For some reason, my blog section is not revealing to me how many characters I am using while writing this, so I have decided to write this blog in two sections to be on the safe side. Furthermore, it will perhaps break up the monotony of reading it. 
Obviously, I have had too much time on my hands. It seems that I have had plenty of time to do some soul searching these past few days about just what it would be that I would EXPECT to find in my next partner. I know that what I do expect covers a broad spectrum, but the one most important thing to me in my next, and hopefully last, relationship would be to have RESPECT. Here are just a few of those expectations of respect from my point of view.
Respect your partners enough to be honest with them. If you should get a hankering to cheat with somebody else, let your partner know before it happens or immediately after it happens, so your partner can make a decision whether or not to stay with you in a relationship. It never ceases to amaze me how many men and women are unfaithful to their significant others. Unless you have agreed to be "swingers", why do this? In this day and age, do you realize that you could so easily 'bring something home' to an innocent partner who trusted you? Perhaps the grass always does look greener on the other side of the fence, but remember......if they cheat with you......they will more than likely cheat on you. So go for it if you feel the need, but don't lie about it to your partner.
Respect your partners enough to appreciate what they can do. Don't focus on what they can't. Let's face it. Many of us here in MatchDoctor are getting up there in age. I personally can not do nearly what I used to be able to do. I used to be able to do cartwheels around the entire yard.....and walk on my hands throughout the house. If I tried either one of these feats now, I would surely break something on me. Remember when we were younger? If we happened to slip on some ice or just tripped over our own feet or something (Okay.......I don't know about any of you.......but I did this quite often........and still do), we'd be back up as quickly as we fell, hoping nobody saw what had transpired. Now....if I were to fall, I'd have to be at the mercy of somebody kind enough to help me get back up on my feet. 
Respect your partners likes and dislikes. Whether it be tastes in food, wine, television shows or music, many people don't have the same tastes as what their partners do. So what? Food? If my partner prefers lobster to steak, it's okay. I don't do seafood. Yes I do........I lied. I see food and I eat it, if it's to my liking. I do see food.  If my partner prefers a screwdriver to wine, it's okay.........in moderation. I'll choose the wine. That orange juice in the screwdrivers gives me a baaaaad hangover every time. I don't like hangovers. If my partner likes a certain t.v. show that I do not........I'll either watch it with him anyway.....or I'll go into another room or outside and do my own thing. Music? Ahhhhhhhhhh.......there isn't much I would not listen to. I am not fond of Rap or female opera singers. The female opera singers hurt my ears, but I would try again if that is what my partner liked. The only bad thing for me would not to be able to enjoy any music at all! Hopefully, a partner would have similar likes and dislikes, but it really isn't all that important as far as these types of things.
I'll end this here and work on Part Two. Here's a great song to go with this blog, though. I hope you enjoy it. It isn't her best, but it will do.
RESPECT - Aretha Franklin
