10 Big Mistakes Ladies Make In a Serious Relationship

1. Taking your Guy for granted: Many people think it is only Ladies that seek attention, but Let me tell you the truth, guys love attention too! Do things for your Guy. You may cook him a special food, arrange a romantic date, dress up for him, dress down for him if you are married, give him a surprise gift or do anything you think he will like. Romantic gestures can play an important role in keeping your man happy. When your man is down or depressed, be his support and shoulder. Give him support and pampering when he
wants it. 

2. Being too possessive: This is the biggest mistake many ladies make in their relationship. I know of a lady who goes to the extent of stalking her guy– even in public. If you are always around your man or talking to him always on phone, you need to stop!  I have even seen Ladies who keep on wrapping their arms around their partner in public as if he is her private property. Stop it! Your partner may like your attention for some time but after that, he might get annoyed. If you do not draw the line at constantly wanting to be around your Boyfriend, he will start avoiding you–instead of spending his time with you.

3. Not giving enough time for the Relationship: Ive noticed that many girls want stability in relationships. They want relationships to end in the altar rather than break ups. I advise you not to start talking about marriage and children too early in your relationship. Allow things to take its natural course. Treasure your time together and do not rush your Guy–demanding commitment from him in the early stages of a relationship.

4. Not being presentable: Make sure you look good and presentable in front of your guy's family and friends. Be presentable always..Dress decently. When you are on a date, or spending time with him, make an effort to dress to impress. Always take good care of your appearance and hygiene.

5. Being disrespectful and dishonest: Don't ever pick at your guy in public. Give your man the respect he deserves. Hiding secrets from your Boyfriend can harm your relationship. Even if you have done something you regret, it is better to tell him than let him find out on his own. Liars always get caught. He will lose the trust he had on you, if he catches you.

6. Being too controlling: Do not control your guy's every move. Allow your Man to make the first move. We guys like to take the lead. Allow him to pursue you than the other way round. Let him plan the dates than you doing it from your side. This will help you know if he is genuinely interested in you or not. However, there is no harm in you taking the lead once in a while. 

7. Trying to keep him away from his Family & Friends: Do you always look for excuses to keep your Man away from his family & friends? Do you prevent him from going out with his Friends–and insist that he spends time with you? it’s time you change oh.. You have to understand that his friends and family are part of his life even before you. Be friendly with his family and friends but don't overdo it by being too friendly or dominating. 

8. Comparing him with your Ex and talking of the Past: Don't the mistake of comparing your current Boyfriend with your Ex. In fact eh,this is one of the best things a girl can do if she wants to chase her guy away... **Lol** Even if you are just teasing him to see how he would react or if it was just a harmless comparison made without thinking, your Guy would most likely take it as a sign that you have not fully moved on from your previous relationship. Even if he does not take it in that manner, comparisons are definitely going to hurt his self esteem and your relationship with him.

9. Being Superficial: Don’t try to be someone whom you are not. Let your Guy see the real you. Let him like you and love you as yourself!

10. Not understanding your Man: A good girlfriend understands her partner well and is always there for him when he needs her. This is where good communication and spending quality time with your Guy regularly plays an important role. Make him feel at ease with you enough to share everything. Listen to his needs, worries and passions. Also trust him with your concerns and problems. Be supportive to your Guy’s Career and Hobbies. Understand his problems. Try to adapt to his likes and interests (This does not mean that you have to give up yours oh).
