Be able to have the patient to try to understand me and both of us look out for each other. Also, not being condescending but that is a bare minimum which sadly, not everyone follows. /:
Emotional maturity and financial responsibility
patience
Compassion.
Some of us need understanding from magnanimous people.
I chose my wife in large part for her honesty. It’s much easier to teach a brutally honest person to be more tactful than to teach a dishonest person to be honest.
not be an abusive narcissist.
I’d appreciate that
humour
Empathy
I want to be called out.
I love philosophy stuff and often I’ll start to form an opinion that’s a scientific or even problematic.
My lovely fiancé will often call out potentially shitty thoughts and I re-evaluate them.
Ability to communicate and compromise when needed.
The ability to kill a yak from 200 yards away
Isn’t this a physical trait though?
… with mind bullets!
You DO NOT want this. I made this mistake. I thought my partner could only do yaks. I was WRONG. I now have to stay 200 yards from them at all times or risk my own life.
You mean 201 yards away!
Oh no. I do. I hope my partner didn’t realize my mistake.
With mind bullets?
That’s telekinesis, Kyle
How bout the power of flight, that do anything for ya?
How about the power… to move you?
Trust.
All relationships are based on trust, without it, they are worthless
Patience. Im very stupid and I work a lot, so I dont always have time to spend with you.
willing to have calm debates and willingness to reevaluate ones stands on a matter.
This. We all grew up a certain way and like things a certain way. Lots of discontent can come from sharing a life with someone if you’re not will to reevaluate your new normal.
The will to understand other people and to grow as a person yourself.
