Keeping a man faithful is not as difficult as it may appear at
first. For starters, most men WANT to be true to their spouses, but
for that extra boost to ensure fidelity, try these steps.
Steps
- Respect him. Without fail this is the number
one thing that men need and want from their girlfriends.
- Remind him everyday as to why he's with you.
In other words, take time to make him feel special as if he's the
only one in your life.
- Validate your man on a daily basis. Whether he
works outside of the house or is a stay-at-home dad, your man
still needs to feel like a man. You know he is, make sure he knows
it as well.
- Appreciate all the things he does for you. It
doesn't matter whether those things are big or small, they are
worth, at the least, a thank you.
- Spice it up every once in a while. Tell him
your fantasies, listen to his. Don't be afraid to experiment.
- Laugh. Laugh often, but with him, not at him.
Tell him a joke that you think he might like or clip out comics
from the newspaper and place them on the fridge.
- Listen first, and then talk. Let him finish
what he has to say before you interrupt. Ask questions if you're
not sure about what he said.
- Be his biggest supporter! Men don't like to
admit it, but they need reassurances too. and by showing him that
you support him and are there with him through day to day life will
ensure that he doesn't have a need that someone else will happily
fill for him.
- Don't lose your own self respect. Stop blaming
yourself and understand that some things are beyond your
control.
Tips
- Patience is key. Your man may not respond immediately to
any of these techniques right away as change is difficult to both
acknowledge and accept, eventually though, he will come
around.
- Think before you gripe. What you may perceive as venting, just
may come across as bitching to him which may cause him not to
listen when you have a real complaint.
- Apologize with caution. Most (but not all) women have a
tendency to over-apologize. If this is you, don't say "sorry"
unless you really did something wrong and don't say it if you don't
mean it.
Warnings
- If you are getting abused by him in any way, don't remain
silent. Do something about it - tell your best friend/a person you
trust or call the police.
