Men only do what you allow them to do. In this case, it still holds true. Men will continue with the same habits even after messing up because they know exactly what to say or do to get one over on you. Stop being a bend over buddy and tolerating their mess. Here is a list of things men do that we allow time and time again:

Getting His Family To Cosign

Being able to speak to his mom, sister or any close relative of his makes us feel significant to his life. Of course, having them justify his actions and making more excuses for him helps blow the situation over. Then everything is back to normal and you feel apart of his family.

Doing Chores

He knows he has to do something out of the ordinary to get back on your good side, so of course, he does something he should have already been doing which is picking up his share of the responsibilities. He will only do this for a limited amount of time. Afterwards, he will be back to his regular scheduled program.

Pay More Attention To You

Just like those chores, paying attention to your wants and needs will be for a limited amount of time. He will be more romantic and try to be all under you. We know it’s just to be on your good side but don’t fall for the shenanigans. If you decide to fall for it, at least milk him for all you can!

Get Upset With You

Some of these men know exactly how to play the game. Here is what we like to call, mind control. We all hate when our men are mad at us. Somehow they flip the script on us and we end up taking blame for what we know he did wrong. It’s easier for us to take on that guilt. Don’t be fooled. If you ever experienced this, you have a slick one on your hands.

Being a cry baby

Here we go again with these sad stories and lame excuses to make you feel sorry for them and sorry that you were even mad at them in the first place. Everything that they’re supposedly going through makes you feel like you were too harsh. Tell him to man up! He can’t use this excuses forever. Eventually, he is going to have to take accountability for his actions.
