Welcome Cherilyn,
Your post made me think of synergy (I think that's what it's called) where the sum of the parts is greater than the individual parts. When you guys were together the sense of wholeness you felt was somehow greater than what he was actually giving you. I'm not saying he isn't right for you, he may be. But being in love is a really powerful tonic for our insecurities and flaws. When the relationship really has to be strong is when the fireworks are over. If you and your partner can accept each other, flaws and all, after the euphoria, now that's perfection to me.
