Outdated rules that prevent you from building a harmonious relationship with a man

This is an established stereotype, which is not always applicable in the modern world. It all depends on the partners and the established nature of the relationship in the couple. I will make a reservation that we are now talking about a situation where a man and a woman have been dating for some time, but words of love have not yet been spoken, and not feelings that are obviously not not reciprocal. If your guy is an active, leadership-inclined guy, confessing his love first really isn’t the best idea. He may perceive such a move as an attempt to compete and feel out of place when control of the situation is not in his hands. If your guy is a different kind of person, softer and more shy, he will treat such recognition as a show of openness, and maybe even grateful for the initiative.

A person with almost any behavior or character trait can find a partner who will accept him with all his quirks. However, it is important to know how much the “problems” of women affect a man’s life, impose on him obligations or restrictions that seem meaningless to him. If this is the case, then it will be more difficult for him to accept such manifestations of the character of the partner as cute traits.

It seems to be calmer: the one who loves less has more control over relationships. This seems to protect against disappointment and is a guarantee of stability for the couple: a partner who is deeply in love will not leave, will not change, will not betray.

However, over time, in this situation, a man will inevitably become dissatisfied and feel that only he needs this relationship. Thus, the situation will begin to work for the destruction of relations, and not for their strengthening.

This is also partly the case. A gift is always a message. Think about what kind of message you want to convey to a man when you give him an expensive gift? What goal do you pursue, apart from just pleasing him? What role do you want in his life? Often expensive gifts represent an attempt to “buy” love or to hide the desire for power and the desire to dominate the relationship. A man who receives an overpriced gift from his wife may experience it as a threat to his masculinity and feel indebted to her. It’s better if your gifts are about equal in value.

It’s true. But not just men. Who even likes this feeling? Pity is a top-down view, an attitude that is often interpreted as demeaning. But this, of course, does not mean that men do not need sympathy and warmth.

In any relationship, it is important to have a balance between giving and receiving. If there is a bias in any direction, it makes communication disharmonious, one of the partners will remain dissatisfied. The contribution of the participants can be very different: one can be responsible for the financial well-being of the family, the other for the emotional harmony of the couple. It is important to say these things so that everyone’s contribution is visible and appreciated by both parties.
