How to Turn a Bad Relationship Around Overnight

If you are having relationship trouble with your husband or boyfriend, I'd like to offer a suggestion that will begin to change the dynamics of your relationship overnight.

Respect Him

Women hate to hear that because they automatically say that he doesn't deserve respect because he's a deadbeat, irresponsible jerk! What you are saying may be true, but if you don't learn this one little secret you will always have trouble with men. If you listen for a second to the man or men in your life you will hear him always complaining about not getting respect. You are not giving it to him, the boss is not giving it to him, and society is not giving it to him. He may not use the words quite like Rodney Dangerfield did, "I gets no respect around here!", but he is saying it in so many other words.

You see men are naturally hunters and show-offs. It starts when they are little boys showing off for their mothers, little girls, and peers. They want to be seen as "the man" who is invincible and able to leap over (or jump off) buildings in a single bound. This is a part of their nature so they naturally look for admiration and respect.

If you are currently in a relationship, just ask him what he wants more than anything and he will likely tell you that it's respect. Ask him how you can give him respect then tell him that you will try, and then actually try. You can start off with small things for practice. For example, you can stop arguing with him. Just stop. You don't have to dispute everything he says even if you think it's wrong. You don't have to act like a dummy but you can simply accept what he says with a smile. If he asks your opinion then tell him how you feel about it. If he doesn't, just drop it.

Another thing you can do is watch your facial expressions. They say a lot more than words, which is why I say to accept what he says with a smile. Men love to see their partners smile or have a pleasant look on their faces. The man feels that everything is okay and he's the reason. He may not be the actual reason but let him think that, knowing that you are benefitting more than he is.

When you start to respect him and he sees that you are genuine he will want to please you and make you happy. It's a natural response. He really can't help it. He will want to do little things for you and he will respond more positively to your request now than when he felt disrespected.

Note: This advice is only for women who are dating or married to normal and average men. If you are in an abusive relationship this may not help you. You should get out as quickly as possible. If you are being physically, sexually, or verbally abused please get help. If you choose to use the relationship tactic above you do so at your own risk. Men who are emotionally unstable are not likely to respond positively to this relationship tactic in a way that will benefit you.
