One of the perks of both the earlier sunset and having an office in full view of the parking lot? Doing a reasonable facsimile of downward dog in order to floss out that damn thing that's been stuck in my teeth since lunch. Hello, law students! Am flexible!
Not to go all Carrie Bradshaw on y'all, but what are some relationship deal-breakers that you've overlooked because of your affection for the person in question?
I swore I would never date a boy who spat. Granted, my frame of reference was limited to "high school dirtbags hanging out behind the cafeteria...haaaaawk-PTOOIE!" spitters. And then I met a boy from Oklahoma. And granted too, he was not a typical Okla-homeboy - more like a typical chorus-boy-who-could-give-Tommy-Tune- a-run-for-his-money-in-both-height-and-tappability. And he spat. "I'm from Oklahoma; it's what we do." But he was always very subtle about it - no hocking of the loogie, more like an old cowboy settin' on a porch chewin' terbacky. So I didn't mind it.
The emotional unavailability, however....
Other things I tolerated at the time - smoking, hairiness, Mormonism (joking, he and his family were lovely people)...and one I tolerate to this day, twelve years later. I swore I'd never be involved with a guy with a moustache.
Reader, I married it.
So how 'bout it? What did (or do) you tolerate that you never thought you would?
(Okay, is it weird that I just had to look at my theatrical resume in order to get the chronology of the men in my life?)
