What thing you value/appreciate in your partner?

I really value the way she supports me, she’s not too pushy or just helps me with my decisions. She always gives some things to think about and shows when she disagrees with me but never criticizes as long as it was my decision I really thought about it. Even if I am wrong. She never has that "I told you so" thing (I have that a lot though and I want to get rid of it).
She offers help a lot and most of the time it is in reach. Like she can anticipate a problem and have a solution ready and I just need to take it if I want to, although she never pushes it. She also talks a lot about issues and problems so we could work on solving them together. I would given up on this relationship when we just started, but she is too great to give up on...

Sometimes I feel I don't deserve such a good relationship partner.

So, what thing you value/appreciate in your partner?

Is nice to have an understanding partner. If I want to marry I will make sure he understands me very well

Smart as a whip, always prepared to do what needs to be done to help someone in need

he gives me a sense of stability. it’s not just about the money, it’s also the fact that he keeps me in check. well, to the extent that i allow myself to be kept in check, anyway..

He's a really open guy, it's very easy to talk with him about things. He keeps me informed what's going on with him and how he's feeling

He's been through a lot, and things still aren't very easy for him but he's pretty relentlessly upbeat and supportive.

He's very cuddly which is great because I am too

He does work that I really admire. Very much needed

Long term a bit of dependability is ever so important

He takes care of me. When i was diagnosed with my disability we discussed the fact that he would have to be my carer, i gave him the 'get out now if you can't handle it' spiel and he just responded with 'he knew what he signed up for when he married me'. He knows i can't do a lot of stuff and never expects me to do more than i can. He goes out of his way to research my condition and ways in which he can help me.
