What is your worst quality as a significant other?
Like there's just one ...
You know, it's probably easier to ask what makes me a good significant other. It'll be a much shorter list than what makes me a bad one.
So, let's see, things that make me a good wife/girlfriend/whatever ...
... I got nothing.
Well, I guess I'm frakked on that. So, back to the original topic. Why I'm a bad wife/girlfriend/whatever.
To start off, I cheat. Just ask Sam or Lee. It's not that I don't love him, it's that ... I get bored really fast. That's part of why I became a pilot; with Toasters trying to shoot your ass out of the sky, you're always on your toes, the adrenaline's constantly flowing. When you're married, all that fire kind of goes out after the first few months. So I go find someone else to break the cycle for a little bit, until I feel like I can face him again and not want to kick his ass.
Not that I'll just go out and frak the first thing that looks at me. I have my standards.
... Except for that one time with Baltar, but that's a story for a different time.
After the cheating ... well, there's the drinking, the indifference, the death wish, the bitterness, the displaced anger, the absolute stubbornness that's the one Lee hates most, I know ...
... frak me, why would anyone want anything to do with me? Which I suppose goes to prove the point that I married a moron. Lee, on the other hand, is just crazy. Well, crazy stupid.
And on top of all of that, I'm loyal to my vows. That's the part that kills even me. I'm willing to bend all of the rules, but I made a vow before the Gods, and I will not break it. No matter who or what comes my way, I will stay married to Sam until the day I die since it's pretty much a given that I'll bite it before he does. I'm just infuriatingly faithful that way.
... I guess that's the worst.
