Chrissy, when you think of in-depth relationship, I believe you had mentioned deeper conversations. Are you wanting personal revelation type conversations, or are you thinking more of the philosophical type meaning of life sorts?
I think any conversation above what chemicals he loaded today Or what the kids did or did not do would be a improvement. But I would love to share dreams and daydreams and wants and needs in conversation also. I would love to talk religion,politics share points of interest. Share little knowledges gained from experiences. Viewpoints on current issues or even examine what if's. This is a big want of mine in a relationship. it is what I feel is a foundation of a relationship a friendship. But that is just me and my thoughts.
In your question to Lil I thought you were describing my H almost to a tee. Was wondering if you met him.
Quality activities yes this would be nice we use to do things together until the meanness came into the picture what use to be quality time then became dreaded events so there is little of this in my life with my H. Yesterday there was a blip of quality time. About 15 minutes prior to my H leaving for work I sat down on the couch beside him. I put my feet over his lap. He tickled at my feet for a moment. I changed positions and put my head against his shoulder and he put his arm across me. No hands heading for my breast or crotch or rubbing involved I actually relaxed for about 5 minutes and a small wift of a feeling for him came to me I kissed his arm (a peck) and he annouced he had to leave. This small amount of closeness I felt for him is quality time for me and very rare. Normally he would ruin it by petting me. That small twinge of a bond that I was allowed to feel was sweet but fleeting but a thought I will cherish more then any memorie of his show of sexual desire. So yes maybe quality time is important to me.
