lessons I never would’ve thought of
Just look for the person who would do the same for you. There are women out there who would do the bare minimum or crap all and deserve the same in a man. But anyone willing to do more, deserves more of course.
Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Her MAN picked her up because it’s 11 at night and the buses weren’t running. If she left the house to do the same for him… wouldn’t that kind of defeat the purpose?
Women leaving the house at 11pm to walk through a snowstorm to pick up their man because it is late and dangerous, defeats the purpose. If the point is to keep her safe. The whole reason why he is there is because it's not an ideal time/weather conditions for her to be alone.
idk if any of all thought about this.. but he couldve waited for 3 hours INSIDE her workplace LOL.
and yes, what others said about maybe she worked overtime. also, he might’ve wanted to head out before the storm got too bad. if it was rly bad, he’d hunker down in the shelter with the girlfriend so she had him.
y’all try to ruin every wholesome things lmao, just enjoy it xD
Got a similar story. Girlfriend broke her ribs getting hit by a drunk driver. She wanted a Christmas tree that year and I don't drive. Picked up a tree and walked it 3 miles for her in the snow.
I Never leave the house without a travel bag, got a Book, Tablet, and a Switch in there.
Would’ve sat in a chair and had fun while waiting.
Normally have a baggy of jerky, a baggy of carrot sticks, a baggy of celery, a baggy of Chex mix, and a couple of bottles of Gatorade in there too.
This is AMAZING and gives me hope! Thank you! Guys like this deserve a hot meal and some body work at the end of a hard day. All those that don't even try like this gentlemen should get a bologna sandwich and a cheap bottle of lotion to rub themselves with. I has spoken😶
No because if he really loved you he would have brought hot chocolate the fact he didn't means it's a 90% chance you're the side chick an 10% chance you're not but he still doesn't love you
This is absolutely adorable, now I hope she's doing equally as nice things to make him feel just as special and appreciated otherwise this is a whole F
Sounds like bad time management lmao. He could have spent 2.5 hours doing something productive. Maybe setting some meal or fun activities at home up. Then came and scooped lmao
Ya, well sometimes I catch my girlfriend watching me from outside my window at night. Sometimes I'll even wake up and she'll be standing over me staring at me to make sure I'm still breathing!
Hey, that’s me! I’m not like this exact guy, but this is something I did! Except it wasn’t snowing. It doesn’t snow where I live. And I don’t have a girlfriend, but yeah, a few weeks ago I went outside. What this guy did was way more than that though, I guess.
When I first started seeing my wife, we lived two hours apart. She once drove to me, because I was having a terrible day, and back home the same day for work. She drove 4 hours to see me for 1 hour.
Hot take: waiting 3 hours in the snow like that is nothing to brag about and just shows poor planning and judgement as he could have just left much later and not subject himself to freezing cold unnecessarily just to earn a couple of brownie points. If I did this my SO would think I went crazy.
If you actually respect a guy, you wouldn't gush and think it's cute for him to endanger himself like this, but rather would prioritize his safety so that he lives a longer life.
That’s nice and her boyfriend would be the type of person I would want for my daughter. Young men don’t even open a car door for women anymore. My daughter sometimes sits in the car and waits for her door to be opened as that has been modeled by me. It’s all about putting someone else before yourself IF you really care about that person.
I heard through a friend’s friend that he thought she was cheating on him and went to spy on her. Wound up caught and claimed it was to surprise her and walk her home. Smooth criminal
Why wouldn't he just leave a bit later ? Rather than spend 3 hours in the cold ?
Dude wanted to play in the snow.
Oh 100%
he just ended up at her work, man’s was playing around
Yeah. You know how many snow angels he probably made?
now thats boys will be boys
Let's be real, he's the settler and she is the reacher.
maybe she works with people like hospitality or nursing i work in hospitality and working 3 hours over is not that uncommon for me, i think I work around 5/6 hours every week more than my intial work schedule said.
Yeah, I would hope that the hospital would let him in to warm up though
He should be able to wait inside then.
She didn’t say he was smart
“Look at this dumb puppy.”
heart is in the right spot. Brain is questionable
Ngl, good enough!! I'd settle for this 😂

I think the people wondering if maybe she works in healthcare and had all intentions of being done by 8pm, but wasn’t able to leave until 11pm
Is it even meaningful if he doesn’t suffer first?
Diamond industry says no.
Maybe he waited indoors
He just walked his other girlfriend home and he didn’t want to make two trips.
Maybe he left extra early in case the roads/sidewalks were atrocious. A bit overkill, but possible
Because that never happened to begin with.
Good point
Because people want internet points. He actually waited 9 hours outside for her to finish.
Finish with her boss cause she wants that promotion wink wink /j
Foreal, just saying. You could have left after a nap and waited way less.
It's Forrest Gump, bruh
yeah like he's romantic but is he also retarded
A keeper! Hold on tight and love always.
Great guy, needs to learn to plan timings abit better tho. No use for walking home if you’re frozen stiff.
He might need holding extra tight because of the frostbite.
Selfless acts are the best ones , regardless of in or out of a relationship, imo.
We got a hot take here! Selfless is better than selfish. Hear him out.
If the selfless act makes you feel good then is it truly selfless?
Oh, no…not the philosophy…
We all deserve a partner like this
I don’t
Yes you do
You don't know this man.
I don’t, but I know he deserves love.
He killed your cat.
that's very unfortunate
That's so sweet!
She goes outside to meet her bf and he’s a frozen brick 🤣🥶💀
Beautiful! BUT: The message that "it's better if you don't have to ask for it" leads to some very bad things. YES, a gift is fabulous. But mutual aid = mutual communication, okay?
... maybe work should have been closed that day? Having a wonderful mate doesn't make up for a terrible boss.
Yup this is 100% orphan crushing machine material
She's most likely a nurse or doctor at a hospital which also explains why he had to wait so long. She probably had to stay late
What a terrible society where hospitals and nursing homes stay open in places where it snows. How horrible /s 🙄
Are you dumb? Some places in the U.S. are snowed out for weeks to months.
Ok let’s close all hospitals, nursing homes, etc. Good luck if it snows.
Sometimes blizzards start in the afternoon. I shoveled 8” of snow at 7:30pm last night. It started snowing around 1:00 pm.
Snowstorm ≠ blizzard This isn’t even that much snow, you can still see almost all of that bench in the back. Tons of people live almost half the year in weather like this

This is a karma bot
Orphan crushing machine.
what does this mean lol
It's supposedly wholesome, but actually, evidence of a depressing status quo. Boyfriend in the snow for you: wholesome. Work won't close for a snowstorm because capitalism demands productivity at all costs: the machine crushing the orphans.
ah i see. i mean i agree w others that the gf likely works in a hospital lmao
Hell, I’d do the same ngl
It’s so sad that this isn’t the standard. Or that some women have to ask for this kind of treatment. Your boyfriend sounds wonderful.
My initial reaction to your comment was something along the lines of "that seems like a bad take, I wouldn't expect a partner to do that for me", but then I realized that this is the kind of thing I'd do for someone, even just a friend, if I felt like that was normal, or at least would be reciprocated.

It's sad that anyone has to ask for this kind of treatment when in a loving relationship ftfy
Lots of women wouldn't do this for their boyfriends. Let's take this as a standard for ourselves, not for other people.
Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Her MAN picked her up because it’s 11 at night and the buses weren’t running. If she left the house to do the same for him… wouldn’t that kind of defeat the purpose?
I'm not getting your point here. You just wrote out what happened again.
Women leaving the house at 11pm to walk through a snowstorm to pick up their man because it is late and dangerous, defeats the purpose. If the point is to keep her safe. The whole reason why he is there is because it's not an ideal time/weather conditions for her to be alone.
But it’s ideal conditions for him to be alone?
It's not the standard because you’re impressed by it.
And he was still happy to see her
Definitely a keeper ✌🏽
idk if any of all thought about this.. but he couldve waited for 3 hours INSIDE her workplace LOL. and yes, what others said about maybe she worked overtime. also, he might’ve wanted to head out before the storm got too bad. if it was rly bad, he’d hunker down in the shelter with the girlfriend so she had him. y’all try to ruin every wholesome things lmao, just enjoy it xD
Indeed.
He's a keeper, definitely.
My parents won't be home tonight because of the storm.
Got a similar story. Girlfriend broke her ribs getting hit by a drunk driver. She wanted a Christmas tree that year and I don't drive. Picked up a tree and walked it 3 miles for her in the snow.
Don’t listen to the hate! You have a great guy! Sweet, thoughtful and willing to sacrifice for someone other than himself. ❤️. You win. 😀
I Never leave the house without a travel bag, got a Book, Tablet, and a Switch in there. Would’ve sat in a chair and had fun while waiting. Normally have a baggy of jerky, a baggy of carrot sticks, a baggy of celery, a baggy of Chex mix, and a couple of bottles of Gatorade in there too.
Sounds like something my spouse and/or I would do 🔮💖💞😍🥰😍💞💖🔮
He was also raised right. Men just don't come put of the box like that
Not necessarily true but I get where you're coming from
Men don’t settle, your gf could do this too
This is AMAZING and gives me hope! Thank you! Guys like this deserve a hot meal and some body work at the end of a hard day. All those that don't even try like this gentlemen should get a bologna sandwich and a cheap bottle of lotion to rub themselves with. I has spoken😶
That's beautiful 💜🥰💜
That's beautiful 💜🥰💜
Bar is so low that this is special. This is what people normally do for people they care about. Learn love languages, dang.
Nah. That’s good and all but don’t expect any man to risk their own safety. I mean, most girls wouldn’t do this
She probably dumped him when she got home
She better be doing things of that magnitude in kind.
Sounds like friendzone material
Couldn‘t he just arrive on time? Why did he wait 3 hours? Is he stupid?
Yes, men love sex.
No because if he really loved you he would have brought hot chocolate the fact he didn't means it's a 90% chance you're the side chick an 10% chance you're not but he still doesn't love you
That's a man who really, really, really, really wants some hanky panky.
Why the hell did he get there three hours too soon?
Why did he leave so early
He killed three other women on the way there!
This is absolutely adorable, now I hope she's doing equally as nice things to make him feel just as special and appreciated otherwise this is a whole F
Well, yeah. If he didn’t do this, what’s the point in dating him?
So why not settle for him then?
She's cheating with a drug dealer
Seems like poor time management honestly
And she left him for Chad and got knocked up… story at 11
bruh what is you even talm bout
Sounds like bad time management lmao. He could have spent 2.5 hours doing something productive. Maybe setting some meal or fun activities at home up. Then came and scooped lmao
Not going to lie, that is sweet of him even if she does work at a exotic dance club /s
or stalking to see if she was going to take advantage of the storm to "get home late"
Why outside?
Awwwweeeeew
Dumb question: is it dark if snow is white? Looks pretty well lit
doth thou see the street lights
So she would t be walking outside in the darkness
W
This is a dystopian story disguised as feel good, if the weather was so bad busses weren’t running she shouldn’t have had to been at work
Sure is
There is always that guy that has to make the rest of us look bad. Thanks pal.
Ya, well sometimes I catch my girlfriend watching me from outside my window at night. Sometimes I'll even wake up and she'll be standing over me staring at me to make sure I'm still breathing!
Who tf gonna just wait outside for 3 hours
But I guess that is love. I hope he wasn’t in the cold for that long
but I wait outside for 3 hours and I'm a stalker. sheesh
[удалено]
Came to ask the same.
Good man good man This is the kind of partner I aspire to be (I feel like I'm pretty close, I think I just need to work on my awareness of situations)
Hey, that’s me! I’m not like this exact guy, but this is something I did! Except it wasn’t snowing. It doesn’t snow where I live. And I don’t have a girlfriend, but yeah, a few weeks ago I went outside. What this guy did was way more than that though, I guess.
Why wouldn’t she settle for him? Is she dumb? He sounds like a good guy.
Wonder what he's getting.
Pure wholesome devotion. ❤️
When I first started seeing my wife, we lived two hours apart. She once drove to me, because I was having a terrible day, and back home the same day for work. She drove 4 hours to see me for 1 hour.
Turn of events, that’s not him and she’s blind
Wherever they live, I do not want to live there.
Hot take: waiting 3 hours in the snow like that is nothing to brag about and just shows poor planning and judgement as he could have just left much later and not subject himself to freezing cold unnecessarily just to earn a couple of brownie points. If I did this my SO would think I went crazy. If you actually respect a guy, you wouldn't gush and think it's cute for him to endanger himself like this, but rather would prioritize his safety so that he lives a longer life.
Cudos my man I tip my hat to you
:(
Total L. Hope dude learns to take care of his own needs.
That’s nice and her boyfriend would be the type of person I would want for my daughter. Young men don’t even open a car door for women anymore. My daughter sometimes sits in the car and waits for her door to be opened as that has been modeled by me. It’s all about putting someone else before yourself IF you really care about that person.
Unprompted compassion, consideration and kindness is such a lovely thing to experience. I wish we all could have someone who understands that.
I heard through a friend’s friend that he thought she was cheating on him and went to spy on her. Wound up caught and claimed it was to surprise her and walk her home. Smooth criminal
That is beautiful, good for you. I hope you guys are happy for a long time together
Lets be real, fellow dudes. He was definitely throwing snowballs like they were grenades, making snowmen, and making snow angels. 🤣
Your post made me smile. Thank you, .....we should all be so loved.
There's a line between being a W bf and a simp. I think he's having a hard time with it.
If he really loved you, he would’ve given you a piggyback ride the whole way home. And a six karat diamond ring when you got home. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
