Mistakes Women Make in Relationships

What Women Should Not Do when in a Relationship

Bev Cohen
Some women just don't seem to have much luck when it comes to relationships. They try their best, but still end up being alone. In some cases, women blame the cause for their failure on men. Other times, women just give up. If this description fits your relationship life, you may find information in his article to be helpful.

Many of the mistakes women make seem to be during an argument. Of course, this is a time when all reasonable thoughts and actions just fly away. If the argument gets out of control and the guy ends up leaving, it's probably because he needs time to get this thoughts and emotions together. So, ladies, no constant calling him every 5 minutes. This is called aggravation at its finest. It's a form of nagging, and we all know what a big negative that is. Give him space to work things out in his head. When you have both cooled off and had time to think, you have a better chance of working things out.

Another relationship mistake that women make is acting irrational when upset. You may be burning mad. You may feel betrayed. You may feel hurt. You may think that throwing something is a good way to get your point across. But it is not. It may make for a good story that the guy tells to his friends at a bar, but it doesn't make him want to come back to a crazy person. And the guy knows that if you do it once, you're probably going to do it again. So it is important that you control that reaction right from the start.

Trying to control men is a mistake that women make. If a guy wants to spend time with his buddies and you get upset and ask him why he wouldn't rather spend time with you, it's not going to sit well with him. If a guy wants to attend a poker night twice a month and you don't know how to play poker, let him go. Women have many ways of trying to control men. They do it by getting mad, pouting, crying, threatening, etc. These are signs of insecurity and will raise a red flag in men. Most men prefer strong, independent women over women whose insecurities flair whenever the guy's plans don't include them. Remember, absence makes the heart grow fonder. And trusting your guy enough to let go every now and then will go far in terms of building a long-term, healthy relationship.
