Don’t Complain About Your Female Partner

Complaining about your partner gives her a bad feeling you don’t like her and you don’t appreciate who she really is.

Since a few years, I hear lots of comments from men complaining about their female partner; women are lazy people, women are people without any driven energy to get anything done. I also hear those comments when I am in public transport men calling friends, sitting with friends in public transport or reading those comments online. It is not respectful to say those things about your partner.

I think it is this generation that is

Why would you even complain about your partner? You didn't choose her for being your project or to complain about her.

You have chosen her for who she really is and that is what you, MEN, should embrace.

Men, please don’t complain about your wife or girlfriend. You chose her to be your partner for who she is. Otherwise, you shouldn’t have to choose her.

I’ll remember you: SHE IS NOT YOUR PROJECT!

You can not fix her to be like for who you want her to be. People are different, so is your partner. Don’t make her your project to ‘fix’ her. She is not an object. She is a human being with feelings.

Make her feel loved for who she really is. Embrace her for what she does, for what she loves and then you’ll embrace her flaws too. Men, you also have flaws. Don’t project those on your partner too.

Look at what she is capable of and that is a lot more than you will think.

Approach her positively and not negatively.

It is bad to talk badly about her with your brother, your friends or whoever.

She deserves being treated correctly. You should not treat her you want to change her. She can’t and she won’t if you’re treated her like that.

Maybe, you really want to treat her for who she is, but you're having difficulties to do so. Think about what you’re going to do and what you’re going to say before acting. And when acting, show her your love for her and remember her why you started loving her.

There could be a lot of reasons why you act the way you do towards her.

One thing is to look at your youth and with whom you’re being surrounded.

It is more likely you have seen it from your parents and friends, and think you might do it too.

So, I had to write this off my chest for a long time.

Sorry, men, for the complain, but I am done with it!
