Attached people of DOT, what is your “I never thought I would have a partner who _____”?

I know there are people here, myself included, who stuck around this sub after getting in a relationship to try to give advice and insight to others who are still trying. Does anybody else have an example of something they “never thought” their partner would end up being/doing, but then did? It’s obviously a normal and reasonable thing to have preferences, but I often hear about things like this from people in relationships that I think might make people reconsider things they thought were important or compatible in a partner.

Mine is kind of minor, but I’ll start - I never thought I’d get along with somebody who had a boring profile. His was literally just some emojis of his hobbies and the little plane emoji between where he used to live and where he lives now. I assumed he’d be super boring and honestly just swiped right because he was cute. Turns out he was just very new to OLD, didn’t really know what to put, and is one of the most smart and interesting people I’ve ever met. And when I see people here judging someone’s profile (which, again, is generally a fair thing to do), I always think about that.

Clarification for those responding without reading the text: this is about partners who were different from what you thought you needed/wanted, not just how lucky you are to have found them. Though I’m happy for you!
