Nasty, brutish and short Grin (not true but couldn't resist the Hobbes' quote)

Generous, serious, strong.

DontFeedTheCatCake · 13/09/2019 08:37

Kind, wise, loving.

I think kind is very underestimated when looking for a partner. Having previously been married to someone who was all about the grand gestures but turned out not to have a kind bone in his body, it would always be the first trait I'd look for now.

@AndNoneforGretchenWiener I'm so sorry for your loss, your gallows humour did make me chortle. Flowers

I think for DH I'd say sincere, thoughtful and generous. I've got a goodun and feel v fortunate.

Dependable, funny, kind

ravenmum · 13/09/2019 10:15

Unexpectedly good match.

The post by @AndNoneforGretchenWiener conjures up such a brilliant love story :)

HollysTeflonSeptum · 13/09/2019 10:18

Argh didn't see yours GretchenWiener - mine must have seemed flippant at best. Sorry.

That'll teach me to RTFT.

Selfish, arrogant, man child - when he acts like a knob
