7 Things You Should Be Comfortable Doing In Front Of Your Man

Getting mad (at him)

You shouldn’t fear letting your man know when he’s upset you. So many women are afraid to bring up an issue because the guy either punishes them by saying, “You’re being dramatic” (if he doesn’t just straight up leave) or he completely goes on the defensive, making the issue ten times worse. Women can get pushed into a place of never expressing their thoughts about the relationship, for fear that it will make them more distant from their man, when that type of communication should make them closer.

    I’m sure by now, someone has mentioned this. I just wasn’t going to spend any more time reading everyone’s comments. True, everything written in this article is really based on your personality. I for example have noticed that I have not really been my true head strong self around others, and my significant other. I already know why and I am working on it. Moving on, the reason why I am writing is to answer the hugging question. I am naturally a touchy person, it took me a while not to hug everyone one I see. Yet I still hug ALL of my friends (male and females) every now and then regardless of whose around. My significant other is totally aware of this and was followed with a confirmation when I hugged one my friends for a long time (you know, that teddy bear hug). Hell I have a friend that I go to, just for hugs (by they way, they so hard to find). They are ok with that, the problem arises when you don’t mention this ahead of time or when some new person that you never mentioned before pops up in hugs you…yes they will be hurt (pissed/angry/ etc). So it goes both ways, I had an ex who had tons of female friends, I was fine with it. But I did warn him about the ones who wanted to be more than just friends, he didn’t believe me until after the fact. So other point is, TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS (this goes for both men and women). If you see them hugging someone like a friend would, then why would you be jealous… it just a hug. If its a teddy bear hug. And if it really irks/ bothers you that much, ask who that person was and talk about how you feel about it. YES FEEL about it. Jealousy is nothing but emotions gone awry.

    Physical closeness is a human need, but not from EVERYONE! This is where so many problems start. Boundaries are essential.

    I read your post carefully and i think the all things are very useful for the girls. With the help of it they can not face any problem with the man in sex time.

    This list is exactly what you should not do if you want to keep your man. Don’t come of as angry/bitter/cynical (to him or others). Don’t let your emotions get away from you (for your own mental stability and objectivity). Don’t talk to him about what you think is wrong with you (we are our own worst critics and most of the things that you obsess about, he probably hasn’t noticed, so why bring it to his attention. If it’s really that big of a deal don’t talk about — be about it. Fix it.). Don’t give up the up-keep (you know you want your man to put forth the effort to keep things tight, so why shouldn’t you? Whether we like it or not, men are visual creatures and appreciate a woman who keeps herself looking right.) Why would you want anybody to know when you have the BG’s?!?!?! Don’t be anything over politely physical with the opposite sex. It shows respect and concern for your man and his feelings when you refrain from “kissing on the cheek” or intimate hugs with other men. If you want the security and stability of a relationship, it’s only natural that you give up some of the “urges” that are permissible to satisfy in single life.

    I agree with a few of them, but surely only YOU can decide what you find comfortable and what you  don’t? There’s nothing you should do infront of your man, and if I’m real honest, there’s a few things included in this article that I would strongly advise NOT to do.

    These are pretty good. As a brother, I co-sign with what the author is urging. Another one is, don’t obsess about your hair to the point where you can’t: go outside in the drizzle, go for a jog, have hot sweaty relations, walk outside due to humidity. We really don’t care that much about your hair. Only comes to focus when you constantly talk about its shortcomings. We down with you on good and bad hair days.

    The last part is totally WRONG. I’m a girl in my early 20s, and call me old-fashioned, but if/when I get in a relationship/married, I NOR MY SIGNIFICANT OTHER will be “getting affectionate” with any friends of the opposite sex. It’s not about jealousy, it’s about respect, and putting your hands, body or lips on anyone except your significant amounts to disrespect and cheating. As for the other stuff, well, it really comes down to your personality as to whether you’re going to “itchbay out,” but I don’t like the idea that being assertive or not allowing people to walk all over you is being conflated with being a b/tch. We really need to do away with that stereotype; it’s not always about cussing someone out or getting “ghetto.” Also, I’m assuming that this article is for people who aren’t married or who aren’t at the point where being comfortable with each other is natural and doesn’t need to be coached from a checklist. I think it’s rather counter-intuitive to preach comfortability around someone and to do x, y and z if you haven’t allowed the relationship to naturally progress where you have real knowledge about the person and thus clues on how to navigate various situations. I don’t think you can read an article or a how-to-guide, since every person and relationship is different and you only run the risk of screwing yourself over by following some prepackaged, irrelevant advice. I don’t even have a boyfriend, but I say do what works for the two of you, and if you don’t know what works–try communicating, giving it time and figure it out.

    @ looking unkept. My aunt goes to bed with make up on and puts in a hair piece that looks like “bed hair.” *smh* Her husband is long asleep or at work when she goes to bed. But if she likes it, I love it.

      Doesn’t sound healthy. If you can’t be real with your husband, then, aside from yourself, with whom CAN you be real?

    Here’s some good advice. Never take your tampon out in front of your man, particularly in public, like at dinner, or concert.
