You are encouraging him to work on assertiveness and self-esteem. If he is successful, and he becomes more assertive and develops greater self-esteem, then the relationship presumably will no longer be between a strong woman and a MWLSE. What would that mean for you?
How I view a strong woman is someone who strives to become a better person and is willing to take risks when she knows that they aren't too dangerous. Someone who knows her boundaries in life and knows she isn't perfect.

Yes, I was wondering the same thing actually on what this lady in the article had meant too.

Though my envision of a perfect couple are two people working together to become better people; being supportive to one another. Also being compatible is a great match. If he wouldn't choose to help himself I wouldn't be dating him, plus I know he isn't completely low on himself. After I had posted this I did feel like I was labeling him.

I want to see him to become a stronger person and don't see a problem with him becoming more assertive. He's already opened up quiet a bit to me too.
