I've been cheated on before and am in a very good relationship right now. I had many insecurities and fears about being cheated on after starting this relationship and can honestly say one thing. You won't be happy unless you swallow your pride and be vulnerable about these things with your partner. My girlfriend was very understanding and anyone who doesn't understand isn't worth your time.

[@lionnonny]

Happy for you. Sounds like you got out of a possible pattern of being with emotionally unavailable women. Wish you both the best 🙏

Yes I’m in high school and I’m obviously nervous of her cheating but we opened up with eachother the other day she came on a family vacation with me and then she was going to fly to her old friends place and she’s going to a party but I opened up to her and told her that I’m nervous and that thought always crept up on me but we also talked about other things but she understand and really assured me nothing is going to happen and I believe her but I told her some is insecurities but she understood and we’re in a stronger place now

I know this video isn't made for me but the situation you're describing is very similar to my own. The feeling of playing a character and the (sometimes irrational) doubts hit close to home. I have been in a 5 year relationship as well and you've given me a lot to think about. You're selling yourself short by trying to reach only men.

[@ALForb]

It's true that this is universal advice. But from what I've seen, women tend to put far more thought into this kind of thing than men do. I think men need pretty direct messaging about how to advocate for themselves in a relationship and how to make these kinds of decisions.

100% agree. The points he made resonated a lot with me, talking strictly from his perspective makes it feel very authentic and i think it’s the right choice, but ultimately getting to the core questions of a relationship is something that doesn’t need to differentiate between men and women. If you are in a similar situation you can clearly see the parallels

Hey man I want to thank you very much for this video, because this resonates with me very much. A year ago I broke up with my first girlfriend. She was perfect in many ways and she really loved me and wanted to be with me. But I had these constant anxious doubts and I was overthinking everything. It was really killing me and also the relationship. I tried to talk about it and opening up about it to her, but in the end nothing changed. Finally I decided to break up because I felt like I couldn't do it anymore and I couldn't do this to her either. I felt she deserved better. What you said about the willingness to change struck something in me, because I think, looking back, that I was afraid to change. Afraid to let go of things. Now I wish that I had done more, because I let someone special go. She has moved on from me and I have been feeling terrible and I have been missing her a lot. I feel like I have failed and I let something precious go just because I didnt have the courage to change. Its hard to move on from this and accept the way things have gone. I'm glad I saw this video. It made me realise that I really need to put more work into self improvement and to take more responsibility of my own shit.

"If you had done EVERYTHING, that means you would have got the outcome that you wanted." That is actually quite a deep quote. Even if that means truly exhausting everything in the relationship and coming to the realisation that things need to be ended, then even that decision is the outcome you wanted (in the end) as you have actually realised they are not the one after all and you can look for your true soulmate elsewhere.

[@puIsaar]

we already ended, i just realize after time to reflect i also had a ton of problems that i simply either never realized or unfortunately didn’t see it as a problem until it was too late. We were so young when we first started dating so i hold no resentment towards either of us it was simply a lovely but also occasionally mentally exhausting relationship for us both. We live, We learn and We grow. to anyone else feeling doubt or guilt in or after a relationship just remember only you can control yourself and your reactions, don’t beat yourself up but do acknowledge criticism

MEN READ THIS: 1st. You'll ask yourself "is shes the one?" so many times especially in a long term relationship and how the relshp progresses youll ask yourself even more. These insecurities and doubts will get louder. This situation is so important bc a lot of men jump into the conclusion of "oh if I have doubts and insecurities then I must not love her". This is not necessarily true. Most of the time there is something else happening. Some kind of fear kreeps inside and wants its resolution. If she makes you a better person, if shes loyal, if you completely trust her etc then you might sit down first with yourself then with her and let her now about your insecurities, fears etc.. Dont avoid hard conversations with her because if you decide to just breakup w/ her without a fight for it then she might be the one that run away and you'll figure it out 5 years when all be too late. 2nd. You may compare the relshp with how it was in the beginning. This is not fair at all. No relshp will ever stay in its honeymoon phase and nothing will ever beat that period of your relshp. Disclaimer: I was in a long term relsh with a guy I thought Ill marry. We were literaly a soulmates. He broke the relsh bc of fear of getting married. He cowardly ended it without wanting to work on it. He never initiated hard and emotional conversations. Guys dont be like my ex. I know one day he'll regret everything. When that happens Ill reply on this comment and let yall know 😅.

the most difficult thing for me is battling a combination of my trust issues, past experiences/insecurities around a relationship, being too controlling because of this, but also letting my boundaries be crossed and forgiving because i hope they will change and grow. so i'm at a point of not knowing when to continue and hold on hope for change but being unsure if i will just have to forgive a mistake again or knowing what should or shouldn't be forgiven. i've lost where the line is and ive almost blurred everything for myself. relationship is 1 year 2 months or so.

[@sonyavincent7450]

Hi. I hope you don't mind me commenting, obviously from a female perspective. Everything you have is basically the whole issue with relationships. It's complicated, both sides have fears and it's hard to work out the complexities. My experience is that you can fiddle with the details, but you also need to look past that and drill down to the core person. Who they are, how they operate, how they see the world, and what makes them tick. And ask yourself, who will I be if I end up with this person? What will my life look like if I commit to thus person? What could we build together? What areas of tension are likely to come up? Examples, you're a planner, she is impulsive. This might cause problems. You're a saver, she's a spender. Or vice versa obviously. Then you are likely to have ongoing squabbles about money. What about how you handle hurt feelings? One of you lashes out, the other goes into long silent treatment sessions. See what I mean? You have to get a core sense of whether your two souls are going to be fundamentally in resonance, or fundamentally at war. This is really tough, and nobody else can do it for you. Basically, what I'm saying is spend less time focusing on what's good about your connection, and take a hard look at your areas of abrasion. That's what could tear you apart, not the good bits. Best of luck to you.

[@apBUS_amp_K]

I am so happy I found this channel. I screwed up my first ever relationship of 2 years bc I wasn't able to tell her what concerns me and what I really want to do with my life and how it compares with her plans. I just tried to do my best to make her happy, even if long term it was meant to contradict my goals. By the time I understood that not talking about problems (either my or our relationship problems) and not asking for support will not play out, I've already lost the interest in her... I started to not listen to her and argue much more, stopped appreciating the time together. I kinda blindsided her when I asked to break up first time, but we decided to try and work it out. But ultimately when we had to go long distance for a month, I realised that my life alone is... not worse at all. I actually forgot when she was returning. That moment I understood that I'll only hurt her more if I pretend to care. Still kinda sad that I wasn't able to communicate clearly. Sometimes I wish I could return that all, since I felt like it was bound to be a fruitful relationship. But I know I most likely won't reignite the feelings in myself to put in the effort again, even if I feel loved... And the push-pull dynamic, which is bound to settle in case this backfires, seems so abhorrent to me that I don't want to try. It's been enough pain for her and me already. Guess, I just have to learn from that experience and move on (and let her move on gracefully) For the month that passed since I'd pushed her, I thought a lot about what I did wrong. And your videos resonate a lot with my thoughts rn. They are tons better than most advice found online. And don't get me started on blackredwhateverpill youtubers. You're out of their league. Keep it up man, keep it up.

[@zassgonz3975]

Your comment actually gave me some kind of explanation of what happened with my ex boyfriend. He couldn't tell me exactly what was wrong with the relationship. But most of what you said is what I felt happened to him and it's kind of recomforting having some sort of explanation of why he decided to break up. Because what he said was vague. He didn't have more energy or he didn't feel well. He wasn't the correct person for me. He said he loved me and he wasn't with another person in the country he had to go to work. One friend told me that most likely he saw that he was living a good life in that beautiful island, with a good job and meeting new people and he felt free and good without me and he made the decision.

[@BBartistic]

@@apBUS_amp_K thank you for writing this. I have similar experience with my ex boyfriend, he ended it. No clear reason why. Im curious, what made you lose interest in her? Did you thought you can find someone better and in which way? Or is it something else?

[@apBUS_amp_K]

@@BBartistic Mainly, I grew tired of her low self-esteem and having to constantly comfort her, even when she was dealing with day to day problems. And as I've said, I couldn't communicate it clearly for a long time. I did think that I could get someone better, but it honestly was a consequence, not a reason of my loss of interest.

[@Umioko]

Thanks for sharing, I think this gives me insight to my ex as well. I would always have to start the tough/deep convos because I was communicating what I needed in the relationship and what changes I needed. He never brought up the “hard” convos, and never really communicated what he needed. I had a feeling his long term goals weren’t aligning with mine so I would ask him about it a few times but he never gave an answer. Eventually I didn’t see the changes I wanted; the emotional connection was weakening. He wasn’t visiting me or calling me as often. This affected my self-esteem and I started wanting more reassurance. Finally I got an answer from him on his long term goal, and sure enough we didn’t align. I recently broke up with him, it’s disappointing. When I’m ready to date again, I’ll be looking for communicative and emotionally available men. ✌️

[@FoodieLexiee]

Modern people overcomplicate things. When I met my now-boyfriend he was quick to know I was the one and we are planning to get married. Dear women, a man who truly see you as his dream girl wont waste your time like that. You deserve more than a man who is unsure about you. Do I think men shouldn't make decisions at their own timing? No. Men are free to do anything. I'm just telling women that, you shouldn't let men who don't make the best effort, have access to you be it your sex, labor, finances, and ESPECIALLY kids. Modern people would say that I am entitled and don't deserve the great treatment that I receive from my boyfriend. Come again? Not having sex before marriage is entitlement? Yall have been lied to by progressive men. Also by the way, your standards as a woman, MOTIVATES your man. Yes the whole "willingness to change" in a man mostly comes from you, because being with you (and keeping you) requires dedication, effort and change. Only AFTER he reaches the milestones, you can reciprocate with your natural, nurturing qualities. Men can take their time, be unsure, do whatever but during this period they are not entitled to women's bodies and labor. Men who gets mad at this comment, think about your daughter. Imagine she's rawdogged almost every day with a possibility of her getting pregnant with a man who cannot convince both YOU and YOUR DAUGHTER that he is responsible. If you don't like the thought of that don't do it to someone else's daughter.

[@susanguche]

'Quick to know I was the one' how quick? A lot of men that are not mentally stable get into marriage fast because once you are married, you don't easily escape, you're trapped. So, quick is not always good.

[@FoodieLexiee]

@@susanguche good thing I require him to buy an apartement under my name. I also ask for mehr money (Islamic dowry) and I can use it as emergency. These are the conditions of marrying me. We are also gonna live apart for a while before he can bridge the gap (we live in different countries). I also continue to work, though choosing a more flexible work hours. So he knows I can quite literally run. This type of approach is still many times safer than letting a man acess you without him convinving you that he is safe.

[@BreMue]

Its nice hearing others affirm the conclusions you have independently come to. Was just telling someone the other day that women think they want "freedom" but what they want is a man they respect and someone they TRUST to make good decisions. If you dont trust them to make good decisions, you will never truly respect them nor will you have a true partner or be able to truly relax with them. But women are so unwilling to give control because men are letting us down and not proving that we can trust them (And on the flip side, some women are trusting the wrong men who let them down over and over!) We as a society need strong trustworthy men!!

I honestly wish my ex would have seen this video half a year ago. Even if he would have come to the conclusion to break up anyway, at least he would have had to think about it and really sit with it (instead of whatever the f.. his way of handling things was)

[@SamuelPradhanisfit]

I had doubts ,I gave all my soul..found out..evrything was a lie from someone close to her who is also my brother's future wife.she told me the truth about my ex...done with love and bs

[@ALForb]

Sorry to hear that, man. Genuine question: when you look back now with the rose coloured glasses off, are there any signs that you missed? Is there nothing that you can learn from that experience, and apply that information to a new framework from which you can safeguard against dishonesty? I've said I'm done with love before. We all know there's no end to love, though. All we can do is try to get better at it.

[@GoldenLion-ux1su]

Don't lose sight of the fact that it was just that one person and not all of them. Real love is out there and it is better to than to never at all. Sincerely a person who was also done with love and BS.

[@danitiwa]

I like your idea of hero vs. warrior but wish you had delved a bit deeper into those concepts because (as a woman who dates men, and who also displays these archetypes sometimes--because I think it's a very human tendency) I think there is something very important missing from what you mention. It is crucial to learn honest vulnerability in an adult manner. To keep your immature childish self in check while tuning into childlike vulnerability. The immature childish self is entitled, arrogant and demanding. Which is unattractive regardless of gender or sexual orientation. No one wants to parent their partner, and it's not a fair expectation. The authentic vulnerable childlike self on the other hand: admits pain and asks for help. Gives their partner the option to help, realizes that no one owes them anything, but also realizes that if we never open ourselves to the possibility of being hurt, and never reveal our most tender parts--we will never fully connect with anyone. Women (and most people) do not like crocodile tears, or people who constantly pretend to be on top of everything and shut us out all the time in order to create an overly idealized image of themself. It may create lust in the short term, but it's also a barrier to intimacy if it becomes the entire relationship dynamic. Being in a good relationship is a constant balancing act, and nobody's perfect, so let's be kind to ourselves and each other while we're on this bizarre and confusing journey we call life. A lot of the things you say are specific to male problems in the 21st century and I respect the way you break issues down for men and boys. On the other hand, like others have mentioned: many of the things you mention are also applicable to everybody!

[@joonoski5208]

I love this. I hope he doesn’t doubt it. I want to still make it work

[@Barbie4U2]

Can I just say something here, please? At around the 3:45 mark, he’s talking about sitting down and having a serious talk with a significant other. He says, “if she gives you some half asked response, than that tells you everything you need to know.” Personally, I am a fearful avoidant and confrontations like this make me very, VERY nervous. I tend to deflect in many situations or change the subject. It’s not because I don’t love my partner any less…… it’s just because I’m not good at talking about/ discussing emotions and feelings. Please don’t think that’s “a sign” just try a different approach. Thank you

Hey, keep it up 👍 precious advice. I am begining to follow your videos.

Any advice for someone who’s never found someone they like in the first place? If you know you like someone, that’s not much of a doubt actually

[@raenarr]

Thank you, man.

[@ονειρο_θερινο]

My bf of 18 months, is a massive procrastinator. He delays every single task he has to do and of course that affects our relationship. We are still young, 4th year in university. He hasn't worked yet nor went to military (where i live its mandatory for men to go there for 6months). So I hope that when he goes through these he'll mature and change his habits. Be on time. Have a plan. Have goals and actually achieve them without moaning about being unlucky when in actuality he's just lazy! Sometimes I think by just telling him what the problem is, that things will change and that's not true But I love him to death, and I recognise that I am imperfect too, in so many ways...

[@abigailchristenson388]

Im saying this from experience, dont date someone because of how you hope they might change. Dont date someone based on one potential of who they might be. Its wasting both peoples time. He will only change into what he wants to if he wants to.

Good advice..and i am a woman..soms things applies to me too..thanks!❤

[@CC-ut7ow]

Hi brother, appreciate your videos youre awesome, have this dilemma here, I’m moving out the country for the next 2 years to Germany actually hahaha so I decided to break up with her, it sucked to make that choice because I love her but I knew that it was the best for both, she was willing to do long distance but the problem is that I’m not sure if I’ll ever comeback and she’s not sure if she wants to move in with me, talking about your 4th point, I know that I probably could’ve given more and continue with the relationship but when do you know it is better to probably end it and continue with your life? we both agreed to keep our contacts and to try it again if things work our way in the future but still want to be with her although I know that it is healthier to break up.

[@gregorgailan2849]

I would like some advice i have talked to my girl about her going to bars and that i dont like it but she decides not to care saying that she does not want to be at home like a prisoner. How should i aproach this? What could i do differently

[@ryandowd7108]

It sounds like you guys want and have different expectations and wants in your relationship. A follow up question would be, does she take you to the bar with her or at least invite you. Are there drinking problems present? If she doesn’t care about your opinion, then that’s a pretty red flag in and of itself. Just my opinion, hope your problems get sorted out!

[@gregorgailan2849]

I only get invited when i ask she does not even think about it and tbh she has not given me any reason to think she would cheat and she usualy goes with 1 or max 2 friends and it is basically all she does other then work, shopping and going to the gym, so at the same time it is the only time she can turn her mind off@@ryandowd7108

[@gregorgailan2849]

I think the reason why she does not invite me is because i have told her that i dont like places like that, it is just a waste of time and money to me, i would rather build skills or progress in some way rather then get drunk for the fuck of it​@@ryandowd7108

[@stillnai]

I’m making an assumption here that you’re insecure about her going to bars in case she meets other guys or has fun without you? I make that assumption just because it isn’t really up to you what other ppl enjoy as a hobby, plus she’s referring to home as a prison. Make sure your focus in this relationship is on loving her, not just not losing her, because she will feel this and it will be like a self-fulling prophecy where you push her away. And careful with expecting her to do things just to make you feel comfortable as this leads to isolation and can strip your partner of their identity and passion. Look at your own insecurities as that’s the real issue here, if my assumptions are correct but even if they aren’t like I said it’s not your place to dictate others’ hobbies. If you are more trusting of her, you will see the relationship improve. And she will trust you more too.

[@BBartistic]

@@stillnai I agree with you but not the part of referring going out in bars as a hobby. Going out isnt a hobby.

Thank you

[@ajalachova2299]

I love this guy ´s perspective on relationships and the dynamic between masculine and feminine energies he explains. I would love to be in such a relationship and i do want to do my part and learn. Does anybody know about any female mentor with similar philosophy on love? Thanx🧡

[@lorrainejiang137]

What to do when your partner still did not trust you when you tried to prove yourself by responding in time and satisfying his needs, never cheating and allowing him to check my phone whenever he asked?

[@2jjulian]

Its his own problem then

[@dahliaherrod4301]

Sounds like a him problem. If he's unwilling or unable to trust you, then ask yourself if you are willing to be in a relationship with an untrusting man. If not, leave posthaste

[@psalmsofafuwa]

Might be time to move on. Unless he decides to work on himself and get better. You've done all that you can do it seems.
