If you could change something about your mate, what would it be?

Is it a characteristic that person had since before you married and just did not notice? Or where you so in love that it did not matter?

My husband is pretty special (we've been married 51 years!), but the only thing I would change about him is his patience. Or rather, lack of it.

That is understandable.

I can definitely say that I wish my partner could look after his hygiene a bit more. I understand that as a builder/carpenter, he comes home from work really tired and there's nothing he wanted more than just to dive onto the bed and snooze. Honestly, he isn't one to stink, as in BO after a hard day's work but of course, he also doesn't smell clean. I want someone who smells clean beside me on the bed. When we were dating he smelled nice. Wish he would bring that back. Personality wise, he is great, with a bit of a naughty streak. Sense of humour that is compatible with mine, very hardworking. He can do with some crash course on being more respectful and polite though but that's only because he speaks his mind. That I already saw on day 3 so does not surprise me

I agree, That is important to me. I like my man to be clean. Having a respect is so necessary. Some are so oblivious to that.

@MsBooklover He is a people person which I am proud of but when he has to speak his mind, he speaks his mind. Doesn't care who he's speaking to. He tells the truth. Admirable but reckless.

One thing I would change is his listening skills-he isn't a great listener. I knew before we got married but I loved him so much I looked past it-and still do. Lol. It's only harder now because my kids are getting older and they are starting to notice that their dad doesn't hear much of what they say either. =(

There are a lot of people out there like that today. I often wonder what is behind it.

I am not married yet. But I only require two things in my previous partners and these are honest and respectful.

Actually i honestly dont believe ibwould change anything. My love is unconditional, faithful, loyal. I mean the good even the bad or what drives me nuts people call flaws. But all them lil things makes people who they are . i love everything about my mate when i have one. Why change something that helped me fall in love

Aww, can't think of anything, maybe I'm still too in love with him that's why it doesn't matter.
