The Wall of Insecurity
“Because no matter what you say, you’re never gonna break through the wall that is a person’s own insecurities. So the best you can do is give them the validation they want when they’re feeling insecure.” It takes work to change how a person thinks about themselves. Sometimes, the best you can do is tell them what they need to hear when they feel unsure.The Toll of Constant Reassurance
“I have been dealing with this with my bf… I have felt physically sick for over a year now. I wish I knew of a solution.” This person has been working hard to make their partner feel better. But it’s making them feel sick. It’s a reminder that taking care of others can sometimes hurt us.The Happy Spouse Approach
“When I got married, my father-in-law told me, ‘Happy wife, happy life,’ I said Nah. Happy spouse, happy house. I’m not responsible for your happiness; I’m responsible for doing my best to foster an environment where we can both be happy.” This person wants to work on making both partners happy. They don’t want just to make their wife happy. They believe in doing their part to make their home a place where both can feel joy.Scarcity Mindset and Relationships
“The reason is because men have a scarcity mindset with women. They think they need to hold on to the one they have because they won’t find another.” This quote suggests that some men fear they won’t find another woman if they lose their current one. This can make them do more to keep her happy.Validation is Key
“To put it bluntly, if telling your girlfriend that you love her or that she’s pretty is too much effort, a relationship isn’t for you. Validation is a part of healthy relationships.” This person believes that making your partner feel loved and wanted is a big part of being in a relationship. If that’s too hard for you, then maybe relationships aren’t your thing.Confidence Over Constant Validation
“I like confident women who know their worth and don’t need me to constantly validate every insecurity every time.” Some people prefer partners who are confident and don’t need constant reassurance. It’s not just about being good-looking or nice; it’s also about believing in yourself.Balance in Early Dating
“That being said, early dating? Women aren’t as into relations as men are. If they don’t feel like you find them beautiful and desirable, they probably won’t feel any desire.” During the early stages of dating, making your partner feel attractive and wanted can help spark their interest. It can be a way to balance out the dating game.Seeking Mutual Benefit
“If we don’t actively make each others’ lives better, it’s not worth it. That’s the goal and the only goal, to improve your partner’s life, and it needs to be reciprocated.” A good relationship is about making each other’s lives better. It’s not about winning a prize or earning something; it’s about improving each other’s lives together.Societal Pressures and Aging
“Women are taught by society that aging and change make them less desirable… It’s not surprising that it’s been normalized because of the societal pressures to always maintain a certain standard.” Society can put a lot of pressure on women to stay young and attractive. This can lead to feelings of insecurity and the need for more reassurance.Emotional vs. Logical Arguments
“Because men have learned that you can’t logic her out of a position that she emotioned her way into.” This quote suggests that men and women might argue in different ways. If a woman is upset about something, using logic might not always help.Debunking the ‘Happy Wife‘ Myth
“‘Happy wife, happy life’ is one of the biggest crocks of garbage.” The phrase ‘happy wife, happy life’ isn’t for everyone. Some people believe it’s more important to make everyone in the relationship happy instead of focusing on one person.The Al Bundy Perspective
“Don’t try to understand women. Women understand women, and they hate each other.” This quote suggests that understanding women can be hard, even for other women. But that’s not always the case.Break Up or Appease
“Most of the advice we give is to break up with your dysfunctional partner… Life is too short to appease a bad person.” This person believes that if you’re unhappy with your partner, it might be better to leave them. Life’s too short to waste on making others happy at your own expense.Reassurance in Moderation
“Some people like hearing it. It’s entirely another matter if it’s every day, every moment sort of thing.” Giving reassurance can be good, but too much of it can be overwhelming. It’s about finding the right balance.Differences Between Men and Women
“Simply put, it is because women are not men. Men like it direct, blunt, straight to the point, and understand that you have to work to get results. Women do not. If they feel a certain way, that’s game over.” This person thinks that men and women are different. They believe men like to be direct and to the point, while women are more guided by their feelings.Seeking Mutual Effort
“It’s become the standard; the phrase ‘happy wife, happy life,’ makes me sick… I’m looking for someone who wants to give me the best life and the best of them, as much as I want to give them the best life and the best of me.” This quote is about wanting to find a partner as dedicated to you as you are to them. It’s about wanting a relationship that is balanced and fair.Choosing Your Battles Wisely
“Because if you want peace in your life, it’s necessary… So pick your battles & appease her on the small things and only put your foot down when absolutely necessary.” Choosing your battles wisely can help keep peace in your relationship. It’s not always about winning every argument; sometimes, it’s about keeping the peace.Empathy Over Logic
“Why do you cradle a crying baby or comfort a scared pet? Shouldn’t you just yell that they’re being unreasonable and get on with your life?” This quote reminds us that people, like babies or pets, need comfort and understanding. Sometimes, it’s not about being right but about being kind.THE HIDDEN DESIRES OF MEN: 10 THINGS MEN SECRETLY CRAVE IN A WIFE BUT DON’T HAVE THE COURAGE TO ADMIT
