Addison knows how to let Sam feel like a man, as well as check him and be a strong intelligent woman at the same time.

Addisam 

A fictional couple from the show Private Practice made up of Addison and Sam. Quite possibly the worst relationship to ever grace television, full of lovely conversations like the one where Sam got angry at Addison for reporting a rape to the police or the one where he said he'd "try" to love her and beautiful interactions like the time he threw her against a fence and forced himself on her despite her protests or the time he shook her because it was her mother's funeral and he didn't like the way she was grieving.

Fans are supposed to believe he is too perfect for Addison though because she is simply a cheating whore and should be happy with whoever will put up with her and her silly emotions.

There was another Addisam scene on tonight's episode. And yes, Sam did state how perfect he was yet again.
