So, what can you bring to the table?
This question was asked of me not long ago. Drunkenly discussing relationships, being in one, pursuing one, and discussing what we wanted. When he asked me my mind went blank. Maybe it was the alcohol, maybe it was because I had never been asked that before. I had no answer, well no answer that didn't sound like a cheesy inspirational post. What could I possibly bring to the table?
After thinking about it I realized that I could bring a positive support system in, no matter what I would support my SO 100%. I could bring fun and laughter into your life where maybe it was missing. I can bring balance and love. Respect for one another. There are so many things that can be brought into a relationship by anyone, I never really put much thought into it.
Now don't get me wrong, everyone has demons, even me, so when someone asks, "What can you bring to the table?" No one will say anything negative. Of course I won't list off all the shitty things about me. I can bring my depression, anxiety, PMDD, stress, and crazy ass mood swings. I can bring my financial burdens, irresponsibility with money, and debt. Lets add my incessant need for attention and positive reinforcement. He would never talk to me again if I listed these things. No one wants to hear these things. My demons and the negatives always stand out more than anything positive so maybe that's why I drew a blank.
Maybe he was right and I am just in love with the idea of an actual relationship, or he could be a million percent wrong. I know what I want because after a year of being in a "friends with benefits" type of thing I know I am ready for commitment and someone to love again. To actually be willing and ready to drop the other "prospects" and commit to you is kind of a big deal to me and it should be a big deal to you as well.
