This is an interesting discussion which makes me wonder if it is really our job to build up our spouses' low-esteem? How much do we feel "obligated" to carry that cross in the M? How healthy is that in a partnership that is supposed to have two people as two equal partners?
I guess the crux of this matter is how much baggage are we willing to tolerate from our partners. Let's face it: we ALL have baggage. It is all on how much we can put up with in a partner. Granted, we are not seeking a perfect 10 woman as in Bo Derek...c'mon!
Do you see where I am going with this thought process?
Dev, I cannot imagine being married to your W right now. It will just sap my energy and leave me drained. Who is looking out for number #1?? You. That's right.
