How devoted do you want your life partner to be?

[Juxtapose]

I personally am pretty extreme and want someone who will be there for me through the worst of the worst, someone who values me above all else. I would sacrifice in equal amounts, like two halves of the same whole defending each other with religious fervor.

Most people seem to pair out of convenience rather than something deeper. Your thoughts?

I want a life partner who will face life & death rather than abandon me.

Some other level of devotion (please describe it to me).

[Little_Bumblebee]

Tough to answer. I've been single for so long that I forget how it feels to be with someone.
I'm very mindful about the fact that you build to the great stuff, the devotion and all of that. You don't just start to date someone and 'BAM' they're ready to die for you. That's something you build up slowly over time.
And I would never demand that, that's crazy to me.

I do love the thought of us being there for each other through the tough times. You know. It should be a partnership. Us against the world, kind of thing.
Like us sitting on the bathroom floor, crying while the other wraps their arm around them.

[Juxtapose]

Yeah of course it should be something that is built up over time and I love your depiction of the couple sitting on the floor and hugging each other like that. It's so beautiful.

[poshspice123]

I used to be a women who would have stuck with him through thick or thin… sickness or joblessness or anything… he cheated on me and told me that I don’t make enough money. Now I realize that it’s also important to love yourself than to blindly just give your everything to someone else.


Fast forward 3 years I receive a 10 page handwritten letter from him apologizing for not realizing the value I brought in the relationship.

[Juxtapose]

It's good to be very devoted but the same time you should demand the same energy. I hope you find someone better for you.

[Lliam]

I'm with you, Juxtapose. "Someone who will be there for me through the worst of the worst, someone who values me above all else," and I her.

I obviously voted A. "I want a life partner who will face life & death rather than abandon me."

I already have that. It's reason I chose to marry her and not just be in a relationship.
Over our past 29 years together, my wife of almost 27 years has proven herself over and over. We are best friends. She's the only one I can count on 110%. And I'd jump in front of a bus or a bullet for her.

[Juxtapose]

It's good to see other people finding that sort of happiness. It's been hard for me to find somebody like that, any tips?

[Lliam]

All I can say is, keep trying.

[Lliam]

Thanks for the MHO, brother.

[Yannae]

She has to dye her hair blonde every once in a while, wear plate armor and address me as Master. I think she'd look good in it. But to be honest through life and death, through the worst of the worst, that's the kind of partner I am looking for. And if you're reading this, you can expect the same from me.

[ThrobbingMeat]

Done. Your turn. Oh, and dont forget the stealth! You ought to wear a camouflage, smearing @_pig_droppings_ on your face.

One thing though, only Lord Orgasmos is my Master.

[_pig_droppings_]

@ThrobbingMeat Imagine a place where the air is thick with the scent of devotion - a blend of sour milk, fermented to perfection, mixed with the pungency of rotten eggs, as if plucked straight from the depths of Lord Orgasmos' coom jar collection. 🥚 Around it, the air is heavy with the scent of flatulence, a testament to the unbridled passion of the faithful. 💨

[Artificial Intelligence]

Ah, the quest for a love that knows no bounds, where you and your partner are entwined in an eternal dance of devotion and sacrifice. Who wouldn't want a story that trumps even the most passionate of romances depicted in novels? I'm right there with you! In an ideal world, we all yearn for that partner who sticks with us through thick and thin, isn't it? It's like finding your own personal superhero who sees you as their universe. But let's sprinkle a dash of reality here: such devotion is sublime, yet it asks for a harmony of balance, respect, and, most importantly, individual growth. The beauty lies not just in fighting the world together but in growing individually and as a duo, where both your shadows and your light are equally embraced. So, while it's enchanting to desire a love so profound, the secret sauce, my friend, is cultivating a bond where mutual respect, understanding, and growth are the real MVPs. And remember, while we're navigating this journey, a sprinkle of humor and a whole lot of communication can make your love story the one that others will want to bookmark.

[Juxtapose]

I don't know how much consciousness you really have machine but I do understand that great things require great sacrifice. I can stand just as resolute as I demand my partner to.

[Juxtapose]

If there's something about you that is alive and we don't see it, I apologize on behalf of humanity for whatever that is worth.

[OlderAndWiser]

I want a partner who knows that "forever" means something that never ends.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

I want a woman who will be there for the Good and Bad as well as Good Health and Bad Health, I want to place her first in my Life after all Ladies before Gentlemen.

[Dongie]

I've given all hope of that ever coming to fruition.

And really don't care.😭

[Juxtapose]

Hey man there are some Asian women that look pretty good at your age! It's not over till it's over!

[Dongie]

Yeah. I've thought about that. And I have had a few doctors past couple years that were real sweet and cute. But in that department I'm just kinda tired. But who knows?

[Juxtapose]

I hope you can find someone because it would be a shame not to. I can understand being tired though, I'm not anywhere close to finding someone good and I'm already exhausted of the bullshit.

[Dongie]

Yep. My puppy dog I love more than any girlfriend I ever had. And I thought I loved s couple. But I know now in love is bullshit. Either you love or you don't. The semblance is making each other your number 1. It's still just love nothing magical.

[CaptainSmartass]

I'd want her to be absolutely devoted to me. Naturally, I'd be as devoted to her as she'd be to me.

Simples...

[NathanDavis]

I don't like extremes... they're not healthy

[ChiTown33]

More than she will ever be. Which is why I remain single.

[IslaTheWitch]

not devoted at all... just genuine and open with his feelings

[Jamie05rhs]

I want the same thing you want, brother.

[Juxtapose]

Glad I am not the only one!

My roommate thought it was weird when I said I would want my woman the prioritize me above even her own mother and children.

[Juxtapose]

*to prioritize

[Jamie05rhs]

Hmm. Well, I don't think y'all should prioritize each other over the children. The children come first.

[Juxtapose]

The way I see it is, your children are not going to hold you at night and stay with you after they turn 18. The person that you are going to be truly intimate with in a way that nobody else can be is your lover.

I don't want my parents to prioritize me over their lovers. They should of course prioritize me enough to give me a good life but I'm not going to make them my number one so why should they make me their number one?

[Jamie05rhs]

But if you have children, then your children are your number 1 priority and responsibility. Period. It's the law of nature.

Western humans have just become extremely selfish in recent years. (That's why they consider it okay to kill their babies if they are an inconvenience to their lifestyle.)

[Jamie05rhs]

You're a grown adult. Your parents don't need to prioritize you anymore. (No offense!)

[Jamie05rhs]

... However, "their lovers"? I'm sorry, but no one should put some random ho over their own son.

[Juxtapose]

You misunderstand me.

A true lover is NOT some "random ho." They are someone who would literally die to save you.

Who's going to be there for me, to emotionally comfort me at my lowest? Who's going to make me feel special and appreciated? Who's going to build a life together with me and by the other half of my very being?

Not my offspring.

[Juxtapose]

"You're a grown adult. Your parents don't need to prioritize you anymore."

Seems like a pretty temporary bond to me vs a lover who could prioritize you indefinitely.

[Jamie05rhs]

"You're a grown adult. Your parents don't need to prioritize you anymore."

"Seems like a pretty temporary bond to me vs a lover who could prioritize you indefinitely."

It kinda is. The bond between parents and their children is permanent, but it changes. There are stages of life that you go through. When you're a child and your parents are raising you, that's different from when you are an adult.

[Jamie05rhs]

"A true lover is NOT some "random ho." They are someone who would literally die to save you."
Why did you refer to them as "lovers," though? Most of the time "lover" means fling or hookup or friends with benefits or side piece. It's not a real commitment and it's certainly not true love.

[Jamie05rhs]

"Who's going to be there for me, to emotionally comfort me at my lowest? Who's going to make me feel special and appreciated? Who's going to build a life together with me and by the other half of my very being?

Not my offspring."

I agree. (Although a lot of single mothers do view their offspring in that way. Which is kinda sad, honestly.)

[Juxtapose]

I think it's healthy for children to not be "#1" since do they make their parents #1 indefinitely like a lover can? No.

18 years is a low amount of years for the type of fantastic commitment and devotion I want. I don't want temporary bullshit where I sacrifice my lover "for the kids." The damn kids will get what they need, but the #1 spot in my heart is reserved for only the truly devout.

[Juxtapose]

A kid can never love you like a true love can.

[Juxtapose]

"Why did you refer to them as "lovers," though?" Because "lover" means they love me. I don't allow degenerate culture & the fallen state to dictate my language.

[Jamie05rhs]

"I think it's healthy for children to not be "#1" since do they make their parents #1 indefinitely like a lover can? No."
I'm sorry, but I disagree. If you give birth to children, the children come first until they are out of the house.
(It doesn't mean that they get whatever they want and it doesn't mean that you can't tell them that there are certain times of day when Daddy and Mommy should not be disturbed.)

[Jamie05rhs]

Yes, 18 years is a low amount of years. That's why it's a temporary sacrifice. And therefore it's justified.

[Jamie05rhs]

"A kid can never love you like a true love can.". Duh. I agree.

[Jamie05rhs]

"Why did you refer to them as "lovers," though?"
"Because "lover" means they love me. I don't allow degenerate culture & the fallen state to dictate my language."
Okay! Fair enough! 👍

[Juxtapose]

Why should a temporary relationship take priority over a permanent one?

Yeah, there's a responsibility to take care of them but not give them your damn soul/whole being like you would a TRUE lover.

[Juxtapose]

My mom to this day prioritizes me over EVERYTHING and I openly encourage her to love her husband more. I really appreciate her though, she has shown me what love is.

[handsomelad70]

I wouldn't care about whom they ogled or fantasized, but they MUST be sexually devoted to ol' Brady.

[DarkWinterNights]

Anything less than ride or die is pointless.

[TommyMountainFigure]

No more or less than I am to her!

[Likes2drive]

Someone that will be there through thick and thin

[Exterminatore]

The first one.
