I imagine him as a geriatric senior citizen. sometimes I see him as frail, some times over weight but he’s always bald with false teeth and lots of wrinkles and faded tattoos.
I feel a protective empathy and love for the idea of him as an old person. there is also a great longing to be old with him (to grow old together) and to care for him. I feel protective and hopeful? that we will have a long life together. I don’t feel grossed out or put off by the idea of him as a very old person.
I imagine if he were in an accident that caused him to lose all function (such as quadriplegia). Again the leading instinct is to care for him and make him comfortable. there is no “eww yuck” or “well you are no fun any more.” feeling at all.
TLDR: I get an overwhelming sense of love when I think of my partner as an old person and I know I would love him even if he became profoundly disabled or sick.?
