Oh, wow, where do I start?
I'm a Preacher's Kid, raised as a little diplomat. Though we were the "poor church mice", rubbed shoulders with the rich, powerful, and famous. My extended family was influential in national politics and industry. By the time I was 16, I'd toured Europe twice. Thanks to the generosity of one of my great uncles, I was afforded the opportunity to attend one of the more elite universities.
I played various musical instruments, could sing, dance, and act. I know which wines go with which cheeses. I can hold my own in discussions about almost any topic. Though I could easily be, I'm thankful that I'm not a snob. My focus is not about me, but rather the well being of others. How can I help?
All that said ...
"My" Kev is an Indiana (almost) farm Irish Catholic Stud. He is 4 of 8 kids. He barely graduated from High School. There are no pretenses about him. Though he may not be tuned to the "finer" aspects of life, there is a "down to Earth", true to the core, Honest aspect about him. What you see is what you get, no holds barred.
Though he is not as formally educated as I am, he is far more talented, and practical. I handle financial and administrative concerns. He does a remarkable job at cooking (chef trained), and keeping household things in check. I might be better at fixing things, but he is better at putting them to use. I think about stuff. He makes it happen.
Not only can he cook, he's also a very talented painter, and I'm not talking pictures. He's painted our house, several times, and not just the exterior. Each room is different with varying faux finishes. Friends have commented that our house is like visiting a museum. He even stripped and finished the garage to match the house's hard wood floors, color, graining, and all.
He's also a self taught gardener and landscaper. Our yard won an award from the mayor's office.
I make things happen through calls, writing checks, and sometimes wielding tools to repair things. Kev makes things happen through being hands on, and making/creating things.
He's taller, and in much better shape than I am. He's more physical, and emotional, than I am. I'm more "Show", where he is far more "Real".
Unfortunately, due to some bad choices (drug related), Kev is currently a "Guest of the State" for the next 2yr. Having him being taken away has been a huge adjustment for me. Suddenly living alone, without his support, is something I wasn't expecting at this later stage of my life. I'd gotten used to him being around over 33yr. together.
Some have suggested I should turn him loose for my own well being. But, that's not who I am, and I simply can't do that. He means so much to me. He is WORTH saving! He matters! At his core, he is "Salt of the Earth" GOOD.
Some great responses to this thread. You guys really gave some very deep answers as to what you love about your significant other. What did I say about my boyfriend? "I love his butt. God, how shallow am I?![]()

Hey! There is nothing shallow about loving his butt![]()

The way he looks me in the eye and smiles is heart melting for me![]()
