Getting married is one of life’s most exciting milestones.
Then reality sets in."
For women, it’s one thing to realize the challenges that being a great partner actually involves.
I asked the experts and learned eight of the most common reasons that husbands become unhappy.
He has a misunderstanding of marriage
The feeling of being head over heels in love is powerful.
“This takes a while but sets in hard that marriage means your life changes,” he said.
“Men have a hard time accepting this.”
“Men often want to go about life at their pace.
Learn, grow, change (or not change) as individuals,” he explained.
Often men find themselves being forced to finally grow up and they don’t like it.
They love their wives but they want their lives to be the same."
I’ll admit, though, that I’m not always the best at reminding him of these things.
I get it, and I’m trying my best to be less of a critic.
Celebrity relationship expertAudrey Hopeagrees, saying.
“The number one secret thing that men really need is nurturing,” she told me.
If there is no gratitude, they will tire of the union."
“Being a good woman is not enough.
So maybe he doesn’t make the bed or fold the laundryperfectly.
“Allow him to make mistakes,” stresses Weks.
“Don’t point them all out.
Don’t direct, control, or warn him.
Certainly don’t blame him.
You start sounding like his mom
Women are worriers by nature.
“Men hate to be with women who remind them of their mothers,” she told me.
He feels like he can’t make you happy
Life is stressful.
Work can be challenging.
If this is the case, he will eventually stop trying.”
You aren’t nagging him.
You aren’t arguing.
Actually, come to think of it, you aren’t doing much of anything even getting it on.
“It isn’t just that most men have a higher sex drive,” she told me.
“It’s that this is a way for men to open up emotionally.
Sex releases oxytocin, the bonding hormone, so not being physical can create distance.
It also can result in feelings of rejection which can lead to feeling unloved.”
You let yourself go
According to Hope, keeping your man interested goes beyond sex.
“This never changes with them.
She added, “Men need visual and sexual stimulation.
In fact, Hope says that in many marriages, women forget about their husbands when they have kids.
“They become mothers first and wives second,” she said.
She added, “Relationships inspire the best in both of you.
Dare to use the pain to inspire change.”
