GOOD MORNING AND HAPPY SUNDAY!!
:cheerleader::clap::dance::banana1::woo:

I was pondering this last night.

What do you love most about your husband, wife, significant other, partner?

or

If you're not married or in a committed relationship, what is important to you in a potential one?

or

Do you choose not to be in a relationship?

For me, kindness, humor, intelligence, and love of cats are very important, as well as acceptance of my disability and my religion, Catholic. Also, he would have to be generous with other people, love food, and willing to try new things.

What about you?

I love how strong my husband is in many things. He is my rock....He can be stubborn, argue with me, and be different in many ways then what I perceive as good (like music and food) but that is OK, you can't be perfect. He is a 'good man' in a sometimes bad world and I love him for his big heart and gentle ways when it counts.....

My husband has a twisted sense of humor (which I do too) and he has a good heart (although sometimes to his own detriment).
Our marriage is pretty easy going even though we have had some pretty serious events together that tested our relationship and how we cope as a couple.
God only knows that he does try my patience, as I'm sure I do with him as well, but it's all good in the end.

He loves our cats and supports me unconditionally, especially now since I live away during the week. A lot of people would have tried to talk me out of it, but he knows that I want to be happy with the work I do and I think doing the program I'm doing now is the way to do it.

I love how my significant other has been playing hide and seek for all these years. It keeps me interested and wanting more! Everywhere I go, I wonder if he's just around the corner! :lol:

NO! But seriously... I want someone who isn't afraid to clean the bathroom and/or wash the dishes when my knee is acting up and I can hardly stand. :alright:

I want someone who communicate openly and tells me that he has a love/hate relationship with how snot comes out of my nose when I laugh. :disappointed:

I want someone who thinks of my needs and hands me a tissue when I laugh and there is snot on my upper lip from laughing. :salam:

I want someone who ask for my advice and values my opinions - especially when we're going out to that work thing or a friend's wedding and he's afraid his outfit doesn't look well put together. :itslove:

I want someone who isn't afraid to cry in front of me and ask for help. He puts his pride and ego aside... Hey, I won't judge you if things get tough, honey. That's what I'm here for. :hugs:



Okay, I'll stop. Getting carried away.

My fiancé is trustworthy, loves our cats, intelligent, and does the dishes, lol. He respects our differences in things where we have different views. It doesn't hurt that I find him attractive, either. :tongue:

I've been married to the same guy for many years and can't imagine living with anyone else at this stage of my life. :biggrin: Some of the most important qualities for me are honesty, generosity and sincerity. Religion is not a key factor since that would not necessarily bring me happiness or compatibility but I do appreciate that may be important to others.

P.S. I hope my husband doesn't read this or he may get a swelled head. :lol:

Your post made me giggle, not at you but because of how things are with us.

My husband is quite squeamish about getting "gross stuff" on his hands, he doesn't even like to put sunscreen or cream on. If he does help me with things like that he'll end up using WAY too much paper towels so his hands don't get "dirty", it's just best that I do it...he does other things instead. But he will help if I'm hurting though.

I thought I was the only one with way too much snot production!!!lol! I leak from every orifice when I laugh, yawn, brush my teeth...pretty much all the time something is leaking from me (from my face!:paranoid:)

At this point, he doesn't even think about what to wear, I just put out his clothes for him!

He's actually more open about displaying his feelings than I am. Remember the snot production thing? Well let's just say I don't have a "movie face" when it comes to crying. I'm not that vain, but I truly look like something out of a horror movie when I cry, everything swells up, everything leaks, I turn beat red, and spit if I talk, so I just trained myself not to cry in public. My husband though has the "movie face" his eyes water, tears will fall and he may get sniffles but he still looks handsome.

Not in a relationship. In my last he loved me because I was a good listener and could help him sort out the multitude of daily dilemmas he had. I did not love him because he was a bottomless pit of emotional need and never shut up about his issues. After that I have stuck to the enjoyment of my own company.
