...relationship is how important an emotionally stable partner is.
Here's a list of the characteristics I think are most important. They are not in any particular order and not necessarily a complete list, however I am sure I will not compromise again on emotional stability. Hmm, when I go down through this list it seems several of these are probably related to emotional stability.
What do you think? How important is emotional stability to you?
Emotional Stability/Maturity
Character/Morality/Ethics
Shared Interests
Physical Attraction
Financial Responsibility
Sense of Humor
Positive Attitude
Compassion/Empathy//Understanding
Open-minded
Commitment-minded

But, in all seriousness, I like your list. Sense of humor, not being suffocating, financial smarts are important to me. Not being rich, but not being bad-credit, poor-house, can't pay my bills type. Nope, I'm too financially sound to take on that kind of mess.
Shared interests is important. Another one for me personally is if the guy has an X wife and kids, then he needs a stable, decent relationship with the X wife, because I will not take on somebody else's messy drama.
At the top of my list is no addictions. I'm also not into drama. I don't want to hear about how ALL of life is unfair. I figured that out when I was 6
YES!
NOOOOOO drama!! And, dude, have a JOB and health insurance. I'm not your Mama. LOL.
I'd like to put an asterisk or two next to the morality category, and the compassion one too. Remorse is in there somewhere between the two, I never would have thought that would be important to me, but a person who has no remorse or regrets over anything, was not a pleasant person to be with the last time around. I need to be with someone who is able to say they're sorry and actually mean it, to feel bad that they caused me or someone else hurt...even if they didnt mean to.
...emotional stability.....
"the gold standard"

Perhaps the operative phrase for those times is "Grace under pressure"?
Fire in the hole!!!!

Here's to EQ, not just IQ.
Integrity is a biggie for me.
