What is it about this person? The Je ne sais quoi?
I really wonder, personally.
It seems to be several really simple things.
Basic values, character and perspective on life--I'm female so--guys that know they aren't perfect and do 'dumb' things and try to understand what went 'wrong'---that counts for a lot.
lol--'I am a man, I can't help myself'---that goes a long way with me.
Well I would eventually move on after their passing, but I will be very sad to say the least when my parents pass. Despite all the screw-ups I've made they still love me, they're wise, they're hard workers, and they're always there for me.
My cousin certainly took his time. He must have been in his mid 30's/late 30's.
A conservative sort. Then one day, I never got the whole story --he met the right one. Much like him. He had tears in his eyes at their wedding.
I guess that has been over 10 years. He is a happy man. He met this woman shortly after his mother died. They were very close. His daddy was nearly 80 and had health problems. His sister then developed breast cancer, survived,it went into remission. His daddy got worse--had to be placed in a nursing home--heart and kidney problems. His sister's cancer returned and spread to her brain/inoperable. She died. One month later his daddy died.
Without his wife and her daughter by a previous marriage--now in her mid 20's--I don't think he could have coped or not nearly so well.
I suppose he could 'live' without her but together they live more fully.
I would like to hear more about such experiences. In my cousin's case--he knew himself and what he wanted/needed. A much better person than I could ever be.
His sister was also an exceptional person. Valedictorian of her class---respected in her profession and involved in her church and community. She chose not to get married--for reasons that I think/thought were senseless. Very shy and modest --very sweet and would have made an excellent wife.
I suppose her life was fulfilling--she certainly was a support to many people. Maybe that is another 'aspect of love'. She didn't go through her life alone.
Haven't anyone yet that I absolutely cannot live without... unfortunately, this includes most of my family as well, the exception being my grandma- she just "gets" me better than the rest of my family does. I'd miss that.
outside of those few family members, like I said, I haven't met anyone I can't live without.
The obvious answer is "me." If I am not here, I can't live.
