what to do when he pulls away

You might be dating someone right now, you really like him and you think you’re compatible with him. He also shows the same interest. He gives you the attention that you wanted, making time for you, and generally letting you know how grateful he is to have met you.

But, when you feel like your relationship is going to the next step, something happens…

Signs he is pulling away

He’s acting differently, not as usual and it quite scary. You’re starting to think that he’s pulling away, but you’re not sure. That is a terrifying thought. Especially for those who’ve been down that road before. Having the same nightmare is not a great experience.

Slowly it can make you stress and an even more stressful to your relationship. That why it’s important for you to know about the problems, how to react to it and handle it carefully. With proper action, you can bring the relationship back from the brink.

Learn the signs he is pulling away, figure out what is going on, clear the communication and hopefully solve the problems.

So in this section, we’ll talk about the signs that a guy withdrawing from a relationship. I will share with you a list of thing that guys always do when they’re pulling away.

1# He acting distant all of a sudden

It could be that he’s losing interest, or it doesn’t mean like that. Men are different from women. They are often dealing with their problem by retreating rather than relying on you or the others.

So, he may have something going on with his personal life, stressed out or emotionally off balance that taking up his attention.

This can be hard for most women to understand because as for women, they love to share their thought with their partner.

2# He text back less and less

He tries to avoid your text. It may take him a few hours or days just to reply to your texts. He may give a lot of excuse of why he didn’t reply to your text, or he could just silently ignore your texts. When they don’t bother to tell you about their life, or simply don’t want to share it with you – it’s a strong sign that he is pulling away.

But don’t rush into a conclusion, perhaps there’s something going on at work or in his family that causing stress. And they’re not ready to discuss with you yet. So, give him some time and space that he needs.

3# He no longer initiates thing

He not initiating plans or text as often as before. No longer good morning or good night text. And no longer weekend hangout activity. For women, changes in behavior are hard to ignore. It affects them emotionally and mentally.

Because we know when men interested in women, they tend to initiates thing. So when he stops initiates, it worrisome.

Just for a reminder, if you’re already in a relationship for quite some time, you can’t expect him to court you non-stop. You need to be considerate in this kind of ‘topic’.

4# He being way more secretive

Everyone has their own privacy. But if this happens suddenly, keep in mind that it is not normal. You can tell the difference if he is more secretive with their texts, always put the phone on his pocket and take calls in another room.

This is a clear sign that he is not interested to share his personal life with you or he just has someone else other than you. If this happens to you, whatever the reason, you should have a good discussion about your relationship ship status with your partner.

5# He’s too busy to keep plans

Did he always give an excuse or another when you make a plan? Suddenly got work that needs to be done, has to see friends or anything. And you feel that he keeps knocking you off from the priority list?

Well, canceling every time is rude. And if he is really interested in you, he will make you a priority. Even if he needs to cancel the appointments, he will arrange another plan for you.

In order to confirm whether he is pulling away or not, you need to check this behavior along with his other behaviors. Because it is also possible that he just suddenly been busy or he feels that things are more established between you, and you’re understanding his situation.

Just pay attention to how often it happens. If it constantly happens, you may need to talk with him about your current relationship issues.

question to ask yourself before you start dating

Why do men pull away?

The reasons men pull away can mean any number of things. And it not necessarily that your relationship is in bad condition. Sometimes it has nothing to do with ‘you’ at all. Maybe, that is how your men prefer to deal with stress and difficulties. And the other part, its really because of you.

A guy pulling away is actually quite normal. It’s natural for him to drift away at some times. Maybe he’s going through something that you didn’t know and he is not ready to share those things with you. Because men didn’t want to be seen as a weak person. They choose to hide their emotion and also their problems.

That why it’s important to remind yourself that if he is acting distant, don’t strictly jump into conclusion and panic. Your relationship situation totally depends on your action.

By knowing how to manage this situation properly, you can prevent the situation from getting worse. From time to time, it’s going to become less and less frequent.

Here are the few reasons why do men pull away:

1# It’s not your fault, at all.

He might struggle with his works, his life, health, family, financial status or anything. That slowly consume his mind, energy, and attention for you.

Whatever the reasons, if it has nothing to do with you, don’t bother to push him by asking him telling the truth. It’s not working. Men typically prefer to deal with the problem on their own. This is why he didn’t tell you or ask for your help.

So, being panic and get very anxious is just going to make him pulls away even more. Instead, show your support by giving the space that he needed. As an example, you can send a text message:

“Hi, I’m not sure what happened to you. But if you need some time to wraps thing up please do so. I just want you to know that I’m always here if you need me.”

This message shows that you’re willing to understand his situation and allow him to do his thing. However, don’t wait for him like forever. I will share with you a few other suggestions down below, if it still not work, just moves on to a better person.

2# He’s having doubt about the relationship

Doubt in a relationship is pretty common. It is unavoidable and sometimes it’s not necessarily a bad sign. Because as a human being, it’s natural to feel confused with the relationship. No matter how long you’ve been together.

But, having too much doubt isn’t good either. And it will be getting worse without proper communication. Eventually, it can push your loved one away.

That’s what happens for most of the men that pull away. He may have his own reason to doubt a relationship. It could be because he’s losing interest and want to rethink the relationship. Or it was because of his fear.

Maybe he’s been hurt in the past, so the idea of commitment simply horrify him. He doesn’t have the confidence to move forward. If you want to support him, you need to be calm and don’t push him too hard. Let him deal with what’s scaring him.

3# You freak him out

It happens all the time. He thinks that he knows you. You’re funny, caring, lovely and hygiene. But then he finds out, oh you’re a bit different. You’re controlling, clingy, insecure, and a dirty person! No wonder that he loses attraction.

The above situation is just an example. There are many other reasons why men pull away:

  • Maybe you didn’t give him space when he needs it
  • He feels trapped or afraid to lose his freedom
  • Your family doesn’t like him
  • Your future doesn’t line up with him
  • You’re rude to his best friend/family members

The list can go on and on, nonstop. He may pull away because of you, but don’t totally blame yourself.

For me, if he doesn’t like you because of your body shape, your skin color, your hair or anything that didn’t benefit you. Just leave him be and find someone else better. He is not worth your time and your love.

But, if he didn’t like something about you because he thinks that you can be a much better person. Then you need to consider his opinion. As an example:

  • He didn’t want you to eat junkie and overweight. You should eat more healthy food.
  • Take care of your hygiene, clean your room and your house.
  • Reduces alcohol and cigarette. Stop if possible.
  • Take care of your appearance.
  • Live a healthy lifestyle.
  • And etc.

I didn’t agree 100% with a quote “just be yourself”. Simple explanation, if you can be better, why not?

Here you may need to watch a video from Mathew Boggs, he shares a very interesting point of why men pull away when things are good.

When he pulls away, should I do the same?

It’s natural for women to feel worried and put more effort into the situation when his man is pulling away. They tend to fix the situation by trying to get closer to him and involved in his life. Ask him a lot of question to dig what’s going on to figure out the root of the problem.

Sad to say, this reaction always causes the opposite of their desired effect. Men tend to pull away even more when women try hard to pull him back. So the best way to stop them from withdrawing is to stop trying to pull him back.

We are not going to teach you to ignore your man. But this suggestion is more focused on yourself. Increase your attraction so that he draws to you as he was before.

How to win him back after he pulls away?

Giving room for each other may heal your relationship. It prevents your situation from getting worse.

Sometimes, being apart from each other allow you to reset and feel comfortable with yourself. It enables you to recharge your energy. You can go to your favorite island, spend your time to read your favorite book, hang out with your girls and do anything that you wanted.

All things need rest and refreshment, including relationship. So use this time to:

1# Don’t stress out

Stressing out is never be a solution. No matter how much you love him and worried about him, do not let your emotion consume you. Don’t make a decision based on your emotion. You need to know what you’re dealing with first before trying to fix it.

Maybe he has just been busy with his lives. And don’t expect him to chase you all over again like he did when you first start dating. He may initiate often when he tries to win over you. But once things have gotten more stable, he will start to slow down. Remember, he also has jobs and lives.

So the first step is, figure out what problem you’re dealing with. Check back all the signs that I mention above. If it clear that he’s pulling away, you can proceed with the next step.

2# Focus on yourself

Don’t try to call him or text him. Just leave him alone at this moment in time. No need to remind him that you exist and waiting for him.

If he wants some space to settle up his things, take this opportunity to take some time to focus on yourself also. Recall back things that you really want to do, your goals, your friends, your hobby, or anything.

Use this time to focus on things that can boost your own self-worth. As an example going to the gym, practice yoga and meditation. Many studies have shown that exercise can improve your self-esteem and mental health.

When you focus on your things, you slowly raise the attraction that he feels for you. Because when you don’t chase and focuses on your own thing, you show your strength and confidence. Which is are attractive qualities for men.

3# Get ready for the better relationship

There is a moment in your life where you need to be alone to reflect on who you are, how your life, where’s your direct and what’s your plan. Use this time to rekindle with your own voice.

Check back your past relationship with him, get the new idea for your relationship and more. Rekindle with your own voice also can help you solve your own problems without comparing to another person opinions.

Other than that, you can use that space to do things on your own and bring those new experiences to the table. If you recall back, there were the times when you spend time with your partner, but you don’t actually interact with him.

Both of you just sitting in silence playing with the phone. It should be no problem if this happens once in a while. However, if this happens too frequently, you need to admit that both of you literally have nothing to talk about.

So by taking some time off to focus on your personal time is not a big deal. You’ll have better preparation and have more things to talk about with your partner.

4# Check in after a few weeks

Yes, you don’t want to put pressure on him, but it doesn’t mean that you should just ignore him. After you’ve spent some time (a week or two) focusing on yourself, it time to check where he’s at.

Shoot him a positive message about your life that makes your interest clear and gives him a chance to be involved. Just a quick text message is enough. Let him know that you’re thinking about him and offer some help if he needs.

Don’t mention anything about his disappearance, just keep it light and casual. If he still ignores your text and shows no interest, it’s time to move on. You’ve already made your interest clear, but he didn’t respond to that feeling.

There are more amazing guys out there, who would be more than happy to accept you in their life. Time to fly babeh!

5# Welcome him when he comes back

If he chooses to come back, welcome him. Don’t pout, give him positive reinforcement. You need to move forward with a clean heart. Do not hold onto resentment or anger.

You might not agree with me, but I still think that you didn’t need to let him know about how bad you’re hurt when he pulled away. Hold your emotion, show your confidence, be open and don’t judge anything until he says something about it.

The chances are high that he will say sorry about it. He might tell you everything about why he has been missing. Don’t bother about whether it’s true or not, he just expressing how bad he feels about it. So leave it alone and move forward.

Final thought…

I hope this article helped you understand exactly what to do when he pulls away, the reason behind that and how to react to the situation. It may not complete, but I think its enough to cover all the basic part of the problem.

Remember, if someone is committed to the relationship, then he is most likely not gonna fade away. He may take some time to settle things (which is what we’ve been discussed below), but he will not ghosting you.

If he just fades away, don’t waste your time and your tear on him. He’s not worth it, just move forward to find a better person. That’s all from me, if you have any question leave your comment below. I will answer all your question myself.

Lack Of Communication In A Relationship And How To Improve It

/0 Comments/in /by

Communication is the act of transferring information from one person to another. It sounds simple, but communication is actually a very complex subject, especially between couples. Lack of communication in a relationship creates distance and bring problems.

Because when partners don’t communicate enough, they can’t express their feeling to solve the problems. Which is can bring negativity and misunderstanding, and eventually lead to conflicts.

Lack-of-communication-in-a-relationship

Why do relationships fail due to lack of communication?

Let me give you one situation.

Today is your important day, and you’re expecting your partner to give you a call. But he didn’t remember to call you. At the same time, you didn’t want to call or text him for a reminder because you already upset with him.

Meanwhile, your partner assumes that your silence means that everything is fine.

See? Both of you are on the wrong page. You tend to make an assumption than telling your partner your true feeling. This is not okay because it can lead to misunderstanding. Misunderstanding creates a negative feeling, while negative feeling creates a negative reaction. Lastly, it may end up with a breakup.

Importance of communication in relationships

Communicate effectively in a relationship is the key to positive social interaction. After all, humans are social beings, we relate to each other to nourish our mind and soul. Our mind and soul condition correlated with the relationship. A lack of communication will lead to a negative relationship, which is can deplete our minds and souls energy.

In a nutshell, the quality in any relationship basically comes down with the quality of the communication. Learning to communicate effectively in a relationship can reduce stress and conflicts, at the same time, it makes your relationship healthy, happy and successful.

7 Ways to improve communication in a relationship

The good news is, it’s never too late to improve how you communicate with your partner, even after you’ve been married for 20 years. Here is the list that can give you a better idea on how to communicate with your partner.

1- Learn to be an active listener.

Everyone wants to be heard when they talk, it gives you a feeling of connection to one another. Give your partner a chance to talk or voice out what they want to share with you. Whatever the case may be, hear them out. If not you’ll never know the root of the problem.

One of the listening skill technique is called “active listening”. This listening technique is not only acknowledged what your partner said with a nod of your head. But also understand what is being said.

Understanding means that you actually engaged and interested in what your partner communicating (in a proper way, I will discuss more about this below). Don’t just sit silently for the sake of listening, do involve interruptions for clarification or even disagreements.

Ask a question if you don’t understand. Ask something that clearly related to clarifying what’s your partner topic. Before you want to interrupt, be sure to ask your partner permission. If you disagree with the topic or conversation, wait until they finished talking before you expressed your disagreement.

2- Listen to understand, instead of listening to respond.

Most of us didn’t realize that we are usually listening to respond. You are not really listening when you listen to make a response. Why? Because your mind busies thinking about what you need to respond when your partner finishes talking.

You will be more focus to voice out your argument or tell them a story from your side. Most likely you don’t really care about what your partner saying and he/she also will be on the defensive state.

Otherwise, if you do listen to understand what your partner is saying, you will prioritize to hearing what they want to say. This kind of listening that you need, to communicate effectively in your relationship.

3- Ask a question and don’t assume the answer.

When you communicate with your partner, try not to labeling or interpreting them. If you really not sure about something, ask them. Don’t afraid to ask any question, each question can give you better information and clarify what they are telling you.

Give them a chance to talk or explain the situation clearly. An argument usually comes from hidden emotions. Control your emotion and express them in a non-judgmental way.

4- Don’t accuse your partner

If you having any issue with your partner, be conscious and don’t start to blame your partner. Blaming your partner means that you start attacking him/her. Believe me, they will pick up on that and start being defensive, and nothing can be gain if this happens.

5- Use the word “I” rather than “YOU”

Have you ever realize that it’s easy to using “you” when you talk with your partner especially in an argument. As an example, during the argument you will start with:

“You make me do this, do that…”

“You never help me in housework..”

“You didn’t ….”

Instead, you can try to start the conversation with the word “I”, which is to describe your feeling. You’re not criticizing your partner behavior, you just simply share your own emotion and reaction. As an example:

“I feel hurt when…”

“I am sad…”

“I feel like we …”

“I was hurt…”

It actually tackles the same issues in a softer way. By doing this, your partner will be less defensive and hopefully, it’s can improve your relationship.

6- Be patient

It’s sound simple, but it’s actually not that simple. Agree?

When you communicate with your partner, try to give your partner some space for them to share their own opinion. Don’t simply interrupt the conversation. Because when they are not ready to listen, your message will not be heard, regardless of how well you communicate.

Let’s go back to point no. 2, understand what they are trying to say first, then have your turn. You both deserved to be heard.

Plot twist, what should you do if your partner love to interrupt your conversation? Be patient, relax, do not try to over talk that person or triumph over about how you never interrupt. Instead, be courteous and allow them to speak, eventually, they will respond likewise.

If they are not, point out to them that they are interrupting the communication process.

7- Focus on the solution, not the problem.

Every problem is like a big door, and a solution is key to open the door. Find that key, not complain about how big the door can be.

“We cannot solve our problem with the same thinking that created them.” – Albert Einstein

Most of the communication issue occurs is simply because of one or both of them more focused on the problem rather than coming up with the idea on how to solve the problem.

As an example, you have a conversation with your partner to express the fact that they like to wasting money on unnecessary things. If you just complain about the problem and attacking them because of their “bad habit”, you’ll get nowhere.

Try to change it for something like this, communicate your idea for a solution with an attempt. Maybe you can start the conversation:

“Well, perhaps we could try to….”

“What if i did this …, and you did….”

“Would you love to try….”

Softly offer a solution rather than directly ask them “You need to stop wasting money!” are way better. You’re showing him/her that you care about them and your relationship.

Conclusion

As a conclusion, good communication can improve your relationship. It can bring your relationship to a whole new level. BUT, it must go both ways! If you’re the only one who put all the effort to be a good communicator, and your partner doesn’t, it’s simply won’t work.

You need to know when to throw the towel. If your partner was not willing to give an effort to solve the problem, how do you suppose to solve the problem?

things you should never sacrifice

6 Things You Should Never Sacrifice For A Relationship

/0 Comments/in /by
Reading Time: 3 minutes

things you should never sacrifice

1# Your freedom

Freedom is one of the most important things that every one of us possesses. And that is exactly what you should never sacrifice in a relationship. If your partner takes away your freedom, you will feel like a bird in a golden cage who has it all at first glance, but in fact, craves so many things.

So, whatever you do, don’t let anyone take away your freedom because you will never be truly happy in that kind of a relationship.

2# Your spirit

Your spirit is what makes you so special and unique. So why would you ever let anyone take away from you all that makes you so incredibly amazing? Why would you accept to change because of someone else? If he loves you, he will accept you just the way you are and won’t even try to change you.

If you let him change you, he will see that he can and he will go a step further – he will test your boundaries. So, it is up to you to firmly decline all his intentions to mold you into someone who would be perfect for him.

3# Your free time

Your free time is something you should never sacrifice for a relationship. Your loved one will understand that you need to spend some time with your friends, since they were a part of your life before him. He will give you enough space to meet new people and enjoy life.

Only a narcissist will try to wedge a gap between you and your friends so he can abuse you in peace. I am not saying your perfect partner should be someone who will write love paragraphs for you every day, but having a man you can count on to give you the time to be you will be perfectly fine.

4# Your friends

Your friends are the wings that help you achieve your goals and that’s why you should never sacrifice them for anyone. It is okay to spend more time with your loved one, especially if the two of you are in a puppy phase, but don’t forget your friends as well.

They will probably give you enough time to enjoy with your loved one, but don’t neglect them. Make sure that you are there for them as they have been for you. Show them that you will always be present and, no matter what happens, they will try to give you the best advice ever.

5# Your dreams and wishes

We all have some dreams and wishes that we would like to make come true. Well, by having the right partner next to us, one who will support us, every person can make that happen.

But having someone who will want you to sacrifice your biggest dreams is definitely not someone worth being in your life. It is better to cut off a negative partner who holds you back from the things that make you happy than being stuck in a toxic relationship.

6# Your job

Your job is what fulfills you and makes you feel useful. That’s why you should never sacrifice it for your partner, nor let him decide what you will do for a living. You are allowed to do any job that makes you happy and your partner shouldn’t tell you how you should act.

The right person will support you in becoming the best version of yourself; the wrong one will just want to keep you in the house so only he can spend time with you.

That is a huge difference, and if you were able to find the person who really makes you happy, then you are one lucky girl. No matter if he is a sapiophile who is attracted to your intellect or a man who likes the way you look, if he loves you for who you really are, there is no doubt that he is the one.

Do you still remember how happy you’re when you fall in love with your partner? Your day was bright, a smile on your face and you feel like you’re the happiest person on the earth. Everyone feels that way, we thought that he is the one and your relationship will last forever.

Suddenly, things happen and you’re in the middle of a breakup…

Relationships may end for a lot of reasons. It could be because you’re no longer happy with your partner, or you think he’s not good enough for you, or he never really cares about your relationship future.

Whatever the reasons, ending a relationship never been easy. Especially if you already been together for a few years. You have a lot of sweet memories been build together. Also, a lot of love has been shared. They are your partner and you love them, deep into your heart.

how-to-end-a-relationship-with-someone-you-love

That why ending a relationship can be emotionally exhausting. No matter how old are you, no matter how much experiences you had, it’s never been easy to handle a breakup.

However, there is the time ending a relationship with someone you love can be the best decision in the long run. With a proper step, it may cause minimal hurt to your partner and yourself. Here are some tips on how to end a relationship with someone you love.

1- Be clear with your decision

Try to not rush into any decision, especially when you are in a bad mood. Take your time and think. There’s a lot of couples out there who ended a relationship then regret with their decision a few weeks later.

Why? Because most of their decision is based on emotion…

Don’t end a relationship if you’re not sure about it. If you have a doubt, ask yourself what is that doubt. In my opinion, before the breakup, write a list of what you no longer want to be, feel or experience in your relationship. Check again what things you should not sacrifice for a relationship.

Visualize your list, what will happen to you after a breakup? Are you happy? Is that what you are hoping for? Your list can help you to be clear with your decision.

However, if part of you still feels that you can save the relationship then you should talk with your partner about your concerns, rather than simply put an end to the relationship.

Or if you are not sure about your relationship, this article can give you a hint: how to know when to let someone go.

2- Be prepared before you end a relationship

Build up your courage to talk to your partner. To make things easier, think about what you’re going to say in advance. Practice in front of a mirror does help.

Remember the list that you have written before? Elaborate that point to discuss it with your partner. Be detail with your point and work out what is important to you in a relationship.

Be open and discuss directly with your partner. Don’t forget to take your partner opinion into consideration.

Many couples suffer for years and never bring up the problems to their partner. Which is what leads to a breakup. They love to assume things.

As an example:

You end a relationship because you think that is the best decision for your partner. You think that you’re blocking his career path. Or you think that you’re a burden to him. Stop that! It’s not your decision alone, you should discuss it with your partner. He knows better than you about his situation, talk with him.

3- Be respectful and honest to your partner

We never know what’s going to happen in the future. You may end up being together with your partner again. Right?

Breaking up is already painful, not for the person who’s being left behind, but also for the person who’s doing the leaving. So don’t insult them or try to hurt them.

Be honest, kind and respectful as you begin to let your partner go.

But be careful with your ‘detail’. People tend to know why they’re being dumped. You can’t simply tell them:

“You’re terrible in bed”

“You don’t have a future”

It might seem like an honest answer. But, you’re just being rude and ignorant. Instead of attacking him and blaming him for everything, focus on what you want. Changes your words, use “I” in place of “You”.

“I don’t feel like we’re compatible sexually”

“I think we have a different way of viewing our future”

This is a nicer way to express your feeling. You also can keep your partner calm during the conversation. Just make sure you don’t play around and give hope to your partner.

4- Pick the right time and place

Choose your time and place that allow both of you to discuss peacefully with privacy. Pick a time by considering your partner situation. Don’t simply ask for a breakup when your partner is in the middle of a big test or preparing for an important meeting.

Pick a good time for both of you. Friday night is a good example, it gives you and your soon ex-partner the whole weekend to somewhat recover from a breakup. Because there will be a period of heartbreak, sadness, and pain.

Find a less crowd location that has no special meaning for both of you. Never choose your favorite restaurant for a breakup, you may end up not going to that restaurant anymore.

But if you worried about safety, somewhere public might be the best choice.

5- Say it in person

If you’re not happy with the relationship, don’t drag the whole situation. You’re just wasting time. It is okay if you need a time or your partner need time to think about it. But do it after you discuss with your partner.

Openly share what you feel, and discuss about the best solution that you should take for the relationship can be very helpful.

Do it face to face. Don’t rely on text messages if you want to end the relationship. Email, texting or calling might sound easier, but it is not the best option.

A big NO; don’t ever send your friend to deliver the news for you! It’s important to give your partner the respect that he/she deserves. Unless your partner is violence, outburst, and crazy, it may be safer for you to end the relationship at a distance.

6- Look forward

Take your times to recover from heartbreak. Surround yourself with people you love, your best friend or your families member. Fill your time with doing things that you love or do something that can make you happy.

Think about all the other things that you are free to do now. But no need to show it to your ex that you’re happy. If you do it because you want to show something to your ex, you basically still not moving on.

Just do something that you love to do, not do something because of your ex.

This is the time for you to walk out from a relationship without having any ill will with each other. Build up a positive mindset that you’re breakup for a greater good. Don’t regret your decision and move forward.

Man wants to be heroes in women’s eyes, as he likes to feel needed. Hero instinct is known within the Native American. It’s built into their culture as warriorism.

As a warrior, they protect their tribes from enemies and fed their tribes by hunting. Psychologically, it’s about satisfaction, a men desire to feel important. They want to show how useful, strong, and effective he is among his peers.

If you relate this behavior with our modern society nowadays, where wealth and other great accomplishment are gained to show that he is able to shoulder up responsibilities. It’s become preferable and attractive for a man to have this quality.

By doing this. you could be your man deepest passion and priority in his life. His heart will be yours and he’ll do anything just to make you happy.

How To Get Your Man’s Attention.

Hero instinct is a biological drive, just like thirst, hunger, and sex. It’s a man desire to feel important and strong between his own circle. It inspires them to become better and push forward to maintain the status or standard that was created by themselves.

Man’s adores those who admire his courage and effort.

Basically, men fall for women because of ‘how those women make them feel‘.

When a man feels like a hero in a woman’s eyes, he will give his heart and his undying loyalty to her.

Most of the women think they can earn a man appreciation by doing a lot of things for him. But it works backward. The more you appreciate him, the more he will appreciate you. When he appreciates you, he will give more attention to you.

It triggers his ‘hero instinct‘.

This is a few example of ways on how to trigger your man’s hero instinct.

1# Ask for his help

Don’t think that you can do all the things by yourself. Independent women are great but men feel like a dumb guy around her. Most probably she will feel dissatisfied with men’s help because she can do better. Thus, make men feel useless and always doing something wrong.

What you can do is to always ask for his help no matter how trivial the things are. It’s doesn’t make you needy, but it makes you a woman with space for a man.

Ask him to open a tight jar for you. Ask a piece of advice from him whenever you want to make a decision will work too. Ask him to changes your car’s tire because you think he is more expert and knowledgeable. And do not forget to say thank you with a big smile of appreciation.

Unlock Your Man’s Hero Instinct

According to James Bauer, a relationship coach for over 12 years. He shared that during his work in these industries, when he coached men, he heard over and over again that they (men) wanted to feel that they were important and special to their woman.

In other words, they wanted to feel like their hero.

It’s something that men’s need in order to feel women’s love.

Men adore those who admire his hard work or see him as Superman, a dependable man in all things.

James also believed that, no matter how in love that man is if the women he’s with doesn’t bring out his hero instinct, he’ll feel like something is missing.

So if you know how to tackle your man’s hero instinct, you can take a positive action to influence your man’s emotion and bringing him closer to you.

Here, you may need to check what James Bauer discovers about hero instinct.

James technique can be very helpful if you’re facing this type of problem:

  • You feel like you’re just a placeholder
  • You think a lot about him, but he only thinks of himself
  • He says he loves you but isn’t in love with you
  • Why won’t he commit to you?
  • Why does he so quiet? What is he really thinking?
  • Why does he start ignoring you?
  • Does he really love you? Or he just wants to be alone?
  • It’s already over, but you want him back.

His guide helps women to understand specific trick and phrase to improve their relationship. He also teaches you how to build attraction and how to understand what your man wants in a relationship.

Here the link for James Bauer technique.

2# Thanks him for every single thing he does

Remember that I’m saying the more you appreciate him, the more he will appreciate you back. The easiest way to show your appreciation is through the word “thank you”.

This simple phrase is very powerful than you could ever realize. Thanks him for every little thing that he does to you.

Did he help you with the chores?

Thank him.

Did he drive you to work?

Thank him.

Did he cook you a meal?

Thank him.

He’s the real hero to you every day, even though you may not see it. Maybe he dropped everything just to help you. Maybe he’s the only one who still believes in you when nobody else won’t. Maybe his advice gives you the courage to make a difficult decision.

We tend to take things for granted, that’s why sometimes we didn’t see the positive value in our partner.

3# Respect is earned not given

Respect comes along with admiration and honor which showed for someone who you think they have good qualities and important. And your man is searching for that.

He works hard to earn your respect. He wants to prove himself that he’s able to that. Don’t take away his purpose. Instead, give him space and opportunity to show his hero instinct. Your main role is to support him.

It’s rare to see a woman who’s can satisfy this emotional need in men. And if you do, you can captivate his heart so that he’ll spend his entire life with you.

Unlock Your Man Attention

The key to unlocking your man attention is NOT in everything you do for him. But it’s about how you RESPOND to everything he does for you.

When you have done everything for him, look after him, and make time for him. In the process, you’re actually taking something away from him. You’re taking away his purpose.

He wants to be your hero, not the other way around.

If his hero instinct is not being met, his attention will wander around until he finds a woman who can give it to him. Maybe only one from a thousand women who are known to do this instinctively. And they usually rise to unbelievable levels of influence and fame.

Trust me, when you know the secret of man’s hero instinct, you will be shocked with the result from the man you love. And if you’re interested to learn more about the secret of man’s hero instinct, I recommend you check out this link.

Money is a familiar source of nasty arguments among many couples. Typically, each couple has arguments about finances on their own pattern. Nevertheless, most of the time, money isn’t the real problem. Yet, having different financial values and behaviors is actually a real problem.

This article will guide with the main necessary steps for couples to look at the problem from a different point of view. Besides, I will explain how to have a more conducive conversation about finances and money issues in a relationship.

Money and Relationships

money and relationships

Make a plan together and take each other’s feelings into thought.

Don’t let money continue giving you a negative effect on your relationship. Keep your financial values as first and look back to them whenever you make a decision with your priorities. Most important, take each other’s feelings into consideration.

Work on the budget together.

Practice to not be financial nerds and don’t keep the money details all to yourself. When you don’t have a plan, you’re going to be depressed and that takes all the fun. And if you’re the smothered partner, don’t just nod your head all the time.

You have to vote yes or no in the situation of budget meetings in your relationship.  In that case, giving feedback, comments, and encouragement will adjust your budget each month as things change.

Especially if you’re a married couple. The most common financial problem is after the childbirth. You will spend a lot of money on the diapers, baby clothes, breast pump and more. So for the preparations, work on the budget before the baby born.

Discuss with your spouse on how to manage your expense, start to save money earlier, prepare what to buy list for your baby and create a separate account.

Equality, are one of the most important things in a relationship.

“Nevertheless, it’s vital that both make an effort to contribute to the running of the house with peace”, says Dr. Berman. Get to know where each person does his or her fair share of housework, take charge of paying the bills, make a decision among needs and wants of both and make a fair contribution to the running of a home. When opinions differ, sit with that conflict rather than immediately trying to smooth things over.

The ultimate symbol of a financial union for many couples is a joint bank account. For example, it can be used for taking shared responsibility for monthly expenses or establishing joint savings goals.

One of the main advantages of this way is that there’s a smaller chance of confronting financial issues. Because both of you can see the money flow in and out on that account. Somehow, this technique doesn’t mean it’s a practice that works for all couples.

Conclusion

Finally, we can’t deny that manage money issues in a relationship is challenging. But a financial crisis doesn’t mean you should live your life without enjoyments. Communicate respectfully and honestly with your partner.

And if your relationship is healthy, you have every chance of reaching accommodate on each other’s values and beliefs. Manage your differences by starting these steps and make a healthy living life.

Solely love will ensure you a passionate relationship but it does not assure you a healthy and long term relationship. Besides, to love each other dearly, you need to have a strong basis that will become a baseline in your relationship, which is one of them is respect.

Respect come along with admiration and honor which showed for someone who you think they have good qualities as well as important. It is earned and not given. How crucial respects in your relationship?

Absolutely important, even love should not be the reason to tolerate disrespect. Girls need to know what’s their partner desire in relationships. Here are some tips on how to respect your partner.

the key to strengthen your relationship

  • Accept who they are

You need to accept the fact that you are living with a ‘stranger’. It means that your partner coming from a different background, family, education or culture. So they have their own style, behavior, and preference that might be totally different from yours.

Instead of arguing over a toothpaste that needs to be squeezed from the bottom or middle, you need to be mentally prepared for the differences between you and your partner and discuss it to achieve an agreement from both parties.

  • Be considerate and tolerate

Lower your ego and find a solution towards every problem in your relationship. It doesn’t matter who is right or wrong or who’s always right or wrong, the most important thing is that you and your partner were happy with the solution.

If you love your ego and always want to win in an argument, your partner may be exhausted from it. Consider your partner feeling, idea or decision, do not let your desire dominate everything.

  • Don’t compare

The comparison can lead to the bitterness of relationship and loss of respect towards your partner. For instance, if you’re a woman with a nice job and financially stable, you tend to think that you are more powerful, brilliant and capable compare to your partner.

As a result, you might feel that you didn’t respect him because you think you’re better than him. And you might think that you can make a better decision. The fact is, no matter how great you are, it’s better to ask your partner opinions.

  • Do not make any decision by yourself

No matter a big or small decision you’re going to make, if it involves your partner, do ask them. A relationship needs teamwork. This is because you might miss something about your loved one.

As an example, you want to buy a cat but your partner allergic to it, or you prefer a cup of coffee for breakfast but your partner like heavy meals due to many workloads. These petty things if accumulating might end up to quarrel.

  • Be careful with your words and irritate tones

There is one quote state that “Harsh words can hurt a person more than physical pain”. Although it’s just a word, it may remain scar towards someone more than you think. Therefore, be careful of what you’re going to say despite how angry you are.

Hurtful words may be forgiven but not forgotten. Control your tones and use gentle words to express your dissatisfaction, it shows that you still respect them. It is also easier for them to accept what you are saying. Just taste your own words first before you spit them out.

Good communication skill plays an important role in this situation. If you have a bad experience with your communication and irritate tones, you may need to learn how to improve your communication skill in a relationship.

  • Give your full attention

People like to have attention as they feel needed and important. Whenever your partner tells you about how bad their day, try to give attention and be a good listener. Always try to respond towards their request, desire, as well as their need in a timely fashion.
