He's acting ... differently, but you just can't put your finger on why. Then, his cell phone rings in in the middle of the night ... and he doesn't have a good explanation. Is he cheating or is he just going through a rough time?We've all heard the "he blames you for cheating" and "his cell phone has a password on it" behaviors of cheating men, but those are the obvious shifts. After interviewing 50 cheating men — and a number of their wives/ex-wives — there are several subtle changes that can take place and that women are usually unaware of until it's too late.
The Saturday Guy (or: How To Kill A Relationship)
When first dating, men usually go above and beyond in their efforts to listen, please, and participate — romantically, physically, and monetarily. However, once they have put in the initial effort and their needs start being met, behavior can change and the effort they’ve been putting in slows. Often, men then start providing the bare minimum required, leaving women wondering what the hell happened, and why he is putting in less and less (as she started putting more into the relationship to compensate). Nowhere is this more glaring than on weekends.
Why strong, empowered women can't find love
Some men start out being attracted to a strong woman... but then they want to "break" them. My thoughts: Men who look to dominate and break the spirit of strong women are doing so for one reason: A man like this needs to bring a woman down *beneath* his level... so that he can not only be in control... he also doesn't have to face his own insecurities or lacking as a man. It's easier for him to try and blame everything on her instead of looking at himself and what he needs to improve.
