Are You Neglecting Your Partner?

Men are the most guilty of this. Its possible to go about your routine and not be aware you wife or husband is looking for attention. I am not talking about just sex either. In this article I hope to show some pitfalls that people allow in their relationship.

Being comfortable

Men seem to allow this to happen to themselves more often than the women does. Its easy to become comfortable in your relationship. Everyone knows that relationships take work. You could be guilty of neglecting your wife or husband because you have grown comfortable. When we think everything is fine we don't try very hard to keep the relationship hot.

Putting the children first

Women are most of the time guilty of this one. Once they have kids they seem to replace the romance with their husband and throw all their energies into their children. It very subtle and before you know it the husband feels left out and neglected. He may even mention it in an argument to the affect " You care about those kids more than you do me." A women can very easily replace her husband with her children if she is not careful.

Putting your job first

This one the husband is the most guilty of. He can become a workaholic until his family is put on the back burner. We know he needs to work and this is usually where he fills most fulfilled. It is real easy for him to substitute his job for his family. He justifies it by saying he provides for the family and all their needs. However, most women just don't want things they want their husband and there is no replacement that will ever satisfy.

Close friendships

The third leading cause of divorce is third party interference. Whether it be in-laws, out-laws, or close friendships. Everyone needs friends but we must be careful that we don't neglect our partners for those close friend relationships. Too many marriages of have been damaged do to well meaning friends. Be careful of friends who tear down your spouse in front of you. They are trying to drive a wedge between you and your spouse. This can happen whether they are the same sex or opposite. These are not really friends at all that would try to damage your marriage. In every case those who are attempting to do so have an alterer motive.

Guard your relationship and put your partner first. When the kids are gone and friends go you still have your spouse. In most cases he or she is the best friend you will ever have.
