The greatest mistake I have seen women done in relationships that eventually drain the romance, desire, and fun out of their relationship is to mother their man and treat him like a child.

Don't get me wrong!

There is nothing bad in treating or pampering a man but truth is, it is the fundamental reason that men end up resenting and eventually rebelling against women, and a sure fire way to kill a happy love life.

The point is, the more you treat your man like a boy, the more he will act like one and it will drive you both crazy.

And How Exactly Does a Woman Know She Is a Victim Already?

1: When you start thinking that you're responsible for everything – what he eats, how he takes his vitamins, wears his clothes, cares for his things, manages appointments etc.., in other-words, you start to think you know what`s better for him and become his keeper.

2: When you automatically start making your man an extension of yourself : Stains on his shirt affect your self-image. Feeling that everything your man does is a reflection of you and you become over nurturing and try to fix him or his ways.

3: When you start reminding him or making lists of things he needs to do on his own.

4: Scolding him as if he is a child and giving him the “I told you so” attitude to prove you were right.

5: Telling him what to do or suggesting “improvements” when he doesn't ask for help

If you find yourself in all or most of the item listed above, of a truth, you're secretly KILLING the passion that hold your relationship. No man will tell you how exactly these things makes him feel. They're all bad for business.

So, what's the SOLUTION?

Set non-negotiable rules for yourself to prevent overstepping your boundaries.

NOTE THIS:

If you are convinced you need to change the man you're dating; then that's your warning sign to get out of the relationship because he is not the “one” for you.

Beware:

Men often marry women who display “mother” characteristics because they want a caregiver who will assume responsibility for every detail in the household, only to look outside of their marriage to satisfy their sexual needs.

Remember, when you are his “mother”, you are no longer his lover. Every time you cross the healthy boundaries of letting him be his own man, you are compromising your love life. Take a deep breath and courageously remind yourself that he is capable of taking care of himself.
