I’ll Tell you Where all the Good Men have Gone.

I think like most people who did not have a good male and female role model he modeled his perfect woman on what he saw on tv, and he let those same expectations on what being a man was influence him. Not necessarily bad, but limiting. Granted I've been married for over 10 years.
I believe that most of who you are with is what you are willing to accept. No man or woman is perfect, but expecting your wife to be a type A at the workplace, kick ass, bring home great money then become suzy homemaker once she steps over the threshold of her house is ridiculous. I am an aggressive, slightly abrasive female. I curse too much, love my high heels and have an inherit drive to succeed. I've scared many men away. I'm ok with that. But my loving husband who is always a gentleman, he pulls out my chair and opens the car door and has since we were teenagers. He has never been scared, intimidated or backed down to me. He doesn't yell, he's always a gentleman ( WHICH I LOVE) When I go to far, he puts his hand on my arm and says Damnit Brenna...and I realize that I screwed up, sit down shut up and agree. I make more money always have and since I have three degrees to his none, prob always will. He takes care of the home, and our son. Lifts me up when life gets me down and is my biggest supporter. We don't compete at home, because he's not the type to want too. We have a reverse 1950s and it works for us. I think half of a loving and working relationship is knowing yourself and your prospective partner. Who's career will come first? How will you split money? How will you raise children? If your honest with yourself and your partner you can find a good man or a good woman to complement you. If you spend to much time trying to be what you see on TV your doomed to fail...
