Well, mine is in his mid - late 50s. He is very thin with blonde hair and a space between his front teeth. I have that space too. Both of us had braces and still that space. We are about the same height. He is not an imposing presence at all. In fact, there are times when he completely disappears.
He is very provincial, old-fashioned - even wears a pocket watch. He wears long-sleeved starched dress shirts year round. He always wears a tie.
His desk and office are very neat, done in leather and dark wood, very opulent and masculine.
He comes from a very important family of physicians and lawyers in our area - like buildings named after them important.
He received his training at one of the most prestigious research institutions in the world, but never got into research.
He says treating patients feels like home to him.
He can be very compassionate, tender and quiet. He also can be distracted, stubborn and defensive.
I wouldn't describe him as empathetic, but experienced. I realized long ago our life experiences are just too different for empathy.
He makes mistakes with me when he gets lazy and is always lobbying for me to be in a relationship. He likes to talk about sex.
He is fascinated by my interest in tigers and all things predatory. He thinks the supernatural is infantile. He is Christian.
Sometimes his existence on this planet makes me mad. Other times, I love him with all my heart.
Seldom.
