“A man does not leave his partner because she’s getting old or ‘soft’.”
The speaker was an attractive woman. And when I heard her opening line, I had to stop and listen. Had it been a guy or comedian, I would have kept going.
She stated that men don’t leave for a younger woman because the he’s noticed a few grey hairs or that she’s getting “soft” (her word, not mine). “Soft” meant the lady had gained a few pounds.
The reason the man leaves for another woman is how she treats him.
• She complains he doesn’t do enough.
• Her questions frequently attack his masculinity.
• She belittles him in front of others.
• Physical intimacy is used for manipulation.
Does she treat him with respect? Does she build him up, or tear him down?
Now guys, let me assure you, this is a two-way street. When you eliminate infidelity and money, women often leave their man because of how he treats her.
• Lack of attention and emotional disconnection.
• Feeling unappreciated or taken for granted.
• Trust issues (abuse)
• Continuing lack of emotional connection or emotional intimacy.
One of the most important things in your relationship is how you treat your partner.
Disrespect them and distance opens between you. Continue with ill-treatment, and a rift forms. Ultimately it becomes an unrecoverable chasm.
Don’t let this happen to you.
If you sense your partner withdrawing, honestly examine how you treat him/her. Do you need to change how you treat them? If yes, change your ways. See her/him as a precious part of your life. Respect them in private and in public. And romance your love. Create Romantic Moments that let your love know you value them as a person and as your partner. Show him/her how important they are to you.
A little respect, a little romance can bring healing to your relationship.
With this in mind, what will your next Romantic Moment look like?
