5 Reasons Men Change In A Relationship

  1. Dissatisfaction
  2. Maturity and responsibility
  3. Bad friends
  4. Money
  5. Poverty

1. Dissatisfaction

Men change in their relationship because of nonsatisfaction. Now, dissatisfaction can mean many things. It could be simply displeasure, overall dissatisfaction in all ramifications. But, think of this, when a man stops seeing or observing the qualities that attracted a lady to him at first sight, what do you think will happen?

Now, this dissatisfaction could be that he no longer sees the beauty in his woman/girlfriend because she has stopped maintaining her beauty. Yeah! Most ladies do not keep up their beauty after getting into a relationship or marriage. Again, dissatisfaction could also mean that the lady is no longer nice to him, as she was at the beginning. So, when your man can easily lose interest in you if he stops seeing the whole positive vibes that were there at the beginning.

Talking about beauty, it could fade out early on the side of women. That’s understandable. But, some ladies stop being beautiful like an angel after getting what they want, either marriage or serious relationship, unless occasionally.

Wear sweet and romantic perfume, and smell good for him if you feel that attracted you to him. Study your man and know what he likes and try to make him happy by doing all that. In return, he will not change from caring and loving you.

2. Maturity and responsibility

As time goes on, everybody grows. And the more a man grows, the more he becomes matured and becomes more accountable to higher responsibilities. The more he becomes mature, the more he changes. Psychology explains that a man changes the more he gets matured because he will be loaded with many responsibilities the more. When a man becomes more responsible, he seems to change.

This normally happens in marriage. The responsibility of a man will make him deviate from what he has been doing as a youth. Think of when a man is 26 years, he drinks, goes for outings because he has lesser responsibility. In order to put himself to a level to meet up with his responsibilities when he becomes 35, he could change.

Study your man and know the things that border him. Try to make him happy and remind him you are always there to help him. Give him good advice and pray for him as well. Know his responsibilities, if you can, help him with some of them… Surprise him often. If he enjoys massaging, try your best and massage him, it eases off some stress after some tedious work.

3. Bad Friends

Following bad friends is one of the highest things that can make a man change from caring and loving you whether in a relationship or in a marriage.

When a man hangs out with a dangerous gang, he learns bad things he doesn’t know earlier, either smoking, drinking, or womanizing. It is said that ‘evil communication corrupts good morals’, and also ‘show me your friends and I will tell you who you are’.

In other words, men can be influenced by the thoughts, actions, and behaviors of their fellow-men when they go out with the wrong types of friends.

4. Money

Surprised? Yes, money can easily make a man to change. It could take both sides; when a man makes much money and when he becomes poor.

Unfortunately, most men go for ladies that are of low or middle class just because they (the men) don’t have enough money. And when they make money, they tempt to go for their dream girl. When this happens, the man changes automatically and starts paying less attention to you.

Again, most girls accept only men that have enough bucks on them, and so, a man who doesn’t have enough would hardly get his dream girl if his desire in on the top end. Such men probably go for the ones they can afford, and when they make money, they will probably desire to top their game to their utmost desire.

What to do?

Do you figure out that he is changing because he is now making a lot of money? Don’t frustrate him by wasting the money; using the money extravagantly or planning to get him robbed; it will not solve the problem, rather it will worsen it.

Make him understand why there is a need to always prepare for the misfortunes of tomorrow; Encourage him to save money. If possible, extort money from him and save it for both of you to use in the future.

If you are newly married and maybe have gotten little kids, make him understand those kids are growing every day, and the more they grow, the more their needs become more expensive, and without money, their needs won’t be meeting up with.

I remember one strategy of my mum when I was little. My Dad started making a whole lot of money suddenly, and the amount in his account started to influence him.

My mum then brought my brothers and I out from a particular basic school we enrolled and put us in an expensive school where the fees and quality of education are high. What happens? Much money will flow in and out. No money was wasted, and everything balanced again while having us in a more reputable school.

Just do necessary things with the money, change the curtains, and the kitchen utensils. Encourage him to invest more with his money. Tell him to build a shopping mall if the money can do it, and more.

In addition, you can help the poor and the needy. And try to give him advice and encouragements always.

If he is your boyfriend, try to encourage him to channel the money to his careers, and yours too. If he is a musician, encourage him to buy new musical instruments, tell him to start-up a personal studio. Is he a welder or an engineer? Try to encourage him to work towards having his own company. If he is a junior lecturer, encourage him to build a basic school for pupils and even go to international conferences.

How about Change Influenced by Poverty?

5. Poverty

On the other hand, if you observe that your boyfriend or your husband is changing because he is getting poor, try as much as possible to encourage him and demand less from him. Supply him with motivational and inspirational ingredients to spice up his feelings. If you have or earn more, then it is time to rescue him.

One more thing, bear it in mind that when a man is suffering in order to make it in life, he monitors how much help his woman is rendering to him, how attached you are to him even in his poor nature. So as a girl, if you continue to help him as he suffers, he will never forget you or change from loving you when he makes enough money.

Nevertheless, there are other factors that can lead to change in a relationship. Such factors as fatherhood (If he is married), emotions, loneliness, and experience. 

Finally, study your husband or boyfriend, and figure out the things he enjoys doing, and do it with him even when you don’t know how to do it. If he likes music and plays the guitar, try to play and sing with him.

Do not always surf the internet always when he is around you. If he likes football and playing games, try to compete with him and in the end, you will see how happy he will be. If he enjoys dancing, show him you can dance more than Michael Jackson.
