I really enjoy your writing. This reminded me of something I've said for a long-time, half-jokingly, but half-serious too - intimate relationships are not for the faint of heart . . . .

I think we all have had those experiences where we suddenly realize that the person in our lives isn't what they either pretended to be or what we wanted them to be. The last time this happened to me was with the woman I consider to be the love of my life. We were amazing together, similar intellect (actually, she was one of the smartest people I've ever met), senses of humor, sexual desires, etc. She was the perfect amount of submissive. But her emotional fortitude, or lack thereof, doomed our relationship. She lived in constant fear I would discover how flawed she was and leave her. That was bullshit, of course, because I literally knew her better than she knew herself and loved her with every fiber. I'm perfectly happy to run into battle for my partner, and be the strong, supportive man. But I also want to feel as though I'm with someone who, on those rare occasions, I can lose my shit with and know she's got my back. Staying with the battle analogy, I want someone on my assault team who, if I get wounded, will throw me on her back and won't leave me behind. My borderline ex-wife was firing pistol rounds into the back of my body armor. But with the woman I mention above, I knew if I got hit, she'd say 'I'm real sorry you got shot, but I've got a chopper to catch'.
