My husband and I have our problems, and I almost gave up on him, but I have to admit that he does often make me feel good because he builds me up often, reassures me that I’m a wonderful person, tutor, cook, etc., and accepts me completely. He’s not perfect, but I am really grateful to Brian, my husband who does comfort me. Even when I’ve said and done hurtful things, he tries to be understanding and he forgives me. Most importantly, he is there for me, brings me a bandaid when I get hurt, and brags about me to… Read more »

This I know to well.Yes I do mess up sometimes.when I’ve been hurt,or made to feel like I’m not good enough,pretty enough,or don’t say…it’s ok that you say one thing and do another.I believe if you want to be happy with someone then it has to be 50/50 on everything

Yeah, who was the author of that fantasy. Sounds like another Disney movie about a prince and a princess.

Thats how my babe makes me feel each and every single day and has been making me feel like a QUEEN for the last 20 years. Omg I FUCKIN LOVE HIM SO MUCH. thank you honey

I may b naive, bt it this not just love, and shouldnt a couple make each other feel like this anyways..equally. xxx

That all sounds great, but where do you find a man who actually does all this….consistently, not just in the beginning?

Give me a girl that respects a guys efforts and doesn’t look at them as too nice when they treat you with respect and I’ll be OK.

some just dont get it even if you do treat them that way, some take ANY kind of advice as criticism because they are insecure and have no love for themselves so they can only think negatively

Absolutely,right!! And goes both ways 😉 But its 🙁 knowing that a man like that is very rare…hope that he will come into my life before this year ends…

You all are saying the same thing! He this she that. Real Love, True Love is unconditional. You are only really loving someone when you give of yourself freely, and not expect anything in return, only then, if she, or he comes and asks to remain in your life, have you found real and true love. Everything else is a bonus, and adventure and a journey to everlasting happiness.

A REAL man will let his woman down because he is not perfect. But a real man will never intentionally let her down and never seek to fail her. And love will guide a real woman to forgive his shortcomings.

That’s a tall order! If you find someone who offers 50% of all of these qualities, then you’ve succeeded!

A real man won’t cheat, betray,lie,control and manipulate his woman…A real man won’t let her woman cry and hurt her feelings…

You speak of a good man. We hear you. So… Tell us the story of a good woman and what she should do to make her man happy and stay loving her. Us men would like your idea even though the smart ones know every woman is different as well as every man. There are no perfect examples. Your words fall on deaf ears to some. No 2 are the same. But i would love to know your advice.

Obviously all these things are great in theory but it’s asking a little much. The woman shouldn’t expect all of her insecurities and idiosyncrasies to be catered to on a regular basis, and she should be accountable for making her own self feel worthy and confident, and the same goes for a man.

A good man will not “always” do these things because no man, and no human is perfect. However, he will put forth his best effort. Though he may not be perfect, he will do his very best to let his woman know he loves her, will protect her and show he cares for her.

Real men can take women’s true words with love & respect. If he can’t even handle your words or the truth, then he needs to man up. I have high regard with men who can accept reality without being mean.

Can we stop with the men vs women. It’s a lie. Different people act differently. There are nasty men nasty women kind men kind women naive men and naive women. And every variation in between. It’s not a man’s job to validate a woman’s existence or a woman’s job to please a man. Do what makes you happy, don’t try to hurt other people, be honest. A good relationship is based on your actions as much as the actions of your partner.

These men don’t exist. And that’s OK.. because like men we are human and mess up too. Men deserve the same thing. At one point they can hurt you and probably will. Just find the one worth forgiving and fight together .
