Real men aren’t in the habit of asking their women for things. Your man may really want you to do certain things for him but can’t bring himself to ask because of his ego. Interestingly, speaking up more would improve your relationship, but he doesn’t seem willing to do so. Here are 5 things he would be happy for you to do but would never ask you to do.
1. Complimenting His Looks
He probably knows he’s handsome, but it wouldn’t hurt to give him some compliments. It wouldn’t hurt to say it and make him feel like the good-looking man he is. Women live for compliments, and you could have your man compliment you every second. For some reason, you think he doesn’t need those compliments too, but you’re wrong. A man needs those compliments. He wants you to remind him how good-looking he is and to make him feel like the most handsome man on earth.
There are several guys around, but if you’re with him, there has to be a reason. You have to believe he’s covered in the looks department. Don’t just feel it; communicate it. Say it to him. He wants to hear it, but his ego would never let him ask.
2. Appreciating His Efforts
We have to give credit to men. We try our best, but sometimes we don’t even receive appreciation. You might feel it’s his duty to do all that work, to be there for you, and to do right by you. Maybe it’s his duty, but you aren’t entitled to anything.
If he makes the effort to treat you right, make you feel good, honor you as his woman, and love you unconditionally, it doesn’t hurt to appreciate him. He wants you to appreciate his efforts, no matter how small. He might never ask because he wants it to be genuine and effortless.
If he has to ask, it won’t feel natural. Appreciating his small efforts boosts his self-esteem and encourages him to do even more for you.
3. Reassuring Him of Your Love
You love him, don’t you? I want to believe that you do. If you don’t tell him often enough, he might forget. Couples fight and go through trying times, and he might forget for a moment that you love him.
It’s up to you to reassure him. He might not feel as loved as you think. You love it when he reassures you, and it makes you feel great. He wants the same, but he won’t ask because he doesn’t want to come across as overly emotional.
Consistently reassuring him makes him feel good and motivates him to love you even more. He would do everything in his power to show you that you’re the woman of his heart.
4. Trusting Him Completely
A man wants his woman to trust him as much as he trusts her, or even more. If you don’t trust him, he sees it as a lack of regard. Trust is essential in every relationship.
He wants you to trust that he loves you, that he’s got you, and that come rain or shine, you’re in this together. When you trust him, he will go the extra mile for you. It’s not enough to feel it; you need to say it. Saying “I trust you” means a lot to him.
Trust his judgment and believe in his abilities. When you do, he feels unstoppable, like there’s nothing he can’t do with you by his side.
5. Accepting Him for Who He Is
There’s nothing better than a man being his authentic self with his woman. He wants to feel at home with you. He wants to be himself, not someone else to impress you.
He wants you to accept all of him, not just some parts. Nobody is perfect, and he wants you to accept his imperfections. He doesn’t want the pressure to act or be a certain way.
When he feels accepted, he feels free. He laughs louder, jokes more, and relaxes because he’s with someone who loves him authentically. He might never ask for this, but it means a great deal to him.
Many men struggle to express their needs because they were raised not to be needy. This leads them to hold back, even when it’s to their detriment. Understanding your man’s unspoken needs will help you nurture your relationship.
