Keep-at-home mum Elena claims Mr Excellent doesn’t exist, and even admits she settled for her personal Mr Completely Common, husband Zachariah Andrews.

Right here, Elena, who lives in Birmingham with funding banker Zachariah and their sons, Adam, 5, and Noah, one, tells Martha Cliff and Samantha Brick why she thinks ladies must cease losing time – and settle, like she did.

GROWING UP, I used to be the last word romantic. I cherished watching romcoms and studying chick lit novels.

I’d all the time cry on the completely happy endings. In any case, who doesn’t wish to be swept off their toes by Mr Excellent?

But right here I’m a full-time mum and dedicated to my first and solely love. These days I’ve very completely different views in regards to the very existence of Mr Excellent.

Sorry to interrupt it to you Kim, however other than good hygiene I believe that’s fairly an extended, in depth and unrealistic listing you could have there.

If solely it was as simple to dream up a want listing and, with the wave of a magic wand, manifest all these qualities in a single single man.

The divorce charges could be at zero and we’d all be completely happy ladies, wouldn’t we?

When you discover him, please let me know the place.

Realistically, everybody — and together with you, Kim — should accept somebody who doesn’t have all these qualities.

Deep down, we ladies know completely effectively that he doesn’t exist. That’s why I imagine — as unromantic because it sounds — there’s completely nothing flawed with ­settling with a bloke who’s completely common.

I reckon you could possibly be losing the years while you’re in your prime attempting to find somebody who most likely won’t ever flip up in your life. Why wait?

I settled for just a few causes. Primary: I couldn’t be bothered to start out over.

Secondly I didn’t wish to dive into the ugly world of on-line courting. Nobody is really themselves on the apps.

Lastly, as brutal because it sounds, I’d desire to be with Zachariah as a result of I hate being alone. As a toddler I didn’t have crushes on boyband members or blokes in movies. I positively didn’t have my head turned by different blokes in school.

Zachariah and I met at highschool and have become an merchandise at 15. Sure, we have been ridiculously younger. Particularly as he’s my one and solely boyfriend.

However Zachariah is a relaxed, humorous, happy-go-lucky sort of individual. He’s one in every of life’s good guys.

Bodily he’s of common construct, these days he has lengthy hair and he’s tall, at 6ft 2in.

While you get up in the identical mattress with the identical bloke you’ve identified for 17 years you get to know them, warts and all. I do know his faults however then he is aware of mine too.

Each lady initially goes on about what an ideal relationship they’ve. However get them speaking and there are all the time points.

I’m a sensible and pragmatic lady. Mr Excellent, Mr Proper, or no matter you wish to name him, he doesn’t exist.

It’s why I passionately imagine that single ladies like Kim must do away with their “ultimate man want listing” and get with the actual world.

I’ve single work colleagues of their late 30s who go on about having not met the best individual. I do know for positive that they are going to finally accept somebody approach down their want listing.

With any single females I come into contact with I really feel it’s my obligation to remind them that the longer you allow it, the more severe the choice of males goes to be.

You decrease your possibilities drastically when you find yourself fixated on this construct, or that peak, or a sure eye color. There are good guys on the market.

It’s why I bang on about it on a regular basis — you’ll by no means discover somebody who ticks each field.

Zachariah? Belief me, he is aware of he isn’t Mr Excellent. And I do know completely effectively that I positively don’t meet the factors for Mrs Excellent both. We each snigger about it.

He tells his mum I’m all the time on the fitness center or by no means prepare dinner what he likes. We’re imperfectly good collectively.

It’s a little bit of a miracle we acquired collectively as a result of I chatted to him for my finest pal.

We have been in highschool and he was within the yr above me. It was my pal who appreciated him. I used to be her wing lady to go and sound him out. Dangerous luck for her, as a result of we hit it off as a substitute. Fortunately she was all proper about it.

Tables turned

He positively appreciated me extra at first. That’s most likely why just a few instances through the early years once we first began to see each other I did truly attempt to break it off with him.

I used to be fearful I used to be too younger to hitch myself to at least one individual throughout my prime years.

Additionally being sensible, Zachariah was off to college. But at any time when I introduced it up he’d get upset. So we stayed collectively.

Zachariah did one yr at one college in Westminster after which we each ended up at Queen Mary’s collectively. I studied enterprise and Zachariah did economics.

It was once we have been each college students that I found the tables have been turned.

As we acquired older and my emotions developed for Zachariah the roles did reverse. I used to be the one who was clingier than he was.

I started texting him extra, desirous to know what he was getting as much as. Discuss prompt karma.

In a brand new setting I used to be extra thinking about him as a result of he was my safety blanket.

He was hanging out with folks that bit older and extra subtle, to not point out clever.

After I turned 24 I took inventory and made just a few essential selections in regards to the path of my life. It was nearly the quarter of a century mark. I made a decision I wanted to offer Zachariah an ultimatum.

I used to be blunt about it. We had simply completed college, we weren’t dwelling collectively — did we’ve got a future collectively?

Are we going to have youngsters and create a life collectively or are we going in several instructions? He was shocked and a bit shocked by it — however right here we’re.

In the course of the run-up to my twenty fifth I did do a little bit of a relationship evaluation. “He’s not good — however he’ll do” is the way it went.

Trying again, we have been all the time critical about each other. At instances it was to various levels however I put that all the way down to each of us being very younger.

Sure, there have been scorching guys at college, however who is aware of what unhealthy habits that they had lurking beneath the good-looking persona? Despite the fact that I’ve no regrets, Zachariah is way from good.

If I had a magic wand I’d change his priorities.

Zachariah is an extrovert. He would moderately socialise with associates. I’m the alternative and like evenings at residence.

He’s very last-minute and doesn’t prefer to plan. I’m a saver and put cash by for the subsequent vacation or our residence.

He likes to spend, which is enjoyable, however when you could have a household it’s a must to prioritise.

Mummy’s boys

I’m energetic. I am going to the fitness center and deal with my determine. It goes with out saying I eat healthily too.

His favorite meal is curry — I can’t abdomen all that heavy meals.

Mine is grilled hen with pitta bread, which might be half the energy.

Don’t get me flawed, we do have some issues in frequent. I like to inform everybody I do have two Mr Perfects in my life, and they’re our sons Adam and Noah.

They’re each Mummy’s boys — for now. My companion jokes: “Lap it up, as a result of it received’t be like that for ever.”

ZACHARIAH SAYS: As for being known as Mr You’ll Do? It’s fairly cheeky. I get it, although.

I’m not good, neither is Elena. However we work as a crew and, to be sincere, I believe our variations are what makes us work so we don’t conflict.

At the moment I agree that perfection doesn’t exist.

As for girls holding out for Mr Excellent? As Elena stated, decrease your guard and compromise.

You’ll be shocked you could be completely happy and settle.

There’s an excessive amount of stress on everybody to be good.
