Women are naturally more emotional and caring. It is believed that our attitude towards love and romantic relationships is formed in childhood.
If there were no healthy relationship examples in our family, there is a chance that as we enter adulthood, we may make the wrong choice, neglecting our needs for the sake of a man.
Beg for love
True love does not need to be begged for. It comes naturally, without a sense of burden or obligation, without hard work.
When two people really want to be together, they are happy to put in the effort to develop the relationship, striving to make each other happy.
If you have to ask someone to love you, it probably isn't the kind of love you're looking for. Love should uplift and inspire, not degrade and crush.
Negotiate with him to keep him
A woman should not try to keep a man through negotiations, concessions or compromises that threaten her inner peace.
If the relationship requires you to constantly negotiate terms just to keep him around, that's a sign of an unhealthy relationship.
While agreements on small, everyday things like choosing a restaurant or movie can be okay and even helpful, major concessions regarding your values and principles are unacceptable.
Cry in front of him
If your partner truly cares about you, he will never be the cause of your suffering.
You should only cry in front of a man out of joy. If your tears are caused by pain, it can make you vulnerable and will not necessarily elicit sympathy - on the contrary, it can give him an excuse to use the situation to his advantage.
A healthy relationship means that your partner supports you and strives for your well-being, rather than exploiting your weaknesses.
Lie about him
If you hide negative aspects of your man's behavior from your friends and family, it may indicate that you are in the wrong relationship.
Pretending and creating the illusion that he is someone he is not is a clear sign that you have chosen the wrong person.
While there is no need to share every detail of your personal life, it is important to acknowledge problems, especially if your partner asks you to hide them. This is a red flag.
Help him financially
Financial support between partners during difficult times, such as job loss, is natural and important.
However, before you trust a man with your money, he must prove himself responsible and hardworking. Trust is built through time and trials.
If you constantly give a man significant amounts of money or regularly help him financially, this may lead to you becoming a victim of manipulation and insults.
Seeing a little child in him
Unfortunately, some women enter into relationships with men who do not show maturity and responsibility.
Such men do not help with housework, do not participate in raising children and expect that the woman will cope with everything herself, while avoiding stress and unnecessary effort.
But your role in the relationship should not be limited to supporting and caring for your partner as if he or she were a child. You deserve an equal partnership, not the position of a “second mother.”
