This is a trick question, isn't it?

What is your worst quality as a significant other?
Am I supposed to take this question seriously? I mean, by definition, everyone who thinks I have bad qualities as a significant other must have questionable taste, to reject a being like me. Am I actually supposed to care what such beings think?
(sigh) Very well, as a thought exercise I'll *try* to pretend to take their objections seriously.
1. I'm arrogant, overbearing, and I think I know everything. In my defense, I *do* know everything, and besides which, being arrogant and overbearing are species traits that any Q would have, so if a mortal is going to complain about these aspects of dating a Q it's rather like me complaining that mortals die. I mean, you don't see me bitching about people and dumping them unceremoniously just because they're eventually going to die on me, and I consider that a much graver sin than simply having a healthy amount of self-esteem.
2. I'm egotistical. See above. It's hard to be humble when you're a god.
3. I'm thoughtless, irresponsible and hedonistic. I fail to see why being a hedonist is a bad trait in a significant other, but I have had that accusation leveled at me. As for being irresponsible, give me something to be responsible for and I'm not nearly as bad with it as everyone told me I would be. This one is actually an accusation my Q partners have made at me. I took them seriously once upon a time, but now, one of my loudest accusers has run out on me and our kid, so who's irresponsible again?
4. I don't care about anyone but myself. Not true. Why would I bother to manifest myself to lowly mortal beings and actually interact with them if I didn't care? I mean, there's plenty of beings in the universe I don't care about, but they're not in a position to say anything about it because they haven't met me. If I bother to talk to mortals I at least care a little bit.
5. I'm too sexy. It's true -- sex with a godlike entity can ruin a mortal for their fellow limited beings. I try not to blow their little minds too badly, but you never really know how much pleasure a mortal can take until they fall apart and you have to put them back together and erase their memories that it ever happened.
