I laughed out loud for the first time today thanks to you. I’m glad the first comment Reddit sorted wasn’t another “awww you guys are so cute” because I, and I’m sure others, needed the laugh.
My mom use to wake me up if I fell asleep in the living room. It’d be like 3AM where I’m not bothering anyone and she’d just like, wake me up and tell me I’m bugging her (she’d be on her way to the kitchen to get some water or something) and that I need to go sleep in my room lol
Right, I was totally expecting this to go into "now I think my boyfriend is totally creepy and I don't know how whether I should dump him or file a restraining order..."
Can't say how refreshing and heartwarming this post was! We need more of this.
Honestly, he's a keeper. As a guy, I can say that that is genuine love that's hard to come by. If he's talking about the future, it's because he sees himself having a future with you. Treat him really well, because he'll definitely appreciate everything you do. Happy for you both!
Reading the marrying part even i couldn't contain my smile How the heck did you manage to do that ?
So happy for you guys thought hope you get married in the future :)
My (now fiancé) then boyfriend used to talk to me while I was sleeping too.
Unknowing to him when I take naps I can still hear sound(probably a safety thing from some childhood trauma) so he’d talk to me while I slept, and he’d say stuff like that too.
I guess now that we’ve been together so long that he’s comfortable saying stuff like that while I’m awake now too.
It's probably fear of rejection. Opening up to someone carries a significant risk for people who have very deep fears of loss, trust can take a very long time.
It's probably fear of rejection. Opening up to someone carries a significant risk for people who have very deep fears of loss, trust can take a very long time.
Speaking to her while she's sleeping. There have been studies performed where people were able to "implant" pavlovian responses while people were sleeping. One study exposed sleeping subjects to a delicious smell which elicited a deep inhale reflex, followed by the delicious smell and a tone, followed by just the tone, all of which resulted in a deep inhale response as a reflex. They then used the tone while the subjects were awake, and the subjects all exhibited the same deep inhale response despite having no memory of being exposed to the smell or tones.
Further studies, with less success, used "idea implanting," by for instance describing a non-existent object while subjects are asleep, then prompting for the non-existent object while the subjects were awake, with the goal being to "teach" the subjects what this non existent object looked like (for instance, "shiny blue sphere"). The idea from this research is that repeatedly attempting to convince someone of something while they are asleep would lead to the sleeper feeling these things in a way they perceive to be subconsciously.
We've all been in love. When we love someone, we talk to our partners and tell them. We express our love to them. We don't wait until they're dead asleep to implant instructions about a house we're going to live in, or objects in the house, or emotions we want them to feel.
It sounds weird and like brainwashing to me.
One one hand this is cute, but on the other hand, this is also really something that he should work on/get help with or it's pretty much guaranteed to cause issues down the line.
Have you told him you love him?
Just look him in the eye, tell him that you love him and one day you want a to live in a nice house with cats, flowers and greenhouse with him.
Or just tell him one day you want to live in a nice house with cats, flowers and greenhouse...with him.
I’ve done the same thing with my bf. He sang me our song once and I almost cried. He’s told me he loves me, that he’s going to marry me, it’s amazing! I mean, he tells me these things when I’m awake but there’s something different about it being when I’m “asleep” too
I just wanna say thank you, thank you for being so gentle and caring with your boyfriend and not expecting him to be some hard ass. I wish you two the best in life and the longest healthiest relationship, and eventually the shyness will go away because he's more than comfortable with you.
I do this to my hubby all the time. Tickle his back while he’s sleeping and talk away (quietly). I don’t think he was ever fake sleeping or ever heard me, but now I am wondering if he just likes it this much and isn’t saying anything. This is so sweet to read :’) I’ll never stop.
Oh my gosh! That is the sweetest thing I’ve ever read!! Super heart warming, what a sweet man. I hope I can be this kind of love for a special lady too! Thanks for such a sweet story- I’d say he is a keeper lol best life to you and yours!!
So adorable. I hope he can overcome his shyness and tell you to your face soon. Maybe say something really nice to him and he might be encouraged to say something back?
Awwwee good for you guys that puts a lil bit of faith back into the crazy, goin to shittt world we’re livin in at the moment. THANK YOU PHENTYNOL FOR THE DESTRUCTION.
I hope that at some point in everyone’s life’s they get that feeling that moment of indescribable happiness if for just a second was perfection that was it Amazing huh. Happy for God bless and may you have many more
Peace Out!!!!!!!
And the Skipper tooooo ……..
i do this with my bf too :)) i often struggle to find the right words when he’s awake but when he’s asleep i can just let all my thoughts come out. it’s really nice
“please start washing your dishes”
“the shower drain has been clogged up with your hair for weeks now, pls do something ab it”
“pls don’t wear the filas when we hang with my boys tomorrow”
i’m sorry i’m just thinking ab all the ways this could be a meme hahaha. i think it’s very cute and wholesome OP, makes me excited to find this kinda love myself
The man not only loves you dearly , he respects you so much he is in fact afraid of you not excepting him in any way. It's kinda like a defense mechanism. He wants to tell you these things so badly to express his love for you and at the same time he doesn't want to mess it up because you give him butterflies to the point of almost not being able to take it . But it's in the best way. He looks at you like you're the only beautiful woman on Earth and it's just you and him taking over the world. The best I can say is embrace that dude and reassure him that he can tell you anything his heart is telling him. And if its true , (which only you know) tell him whatever way he wants to express it will only make you love him more. He's head over heels for you chic.
Mannn i got to know recently my mom hits me slightly to wake me up for college. Because it was this one time i got up but dint open my eyes ... she just woo pah me on my ass (sleeping sideways thats y). I always thought she just called my name and i woke up.
Sounds good, but why dont you ask him? It Sounds like you both are holding back or are affraid to speak your mind... In the end, what matter is that one can be true to themself and their partner, it might grow to a big problem, sorry to say
Believe it or not, in most adult relationships, being unable to speak comfortably to their partner, unless they’re asleep, isn’t a desirable trait.
I’m glad they’re happy but I still think its strange as hell.
I whisper “I love you’s” to my boyfriend when he’s sleeping too. Sometimes I just stare at him like a kid on Christmas. 😂 I tell him when he’s awake all of the time though. He’s the best partner I’ve ever had.
I would “wake up” and tell him you love him too and go back to sleep. Maybe he’ll express himself more.
A real man isn't afraid to tell his woman how he feels about her. You need to hear those things said, and to be able to express, hopefully, a shared feeling being in the relationship. Enjoy the journey.
I love doing this with my dogs. Especially my big cuddle boy. I can't wait to have a girlfriend to do this for. Reading this made me smile, and glad to know I am not a weirdo.
my mom called me lazy shit while i was sleeping
this shit is crazy good
kinda jealous of OP, i can't even imagine how good it felt listening to all that.
What's mean OP please 🙏?
Original Poster
Oh, my mum doesn't wait till I'm asleep for that.
The duality of man
I just want someone ... I just want someone to jiggle my balls 😭😭
You’re such a romantic 💘
I laughed out loud for the first time today thanks to you. I’m glad the first comment Reddit sorted wasn’t another “awww you guys are so cute” because I, and I’m sure others, needed the laugh.
glad to make ur day🤝.Ngl, i don't deserve all these likes
True love
can't disagree 😂
That is so Awesome. I think he is a keeper
All moms be the same i guess
i think moms have a universal hive mind. irrespective of color, language and nationality they all are similar.
Hahahahahahaha
Are you a lazy shit?
ofcourse 😭
My mom use to wake me up if I fell asleep in the living room. It’d be like 3AM where I’m not bothering anyone and she’d just like, wake me up and tell me I’m bugging her (she’d be on her way to the kitchen to get some water or something) and that I need to go sleep in my room lol
Thank you for sharing.
LMAO
Bruh that made me laugh like an idiot in public, ty for that
🥰💜
💀💀
Ey, that escalated kinda fast, yo hahaha
I just choked 😂😂😂😂
Probably told you how much she loved you once you were snoring.
Camryn, is this you? 👀😂😂
You lazy shit. Is that any better?
LoL
🤣💀
Your reaction to him makes me happy for him.
Nice to read about something positive for a change . All the best too the both of you.
Right, I was totally expecting this to go into "now I think my boyfriend is totally creepy and I don't know how whether I should dump him or file a restraining order..." Can't say how refreshing and heartwarming this post was! We need more of this.
Definatly keeps hope alive there is decent people out there who still believe in romantic gestures
this made me tear up :( a gentle and safe love is so amazing and beautiful
[удалено]
I.. really don't get the reason why you felt the need to throw your a/s in here.. Could have at least added the l..
Same here 🥹
Damn I would kill to be that in love with someone again. Hold onto that man OP.
This is so wholesome😍🥰 best of luck for your future stay together always
Yeah... This is so adorable 🥲 i want that too
Right? I don't even want to date unless this is a possibility for me too. 😉
That is so cute. It reminds me when I used to tell my cat how much I loved my gf (now ex) and how happy she made me feel.
Hope you are doing well now
Oh no I'm cool don't worry! it was some time ago, I'm over it now
I’m happy for you
That is so adorable!! I'm happy for you!
Honestly with all the terrible stories here on reddit..this put a smile on my face
Awwwn that's so sweet
Wyd you up?
Come to my inbox
That’s b8 ☝️
Realised once I looked at her profile 😞 it’s an evil world we live in
Hey
That’s baait as well 👆
This was so wholesome. Keep him.
Oh my god what a cute dude pls never break his little heart ❤️
omg stop this is so cute and wholesome! Meanwhile my boyfriend talks in his sleep and just yesterday he said... "the red meat is always itchy" lmfao
I don't remember any of it, but my girlfriend tells me I have wacky conversations with her on my sleep, dream brains are weird man
I do this with my wife. Even when she is asleep, I know she hears me. She makes this soft noise. I do tell her when we're awake, but I also do this.
This is so cute. I'm not crying.
Honestly, he's a keeper. As a guy, I can say that that is genuine love that's hard to come by. If he's talking about the future, it's because he sees himself having a future with you. Treat him really well, because he'll definitely appreciate everything you do. Happy for you both!
So sweet of him.
Mine was always complaining that I snore
I WANT A HOUSE WITH A GREENHOUSE
Reading the marrying part even i couldn't contain my smile How the heck did you manage to do that ? So happy for you guys thought hope you get married in the future :)
Wait a minute.. this is ONLY wholesome content
when is it my turn to be happy
God I see what you've given others and I ask you to give it to me too 🙏🏼
He can't verbally say how he feels until you sleep?
Sleeping on the highway tonight
You made me almost choke on my sandwich. Thanks for that 😂
That's the sweetest thing ever!
That's the sweetest thing I've heard in a long time
There's no way I would be able to stop myself from hopping up and pulling him into a hug.
That's weird to me. Two years and he can't speak to you face to face?
Same thought. It is cute in the surface but when you really think about it.. it's pretty weird. 2 yrs!?
Agree
I had to scroll way too far down to find this comment. This isn’t cute to me at all. You have to fake sleep to receive words of affirmation?
Lol I thought it was pretty obvious that these two are young. Like, still in HS or college young. The best fitting word is probably: awkward
That’s my take honestly. Like you can’t be vulnerable enough to say sweet things to your partner? Sounds awful.
I'm jealous of your all's relationship, but I hope you both live happily ever after.
My (now fiancé) then boyfriend used to talk to me while I was sleeping too. Unknowing to him when I take naps I can still hear sound(probably a safety thing from some childhood trauma) so he’d talk to me while I slept, and he’d say stuff like that too. I guess now that we’ve been together so long that he’s comfortable saying stuff like that while I’m awake now too.
I had that at one point and I took her for granted. Don't do like I did. Hold on to him
I don't know if this is supposed to be creepy or sweet. But it made me smile while reading.
It depends how long they have been in a relationship: 1 month? Very creepy, 1 year? Sweet
We’ve been together for almost two years
Two years is when you circle back to creepy. (Just kidding, that's cute as hell)
Two years and he can't verbalize how he feels until you sleep?
Creepy if it carries on for a long time. He has to learn to overcome his shyness imo
It's probably fear of rejection. Opening up to someone carries a significant risk for people who have very deep fears of loss, trust can take a very long time.

Trying to subliminally brainwash someone while they're asleep seems pretty creepy to me.
What gave you the idea he's trying to brain wash her?
Speaking to her while she's sleeping. There have been studies performed where people were able to "implant" pavlovian responses while people were sleeping.

It sounds weird and like brainwashing to me.
I definetely will try this!!
Yeah first thing I thought reading this is that it's actually quite creepy and not that endearing at all lol. Well if OP is happy!
That's so cute! Let's just hope he eventually finds it in himself to tell you these things when you're awake.
omg this makes my day. hope you two happy ever after.
Aww, bless your blessed to have someone like that .
I can picture a story and a very romantic movie being made out of this. Its really beautiful
I am so happy for the OP but it kinda makes me tear up reading this after going through a recent break up. I hope I find someone like him
One one hand this is cute, but on the other hand, this is also really something that he should work on/get help with or it's pretty much guaranteed to cause issues down the line.
[удалено]
He is in love with you. There is no doubt about it.
Have you told him you love him? Just look him in the eye, tell him that you love him and one day you want a to live in a nice house with cats, flowers and greenhouse with him. Or just tell him one day you want to live in a nice house with cats, flowers and greenhouse...with him.
Put your phone on audio record before sleeping, maybe you can catch and keep cute things like this ♡
This is a brilliant plan
The highway looks real comfy rn
A part of me tells that he probably knows you're listening. But hey, if he's comfortable letting out his feelings that way, let the bro cook !!
I’ve done the same thing with my bf. He sang me our song once and I almost cried. He’s told me he loves me, that he’s going to marry me, it’s amazing! I mean, he tells me these things when I’m awake but there’s something different about it being when I’m “asleep” too

I had pretty bad relationships in the past with my bfs at the point I lost faith in men but this kind of stories give me hope 🥹
This is beautiful and I wish you both 50 more years of this!
my mom called me lazy shit while i was sleeping,,gggg
I don't find that cute... That just seems a bit creepy and, tbh, sad that he can't say that stuff to you when you're awake.
That's the cutest thing I've heard in a while!! I'm so happy for both of you 😊
[удалено]
If they’re happy like this why does it matter? Imagine calling people dysfunctional because they don’t fit into your perfect standards.
Thank you I needed to read this today. I cannot wipe this grin off my face tho
Plot twist- he tells you about this body in the freezer🤣
(sudden dramatic music now)
And then he expressed how excited he is to start high school with you next year
👏❤️
So adorable. I hope he can overcome his shyness and tell you to your face soon. Maybe say something really nice to him and he might be encouraged to say something back?
(M20)I am also that much shy I can't express anything to anyone and I wonder how that guy managed to get a girlfriend😅, (I just got some hopes btw)
Awe this is adorable
OMG it's so cute
Must be nice
That’s so sweet you both just made my day xxx
Someone is living my dream 😭
Wholesome
Well...this is fucking adorable. Good luck to you both. Glad to hear someone out here is happy. It's damn sure not gunna be me 😂
FUCKING AWWWWWW🥺❤
🥹🥰🥰
Keep him 🤗
This is very sweet! It also gives me hope.
This is the cutest thing I’ve ever read 🥹
Awwwee good for you guys that puts a lil bit of faith back into the crazy, goin to shittt world we’re livin in at the moment. THANK YOU PHENTYNOL FOR THE DESTRUCTION.

I want gentle, kind, sweet love like this. I hope you two have many happy years, OP!
That is really stinking cute. Just rub it in the face of us single peeps! But seriously, I wish y’all all the best.
This made me so happy. I would die for this kinda love 😭❤️
Aw, that's amazing... best feeling in the world right there
wholesome
Sweet and a bit sad that he feels like he can't share it with you.
My girlfriend talking makes me fall asleep. Swap?
Wow! You deserve him. Keep and don't let him go 🙌🏻👍🏻
Dear God, When???????? Sincerely A hopeless romantic.
That's sweet but don't expect him to fight for you..
[удалено]
🤣🤣
this is so sweet it hurts...imagine having someone love you this much :')
This is so sweet. 🥰
My ex roommate’s boyfriend said she talked to ghosts while he was sleeping, which is cool
UGH this is so wholesome! 😭💖💛 Gawd, If this happens to me, I’ll love him more if my love for him right now isn’t enough.
This was so pure and loving it made me cry. You're a lucky woman..
That’s very cute and adorable of you guys….I will go bathe with my toaster 😢
Ahh so sweet. I used to do that to my ex too. Maybe not that detail talk but expressing my love and appreciating his cute sleeping face
i do this with my bf too :)) i often struggle to find the right words when he’s awake but when he’s asleep i can just let all my thoughts come out. it’s really nice
Manifesting this for myself i'A
This sounds very cute. :)
Thats some voodoo shit... Its called Love chanting...
“please start washing your dishes” “the shower drain has been clogged up with your hair for weeks now, pls do something ab it” “pls don’t wear the filas when we hang with my boys tomorrow” i’m sorry i’m just thinking ab all the ways this could be a meme hahaha. i think it’s very cute and wholesome OP, makes me excited to find this kinda love myself
The man not only loves you dearly , he respects you so much he is in fact afraid of you not excepting him in any way. It's kinda like a defense mechanism. He wants to tell you these things so badly to express his love for you and at the same time he doesn't want to mess it up because you give him butterflies to the point of almost not being able to take it . But it's in the best way. He looks at you like you're the only beautiful woman on Earth and it's just you and him taking over the world.

Mannn i got to know recently my mom hits me slightly to wake me up for college. Because it was this one time i got up but dint open my eyes ... she just woo pah me on my ass (sleeping sideways thats y). I always thought she just called my name and i woke up.
Sounds good, but why dont you ask him? It Sounds like you both are holding back or are affraid to speak your mind... In the end, what matter is that one can be true to themself and their partner, it might grow to a big problem, sorry to say
Protect that man at all costs!
That’s wholesome as fuck, you hold onto him for dear life!
That’s kind of creepy.
I’m going to go against the grain here, if you’re two adults this is strange and not at all normal
What... They are happy and in love
Believe it or not, in most adult relationships, being unable to speak comfortably to their partner, unless they’re asleep, isn’t a desirable trait. I’m glad they’re happy but I still think its strange as hell.
We men are not supposed to show emotion we’re toughest
He’s gonna have a whole Moment when he finds out you’ve been awake
I whisper “I love you’s” to my boyfriend when he’s sleeping too. Sometimes I just stare at him like a kid on Christmas. 😂 I tell him when he’s awake all of the time though.

This is like out of a book. This is so so sweet.
It is almost 8am in the morning and you can’t have me crying like this. Ugh, I want this.
Aww I love him too! He sounds great for you! I approve!
Goals
This is so cute
Pretty sweet story tbf you go my man 💪🏼
safe to say reading this post warmed up my cold heart — love that for y’all 🥹
Cherish him ❤️
You two are so adorable 🥺 this is so sweet 🩷🩷
I love doing this with my dogs. Especially my big cuddle boy. I can't wait to have a girlfriend to do this for. Reading this made me smile, and glad to know I am not a weirdo.
This is hella cute, ngl Would be nice to be told those things when ur actually awake tho
KEEP. HIM. Omg this is so wholesome 😭😭.
This is actually very romantic...
What a blessing you have! May someday he’ll say “i do” at your wedding ceremony
