Logically I know we’re all human and that we all have our strengths and weaknesses. When I look around I see traits that I so admire in other people and wonder why there is such a trade off.
One woman that I met about 3 months ago is awesome. She’s hard working, honest, attractive, caring and so calm. Nothing seems to rattle her. I so envy that. And yet, with all of this going for her she’s with one of the biggest losers I’ve ever met in my life. He doesn’t work, in and out of jail, tries to be very controlling and not that it matters but he could not be called attractive in any sense of the word. She even handles his attempts to be controlling well (although in my opinion she should kick him to the curb). When he publically decides that she’s going to do this or that, she calmly responds. She isn’t disrespectful or rude but she gets her point across. She does however respond to his manipulation.
Recently he was arrested for driving while intoxicated, reckless driving, fleeing, and resisting arrest. She spent several days jumping through hoops to get him out of jail and set up things so he could be on house arrest rather than sit in jail until his trial date.
Why would someone with so many positive attributes tolerate such a loser?
