From the surface issues have been trying nice. Nevertheless issues weren’t all the time what they appear.
The lady started to really feel unwell usually. Because the docs would verify, she was recognized with an autoimmune illness.
So not solely was she weighed down by lethargy day-after-day, she began to placed on increasingly more weight.
However as a substitute of serving to her cope with this illness and simply general being there for her, her man mocked her and pressured her to lose the burden.
In any case, he didn’t need to be seen publicly with a “bigger” lady.
In different phrases, he wished to protect his picture extra so than he wished to see her wholesome and glad.
So not solely did her well being take a significant hit, so did her self-worth. And as a substitute of help, all she bought was disapproval, rejection and humiliation.
Finally as you possibly can think about, they broke up and he by no means contacted her once more.
Some would counsel that it was so unlucky that she needed to contract this illness, nevertheless you may also say that it was blessing in disguise because it utterly revealed his character.

#1: A person who’s overly involved about picture will throw you below the bus and abandon you
You possibly can’t worth your picture and put your relationship first, as a result of one is antagonistic to the opposite.
When a person values his picture (for instance, the way you make him “look” in entrance of others), he’s placing a subjective ideally suited first. A subjective ideally suited that different folks might not share, not to mention perceive.

#2: There are males who’re slaves to feminine admiration, & there are males who aren’t…
There are males who’re determined for admiration from girls typically, and there are males who solely need their one and solely to admire them.
If a person seeks out feminine validation and admiration, that’s a crimson flag most of the time. It may be an indication that he has anxious or avoidant attachment model.
For extra on the 4 kinds of attachment kinds in relationships, CLICK to learn this text.
One may argue that on some stage, all males like the feminine species appreciating them and their efforts, however searching for out consideration from girls is an indication of an dependancy to feminine consideration.
That’s problematic. That’s maladaptive. It means he’s searching for one thing at present that he by no means bought up to now (and he doesn’t even understand it).
That one thing is the all-encompassing love of his dad and mom that he by no means bought. And the worst half about it’s that by the point a person will get up to now, he’s well beyond understanding it or being conscious of it.
Are you able to make a person conscious that he’s searching for the all encompassing love of his dad and mom within the type of approval in girls?
I’m positive you possibly can. But when he’s not on board with therapeutic that dependancy, (which most avoidants won’t be – nevertheless anxious are totally different)….then you’ve got little hope of turning him right into a securely connected man.
Your finest guess is to draw a securely connected man into your life. Take it from somebody who’s been therapeutic from anxious attachment for 20 years – life isn’t enjoyable with an insecurely connected particular person.
You’re risking being damage and emotionally deserted. And so you’ve got to pay attention to that and both settle for it, or transfer onto one thing higher.

Do the quiz: What’s my attachment model?
#3: A loyal man stays that approach
…He doesn’t change as a result of a scorching lady tries to seduce him. Right here’s what you need to perceive:

However for the lads whom loyalty is of their blood, your sexual attractiveness and need to seduce him won’t change a factor.

Right here’s a video I made on this precise matter: 7 NEW Truths on Males (That They Disguise From Sensible Girls):
Loyal males maintain the idea that they’ve every part they want they usually’d quite be left alone. Sure, there are males like that on the market.
Disloyal males would attempt to get some secretly, whether or not or not it’s simply validating appears from enticing girls, or precise intercourse on the facet with different girls.
As soon as a person is prepared to go that far, stopping him is difficult. In reality, it by no means was your job to start with.
I used to imagine loyal males didn’t exist. I actually believed it was a lie. An inconceivable factor. In the event you ask the distant, mistrustful voice at the back of my thoughts whether or not I nonetheless imagine, she would possibly hesitate, however life has proven me that loyalty does exist in males.
As a result of these males see worth in several issues than what disloyal males see worth in.
In different phrases, a loyal man has realized that intimacy is the place the worth is, not floor validation.
He both learns this over time, or he learns it naturally at a younger age by way of being uncovered to good natured folks in his childhood. Individuals who gave him every part a toddler may’ve requested for.
And when you’re pondering that’s an indication of safe attachment, you might be proper! Securely connected males are a distinct breed.
This doesn’t imply securely connected males are all the time loyal by default, but it surely does imply that they’ve higher inner resourcefulness to worth actual intimate relationships and play the lengthy sport.

#4: A person who can’t suppose independently can’t provide long-term worth to you
It’s ideally suited for you if a masculine man has the flexibility to suppose independently. And by independently, I imply he must have the flexibility to provide you with his personal ideas primarily based upon his personal goal observations and analysis.
And for impartial pondering to return full circle, he then must weigh up opposing views and determine primarily based upon these opposing views.
So that is the alternative of going together with groupthink. That is the alternative of doing what different folks do in an effort to preserve your social circle.
Admittedly, that is arduous to do. I’m from Australia, and whereas it’s most likely related in lots of different international locations on this planet, on this nation there are quite a lot of grown women and men who hold onto their social teams at any price.
Pondering in a different way to your pals can get you shunned in a millisecond.
On prime of that, individuals are proud of their comfy lives with their comfy buddies, and while there’s worth in that, it’s not a great mindset to have these days.
This present day, we don’t have the social cohesion, freedom and stability we as soon as had. Persons are much more divided, remoted and afraid (or in survival mode).
In occasions like these, there’s enormous long run worth in having a person who can suppose independently.
Associated: How you can Perceive Males: 5 Insights On Males To Ease Your Worries.
I’ll provide you with a warning on these males although:
They’re not all the time straightforward to be with, as a result of they might not make the identical selections as your personal buddies, and you might lose buddies within the technique of trusting your man’s course.
That’s the worth to pay. (I didn’t say there wasn’t a worth to pay for selecting an impartial thinker, did I?)
So YES, there’s completely a worth to pay for selecting an impartial thinker.
However that worth isn’t simply that you could be lose buddies or social approval.
It’s that you could be:
- Be pressured to query what you’ve all the time believed.
- You might need to reside life in a different way to how others reside it.
- You’ll have to surrender attachment to stuff you by no means wished to surrender attachment to.
However within the course of, you’ll acquire:
- A life lived primarily based on the reality.
- Freedom from social ties you secretly resent.

#5: Youth issues to males, however not in the way in which you assume
Like many ladies, I’ve had a second of panic up to now, questioning what life can be like once I bought older.
Would I be devalued in males’s minds once I’m not younger and recent? Would I be deserted only for being outdated?
And fact is, there are males who will abandon you for being outdated, however that’s as a result of they have been that form of man within the first place. The lack of your youth was simply the factor that pushed them over the sting.
They most likely deserted you emotionally in some ways main as much as that time; you simply weren’t conscious of it.
Usually it’s the anxiously connected girls (or girls from poisonous households) who don’t discover such emotional abandonment.
And in the event that they did discover it, they devalued their ache over this abandonment in order that they might maintain on to the remnants of a “relationship” that that they had.
Keep in mind: anxious ladies and men cling, even to low worth companions, as a result of that’s how their nervous system is wired to function.
However again to my primary level: youth issues to males, however not in the way in which you suppose. Right here’s what I imagine:
Given a alternative between two girls who’re equal in each approach, however one is 23 and the opposite is 33, nearly all of males would select the 23 yr outdated if they might.
However since when did two girls come equal in each approach aside from their age? Principally by no means.
As a rule, girls lose their worth within the eyes of males as they become older just because the variety of youngsters they will produce is closely diminished.
A 23 yr outdated can have many extra youngsters than a 33 yr outdated (within the eyes of a person). Subsequently, investing within the youthful lady makes extra sense for a person.
However right here’s the excellence:
On the whole, youth issues much more to a person who’s trying to have youngsters or hasn’t already had them.
A person who has already had youngsters wouldn’t place the identical worth on a youthful lady {that a} man who hasn’t had youngsters would.
…Until he’s obsessive about a girl’s youth for the sake of his picture, and isn’t actually eager about placing emotional connection and emotional attraction first.
#6: A person’s relationship together with his personal mortality says every part
…about his character.
A person who can’t confront his personal mortality with a way of openness is a foul signal. It is smart to concern dying while you’re youthful, however while you hit your 30s, 40s and past, a person ought to have already confronted his personal mortality.
And even higher: he would make this confrontation an everyday factor in his life.
Why?
As a result of masculine power thrives on problem. (No, that doesn’t imply you could be his problem). It simply signifies that masculine power grows by way of problem.
As such, the lads with the deepest masculine power have often embraced the opportunity of dying ultimately.
It shouldn’t scare a person by the point he hits his 30s.
I perceive these are my very own arbitrary ideas, but it surely comes from expertise. I’ve recognized males of their 80s who’re terrified to die as a result of they didn’t truly reside.
And what’s not dwelling an indication of?
It’s an indication of insecure attachment kinds in addition to being too weak to make selections which are genuine to you (and your personal masculine course).
Normally women and men chronically concern dying due to the next causes:
- We haven’t let go of issues that we have to let go of in an effort to actually reside. For instance, poisonous individuals who all the time take from us, or concepts that preserve us trapped in mediocrity, concern and defensiveness.
- We’re anxiously connected or have avoidant attachment model. It’s very troublesome for these kinds of folks to cope with their very own mortality. I can talk about why in a future weblog submit or e mail publication (remark under if you need that).
So ask your self: has he confronted his personal mortality? Has he handled it?
And extra importantly, have you ever handled your personal mortality? Since you’ll must match his braveness in some unspecified time in the future.
#7: A person who “copes” will make you’re feeling like you’ve got an inferior catch
Coping mechanisms are simply that: a approach to deal with stress.
The factor is, stress will all the time present up in life. It’s inevitable. All of us have to maneuver by way of adversity in some unspecified time in the future.
Nevertheless, there are males who can’t cope with adversity with out alcohol or different substances. I imply, it’s not all unhealthy – a minimum of they’re coping. Proper?
Certain.
However by way of bringing worth to you – someday you’ll begin to really feel like you’ve got an inferior catch. And this isn’t nearly evaluating your husband who’s a panel beater to Bernice’s husband who’s a CEO – it’s about males being excessive manintenance.
The extra he has to make use of coping mechanisms, the extra you’ll have to teach him or attempt to assist him. And there’s nothing incorrect with that – the truth is you possibly can argue that this makes you a “good particular person”.
However all good folks have a restrict. Keep in mind: he has coping mechanisms due to one or all the following causes:
- He has unprocessed trauma.
- He has anxious or avoidant attachment.
- He has guidelines round how he should act or what he can really feel as a person.
A person who has points to cope with should understand it’s alright to course of these emotions. It’s not that it’s incorrect to have trauma or insecure attachment patterns.
It’s that generally males don’t imagine it’s alright to work by way of them. And let’s be sincere right here – it takes A LOT to work by way of insecure attachment.
We’re speaking a backlog of mourning not like something you’ve ever seen earlier than. And that’s okay. But when he retains pushing down that mourning with coping mechanisms, it is going to not finish properly for both of you.
Last Phrases
Do not forget that quite a lot of your happiness in life comes all the way down to the standard of the person you select. And the identical may be stated of his alternative in a girl.
So be sure you’re valuing the suitable issues. Are you prioritising beauty, peak and cash over integrity?
Are you prioritising a person who offers you pleasure by way of cold and warm conduct over actual emotional dedication (maybe as a result of you’ve got anxious attachment?)
Valuing the shiny issues all the time comes with an enormous price ticket that you simply don’t discover till your buried in trauma or grief.
