Have you ever felt that all your ideas about relationships are not realistic? Or that all the advice on how to communicate with men, taken from trendy magazines, doesn’t help you build long-term relationships? You make one mistake after another, not even realizing that you are “digging your own grave.” And then it turns out that the life partner you chose isn’t that great after all.
Here are six common mistakes women make in relationships with men:
- Women use their maternal instincts towards their partners.
How would you feel if your man treated you like a child, coddling you or making decisions for you like a father? So why are you treating an adult man like a little kid? Of course, every man needs affection and support from the woman he loves. But this doesn’t mean you should take on a maternal role. Be a woman for your partner; after all, he already has a mother. - Women put men first.
Your significant other might want to be your top priority. However, any mature man understands that if a woman puts herself second, she stops living by her own standards. Imagine someone valuing another person more than themselves. They will end up doing whatever they’re told. While some might enjoy having a “handy pet” by their side, no self-respecting man will stoop to that level. If you devalue yourself, why would your partner value you? Put yourself first, love yourself, and only then will you attract a man who will appreciate and love you. - Don’t fall in love with your man’s potential.
The future is when you can be happy and live well. But don’t forget that only the present shapes your destiny. If the man by your side has the potential to achieve success, that’s one thing. But what if he never acts on that potential? Your future will remain the same as your present. It’s essential to see the possibilities in everyone, but remember that those potentials must be acted upon to create a beautiful future. - Women don’t show their strengths.
Afraid of scaring a man away with their abilities, women often play “the fool.” Ignorance can indeed be attractive to many men. But no successful man will marry such a fool because he needs to be confident that his wife can handle any problems that arise in her life and the family. A man cannot do everything, so he needs a smart partner. Therefore, you don’t have to hide your abilities, but don’t try to constantly prove your superiority over your partner either. That’s also unappealing. - Women submit to men.
If you use this approach in sexual games, it might excite your partner. But in real life, you need to be a respected person, as only then will your man be able to love you. If you submit to your partner in everything, you will be played with and discarded like an unnecessary object. How else can it be? After all, that’s how you are positioning yourself. - Don’t act like a little girl to get what you want from a man.
If your partner lacks insecurities, he won’t allow himself to be with a woman who behaves like a spoiled little girl. Be wise and mature, and then you’ll attract a responsible and respected man. Often, women cultivate bad qualities in their partners through their behavior. If you don’t want to spoil your partner, don’t play silly games that are only suggested during the stage of sexual desire. Be a mature woman: wise, nurturing, and beautiful. Then your man, who should be your husband and the father of your children, will take on all the necessary responsibilities to ensure your happy life.
