Not threatened because of my strength as a woman. He would celebrate all my successes and urge me to conquer the world, if I felt I wanted to, lol.<br /><br />You know what, I wonder if he's already born...I guess, that I'm just a little despondent.

I have the habit of detaching and trivializing a person by giving "him" a secret nickname...ie Snuffaluffagus,SoftShoe,DamnSexy.
