How did you know your partner was a good 'un?

[Dogmum47]

Just that really. How did you know your partner was a kind and trustworthy person, what were the green flags? I haven't had much luck with my previous dating history and long term relationship so looking for a bit of positivity that I might meet a good man! Anything to run from might be handy too in fairness 😂

True, it was more the level of rage that a dlsituation like that would cause and directing that to a stranger that was a red flag to me, if that makes sense. It's wasn't a calm confrontation and I eventually realised he would intimidate others

I get on well with my brother and he was my brothers friend.

He made time to find out what I liked and made sure we spent time doing that.

I hated my job and he helped me find a new one that required retraining. He even helped me revise for he exams.

We went out one Saturday on a warm sunny day and my period came on early. I was starting to panic and cry when he asked what was wrong. I e planned and he pulled over and we checked that there was a stain starting to come though my dress. He put a towel on the seat and drove to a shopping area, he nipped out and came back with a dress, pants, sanitary items even wet wipes so I could 'tidy up' and bags to put the soiled clothes in. Once I was sorted he asked if I wanted to go on or go home. I was still upset but he just said that a was a girl and these things happen.

I bought a car that was a bit of a wreck. I stead of telling me I'd wasted my money he started helping me fix it up. I loved that little car. We spent ages together learning how to fix it. I still have it, for my 40th he had it resprayed after fixing the bodywork. Still have it, still maintain it. Still have him. He got his own wreck which we've fixed up.

Such a feel good thread, lovely to see how many of you have nice partners!

Known mine since school. There’s not a lot you don’t know about someone you’ve been in class with since 11 and gone camping with and seen told off by parents at 16/17.
