So, what kind of spouse are you/would you be (or partner, if marriage isn't your thing)?
When I met my husband, I didn't pull any stops. I ate the way I normally eat. Maybe with a little spaghetti on my face sometimes and I didn't sugar coat anything. No surprises.
I asked my husband, "if you could change one thing about me, what would it be?" He said "you ask too many questions... like that one." :\
So, what should a person know about you, if they were to live with you (legal documents or no).
Here is mine:
Oh and I'm pretty sure my feet are made of ice. Chiseled ice cubes.
I'll grab my partners feet, and if need be curl up at the foot of the bed, to warm them up.
lots of oral sex. Fully committed to enjoying the hell out of your partner enjoying it. (bonus points for returning the favor, but as long as I can do my thing, that's enough.)
If it turns into a battle for dominance, everyone looses, not only will I leave, once my tolerance breaks I'll put in some well aimed shots. (I am a lover not a fighter, but if it is war, it's magnificent)
Try to spend what you earn, I don't mind providing food and shelter, demanding jewelry beyond my capacity to provide it? Not cool.
it's only cute when I hog the covers, if you do the same, we need more covers, and on cold nights I will shamelessly burrow into your warmth.
I flirt with everything with a heart beat. That 160 year old turtle at the zoo, those cuttlefish in a tank? Random strangers in the street? Not planning on sleeping with them.
I am not planning on being anything but me, to avoid disappointment, learn what that is rather than making other plans for me (I'll endevour to do the same)
I fall asleep late (and wake up late too when I can).
I could spend pretty much all the time in the world with someone I really care about, though work would likely prove a major obstacle lol.
I like the quiet, but I also like loud music, so long as it's good music.
I'm not particularly scared of anything-I've already faced depression and decided nothing could be worse, so I'm pretty hard to frighten.
I don't like clutter but can live with it easily.
Usually my entire body is practically ice. I like my space heater and blankets.
Your funny you ask a very good question and its gonna take a little thought to answer properly
Due to sleep apnea, I nap during the day. I like quiet or a favorite show on TV. I HATE to be constantly on the move doing this or that! I suffer from chronic depression, ie. from time to time, or occasionally, I'm depressed for a few minutes. I HATE controlling women!
I work shift work which includes days, nights, holidays and weekends. I do get some days off of course!
If not for a CPAP machine, nobody else in the house would be able to sleep through my snoring.
I'm honest to a fault. Don't ask me a question that you don't want an honest answer to.
It generally takes a lot to truly get me angry and while I never raise my voice or a hand, you'll know when it happens.
I'm a fun and loving father and partner.
I'm very affectionate and faithful with my partner but I mostly bond through things that happen in the bedroom and I'm not the plain vanilla type. Be the demon in the sheets that I need and I'm yours forever.
After two divorces...thanks but no thanks....not going to compromise anymore...
I need a certain amount of alone time, depends on the day I have had or the project that has my attention.
I rarely watch TV.
The cat IS a person. She is my baby
I think I snore, I'm not sure because no one has complained of my snoring in a very long time, but then I've slept alone for a very long time.
Respect my kids.
There is a radio on somewhere in the house at all times. I have tinnitus, I keep the radio on to mask the ear noise. Sometimes it doesn't work. And frequently more than one radio.
No TV in the bedroom and I sleep with white noise and the ceiling fan on. Well, try to sleep.
I read lots of books, and sometimes stay up too late reading books. I read in bed.
I have very relaxed housekeeping standards.
I will never marry again, it would mess things up financially. However I am open to a very long term shack up. Why marry?
Don't leave the lid up.
I haven't been a spouse in over 10 years and I've grown accustomed to life without a partner. There would be competition with my alone time, so if they won that competition, they would expect:
My children are my primaries in life, always, but especially until they have their own lives living on their own. Also, they have an actively engaged father in their lives, and he and I get along fairly well. His parents have stepped in and love me unconditionally after the death of my folks. They will always be a part of my life.
R.E.S.P.E.C.T. you'll find out what it means to me--including but not limited to the ability to clean up your person and your space without my help. I have children to whom this is taught, I do not need to teach this to a grown man.
I give 110% in a relationship and perhaps the reason they don't last is that I expect the same in return. I haven't "answered" to someone in years, that may or may not be easy.
I have a serious aversion and physical reaction to loud noises and voices. So don't.
I like it when a plan comes together. I am working on not being rigid or bothered when plans change. I do like to plan a day of spontaneity though.
I despise horror films, pranking people, most rap music and country music. I do have a great sense of humor and comedic timing.
I take the time to appreciate little things. I actually will comment throughout a day on little things I notice and try looking through a different perspective.
I am allergic to animal dander. I am not a lover of cats. I do like dogs; however, I feel that dogs should not be alone all day/night, and just be convenient for the owner. It's a HUGE commitment that requires enormous time and energy. Also, I don't think it's fair to the animal if the owner cannot financially manage medical expenses. Oh and I have no interest in cold blooded creatures without arms and legs that slither or need to be heated on rocks. Same goes for more than four legged creatures or ones that fly or require a perch.
"A new Level of Hell, not found in the bible" that's what she said before closing the door.
