Men, don't put her so far up there she does not have room to come down. Truth be told the nose bleed section is a hard place for anyone to reside. Nobody is perfect but if you expect it, she just might try to be PERFECT just for you. And for a while you will be tremendously happy with her efforts. You will brag to your friends about what a great lady you have, how she anticipates your every need, how she is always there for you. You will speak of how she lives to make you zealously happy in every way. You will remind her of how satisfied you are with her ability to keep your plates spinning, all without blemishing the very creases on her perfectly displayed red lipstick. All for you!
The longer you keep her way up there on that pedestal, the longer she will stay there.
But if you don't make room for her to cry, to hurt, to feel something for herself other than the love she doles to you, then you will lose her. Not only will you lose her, but she will break your heart as she leaves you. That is because she needs to be able to breathe the parts of her that are not perfect. And if being with you is a constant reminder of her inability to bask in her "I am less than perfect" exhale, then she will escape your idolization to reach it.
Men you can avoid the heartbreak your angel will bring if you allow her to sometimes be a bit of the devil in her. You need not worry, your angel will return. Sometimes though she will want to break things just to watch you fix them. She will want to sleep til noon, eat cereal for dinner and watch you be totally okay when down to the last pair of clean underwear in the house, because she did not do the laundry.
So call her down from that high place you have put her and love her on every lopsided side. Just as she has done for you.
