My theory. You were attracted to the tough wild Marine because he was just that. Now you want him to be tough only when you need him to be tough, maybe when defending your honor but to put that side on a shelf the rest of the time. Believe me, if you have sons they love the tough Dad and want to be like him.

It reminds me of my sister in law, who while watching Gladiator asked me "what ever happened to men like that?"

I responded with "You couldn't handle a man like that. This guy has been gone for two years leaving you at the farm to raise his son. You would be writing him a letter complaining how 'Your son needs a father and I need a husband'."

Remember he may be wondering what happened to you but decided to just accept it.

Ouch. Food for thought, though, so thank you. :)
