Man Discovers Girlfriend's Old Texts with a Friend Calling Him a 'Project' and 'Fixer-Upper,' Leading Him to Reconsider the Relationship

Welcome, gals and pals. Whether we've written it down or it lives in your subconscious, covertly dictating your dating preferences, we all have a list of attributes that we look for in a partner. Not every attribute is on the same level of importance. In fact, you can think of it as a cake: the actual bread of the cake represents characteristics that are requisite in order to date you; that could be something like having a stable job, speaking the same language as you, and having no criminal record. The icing of the cake represents traits in a partner that would be really nice, but not necessarily deal-breakers if they don't have them, like sharing a love and deep knowledge of all things Harry Potter. Finally, the sprinkles represent attributes that are totally unnecessary preferences, like a specific eye-color or accent. 

So, what if you meet someone who doesn't complete your 'cake,' but you know that they could in time? They say never to fall in love with someone's potential, but some people love a challenge. In our story today, a woman meets her partner at his worst, but seeing him for what he could be, dates him and helps him fulfill his true potential. Later, he discovers texts where she calls him a 'project,' hurting his ego and leading him to question the relationship. Scroll down for all the juicy deets.
