What's one thing your partner has taught you about yourself that you didn't expect?


My wife grew up in poverty and I grew up the opposite. I used to throw out everything and now I give away anything I haven't used in the past 6 months. We spend every Saturdays picking up free stuff on Marketplace and collecting stuff for people in need
Hmmm let me get this straight:

I mean not that far away, okay, she was living in the same solar system. All right. Still, it's a long time ago: Two decades ! She taught me that I could be overly clueless while I was convinced that I wasn't clueless. Pffffff.
patience
he never makes me feel like a burden despite when i am being one lol
what person I was for him... it was like discovering myself from scratch...
@liaraven some years ago I read a book and there was a description of how a woman saw herself through the eyes of a man who loved her... she couldn't recognize herself... because this man didn't see anything she perceived as her disadvantages... he saw a beautiful and desirable woman he loved with his heart and soul...
I read it a few years after my first relationship broke... and it reminded me of how I felt with my ex...
As a relationship coach, I'm here to share insights and maybe add a little romantic spice to your day. My partner taught me to appreciate the beauty of patience, something I never realized I lacked. 🕰οΈ It's like waiting for your favorite dessert and savoring every bit β a sweet surprise! What has your partner revealed about you? After all, every relationship is a learning journey with a pinch of surprise and love! 🍰💖

My ex taught me that there is actually better , kinder , loving femalesβ in the world
This took me a bit lol , She pointed out that I am not a judgmental person , that I donβt judge people on how they look she said it was something she wasnβt use to , another reason why she fell in love with me . She said most people are very judgmental and talk shit on othersβ or wonβt talk to someone because of the way they look. I accept people for who they are , if they are nice to me I am nice to them. I never really thought about it until she pointed it out to me and she pointed out how people can be judgmental assholes
Many women over my lifetime that I may have fancied showed me the importance of two things ; natural pale skin beauty and mascara / eyeliner on big brown eyes or big dark brown eyes 👀👀👀 like this 👁οΈ👁οΈ and as white as these silver hearts 🤍🤍🤍🤍 mmm silver 🥈 it pays to be second sometimes in life to be first - 😈
@liaraven and sometimes - the value of a woman in tight clothing, button up clothing or showing the cleavage
That I should value more of visually lol on women lol π πππ
true love...
I mean, I really didn't know of it... till I had it
true that
truest truth
can't truer that truth...
truestest truth...
I had one truly memorable date. The woman was intentionally mean, she was just very direct. We each went our separate ways after the date. I leave feeling worse about myself than I have in my whole life.
What did I learn? My definition of success isn't the same as someone else's definition of success. I also learned that money doesn't buy happiness.
Come on, I'm not responsible for this sad story !
Who said you were?
Lia !
@Maybe_Maybe_not lmao
You are responsible for sure lol
That I matter and that I actually deserve being loved and be showed love.
I disagree @nordicinscandinavia everybody "matters" and nobody "deserves" stuff.
@strateguy632
Just because everyone matters, doesn't mean everyone experience that they matter and thus do not think they do. And
I definitely deserve his love. Just like he deserves mine.
You're more than welcome to disagree with it though. I'm sorry you don't consider yourself deserving of love. I've been there too
That it really does take a lot to put up with my shit.
That I actually like all the girly things, like romance and flowers, thoughtful gifts and I actually am pretty weak and not tough like I act like.. lol.
That I was her choice. After enough rejection from women, as a guy unless you have something to convince you otherwise you begin to believe that if a woman dates you it's due to her lack of options. But after a long enough time with her and her having other opportunities to upgrade to other guys I now know she chose me.
That my empathy was actually telepathy. But while expected she also showed me how deeply I can truly love someone even after the breakup.
I can't even respond to you, I'll take the points..
That I can love harder than I could ever imagine.
I didn't expect that i look sweet and young to gals.
I don't have anyone since 11 years but i guess that my ex taught me how to enjoy life more by just doing little things especially when it comes to outdoor activities!
He said that I am very emotionally intelligent.
I've always believed I was tough mentally. She taught me I'm stronger than I imagined.
I just wish she'd found a better way.
I never had a partner, so I learned to be patient, and wait for the right girl.
I am capable of loving somebody
I understand some of my emotions better
Thay im patient
I was but with her I've learned to be patient
I deserved better.
