What one thing do you like (love?) most about your current SO?

In my imagination, he, she or it is perfect!

Her smile. In the 60 years we’ve known each other that smile has never ceased to thrill me.

Her honesty.

She’s the only one who has been willing to put up with me for all these years. (We celebrated 29 years yesterday, 9/3/17)!

Happy Anniversary, @Strauss!

My partner makes friends easily, and cares deeply about every one of them. Both of those things are not things I am particularly good at myself – my feelings are limited to a small group of close friends, and others can, pretty much, come or go as they please.

I admire my partner’s ability to mourn a lost friendship (through death or distance) and willingness to forgive them when they have done wrong.

I know he truly cares about me. I don’t ever have to wonder.

Too many to list just one. He is honest, never cheated on me, is altruistic, takes care of me, and (most importantly to me) loves God.

Her intelligence, and the fact she has put up with me for over 28 years now, And she was more than glad not to have kids.
Sorry that was more than one, but I can just keep going on what I love about her.

Trying to narrow it down to one thing. I think I’ll choose the fact that he is so non-critical. My ex criticized me on so many things but my s/o just acts like he’s fine with whatever I say or do. No pressure.

Had to think about it, but really it’s that she makes me better. I like not only my world better with her in it, but myself better with her around. We each have our own things, and we need time on our own, but just knowing she’s there makes the rest easier.

I’d like to think I give her the same.

Also, she lets me pinch her butt. So that’s nice too. ~

His emotional maturity. He’s so grounded and because he’s so emotionally secure, he is calm, wise and empathic. I love being around him.

The list is long. Probably the #1 item is his logic. Faced with a problem, he can easily see the path to resolution, be it personal or global.

#2 has to be his sense of humour. It’s witty. He’s playful. It is not used harmfully.

#3 is that he is honest. He tells me what he wants and has been upfront about it, for the most part. He has been patient as the relationship develops. We both know that it is a work in progress.

There are many more, and most, not all, pertain to what I get out of the relationship, not what he is about. This is a wonderful man, and I am thankful to have him in my life.

The amount of time we have already spent together. All the struggles, happy times, and overall history as a couple. It makes me feel like we are very united.

Other specific items: honest, hard working, adorable, warm, caring, likes watching TV, funny.

As generous as he can be.

Her taste in men

He takes care of me when I’m sick.

My hubby is a great support. If you need anything he will be there for you.
