Do you want a partner that makes you more caring or less? Why?

9 comments

1. Why would I want either? Couldn’t I just remain myself?

2. I want a partner who accepts and loves me as I currently am.

3. Neither? That’s my own personality, I don’t expect it to be affected by a partner in either direction.

4. I would like a relationship where we both make each other better people. Not because we are actively conditioning each other or forcing the other to change behavior or whatever, but just as a natural occurrence because we bring each other the happiness and stability that affects positive change like that in us.

5. I don’t understand the question. Why would a core attribute of my character be dependent on a partner at all? I’m still me.

6. I can’t imagine how depressing it would be to have a partner that makes me less caring.

7. Do you mean less caring or less distracted by other’s emotional dealings?

   I don’t think my husband makes me less caring at all but he does help me focus and encourage me to set boundaries when certain people use me as a source to vent all their frustrations and problems? I have a tendency to become the go-to listener for certain family/friends/sometimes even acquaintances.

8. I definitely want a partner that pushes me to see things from a different perspective.

9. More caring please because I think empathy and compassion are important qualities I want in my partner and myself.
