When it's a one-way street...part 7

[Accuray]

I think you should have your most important emotional needs met, you should have someone to laugh with and enjoy life, you should have someone you enjoy talking to, you should have someone who supports you, you should have someone who is aligned with your beliefs on the things that matter most to you, you should have a partner in child raising, you should have someone for whom you feel a spark, or an intangible attraction.

In order to get this, you should be willing to meet the other person's most important emotional needs, you should be tolerant of their weaknesses, you should support and encourage them, you should go into things with a "partner" perspective, you should avoid shaming and criticism, you should be willing to make yourself vulnerable and share the bad with the good without shame, and you should make an effort to share their interests for the purpose of bringing you closer to each other.
