List of Stuff I want from partner

So I am making this list... it will help me process what I did love about stbx and what I did not love. It will also help me see if I get infatuated with someone down the road and think "he's the one" then I can come back here and say oh.. hmm... no i guess being "cute" does not make him the one. :P

Things I want:
- Honesty
- Decent sense of humor
- Decent health/not overly overweight
- 100% faithfulness
- Doesn't smoke
- Doesn't do drugs
- Drinks only occasionally, or at the most 2-3 drinks a week, and is responsible about it
- Likes cats
- Educated/getting an education
- Joy of reading (ok maybe not as much as me, but still reads occasionally, be it a news paper or books or whatever)
- wants a family (1-2 kids, maybe adopt one)
- Good to others
- Respectful to others
- Loves and values family members (his and mine)
- Likes to spend time with my family
- Doesn't make fun of me for my zombie obsession
- Likes my silly faces and noises, and encourages them
- Likes going to movies
- Wants to go out dancing with me
- Wants to do activities with me, instead of by himself at least 80% of the time
- Likes to explore sexual stuff with me (outside of involving a 3rd party)
- Doesn't do porn or strippers unless I'm with him and say it's ok
- Is supportive of my career, but would also be supportive if I stayed home with the kids for a while (assuming we could afford it)
- Is smart, and could support us if I lost my job
- Values home ownership
- Open to going to my church
- wants to have grown up conversations
- ok to be silly and playful sometimes too
- wants to have grownup relationships with other couples/people that aren't still in their teens or early 20's.
- not afraid to show me that I am important to him
- places me before all others
- puts our marriage as his #1 priority, besides health and God if he's into God.
- Doesn't do anything that he wouldn't do if I was in the room (besides poo)
- Loves me for me, not for who he wants me to be
- is someone I can love for him, not for who I want him to be
