That really is an excellent remark WildChild.
No one is going to show their true self until a comfort level is reached. If my man had been acting this way from the start, I would have bailed. But right off the bat he was intelligent, could match my wit and made me laugh, had a good time, was my perfect mate on intimacy and physical levels as that progressed, AND he treated me like a lady. He took me out on dates and did old fashioned courting for awhile. Unfortunately, as WildChild says, once a certain level of comfort is reached, you really start to see some people's true character come through. And at that point, the connection has been built and it's all too hard to walk away.
I agree that there aren't many men without emotional issues. It's not "settling" for less by staying with these men, but accepting that we are all flawed. It's all about finding who's you want to deal with the most I suppose.
