In this short video from the October 2018 Embodied Men's Leadership Training retreat in Panamint Valley, John describes an important choice a masculine partner must make when stepping into a relationship with a feminine partner.

Great masculine practice is to be able to be with chaos without collapse. If you decide, as a masculine friend or partner, to love a feminine being, you are stepping into taking on everything they're bringing; not just their wild heart, playfulness, and devotion, but also their trauma, problems and neurosis.

A lot people take that on when they really don't want to. If you do that, whether your partner expresses it or not, they will feel your lack of emotional integrity.

So it's important that you be ruthlessly honest with yourself: Are you down for loving all of her? If you're not, then bless her and move on.
