[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]-- [b]Spoke kindly of everyone in his life and saw the best in them.  He's not a doormat -- just patient and kind to other people.  [/b]

When we were dating I saw it in the way he treated our parents and friends, his work colleagues, and even the waitress who got our order wrong etc.

Now that we're married and parents together, this is the trait I appreciate the most.  It's so simple, but it matters day to day.  I would hate being married to someone who was cynical or critical of me, DC or others in our lives.

-- Didn't need to be "right" all the time.  He was able to listen to another opinion and even agree with it if it made more sense than what he first thought/said.

-- Responsible .  He took good care of his home, managed his money well, planned vacations, cooked decently enough.  Basically he didn't need a woman to "take care of him, which is great.  The way I see it, we're both able to take care of ourselves and each other, so there's lots of support all around.

I think it gets a little tricky here. Where do you draw the line between being a kind and patient person and a doormat? How do you create personal boundaries and defend them?
