10 Things Your Partner Never Says, But You Need To Know.

I believe communication, understanding and trust are the fundamental prerequisites to establish a healthy relationship. Unfortunately, communication can lead to serious conundrums at times. All it takes is just one partner not telling the other - his/her feelings or thoughts truthfully or at all. 

This post will be more interesting to the female readers out there today. As I will be writing the 10 things you should know about your male partner.

For the male readers out there, you can play a part too by agreeing silently in your heart 
with what I have to say. 



          1.      Men are sensitive too

Perhaps, in your entire life time – you would never hear your partner admitting to that they can be sensitive too. I know I may sound a little exaggerated here but this is true for all men. They may appear tough and manly most of the times, but underneath that tough and manly exterior, there will always be a sensitive spot. Men dislike showing too much of their sensitive side to their partners.  So my few words of advice to girls is that, if you’re going to say something mean to him, be aware that your words may just succeed in leaving some ugly scars in his sensitive spots. 

         2.    He compares himself with your ex-boyfriend

You may find it shocking that this point has surfaced. But trust me, majority of the men does that. Most men want their partners to be happy.  They will be interested to learn about your past and as well as, to avoid committing the mistakes that your ex has did. After all, they want to become better partners than your previous ones.  

         3.    He is unsure of himself at times

Most of the time, men can appear confident, clear on what are their goals and how they are going to achieve it. Needless to say, this applies to the feelings for their partners as well. However, this is not quite true at times.  In fact, if you could read your partner’s mind – you would be shock to find out that he can gather together a list of personal comments on his physical appearance, his school life, his work life & his relationships. So just pay attention to what he is saying especially when he is not in the serious mood. You can actually find out what are the things that really scare him. 

        4.     He invites you to meet his friends

Be happy when you boyfriend does that – because chances are you will be his partner for a long time.  For one to do this, he must have considered and gave many thoughts to the concerns and future of this relationship. And right now, he finally wants his buddies to get along with you & take a good look at his potential wife. This is a good sign.  

        5.        He needs his personal space

Men usually do not tell their partners about it. They always place their partners above anything. Even if he is annoyed or angry about not having his personal space, he will not mention or show it straightforwardly. So it is good to maintain a balance between spending time together and his personal space. Whether he plays video games or gyms during his personal time, he enjoys & it relaxes him. You should always encourage him to pursue his interests,passions & do what he enjoys, even if it means less time will be spent together. 

        6.        He will like what you like

This is true. I know it is difficult for the girls to find out whether their partners truthfully like what you like. That is because the males’ lips are always sealed.  They do not confess it out. However trust me – because they love you, they would not mind at all. Your happiness is all it matters to them.  He will like the things you like too. 

        7.         He only wants you to be happy

Every man will definitely have this thinking instilled in their hearts. He genuinely cares & stays commited for you. He may not get you the correct gift for your birthday or even forget the anniversary, but look at the small little things he has done for you in the relationship.  He may not exactly know how to please you, but as long as he is trying with his most sincere efforts – that’s all it matters, right?

        8.     He will do things specially for you

Men will always remember what you like to eat, what games you like to play and what genre of movies you love watching. So when he asks you out, it may appear to you like a simple and last minute outing. But trust me, he has it all planned out for you. This may appear subtle to you and is only because of one reason again – his lips are always sealed. Then of course, you will never know unless you can feel it.

         9.     Men love to look themselves in the mirror

Most men will deny that they often look themselves in the mirror. It may come shocking to you, but is true! They do care about their looks more than you would have expected. Looking presentable is also a must to them. At times, they like to check whether their face has become cleaner as a result of the use of facial products. For whatever reasons a man looks in the mirror, they can’t deny that they do not like to see themselves in the mirror. But one thing certain is – definitely not as much as the females do. 

        10.       Men like to be pampered at times

Never will they admit this point to the females. Most men do really appreciate the small little gifts or outings planned by their partner.  So striking a balance between giving and receiving here is the key to maintain an active, vibrant and healthy relationship. As this serves as a reminder to both parties still stays fully committed and loving to one another.
