I'm not asking him to develop respect for me that I haven't earned. I can fight my own battles, and I will. What I don't want is to have to fight them alone when I'm in a relationship with someone. I'm good at standing on my own two feet and standing up for myself, without anyone else's assistance ... I've been doing it for a very long time.

And already he's shown that he's willing to do that.... be my rock when I need him to be.
