When women try to be the man in the relationship

Image
Before diving into this topic, it's important to acknowledge that gender roles and expectations are largely societal constructs and that there is no one "right" way for a relationship to look or function. However, it's also important to recognize that many people have deeply ingrained beliefs about what it means to be a man or a woman in a relationship and that when those expectations are not met, it can lead to feelings of confusion and even betrayal. With that said, let's explore why some men might feel betrayed when women try to take on a more traditionally masculine role in a relationship. It's not uncommon for men to feel a sense of betrayal when women try to take on traditionally masculine roles in relationships. This can manifest in various ways, from feeling emasculated to feeling like their partner is trying to control them. But why does this happen? One reason is rooted in societal expectations and gender roles. For many generations, men were expect...

Will Love Once again

Image
A heart once full of love and life, Now shattered by painful strife. A man who loved with all his heart Now left alone, torn apart. His once happy home, now a place of pain, A broken heart, a shattered chain.  The vows they took, now broken in two, Leaving him lost, not knowing what to do. The memories of the past, now haunt his dreams, A love that was once pure, now torn at the seams.  The emptiness he feels, deep in his soul, A pain that only time can console. The nights are long, the days are cold, His broken heart, a story untold.  He walks alone, with tears in his eyes, Wondering how he'll ever survive. But deep within, he finds the strength, To pick himself up, and go to any length.  He knows he deserves a love that's true, And someday, he'll find it too. For even though his heart is broken, He'll rise again, a love unspoken.  And though his past may have caused him pain, He'll find love and happiness once ...

When she says,"I need space"

Image
  Today, we stay in a society where everything is more hidden than visible. Even in the most important relationship, people hide things. I am talking about long-term relationships;i.e- Marriage. One of the most common terminologies I have heard being used is, 'I need space". Now the reason why they say the partner wanted space was because of some depression they have been going through or some mid-life crisis. Another is, I want to myself as I cannot think what I want. Or on the flip side, you think she is non-committal and is not ready for a long-term relationship.  But these things are said because she has decided to part ways. What if I tell you, none of the above is the real reason why she wants to part ways. The problems are actually much deeper but in actuality very simple to resolve than you think. I will try and cover points such as what she won't tell you and what she can't tell you.  If you go through these modern sayings instead then it will actually rob you...

How to be consistent in Relationships

Image
  The relationship-building exercise is a pretty tedious exercise and yes I am pretty well aware of the same. But this entire exercise consists of one thing which at times, I have also realised that I have stopped being. The word is Consistent.  During my trauma relationship, I kind of changed as a person. The pressure was so immense to do things right that in the process of doing something new to make her happy, I forgot the basics. Being consistent. It's not that I am blaming this on her. But the level of chaos was so much in my head that I actually went down the drain. She, if she had been a better human would have seen and helped me. Unfortunately, that was not the case. So, I started becoming more and more and more with each passing day.  I would say things and forget. I would commit to things and then flake out. I stopped being initiative and started to forget or should I say never wanted to remember any birthdays. I felt I am over-busy and overwhelmed all the time....
