I think there should be a level in a relationship. Both parties have common sense and protective of each other. Meaning I am not a dumb bird that is gonna pop off and I wouldn't want my dude to put himself in dangerous positions. I think being protective is part of loving someone. You don't want them hurt you don't want harm to come to them. If there is a situation you should be there for each other.
brilliant. the thing with most people i find is this:
while man and woman exist in a relationship, often times they forget that there one unit or one entity. coming together on one accord. It like her struggles are his struggles, his pain is her pain , im real protective though when i am in a relationship.. It just one of those things that naturally instill in a man where he protect his queen [[[with me it like one of those things i have to do]]]], although nowadays it seems like it a complete 180. Things of the sort build a bond and a commonality between the two.
Even if you want to break it down in a analogy of chess. The king is said to be the strongest piece, however the queen is the second strongest.
