I’m so tired of this trope.
(DISCLAIMER: These all go both ways but right now, we are discussing this trope specifically)
Let him hang out with his friends.
Let him go out without you.
Let him play his video games.
Let him watch the game/that show you hate.
Let him be a slob sometimes.
Let him have female friends.
Let him go a while without texting you when he’s busy/out with friends/etc.
Let him flirt with you and take his compliments.
Let him touch the boobs and booty sometimes. (Boobs and booty are fun!)
Let him show you off a little. Hes proud of you.
Let him have a long day and just relax.
Let him be himself with his friends, even if they are being a little
immature. Don’t call him out for just being a little silly/macho/however
he is with them. He’s having fun. He’s in a different environment. Let
him have fun.
Don’t embarass him in front of people.
Don’t get on him for every little thing and every little mistake.
Don’t treat him like a child/like he’s dumb.
Don’t force him to do things he doesn’t want to do constantly. Compromise! It’s all about compromise.
Don’t expect him to pull all the weight. Equal partnerships are how it should be.
Take care of him when he’s sick.
Take his opinions into account.
Compliment him.
Make him feel special.
He needs love too and he is grown ass man, let him be himself and
respect him. Let him live and have his own life/sense of self outside of
you.
Don't hit him.
Love and respect goes both ways and you both deserve it.
