No matter what a man’s current situation may be, a man can often lose his sense of manhood. This is an awful place for any man to be stuck in and it will often affect all aspects of his life. When you start to notice a change in behavior, it is time to analyze it. Try to understand why he may be feeling like he feels. Try to help him deal with his feelings, as best you can. Here are a few things you can do to help him gain some of his manhood back in situations that you can control.
Regardless if you are the one paying any bills or the one, who usually makes decisions, include him. Let him know that his opinion on the situation matters. Let him be man of the house and decide in certain areas for which you wouldn’t normally seek his opinion or guidance. This can boost his moral significantly.
Let him pay. Even if you are the breadwinner and he is coming up short, let him pay. Take your money prior to entry at any establishment and hand it over to him. Give him enough to ensure the transaction will be covered and let him be the one to pay for it. A man like to be in control of any transaction and to not be able to do so, can be a major downer for him. Let him cover the bill(s) even, if it is out of your pocket. Men are not graceful in hiding their pain and if you pay, it will show for all to see that he is hurt and embarrassed by you doing so. When you hand him the money, don’t explain. Just act as though you don’t want to carry your purse or you don’t want to deal with the waiter so you’d rather them do it.
Don’t pet him. While, support is a big factor in helping him through a rough spot in life, it is important not to dwell on anything with him. Too much waiting on them and you will find yourself with someone who can get used to being waited on and will not seek to better their situation. This can create an ongoing ordeal for both you and him.
Let him do the manly duties. Yes, he should be cutting grass, taking out the trash and mainly just acting like a man! Just because you see your man in a sadden or confused state doesn’t mean you should enable him to remain there. While, you don’t want to be overbearing or push him over the edge, let him know he’s still needed and the manly duties at home are still in place. Persuade him to get up and take part in what they need to do.
Finding your man in a sadden state or a confused frame of mind, can be one of the most difficult things to go through; not only for him but everyone in the house hold. Men are the glue when it comes to many homes. While, the woman is what keeps everyone going, the man is what sets the tone in any relationship or setting. When he is lost, everyone else tends to feel the same way. Keep him afloat and provide constant encouragement to better any situation that he may be facing. You have to proceed with caution when it comes to a man, he doesn’t like handouts or being bossed. Make him feel as though, it is his idea and that he can do anything, your relationship depends on it.
