The nicest thing someone's ever done for meIn amongst all the tales of bitterness and poo, we occasionally get fluffy stories that bring a small tear to our internet-jaded eyes.
In celebration of this, what is the nicest thing someone's done for you? Whether you thoroughly deserved it or it came out of the blue, tell us of heartwarming, selfless acts by others.
Failing that, what nice things have you done for other people, whether they liked it or not?

My Wifewas in a similar situation with her ex. They spent over 10 years together - he was in his 30s when they met, she was barely 17.
During that time he stript her of any self-confidence that she may once of had. He convinced her she was ugly and that no-one else would want her, he made her take out loans to pay his debts (some of which we're still paying off now) and eroded her self-esteem. Despite having a son with her he simultaneously had a baby with another woman.
When I met her she was a shadow of the bubbly, confident person she used to be. I've spent the last 3 years trying to rebuild her confidence and her self-esteem, telling her she's beautiful and that she makes me happy. And, just occasionally, I get a brief glimpse of the woman she must have been before she met him, and my hatred for the man grows stronger.
Be strong, but don't make the same mistake again. May you find happiness with a man who respects you and cares for you and makes you feel special. We do exist!

thanksI won't say all men are assholes, because clearly they aren't.. but when you hear things like this you can't help but feel a bit bitter. People are assholes. Those ones that prey on the weak, to trample them down in order to make themselves feel better - no one realises how poisonous they are until you've been stung.
I feel for your wife.. and i applaud you for being so patient with her.. it is hard living with people, especially people we love, when they don't realise how great they are. How you know they could do anything they set their mind to if only they believed in themselves.. it's hard watching the struggle. I'm sure with your continued support she will get to be that confident person she was before she was broken.. she just needs to realise it for herself - the biggest step of all.
