Ok. So Decodelighted''s response to Starset (two of my favorite PS ladies, btw) re: what DID she like about her boy got me thinking. The LIW thread is a place to express our angst and excitement about future engagements, but is also a sounding board for venting/bitching about our boys.....and sometimes that part gets misconstrued and is the only thing that is seen.
So as a follow-up to Starset''s thread, my Pollyana peacemaker side is doing an equal-time thread. I''ll start.
So my boyfriend is a clueless commitmentphobe who maintains that he wants to marry me, while apparently believing that "SOON" is sometime in the next ten years. So I''ve felt unappreciated sometimes and he leaves wads of chewed-up gum on the kitchen counter and bathroom soap dish no matter HOW many times I beg him not to. BUT....
He always pours a glass of wine for my mom.
He does funny dog and baby voices when he hangs with my nephews and doggies.
When we go grocery shopping and I throw a tacky In Touch or US on the stack at the last minute, he doesn''t give me s$it and buys them. (And reads them later himself.)
We know the same obscure movie references and he can make me laugh at something even when I want to throttle him.
He listens to show tunes in his car and then sings them to my dogs. (from Wicked sure, but MAME?? And he''s not gay!!??)
