He does what he says he will do and he completes tasks that he starts.

He never gets mad at me, even when we disagree. It just becomes lively conversation.

He's so gorgeous,sexy, smart, and funny. And, even after years together, the touch of his skin feels so good. The two best things about him, though, are that 1. When I tell him what I need, he tries his best to give it to me. I can be honest about what I need, emotionally, and he gives it to me, if he can. 2. If you are part of his circle, he is loyal and concerned about your welfare. He has an instinctive understanding of the "we" part of a relationship that my first husband never had.

All those things contribute to why I love him, but I don't know, maybe there aren't any reasons for why when I'm with him, I have the deep, connected, awe inspiring feeling I was afraid I would never have.

Because she brings me a beer if I snap my fingers.

laughing.gif Is she a Golden Retriever? Maybe you can train her to bring you beer before you even snap your fingers.

He loves sci-fi as much as me and we can out-geek each other. Both of his sons are mad sci-fi fans also, so it gets very geeky when we're all together.

There are so many reasons...

-He's one of the kindest and most empathetic people I've ever met. He'll change tires for strangers and buy homeless people food. He cried when my parent's dog got sick because he couldn't stand seeing my mom so sad. He tried to coax a big, scary snake out of the road because he was afraid it would get run over.

-He is incredibly open-minded. He came to the US for a 2 and a half month visit and I was worried about him getting homesick, not liking the food, weather, etc. He was up for anything and everything. He ate all sorts of new food and loved it. My family and I are huge football fans and he made a real attempt to learn the game. And he got along with EVERYONE. Family, friends, strangers, even my difficult, Alzheimer's-addled Grandma, even my super-duper Christian friend, even the ladies at the bar we hung out at when we road-tripped across the country and stopped in deeply conservative rural Tennessee ("Don't you dare let him get away," one of the ladies told me).

-In the same vein, he doesn't just believe everything he hears. He follows the news closely, reads a lot, and talks to many different people with many different backgrounds and perspectives. He makes a point to be well-educated and well-informed.

-Whether we are physically together or an ocean apart, he is the most supportive partner I could've asked for. A few weeks ago, I was complaining about not being able to get Microsoft Office on my Apple and he spent at least an hour searching online for advice. If he knows I have to get up early, he'll call me right before my alarm goes off so I can wake up to his voice instead of my alarm.

-He's a straight shooter. If something in our relationship is bothering him, he'll tell me right away and we'll talk it out. No yelling, no passive-aggressive cr@p, no mind games. I always know where I stand with him.

-He speaks eight languages with relative fluency. Now that's just hot!

There's more but this is long and gushy enough...
