Many years ago my wonderful Dad (May he rest in peace) told me:
"Son, there are two types of people in this world - and I don't mean men and women. There are Givers and Takers. Do yourself a big favor: Stick with the Givers.”
AND I’m adding the following to what he told me:
There are absolutely two things in this world I won’t tolerate:
DON’T lie to me. No matter how much it might hurt, tell me the truth.
DON’T steal from me. When you steal it tells me and probably A WHOLE LOT of others one thing: that’s all YOU are worth.
As far as the other attributes you added to your Q are concerned, those are attributes you have to honestly weigh for yourself.
Just as important as what you asked, is the following:
“What am I bringing and giving to our relationship?”
THEN you add what are important to you.
Of course, there’s always the answer or alternative which satisfies only you: “No!” or “Nothing!” THEN you walk away.
Thanks for asking your Q! I think I did my best to answer it.
VTY,
Ron Berue
