Reliability

Before when I talked about what I'm looking for in the opposite gender, I mentioned responsibility.  It's very important for my partner to be responsible, and responsibility comes with maturity and experience.  I also mentioned how I want that person to feel responsible over me, just as I would feel responsible over him.

I'm starting to figure out that there is another key aspect that I'd require:  reliability.  My partner would need to be reliable.  Reliable emotionally, too.

There is a difference between being responsible and being reliable.  I guess when you're responsible, you are capable of taking great care of yourself.  When you're reliable, you're able to consistently come through for someone else.

I feel like this is a difficult quality to find, especially in today's world when everyone is out for themselves, and relationships and even marriages end when one person is having a bad moment.
