ItsyBitsyBride.com: Don't try to change a man...It can't be done

[IrieArce]

Women who think that they can change a man are idiots. Maybe that was harsh, but the truth is that men and their bad habits can’t be changed/ tamed unless he wants to change.

When newlyweds first move in together, they discover so many things about each other that ticks them off. However, men, typically have more bad habits than men, and women are usually more willing to make a change or compromise in order to keep her husband happy. Unlike women, men are usually stuck in their ways.

When we first got married, my husband would do things like leave the cap off the toothpaste, take things out of the fridge and never put them back, leave his clothes all over the place, flood the bathroom floor when taking a shower, pour glasses of juice and never drink them, and the list goes on and on. I would nag and complain all the time with hopes that he would eventually get tired of hearing my mouth and make a change, but that never happened. After wasting so much of my breath, I realized that complaining was pointless.

My advice to you is to voice your aggravation 2 or 3 times and then leave it alone. If he cares enough, he’ll make a change, but if not just suck it up and learn to adapt…Blame it all on his mama for not raising him right. LOL.

Hmmm I guess thats one way of dealing with it. I found that learning how to get him to do it on their own has worked for me. Yes assuming that the bad habits you see in your man will just disappear because you are all that is the wrong approach but there are always ways to curve that. Also, there are somethings that you can live with so why bother but for the other things that really just change the temp. of your blood level should be dealt with if you really want to. And so you know, my husband was born in the south and a true redneck, so they don't come much more hardheaded and with some nasty habits then rednecks....lol.....Just commenting not attacking :o)
