Follow up since a lot of people said me wanting a partner to at least try out my hobbies at least once wasn't a good standard to have. If they don't like it after that then thats fair. And i also would attempt to partake in their hobbies too of course. Especially if they have never tried it ever in their lives even before meeting your partner.

For me its not a requirement but could be a big positive for a relationship if they share in a few hobbies. they can create potential bonding moments.

My hobbies are mostly the nerdy ones like video games, comics, reading, table top board games etc.

Which gender demand more from the other in a relationship?

These are what i need in a long term partner. what do you think?

- showing empathy

- good sense of humor

- communicates well

- listens to me and makes me feel heard

- Good Hygiene

- able to plan things well in advance

- is responsible (with money, work, etc)

- respectful

- is always on time or tries to be. isn't flaky

- gets along with my family

- At least attempts to partake in my hobbies even if they don't end up liking them after trying them out

- Doesn't constantly bring up exes proving they are truly over them and not comparing me to them

- respects my schedule and doesn't blow up my phone if i can't answer their text for awhile

- Shows maturity especially with her emotions

- takes accountability if she truly is in the wrong about something and makes actual attempts to not do it again through her actions

- Doesn't overreact to the smallest things that ultimately don't matter

- it would be great if we were sexually compatible too but i can probably overlook it if all else is good with her

Some psychologist/etc say the infatuation stage can last anywhere between 18 months to three years.

Infatuation is often a fantasy-based, passionate longing for someone else. It can prevent you from acknowledging their weaknesses, and may even land you in an unhealthy situation.

Love is often based in reality and is fed on closeness and knowledge of the other person. You respect your partner’s differences, enjoy true intimacy, and work together as a team.

While infatuation can lead to love, it may require you to let go of the fantasy and embrace differences, shortcomings, and individuality.

Me and my girlfriend have been together for around 9 months and got into a situation yesterday.

Me and my girlfriend want to eventually get married but there's one issue. My soon to be wife wants to have traditional benefits while being a modern woman.

Let me explain.. Early in our relationship my girl professed to me that she wants to be a stay at home wife. Since she told me that, I realized that we were compatible. I wanted to provide for her and pay the bills and utilities.

The problem arises here. Yesterday, my girlfriend then told me she wanted to be a corporate career woman. We had a conversation about it and I told her, she told me before that she wanted to be a wife instead.

The huge issue here is that, my girlfriend wants me to pay all the bills, groceries, etc while working a corporate job for 60 hours a week, and travel the world while I take care of the children.

The deal is that my money is her money

And her money is her money only.

I told her, if she gets a job she'll have to pay 50/50 and she got really upset with me.

My question is, am I wrong in this situation?

Basically a man who treats her like daddy, little princess and spoils her rotten in general but when it comes to bedroom, treats her like a 2 dollar whore/escort that he just paid to get his rocks off.
