He loves me for who I am..flaws and all.He shares with me and he knows how to own up to his mistakes.He's not afraid to say "I'm sorry.

This is my man and I'm so proud to be his girl.Remember not all traits came with the package.I had to communicate and tell my man my feelings.He's in no way a mind reader.

I cannot stress enough how important it is for couples to communicate their feelings and expectations to each other. Your partner is not a mind reader so if he does something you really like, thank him for it so that he will be willing to do it again without you prompting him. The same goes for when he does something that upsets you. There is nothing worse than bottling up your emotions because it is inevitable that you will someday explode. Always remember to SPEAK UP because this could potentially be the person you spend the rest of your life with. Good luck!

Oh yea? Unicorns don't exist, hence my comparison about 'real men.' I don't think this is what you meant though. LOL.

Yep. I knew what you were talking about.

I don't think anyone like myself truly exists in the world anymore. So, I believe I am a unicorn.

Haha. Well then I'm a unicorn too then (this isn't necessarily a good thing).

I'm a guy and I'll answer this one.

A real man is one that is monogamous not because he is afraid of getting caught cheating or losing half of his stuff in a divorce but because he absolutely loves and adores the woman he is with and couldn't even think of being with another woman intimately.

A real man is one that loves and protects the woman he is with and treats her like a princess while being wise enough to know that as a human being she could never live up to the idealized and over-valued version of herself that he sees in his eyes, but makes her feel that way because she deserves it and he would never trade her for the world. He loves her despite any character flaws she might have and does so unconditinally. And not because he has to, but because he wants to.

A real man protects the woman he is with even though she might be capable of taking care of and protecting herself and realizes that his purpose in life while in a relationship with her is to evolve and become the man that she deserves to be with despite and and all flaws and imperfections he might percieve in himself.

And a real man that is also a wise man, is one that realizes that love never really lasts and if the point in time comes that she starts to wander and eventually leaves, he must ignore the very real and almost primitive male instinct to want to kill whatever guy got her attention and ultimately body and took away the most precious thing he ever held and be mature enough to realize that in order to truly love her, that it also includes letting her fly free whenever she decides that is time. And to conclude - in a situation like that. A real man does not betray the love he once had or claim to not love her anymore, but rather makes her memory and her life force that was once shared with him a part of his soul from that point forward, well into eternity.
