The issue is that I questioning if I'm wanting too much from a partner...am I unrealistic and demanding?
I certainly do NOT think you are being to demanding. I know I want in a mate or companion someone who is honest and trustworthy without addiction problems.
That is NOT too demanding. I do believe that is what most folks are looking for, both males and females.
Again, trust your gut! Anything coming out of his mouth is QUACKING.
