20 questions!!!!!!!!!!!!

I must admit that when I looked back through them there were a couple of words, like determined, which I figured could be seen as good or get-on-yer-nerves depending on the person and situation concerned! Always reminds me of when DS2 was a baby/toddler...while everybody said DS1 was 'lovely', DS2 was 'a character' - I always understood the meaning behind it :rotfl:

Apart from one 'frustrating!' am I the only one who's got negative kind of things to describe their OH??? I feel kinda bad now but he IS bloody annoying and stubborn at times, and he does have traits that I love him despite of not because of. But to me that's what it's all about - the better and the worse, the fact that they're not perfect. Or maybe at my age and with one failed marriage I'm just more cynical - I love him to bits (well I wouldn't marry him if I didn't) but I don't believe in Mr Perfect, just Mr Perfect-enough for me

Absolutely know what you mean. I used the word 'determined' as one of my five - while I believe it's a good quality to have it doesn't stop it getting on my nerves sometimes! Everyone has bad traits but when you're in love with someone you wouldn't necessarily change them.

It's like the concept of 'soulmates' - to me that implies something that's just 'meant to be' and will continue to work out no matter what. I think relationships can be bloody hard work sometimes! But it's the falling in love part which makes you want to keep at it.

Very good points both - I think I was in 'lovey-dovey mode' when I wrote mine! He is always those things, but there are also times when he's a little thoughtless, and times when I want to thump him! But then sometimes I get on his nerves too
