Relationship Strengths and Weaknesses

[HollzHeartsChris]

Forgot to add:

Him
- His obsession with video games is grating on my nerves -.-

[blankita719]

Me:
I'm a loyal person. If I care about you, I will for life and that includes you, your family, etc.
However, I can be very overly sensitive to things which causes me to stress out over stuff that I should not, which makes me short tempered on occasion.

Him:
He is a man who says what he means. I always know when he tells me something, good or bad, he's not doing it to flatter or upset me. He's just like that.
He is not always sensitive about things, which clashes with my weakness of being over sensitive. And he hates my home state

[Madge]

Myself
+ I love giving gifts to my SO! I like watching his face and knowing that I have picked something out that he will use and enjoy (or eat if it is something I made )
I am also supportive with my SO in regards to his career and other aspects in his life.
- I did/do have some insurcrities due to past relationships however somehow being in a LDR is helping me through it (plus my SO of course!). Also sometimes I feel that I do need more communication from him which leads me to be overly emotional when I don't hear from him *sigh*

SO
+ He is confident in himself and he always pays attention to what people are saying if they are speaking to him. He know how to make me feel better and makes me laugh
- he is untidy! a wee bit lazy around the house.. *sigh* men.

[Mara]

Myself:

+ I am very loving physically and emotionally. I've always got my partner's back and I will do whatever is necessary even if it doesn't make me particular happy or is a pain.

- I'm extremely emotional. I go from 0-100 in seconds. I'm also very scatterbrained.

Him:

+ He's very hardworking and is very conscious of other people's needs.

- He is sensitive and doesn't always feel comfortable talking about his feelings.

[Malaga]

Me:
+ People generally like to confide in me, they feel like I understand, I don't judge. He feels super relaxed around me, and cherished. I inspire him. I can change his mood for the better (often).
- Gosh, I'm ridden with insecurities. I'm insanely jealous I hate anything that hogs his attention away from me. I know it's irrational and narcissistic so I suffer in silence.

Him:
+ He's very loyal and faithful. Enjoys closeness, comfortable with feelings. Thoughtful. Keeps his word.
- Moody, sulky, conflict avoidant. His attitude re: sex is sometimes confusing.

[bluishskin]

Me:
+ : I'm very loving, supportive and I always try to make him feel comfortable in any way I can.
- : I sometimes get upset easily over things that I shouldn't be upset about and I can be bossy which sounds like I know things a lot better than him, whereas actually he knows as much as I do. That part annoys him a lot.

SO:
+ : He lets me be myself which is extremely important, helps me communicate better and a goal-oriented. He's also very affectionate to me which makes me feel loved a lot.
- : He often forgets things easily and sometimes he also lacks initiatives in doing some things, which means I need to remind him several times.

[BoogleBee]

Me:
+ : I think I'm a supportive person and loving towards my SO.
- : I'm quite stubborn. Our disagreements don't end well. I also have anger issues sometimes - lose my temper easily.

SO:
+ : She is so romantic and loving and amazing. Always tries to think up small things we can do together from a distance Accepts me for who I am.
- : She has a few jealousy issues, and overthinks sometimes about things that are not that important but become big due to overthinking. However doing great lately

[CanadianGirl]

Me:
+ I'm very laid-back and I love keeping him happy.
- I'm not a great communicator when things are making me upset. I'm also pretty forgetful and scatterbrained, but I'm trying very hard to work on that.

Him:
+ He's sweet and very honest. He's a goofball and can always make me laugh.
- He has little patience and when he's upset, he runs his mouth unchecked.


I'm extremely curious what his answers would be.. I'll be bringing this up!

[mllebamako]

Me
+ I am very thoughtful and am always thinking of ways that I can improve the relationship or do sweet things for him.
- I am often too sensitive and I overanalyze everything.

Him
+ He is caring and sweet but can also be silly and fun.
- He has a hard time opening up and prefers to keep his sad feelings inside.

[Sora1101]

ME:
+: I am always here to listen and comfort him when he needs it.
-: I tend to hold in my frustrations with him sometimes because I don't want to upset him.

SO:
+: Very sweet and gentle and always knows how to calm me down and make me feel better.
-: He's extremely forgetful and sometimes when I want his attention he's busy playing video games

[Rach321]

Me

- I have insecurities that I overreact to. I worry too much about things I can't control anyway.

Him
+ He's patient, creative, and loving. Neither of us have ever been mean to one another.
- He tends to become easily frustrated with me when he's stressed or when he thinks I'm being too accommodating to him.

[Zephii]

Great thread idea! I'd like to see one where the strengths and weaknesses are joined though - things are different when working together, if you know what I mean.

Me:
+ I have a pretty decent ability to put the needs of others before my own, and I'm very thoughtful. I look at my relationship like a carrer and I work hard on it.
- I get scared if things go too well for too long. Luckily, there's usually enough drama in our lives I don't have to make my own, but, I need to learn that it's ok and safe to just be happy.

Him:
+ He's very loving and unashamed to express it. He's also not tangled up too much in gender roles and will take on the housework or whatever when the need is there. I know if something goes wrong he can step up to the plate and shoulder my burdens as well as his own.
- He's very selfish. He thinks of himself first, and doesn't consider how things will affect me until later down the track, if at all.

[DemonxOisin]

Me:
+ I give everything I have for our relationship. I do anything and everything in my power to make it work, from paying for plane tickets to always forgiving him. And it really is nothing to me.
- Iīm freakinī bipolar sometimes. I can freak out at him for something one minute, and apologize for getting mad the next.

Him:
+ Heīs amazingly emotionally strong. I donīt know how to explain that lol, but he helps to bring balance to my craziness.
- He worries too much! And, relating to that, he has a tendancy to try and hide our relationship. I understand why, heīs naturally a very private person. But if it were up to me, Iīd flaunt it EVERYWHERE and have many pdaīs and such. Itīs more of a conflict of interest than anything :P
