Begin by understanding that men can get moody, too. Women often like to believe that they have some type of ownership on “moodiness.” The truth is that men can have a bad day every now and then just the same as women can. If your man is angry, upset or even despondent during an afternoon, there may actually be nothing “wrong.” It could just be one of those days.
Realize that a man’s best guy friends are his family. Many women believe that their husband or boyfriend cares more about his friends than he does her. This isn’t the case. A man’s bond with his closest friends is just different and special and one that you can never experience with him. Accept this fact.
Let your man take control of situations (at least) from time to time. First, it’s a natural tendency for a man to want to be in charge. Second, you must also realize that your man truly does want to take care of you. This isn’t because men simply believe that their women are “too weak” to take care of things. Men just like to make everything right for the women in their lives.
Let your man come to you when he has a problem. A common belief many women have is that men don’t like to talk about feeling and emotions. This isn’t necessarily true. Men just need to do so on their own terms. When you constantly bug your husband or boyfriend about this, he will most likely just clam up more. Give him time, and he will talk when he is ready.
Know that men like to be taken care of. This is especially important to remember when your man isn’t feeling his healthiest. Coddle your man from time to time. Even though he may not admit it, your man will love this.
