what do you want from a relationship

[markfromark]

I want:

 

- a partner who is my best friend

- absolute trust

- fidelity (mental and physical)

- have a partner who lets me grow

- have a partner whose face lights up when s/he sees me

- a partner who laughs at my jokes

- a partner who tells me what s/he thinks and does not BS me

- children

- a partner whom I can tell (some of) my innermost thoughts and not get laughed at

- a partner who does not run at the first sight of problems

- a partner who cares for me when I am sick

 

 

what else? Can you add to this list?

 

All of those I am willing to offer to someone. Don't most of us probably want the same but at some point in the relationship one person starts to change their mind. Can you tell me what causes people to abandon this list?

That says it all basically except children. I'm undecided on that one.

Nice list, I'm with you on that. To be perfectly honest though, as much as I would like to give all that, at any given time there is usually at least one that I can not give.

I don't think I'm alone on that. I no longer expect the entire list at all times.

 

anyways, i'd add one more too.

Someone to hear my voice when I speak, so that I don't go days without using it.

 

 

 

 

Someone to be so excited and proud that they have me that they out our relationship to the world without discussing it with me.... (oh, wait. I ALREADY have that one....lol)

Hi

 

I want a partner that is supportive.

As partner, we learn and grow together. Make mistake and laugh at the mistake and start life all over again.

 

A partner that lend me shoulder when I am tired of the real world.

 

I would like to be a full time mom.

Don't expect much, then!

 

My daughter isn't far off fulfilling that list.
