What Is Your Partner Like?

That sums it up pretty well!

 

When I say folk, I more mean my friends and "family".

 

My partner is not tall but built well and incredibly handsome in a rugged sort of way. His eyes are sensual and moody as though they hold something really sacred. His smile is like a picturesque scene and I can never take my eyes off it.

He is feisty and wont take shit from anyone which I love. He likes to weigh people up before forming friendships and is careful in whom he places his trust. He has a mysterious air about him that can come across as dismissive but his friends know that this is just him observing the situation. He is a total clean freak and i'm really messy and clumsy lol. He is artistic and has painted the most beautiful pictures. I too am artistic so that's a plus. He isn't one for reading at all, i'm the book geek. He is masculine and passionate but at the same time very gentle and generous. He'll tell me if he disagrees with me and out me in my place which I sometimes need because I too am very stubborn and if he sees me hurting he will wrap his arms around me and tell me it will all be ok.

We both look for signs in life and he has his lucky number 8. I have done mediumship and am part pagan and we are both quite psychically in tuned. He likes modern looking things and gadgets and i'm quite old fashioned and love the homely cosy look. We love the same foods and have most of the same views.

Above all nomater what life throws at us, we cant bear to be apart and we laugh like you wouldn't believe. He's my everything.

 

Not really. If it is nowadays it is probably because death metal has merged with indie rock

Although I can relate a bit and would agree at first instance I think it might not be a standards thing or that they are so high. Maybe it has more to do with that unreasonable aspect. Unreasonable expectations (not saying we should drop all those expectations!), unreasonable antisocial, unreasonable aversions, etc. etc.

Yes, I've got no partner either

 

I already posted on page one but I was in a hurry so here is a longer description.

I'll just get this out of the way and say she's a pretty damn good looking woman but that isn't why I wanted her. When I was single, I was quite sure that I would never get married again and had broke up with some hot women just because they wanted a different life than I did. I changed my tune real fast once I realized I might have a shot with my wife. We were pretty good friends for about 7 years before we got together so we both had a pretty good understanding of each other. I never thought I could land her but she was the only woman I knew who met my list of what I would would want in a wife if I ever decided to remarry and I had a huge crush on her from the day I met her. She was perfect!

She's smart, funny, creative and she's the kind of person who gets things done. She's confident and was already successful on her own. She didn't really need me for anything except to love her and share our lives together. She's not a clingy or emotionally needy person who worries about what I'm doing while I'm not around her. She's very logical. She can be super blunt and to-the-point or very diplomatic. Sometimes people who don't know us very well mistake our honesty with each other as some type of hostility. Incorrect. We both have zero tolerance for passive-aggression. We aren't necessarily like that to other people unless we have to be but we appreciate our style of communication with each other. My wife tells people "One nice thing about this kind of relationship is that you never wonder what the other person thinks of something. We'll tell you!"

But one good example of the person she is might be this.....for her whole life, she wanted to be a mom. When people would ask what she wanted to be when she grew up, she would always say "A mom". When we got together, her career in business was doing great but she told the company that we planned on having a child and she would be quitting once that happened. This was a privately-held company with 163 stores. She was their young rock star (she was 28) and they didn't want to lose her. The vice-president was retiring and they offered her a promotion to vice-president and all the maternity leave she wanted to convince her to stay (she was already on the next rung down). She meant what she said though. When she went on maternity leave...she was done. I left the decision completely up to her and she followed through on what she said. That's one of the things I love about her.

 

My wife is an angel, I'm a bum. We've been together 30 years. She had an ad in the Washington post for a room mate. We made a deal on the first day, that if she let me be me, and I let her be her, we would get along fine. She's agreed for the most part, but you know how manipulative women are. They just can't help it, it's in their DNA. She's finally "trained" me to do the dishes the way she wants them done...kinda.

She's got an eating disorder, I've got a floozy disorder. I let her eat, she lets me fool around. But I'm a loyal dog, I always come home. Her eating disorder gives her a low libido. But now that I'm an old fart, I'm starting to think more with my big head. So my floozy disorder is fading some.

She makes a lot of money, I'm on SS. She's a great sugar mama. Buys me anything I want. If it wasn't for her health insurance (which covers me) I'd be dead right now.

 

We often disagree on things to, don't have to agree on everything, that is what makes us individuals.
