I've been thinking about this more and more....and the physical flaws I couldn't move past on a first date might be something that wouldn't deter me from staying with the one I love until the day he or I dies. I would slather cream on him from head to toe for oozing boils or extreme psoriasis. I would brush his dentures, change his diapers, hand feed him. Help him in any way possible through whatever. But it wouldn't be something I could look past on the first date if this is what I had to deal with from that point on.
There is nothing, I mean absolutely nothing, that could make me leave my husband that might be a total turn off in dating scene. I have so much invested in him and him in me that we are together for better or for worse, through thick and thin, sickness and health, that includes ugliness and smells and ailments that aren't going to be pleasant.
He is my everything and he has gotten much more than he is bargained for in my health problems he has had to help me with and experience in close proximity. The least I can do is give it back to him when it is time. He cares for me while I am young so I can care for him while he is old.
