If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away.
If he doesn't want you, nothing can make him stay.
I disagree. His sense of responsibility can make him stay or not come. Consider a couple who fall apart and maybe should never have been together, but stay together for the children.
Stop making excuses for a man and his behaviour.
Agreed people should give account of themselves. If he won't dont do it for him.
Allow your intuition (or spirit) to save you from
heartache.
I am a big believer in intuition so yeah
Stop trying to change yourself for a relationship that's not meant to
be.
I agree rather be true to who you are
Slower is better. Never live your life for a man before you find what
Makes you truly happy.
I think this is sage advice. That’s why I would not want people to marry too young
If a relationship ends because the man was not treating you as you
Deserve then heck no, you can't "be friends".
A friend wouldn't mistreat a friend. Don't settle.
If we are talking abusive then yes I agree.
If you feel like he is stringing you along, then he probably is.
Don't stay because you think "it will get better."
You'll be mad at yourself a year later for staying when things are not better.
Sometimes I think you got to cut your losses and go
The only person you can control in a relationship is you.
True
Avoid men who've got a bunch of children by a bunch of different women. He didn't marry them when he got them pregnant, why would he treat you any differently?
This is an awful generalisation. I know men who have done this who have grown into older men who make good husbands and fathers who support all the illegitimate children. And who is to say that it is him who would not marry her. Besides he did not fall pregnant on his own
Always have your own set of friends separate from his.
Probably a good idea to have an outside support system
Maintain boundaries in how a guy treats you. If something bothers you, speak up.
Yes please speak up.
Never let a man know everything. He will use it against you later.
This is an abysmal generalisation of the worst kind, I can’t believe this was written by Oprah
You cannot change a man's behaviour. Change comes from within.
True
Don't EVER make him feel he is more important than you are... even if
He has more education or in a better job. Do not make him into a quasi-god. He is a man, nothing more nothing less.
I Agree except he is a human no more no less.
Never let a man define who you are.
I Agree
Never borrow someone else's man.
If he cheated with you, he'll cheat on you.
I don’t think this is the case. While it may be probable it’s still generalizing.
A man will only treat you the way you ALLOW him to treat you.
I agree
All men are NOT dogs.
I can’t believe this is the same person who says don’t tell a man everything beacuse he WILL use it against you later . I agree all men are not dogs.
You should not be the one doing all the bending...compromise is two Way street.
True
You need time to heal between relationships...there is nothing cute
About baggage... deal with your issues before pursuing a new
relationship
I disagree we are all capable of holding on to baggage for years.
I think living to this rule will kill off relationships altogether.
Relationships can’t be equated to airconditioning.
You should never look for someone to COMPLETE you...a relationship
Consists of two WHOLE individuals...look for someone Complimentary...not
supplementary.
I can go with this
Dating is fun...even if he doesn't turn out to be Mr. Right.
I can go with this
Make him miss you sometimes...when a man always know where you are, And
you're always readily available to him - he takes it for granted.
This may be true, although it makes the assumption all men are wired the same.
Never move into his mother's house.
I so agree on this one
Never co-sign for a man.
Smacks of sexism this one. It make a sweeping generalisation about men. What makes a woman any more reliable to co-sign for. Better advice might be don’t co-sign for anyone
Don't fully commit to a man who doesn't give you everything that you
need.
Would anyone ever commit in this case? Besides how do you only partly commit. Either you commit or you don't. When a pilot is on final appraoch and commits to land the plane , he has got to take the whole plane down he cant leave 25% in the air. Partial commitment is a misnomer.
Keep him in your radar but get to know
others.
This I could go either way on.
