because even though I do not want children, I want to be with a man who has all the qualities I would consider would make a good father. I want a husband who: - is kind and compassionate, stops to think before acting or speaking - has patience with those who are less fortunate or intelligent - makes sure I never feel like I have to shoulder the entire burden of running the household (bills, chores, remodeling jobs, etc) - is able to exercise control over anger - wants to be involved in others' lives, especially mine - is willing to consider something important just because I consider it important, even if he thinks it's the stupidest thing in the world. - takes the time to remember others' pet peeves and avoid them, especially mine Am I wrong to want this kind of person in my life, even if I don't want to have kids?
