7 Things NOT to do if You Want to Keep Your BF ...

Holly

Every man has a different personality, but once they enter a serious relationship, there are a few things that are universally true. The biggest thing is that he wants you to enhance his life, not ruin it. If you've been together for a while, then the former is probably the case. However, if you're worried about him thinking otherwise, here are a few things that you should know that he's hoping you'll never do:

1. Stop Caring about Your Appearance

Even though your boyfriend loves you for your personality, he loves the way you look, too. That's why he'll secretly be upset if you stop wearing those cute dresses and going to the gym. He probably won't admit it, but he wants you to keep taking care of your appearance.

2. Start a Fight with His Parents

Even if he knows that his parents are unreasonable people, he's going to pray that you never get into an argument with them. After all, the holidays will be much easier on him if his girlfriend and his mother are happy to see each other. He won't expect you to become best friends with his parents, but he definitely hopes that you two will be able to stand being in the same room together.

3. Make Him Choose between You and His Friends

No man wants to be forced to choose between going on a date with his girlfriend and hanging out with the boys. That's why he'll hope you never make him choose between his love life and his friendships. If he could have it his way, he'd spend an equal amount of time with the both of you, so that everyone would be happy.

4. Get Tired of Him

Relationships are always thrilling in the beginning. However, once you're together for a while, the mystery and excitement will fade. That's why your boyfriend hopes that you won't grow tired of him and move on to someone new.

5. Cheat on Him

No one wants to get cheated on, especially by someone that they really trust. That's why your boyfriend hopes you'll never betray him. If you do, then he'll either have to leave you or learn to live with your deception. It's not an easy decision, which is why he'll hope you'll do him a favor and remain loyal to him for as long as you're together.

6. Try to Change Him

If your man wants to lose weight, then you should support him. However, if he doesn't have a problem with his body, then you shouldn't push him to change. If you do, then he'll wonder why you're even in a relationship with him when you're unhappy with the way he looks and acts.

7. Pressure Him into Marriage

It's healthy to let your man know where you see your future heading. However, you shouldn't try to pressure him into marriage before he's ready, just like he shouldn't try to pressure you into sex before you're ready. A lot of men (and women) are afraid of commitment. If you push them to move faster than they're comfortable with, then you might push them away instead.

If you do one of these things, it doesn't mean that your relationship is headed for the rocks. Even though your boyfriend doesn't want these things to happen, he can still handle them if you're in a strong relationship. Have you done any of these things to your boyfriend?

Yes I cheated...I really don't know why and he will never forgive me for it so please don't cheat!!!

i did all these to my ex, no wonder he treated me like shit

And women want the same things from guys

I agree with two bad move I know someone who behaved like and she had to come begging to the parents of his boyfriend looking sheepish and foolish on the process bad move .

I think I forced him to be my man. And I told him that I didn't want the relationship if he thought I was forcing him to make a decision on making me his lady. He says I didn't force him but I think otherwise.

It's good to have some patience and respect for your husband/boyfriend's parents. You love their son and he's the way he is because of them. Try and remember that when they're being difficult. It's also hard for them to know that his wife/girlfriend doesn't like them, because they know how much of an influence you can be to him. Just a couple reasons to try and be a bit nicer to his parents! Try make them see that they've gained a lovely daughter! In my religion, we are taught not to sever the bonds of kinship, so it'll be good if you make it easier for your husband not to do that!xx

Your boyfriend shouldn't be upset if you don't go to the gym.

No, never. None of the above.

Typo of her boyfriend
