My name is Sheriden and I am currently 2. I worked for this love and I manifested this love and every day that passes, I am eternally grateful that we choose each other. I just expect effort, understanding, compassion, and stability.
What I love about our story is that there are so many things that could have kept us away from each other: being long-distance, being from two different countries, and being in the middle of a pandemic, but we constantly found ways to make our love work because there was an ease despite our circumstances and a willingness that neither of us had ever experienced.
What drew me to my boyfriend more than the romance was how loving he was. Even though he worried about operating from a place of coldness, his vulnerability , his affirming nature, supportive ways, and warmth with his words and his actions showed me and continue to show me the opposite of that. He is like no one I've ever experienced. He reminded me of the way I treated myself and therefore I felt love in a way that I had always seen it molded for me, but not necessarily shown to me.
And for that, I will always look to him with fondness. What I loved about that list was it held me accountable for the qualities I was looking for in a romantic relationship, my ideal partner , and therefore my ideal partnership. This internal dialogue got me thinking about the qualities of a partner that is ideal in healthy, loving relationships but more specifically to the people taking part in the relationship.
Your partner has to be the ideal partner for you , and although there might be qualities seen as universal, there are some that might rank higher in significance than others. So, whether you are single and not ready to mingle, actively dating, or in a relationship, below are some essential qualities to look for in a partner.
