Mistakes your partner did – Break up advice for women

People have varying tolerance levels for other people. We can tolerate our friend’s obnoxious behavior, while we can’t do the same for other people. We can be patient for our mom while she’s lining up at the groceries, but we can’t be patient for the delivery boy who delivers your morning paper or coffee. Couples break up because of intolerance towards their partner.

When two people connect in a relationship, it’s no surprise that they will show their good side towards their partner, and unknowingly, their bad side. Women are more susceptible to notice the change in their partner’s behavior and are more sensitive than men. Women are known to be more patient than men simply because of their ability to understand people in a deeper level than men. When women move in with their partners, chances are the two sides will have a sudden change in behavior and attitude towards the other. From this point on, the relationship becomes a sitting duck and the break up is just around the corner with a rifle and its crosshair playfully hovering above the relationship. Quite the analogy but in a matter of speaking, it becomes fragile to the point where all that pent up anger and frustration towards your partner may only need one tipping point to end it all. Husbands argue with their wives because their wives nag too much. Wives nag so their husbands would somehow lend them an ear and heed their advice or order or whatever it is that they would want to do like clean the house, pick up the stuff on the floor and so on. On the women’s side of things, it’s somehow a frustration when their partners don’t listen to them. For a short time this may seem tolerable but in the long run, it’s bound to tip and spill. Of course, conflicts can easily be resolved when you just talk things out with your partners. Worst case scenario is couples break up because of certain unresolved conflicts. In the case of partners living together but not married, women would have different reasons to break up if they see that their partner is not all that they thought he would be. For women, I can offer you some break up advice should a break up can no longer be avoided because of your partner’s deficiencies and downfall:

1.) Break up advice # 1 – When your partner is drinks a lot and refuses to listen to you to stop, better bail out before you end up being beaten up in drunken stupor.

2.) Break up advice #2 – When you see your partner is 100% relying on you for his needs, despite the fact that he can hold a steady job but refuses to get one, better get out before you turn into his slave.


3.) Break up advice #3
– When your partner goes out late at night and refuses to tell you where he goes, then an affair may be lurking up and about. If you share the same circle of friends or if you’re close with his friends, then it’s time for a confrontation.

4.) Break up advice #4 – When your partner lies to you a lot, then there really is no point in staying with him for a prolonged state of time. Better to be out than hurt so much later on.

5.) Break up advice #5
– When your partner talks brashly and hurtfully to you, or in a shorter term, verbal abuse, it just shows that he really doesn’t value you totally as a person. Staying longer in this kind of relationship would end up damaging your self esteem.

It’s never too late to confront your partner and tell him what he is doing wrong. Listening is an important aspect of a relationship and if he still refuses to listen, then breaking up with him would probably be the best for you. It’s painful but you will get over it in due time and you will find someone else better than him.

Are you friends with your ex?

After a break up, people choose to distance themselves from their ex’s or be close to them. Depending on the nature of your break up, choosing to be close with your ex or not is completely dependent on how you broke up in the first place.

For most people, the reason why they want to be close with their ex’s is that they want to get them back. It’s not exactly a bad idea to befriend your ex after a break up. Getting back with your ex may be on top of your mind if you feel that you broke up for all the wrong reasons. Honestly, there really is no harm in befriending your ex after a break up but it doesn’t necessarily mean that you can get back with your ex if you do this though. If it happens that you and your ex were very good friends or best friends even before you took the next step, then chances are you will revert back to that status if the relationship ended in good terms. Note that whenever you are with your ex, it may be awkward for a time considering how close you two were but it shouldn’t stop you from getting close with him/her regardless of your intentions why you want to be close in the first place. Getting back with your ex takes a lot of hard work, patience and determination; just because you want to get back with your ex doesn’t mean that your ex also wants to get back with you. If you and your ex share the same circle of friends, then it shouldn’t be hard to be close with him/her.

Just give them and yourself ample time to recover from the break up before you start deciding on befriending them again. It may take some time to recover from a break up but it is necessary for you and your ex if you want to be close with them or remain friends with them. Remember, when relationships fail, your friends will be the one to help you go through with it and it doesn’t hurt to add more to your list of friends.
