After being together for 4 years now, I've found that I've definitely absorbed some of Steve's qualities, especially his 'Korean' ones.
For example, I'm can be much more confrontational now - something I never was before.
I'm also a little more particular about details which wasn't previously one of my strengths.
What personal qualities from your current/past partner have you acquired?
Are we talking about absorbing protein?
Funny... with my ex... I've been more confrontational, mostly because it's all we did... but with less and less involvement with my ex that to is changing and noticeably getting back to "my old self"... I'm also not that stubborn in person or emails, PM's etc... as I am in the forum
Through out life, we absorb a lot of traits and lose a lot of traits... a partner brings in new perspective, one you may have never considered before and it's absorbed...
As humans we change and evolve for the better we hope... It's only natural!
I'm certainly not the same person I was 6 years ago and I doubt I'll be the same person that I am now 6 years from now...
The essence of who we are will likley remain the same, but with a whole new perspective and having a partner to enrich our experience and perception is what it's all about...
That was exactly my thought when I saw the title and thinking WHY ADRIANA finally having some fun with thread
I think mimicry is one of the best qualities human's have and of course we all do it for whatever the reason hoping to grow as a better person.
I personally haven't had a long term realtionship for a long time but when I did I picked up things like how to relax, be open minded and being sensitive.
That's an awesome insight Chewie, thanks for sharing it.
I agree.
We are continually evolving - ya maybe absorbing too much protein affects our brain too!!
We use to joke about how my whole arm should basically be his DNA by now...
haha... I think after 4 years... it would be MORE than an ARM!

I use to love to argue, but I have no desire for that anymore, unless of course it's about one of my passions
Steve has really taught me how to hold my ground in certain circumstances though and I'm grateful for that.
He has certainly learned to be more patient and tolerant
Holding your ground might be the Coreaness in Steve influencing you! (ok... don't flame me if anyone reading this is Corean I don't need to state the obvious)
But that's the whole point of a relationship isn't it... each bring qualities to the table and are influenced hopefully for the better...

She's a lot of fun... ask her about her turkey fisting incident!
Yes, this thread was meant to be on a more light hearted and fun note -
I volunteered a personal demonstration for the fisting thing for Steve and even took it down a notch to fingering, but he would have NONE of it!!
Having fun is really important and taking everything in life too seriously isn't worth it.
Thats one of the many great things about having kids, it enables us to keep a more youthful innocent rather than jaded perspective.
I wonder how many parents acquire some of their children's attributes?
If you compare your personality traits before and after you were with your ex, what would you say the biggest changes were or still are?
Didn't they say that after a couple have been together long enough they begin to look alike?
I think the answer is a definite yes. I'm not in a relationship, but since I met my Irish friend I acquired his love for alcohol and Irish women. He bought a motorbike under my influence and totally sold on the idea of opening an Irish pub in Shanghai.
It's that not that hard to for us to be "influenced"
