Can a good woman actually keep a man in line as in not getting into trouble?quote]
YES if that's what she wants for a full time job: 24/7. I've been there/done that. It's what made him feel "special" & it got old after about 4 years. I fell out of love with someone who had been a friend & confidante for over 10 years, since high school.
But he was also any woman's friend & confidante. He had no discretion. "YES" was his MOTTO. He would have stayed with me but I just got sick of it all. He loved the histrionics of my discovering his lies/indiscretions. Somehow that was supposed to mean he loved me.
He had a "simian line" on his hand, for all that's worth. Mark of the devil, lol! A very handsome, clever, CHARMING, intelligent devil.
