If a woman was self empowered – even if she deferred to him, he still felt insecure.
It was hard to grow in such a relationship: having to watch every step for a mistake; never able to do something “right” that made him happy.

Looking around, the closest candidates were already taken.
But, even they did not contain that spark of romantic interactive intelligence she craved.
