Real men are not macho AM they are just men. But being course you would not kno that. Guys like me allow women to be women and we appreciate them for thier natural feminine traits . We don't try and make them into something they are not. BTW the wife and I have been in marriage counseling for going on 16 years. We started two years before we got married. You only get out what you put in. How much have you put it or did you just take the lets see what happens and hope it works out route?
