These thoughts come from my husband, who dated many before settling with me.
The small things we do might make our partners feel less appreciated, even if we don’t realize it. This article will guide you through the delicate parts of bonding with someone. It talks about how certain words or actions might turn men off. It explains why you might still feel lonely and disconnected even when you try your best.
This explanation aims to shed light on the nuances of relationships, using straightforward language and engaging storytelling to make the concepts accessible.
Are you ready? Ok, let’s get started
Suffocate them with your constant presence and attention
Being around someone always and giving them a lot of attention might feel like showing a lot of love. But it often doesn’t work out well. It can make someone feel less unique and make them want some space.
Think about it like being in the spotlight all the time. That can feel too intense.
That’s how guys might feel when they get too much attention. They might start to see you differently, in a less positive way.
Holding on too tight or showing that you’re worried about losing them might push them away.
The truth is everyone needs time to themselves. It’s good to have moments when you’re apart. These times make you miss each other more.
So, if you’ve been trying too hard to be noticed and not giving space, the solution is simple:
Don’t give him space.
Stick close and watch as the magic of missing and longing fades away, leaving a trail of loneliness and a relationship gasping for air.
Neglect your own life.
When you make your whole world about your partner, your relationship can feel different in a way you might not like. Just like anyone else, guys like it when their partners have their things going on – like hobbies and interests that are just theirs.
It can be too much for him if you start to do everything he does, like his hobbies and interests, and hanging out with his friends all the time.
It’s not just about giving him space. You need to have your own space, too, where you can keep learning, growing, and doing things by yourself.
What makes you special and exciting is being yourself. If you forget that, your relationship might lose excitement because being too clingy can make you want to pull away, even if you didn’t mean to.
You should keep a good balance so your life isn’t all about him. This balance makes your relationship better and more fun. It’s good for you both.
Drop your plans for them.
Always being there, ready to pick up the phone or cancel your plans immediately, might feel like you’re showing much love and commitment.
But this kind of always-on call can make your partner expect you to always be there without valuing your time.
Instead of feeling special, you might deal with last-minute plan changes or cancellations. That’s not what you’re looking for.
Being too ready to help can lead to your partner seeing your presence as something usual, not something that makes them happy or excited.
This could even make them want to spend less time with you. Being too available might not be the best way to create a strong, respectful relationship.
Always agree with him.
If you want to keep the peace, agreeing with him on everything might seem easy. But this can make your relationship dull and unfulfilling.
Sometimes having disagreements is a good thing.
Both people should feel free to speak their minds in a good relationship. If you always agree with someone, it might seem like you’re just trying to avoid arguments, but it can also be insincere.
Having different opinions and views helps keep a relationship exciting. It’s all about finding the right balance.
Having your thoughts doesn’t mean you can’t have a good relationship; it means that each of you brings something special to the table, making your bond more robust and fascinating.
Don’t be scared to share your true thoughts. Being open and honest with each other is key to creating a deep connection and keeping the relationship vibrant and engaging.
