My husband must be a rare bird also, having been able to have a similar relationship with his friends. I think it is very important for men to have relationships like this and it is great you have found a group of guys like this, that is indeed rare. The only other thing I'd like to comment on, respectfully, is that although the majority of women may "..tend to tell us what we want to hear, to nurture us," however not all of them are that way. A good friend will tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear, regardless of sex. This is something we value and perpetuate between me and my two best friends, Rob and Shawn.
