Note: Prepare for a lot of sarcasm.

Not sharing your relationship details on Facebook
He also gets serious brownie points for never (ever) posting passive aggressive statuses about the fights you guys have. The amount of self-restraint is just mind-boggling in this day and age.

Aaaw! He Facebook stalked you to find out what foods you’re allergic to and what your favorite movie is. How sweet.

Standing up for you…on Facebook
Some guy bullies you, on Facebook, and your guy stands up for you, on Facebook. The comment thread is just blowing up under your status. The tension is palpable. He’s made it clear that he won’t allow people to disrespect you like that.
Using his Uber app
“Oh honey, don’t worry. I’ll stand on the street corner and hail a cab…errr…I mean push a button on my phone.”
