When you find a life partner...you inherit..
You inherit more than just their body.Here are some of the things that I have thought of that you inherit when you find a life partner....maybe not inherit directly, but maybe also indirectly.
You inherit their:
their debt
their criminal history
their health
their family
their wealth
their hate
their love
their personality
their enemies
their friends
their philosophy on life
their disease
their headaches
their positive glow of energy
their caring
their dislikes
their hygiene
their filth
their education
their ignorance
their burdens
their resources
their touch
their coldness
....everything about them
Of course....you give equally.
It makes me wonder, is that why hook up culture is so prevalent today? Have people become too ugly for a lifetime partnership? Or, have they become too selfish to take on another's "everything"....or too greedy to share their "everything." Or is it...they are too busy to take on or share their "everything." No matter what it is...it should tell you something about them.
Just a little something....
Happy Friday all.

You may be right about the 'hook-up culture', but even with all the ugliness many of us are able to ignore/look past and even forgive, because of LOVE. It is written that "love can cover a multitude of sins".
Good blog!
Thank you for your comment.
You are right, the list I have provided just scratches the surface.
Yes about love....however, some make love very difficult. Just be aware of the full package you are signing for when it comes to long term commitment.
don't forget you both might bring something wonderful into the mix too,
that may dampen or eredicate alltogether some of the earlier lifes trauma.
I totally agree...there is a potential for beauty to be added as well.
People often focus on solely the physical characteristics of a potential partner and I think, fail to realize the depth of a person's being they are signing up for when it comes to long term commitments.
Yes indeed.
It might have been useful to have two columns, for the Pros and Cons, but I can only make about five Pros.
The Pets did it for me, if they don't pass that one, no need to continue.
One woman has on her profile "hopefully my dog will like you".

I didn't know you are that "complicated", Johnny ..
To me, life is what we make it. You can make it complicated or simple. Regarding that list, I would make it simple.. we will inherit good and bad from our partner and we will get only what we deserve. That's it.
PS
I understand the word "inherit" as "live with"
I never thought of it like that.
Oh well.

....and welcome to the blogs.
I would say in some cases staying single is better than being with the wrong person.
I thought a little earlier, maybe that is why relationships are easier to start with younger folks...their "slates" are mostly equally clean with each other.....and with older people, that "slate" can be way different...with various differences.
Yes....
As soon as those little emotions within you start becoming attached to your partner....the longer those emotions become attached, the deeper they grow within you. The longer you are with your loved/loving partner....their beauties become more and more yours....and also their problems too.
Ivanka Trump who was raised as a Presbyterian Christian, converted to Orthodox Judaism after marrying Jared Kushner.
Good point...I have heard of that.
I agree...it would be nice to find somebody who compliments your weaknesses and you compliment theirs.
Welcome to the blogs. Yes....good and bad baggage.
Wow...that is pretty extreme. In that case, yes...you want to be very careful with who you choose as a partner.
I feel so bad for my Arty…..
I am guessing that life is going well for you and for your Art...if so, much congratulations to you two.
Inheriting stuff from your life partner is not all bad....in fact if somebody gets lucky, it could be indeed...all good.
Having a loving and fun, and happy personality....such as yours...is a beautiful trait that Art is blessed to have inherited from you.
