Heres how guys lose a woman they like. In a nutshell:
Problems come
He doesn't see it coming
He eventually realises something is off. Either she says it or
He tries to fix it
He can't fix it
Then she leaves
When there is friction, when she's not happy, before you open your mouth, remember you are saying this because what you are saying is in full alignment with how she is feeling, even if it means you are 100% wrong. Remember, you cannot win a conversation when the other side thinks you don't understand them.
Talk about how she feels instead of focusing on what you want.
Talk about how she feels instead of focusing on fixing the issue.
Talk about how she feels and how you understand what she feels.
This needs emotional intelligence. Meaning:
You know what you feel, why you feel it, and what you should do with it.
You know what SHE feels, why she feels it, and what you should do with it.
Don't say 1 word out of anger, anxiety, fear, sadness, jealousy, or being butthurt.
Listen instead of defending yourself or correcting her or justifying what happened.
Yes yes yes, validate her emotions.
This makes the problems go away, makes her like you, trust you, and move on from the issue.
If you don't do this, she will feel emotionally unsafe, she will feel distant and bring drama, crying, fights, etc. and after that look for a guy who understands her.
I am not gonna tell you if this is the right thing to do or not, that's up to you to decide. I am telling you this is what works with her.
