I'm exactly like that, and that's why I don't date men like Will. :-) The relevant measure is the Call Me On My Shit test. If they can't do that, it ain't gonna work. (I've never seen Will call Elizabeth on her shit, not once; on the other hand, Jack does it all the time, which is why I think they work better.) If I didn't have a conscience, though, I could be coddled as much as I wanted... On the other hand, men like Jack tend to be assholes in real life and that doesn't work out either. Hence, single. And maybe that's where Elizabeth should be, too, for awhile.

I do wish there was someone else in the movies who was actually good for Will. I think that's part of the reason I like the idea of Will/Tia so much. I think a woman like Tia would be able to make room for and see Will's strength in a relationship. She's not fighting blindly tooth and nail for power like Elizabeth is all the time, because she's got it and she's secure in her powerful femininity.
