How and where did you meet your partner?

1. What do you love and admire about your partner? He is a Good Man. I didn't think there were any like him. He is down to earth, funny, sexy, he is my rock.
2. Where did you meet? He was training to be a nurse for people with learning disabilities at the school where I was volunteering.
3. What attracted you to them? He was a 20 year old lad who could be bothered to spend his time looking after tiny disabled children. Most lads I knew were into drinking, sleeping around, treating girls like shlt, generally being selfish. He was not like that. He was grown up already, they were still immature.
4. Did they become your special interest? I don't know what that means.
5. How long have you been together? 30 years.
6. How is the communication between you? Extremely good. We have misunderstandings but talk it out.

Did they become your special interest? I don't know what that means.

What I mean by that is like with a special interest you put everything into.  Did he become a human that you put everything into?  My ex husband became my special interest which drove him away from me because the harder I tried, the more he distanced himself which let me to leave as the rejection was too much.

I am delighted that you shared these points as it gives me hope that this type of partnership does and can exist because my experience of men has been "Most lads I knew were into drinking, sleeping around, treating girls like shlt, generally being selfish."

He sounds like what I want and need in a partner but at 45 have not yet found as I don't drink/go to the usual places to socialise and am a single parent so these things make it harder to meet a similar person.  There's no answer as places aren't taking on volunteers at the moment because of covid so I'll just have to be patient.....
