He is not judgmental, even when he has every right to be

he is sensitive

he loves nature

He is a huge animal lover

he is a wonderful father

he is an incredibly hard worker

One of the things I admire about him post Affair is his bravery; He has fought against being vulnerable to emotions for his entire life and opposed to therapy, but since the affair he has jumped head first into the process of facing this issue and opening himself up to feeling, sharing his own and hearing other's emotions as well.

This was actually my ic homework that I have not done yet so here it goes. I love his sense of humor, his creativity, his attention to details now, his intelligence, and his ability to have a conversation with anyone.

Before the A I would've listed confidence, but I have learned that that is one thing he didn't and doesnt have unfortunately.

I admire the way he has been willing to do things to heal this relationship that are not his cup of tea; IC, MC, reading book after book about affairs, expressing his negative emotions, and having the courage to admit to some personal issues he has help on to our entire marriage.

I appreciate that when I fall into one of the "bad" places(and it happens fairly often) he finds the strength and patience to pull me out.

I love that I can count on him to make good decisions for us and our family. I have learned that while I do NOT trust him in some ways, I do in others. I trust his judgement wrt our kids, our home, and our finances. We make almost all our decisions together, but if we didn't, I could trust him to do a good job.
