There’s no perfect man in a relationship but as a man, never do these hurtful things to a woman
1. Ignore her feelings
Your girlfriend is your best friend, confidant, and the love of your life. She isn’t a blank wall you can talk to whenever you feel like it. She is a human being and her thoughts and feelings matter.
Each relationship is a two-way street and it’s not always about you. Respect her and her opinions, listen to her, and never ever ignore her feelings nor discount them as being irrational.
2. ᴄʜᴇᴀᴛ on her
You should never ᴄʜᴇᴀᴛ on your lady love. You could count off every excuse in the book but it will never justify this horrible action. Be responsible enough to secure yourself before going into a relationship.
3. Hurt her heart
A true man never hurts his woman, physically, emotionally, or mentally. He would never dare to lay a hand on her skin, spat a hurtful word at her, or play mean tricks with her feelings. Unfortunately, there are a lot of men who are like this, so don’t be one.
If you find yourself having a short temper during fights, then practice your patience by counting to ten, shutting your mouth, or asking for some personal time.
4. Lie to her face
Relationships are built on trust and transparency with no room for lies. Never lie about the little things because if you can do this, it would be much easier for you to lie about the big things.
It’s acceptable to make mistakes at first, but if you keep repeating them and apologizing for the same things over and over again, then it’s a different story.
5. Be unsupportive
There isn’t an excuse in any book that would account for missed anniversary dinners, unattended birthday parties, or unanswered phone calls. As a boyfriend, you are supposed to be her number one fan.
When you decide to be in a relationship, you agree to be there during the important moments. No matter how mundane the event might be for you. You should hold her hand and make her feel important.
6. Treat her as an option
Many people date for fun, but oftentimes, this kind of approach will leave a string of broken hearts. If you decide to be in a committed and loving relationship, then obviously you can’t treat your girlfriend as just another option.
You can’t go and meet other women and then come back to her when they drop you. You can’t spend time with her after asking everybody else and knowing that nobody else is available. You can never ever make her feel as if she’s just a choice.
7. Degrade her as a person
This is an act that many people do and they oftentimes do this subconsciously or without being aware of it at all. Degrading your girlfriend can come in different ways. If you make fun of her dreams, nitpick on her actions, or insult her personality, you are already degrading her.
