Most of these things apply to both genders, but they are mostly for the women who love men who are either in a relationship or are preparing for one in the future. They can also help you rethink your current choices.
- If a man really wants you, nothing can keep him away.
- If he doesn’t want you, nothing can make him stay.
- Stop making excuses for a man and his behaviour. Likewise, don’t make excuses for your own bad behaviour. Take action, make a change, and create the life you deserve
- Allow your intuition to save you from heartache. Trust and value your feminine instincts.
- Stop trying to change yourself for a relationship that’s not meant to be. And don’t try to change him either, it just doesn’t work. The only person you can change is yourself.
- Slower is better. Some of the greatest love stories of all time took years to develop.
- Never live your life for a man before you find what makes you truly happy.
- If the relationship ended because he was not treating you as you deserve, then don’t end as friends. A friend shouldn’t mistreat you.
- Don’t settle for less. If you feel he’s using you to catch a cruise, then he probably is.
- Don’t stay because you think ‘it will get better.’ You’ll be mad at yourself a year later for staying when things are not better.
- The only person you can control in a relationship is you.
- Avoid men who have lots of children with different women.
- Always have your own set of friends separate from his.
- Maintain boundaries in how a guy treats you; if something bothers you, speak up.
- Be aware that healthy relationships are built on trust, and that trust takes time to develop. It may be unwise to share too much of yourself and about yourself too quickly.
Look out for part two of this because I feel there are more things I should share with the women reading this so be ready for the article.
