This is true! LOL!

You had asked me to detail what the old me thought was important and what I looked for in a partner and then do the same for the new me - ok, here goes:

Old me thought was important in a partner
1. must be really tall! JK, had to start off with a laugh!
2. sense of humor
3. loving
4. loyal
5. things in common
6. treats me good
7. responsible
8. good kisser smile

the new me
1. must be really tall! not kidding grin
2. great dad to his kids
3. understands who I am what I am made of and loves me anyway
4. sense of humor
5. talks to me honestly - communicates!!!
6. realizes that love and marriage are hard work, but worth it
7. things in common - must love football
8. realizes that my career is an important part of who I am
9. doesn't care that I talk too much - but is able to tell me to shut up and listen when I get carried away
10.and I hate to say it, but needs to be good in bed laugh

I know I could come up with more - but I think the important thing discovered here is that my list now is more detailed, and it is not a list JUST for what I am looking for in a partner but more like what I am looking for in a relationship. I know that a good relationship is about communication, consideration, sacrafice, understanding, humor, tenderness and forgiveness.
