Attributes

Here is a list of attributes I see in myself. If I am ever foolish enough to open my heart again this is the standard I expect from a partner.

• Loves God
• Kind
• Honest
• Attends the temple at least once a month (Temple worthy)
• Respectful of the feelings, time, and opinions of others
• Understanding
• Forgiving
• Loving
• Humble
• Able to apologize
• Patient
• Continually working on improving
• Smart
• Capable with hands
• Attractive, takes time on presenting themselves in a wholesome manner
• Can and will communicate

Now, a few things I have to say to my ex-fiancé.

I lied to you once. It was on my birthday when I turned 35. I told you I went to hang out with a friend, but actually I did a boudoir session. I had a book of the pictures made for you and it was going to be my gift to you, my groom, on our wedding day.

I can count the number of lies I've told you on one hand. Honesty is really important to me. It's something I strive to live up to. I was overly lenient with you when it came to honesty. I excused it due to it being an attribute of addiction, not you. I understand now that those things are a lot harder to separate than I had hoped.
