In an intimate relationship, Man's greatest fear is being misunderstood. In truth he wishes to be loving and gentle with his partner, but fears the appearance of being weak. It is for this reason that he will often put up a façade of not being a "Mister Nice Guy." I do not include the Male Chauvinist or Abusers in this train of thought; they have issues that even I won't go into.

The traits I refer to are deeply ingrained action/reactions taught from birth to adulthood. The best examples I can give is when a man's wife wants to show him a spontaneous act of love, such as a hug or kiss. His first reaction is a feeling of unease, or fear of an action/reaction situation about to turn sour, if not handled properly. This can be disastrous if his mind is not focused on what transpired moments before he is given the sudden attention.

In the beginning of a relationship, it is normal to have misunderstandings, as each of you work out your emotional needs and differences. How a man and a woman iron out these differences will set the course for how healthy their relationship will be. The key here is honesty and communication. Keep in mind the KEY to communication is listening to your partner's words and correlate it with their body language.

I have been told that I tend to wander from the subject at hand. I can only assume this is because I prefer to write an article in one sitting, as the subject is still fresh in my mind. In truth, I guess my main difficulty is trying to tie the significance of two separate subjects. A case in point is Honesty.

Honesty is more than just a Boy Scout oath or telling the truth. Honesty and Trust is the basis of being true to your self. By a man's knowledge and understanding of his own needs and fears is the only way that he will be able to deal with them as each new Event Horizon takes place. I place honesty over trust any day
