What's the most unexpected thing you've learned about yourself through your romantic relationships?

I learned that your character is much more important than your appearance.

I used to be a total lone wolf. Then, when I was drowning in a huge relocation project at work, my partner was incredible.

He didn't try to fix things, but he listened to me rant about deadlines and design, and just reminded me I could do it. That support, knowing someone believed in me, gave me the courage to push through.

I learned that I have a tendency to idealize people I'm interested in. I put them on a pedestal, and it takes me a while to see them as regular people. This happened in my last relationship, and it was kinda tough to deal with when reality strike in.

I've been there too. At first, I was all about the hot girls. But after a few relationships, I realized that a cute face don't mean much if the person's a jerk.

I remember this one girl I dated. She was super hot, but man, she was so selfish. She seems to only think that the man's job is to make woman happy.

So yeah, I'm with you on this one. Character is where it's at. Looks fade, but a good heart stays.
