On a scale of 1-10, how "big" is your baggage? (how to, marriages)

[dub dub II]

And, how much baggage is an acceptable amount in another (potential)?

And, what is it? (Don't have to answer that one..)

Almost got me. For a second there I thought the thread said how big is your package. And even though I'd prefer no baggage, the older one gets the less realistic that becomes. So I'd say it depends.

I think it depends on what type of baggage it is.

I'd say on a scale of 1-10, I'm probably a 7 or 8 in terms of baggage because of my medical problems. Other than that I have trust issues, but no other baggage of any sort.

In the past I've looked past a TON of issues if I really liked a guy but at this point in my life I don't know if it's worth dealing with major things just for the sake of being in a relationship.

How I rate my baggage?

I"m extremely humble, and sometimes I think that can irritate someone.

I'm clumsy sometimes.

Oh! I'm messy! My bedroom is messy to many people, but it's not to me lol.

So I guess I would rate my baggage with a 2 or 3? I pack light.

I've got some for sure; but looking around, where I am.....in comparison to the loser men I've encountered in this city -
my baggage ain't nothin'

hrm...
not sure how to rate this but as far as im concerned my baggage is minimal.
and
i would accept a minimal amount from another in a relationship.

im not dr phil, i don't want to work through other peoples issues the rest of my life, i want to enjoy it.

We really have to define "baggage" before we can answer this question.

[rego00123]

i would define baggage in relationships as:
anything not necessarily wanted/needed but taken on because other factors weigh them out.

Hmm: I have always been able to honestly assess myself so here goes:

the bad: a know it all show you up type, insecure about status, have a chip on my soldier, suffer from adjustment issues related to working war zones (PTSD), do not live a normal life and don't find normal interesting, a natural loner, and insecure (although increasingly less so) about the loss of my hand in Afghanistan, am a bit of a sexual conqueror in that I always need to sleep with more women., a natural pessimist.

good: highly intelligent, a man of my word, sitting on a million USD in cash, very well traveled, have had a a very interesting pre-injury career, erudite, in very good shape (two hours a day five days a week in the gym), above average looking (6), funny when i want to be.

a lot of baggage but some good too.

I'd say zero.
