how a man treats you during conflict is more important than any romantic gesture. flowers or dates won't matter if he raises his voice or his hand at you. sweet words won't matter if he ignores your feelings. love shows when he stays gentle even when he's mad, apologizes when he's wrong, and cares about fixing the problem instead of proving he's right. real love should feel safe, even during hard times. and how a man treats you during conflict tells you everything you need to know about him.
