Giving Your Husband the Space He Needs

-
It's said that marriage is very easy yet remaining married isn't. Maintaining a happy marital relationship takes work on both sides, and something men in some cases complain about is that they are not getting adequate space. The specifics of what "area" means are different for each and every couple. Try not to take it personally if your husband desires some separation, whether physical or mental. Hopefully he'll return the favor when you need room.

Stay where you are. Don't chase him if he leaves-- this could cause him to run even much faster, accordance with Harriet Lerner, Ph.D., writer of "Marriage Rules: A Handbook for the Married and Coupled Up," in the "Good House cleaning" post "How to Reconnect With Your Spouse." Obviously, you can not wait for him forever, but you could let him understand that you will sit tight in the meantime and wait for him to return as well as talk things out.

Dial back a bit. Soften your tone, take a deep breath and also try not to over-step your bounds. This may imply only texting him when necessary, letting him make mistakes instead of giving suggestions, as well as not grilling him about every detail of his day.

Create a physical area for him. Let's face it: For the most parts, the residence is the wife's territory, and your husband may really feel that he has no place to go for a breather. Make a "man cave" for him in the extra bed room, garage or basement that is his alone. This small gesture will make him feel good and love you even more for thinking about his needs' Like I said before, don't take it personally (it's a man type of thing)!

Motivate him to making new friends and go out for "guys' night." It's possible that your husband needs for space is actually a need for some male friendship.

Concentrate on yourself. As opposed to obsessing over where your husband is as well as just what he is doing, concentrate on your needs and what you can do to take care of yourself and to feel better. This may consist of beginning a regular workout program or taking up a new hobby.

Suggest therapy. Don't do this too quickly-- give him his space for about 3 months first. If things don't improve, think about seeing a marital relationship therapist either one by one or together. His needs for space may be indicative of greater issues in your marital relationship.

Life After Infidelity; You Decide If You Can Save Your Marriage or Not

A marriage is a very important and sacred pact between two people. We are raised to believe that once those vows are taken we can trust our spouse for the rest of our lives. However this does not always go as we might hope. Since none of us are able to read minds we can never truly know someone. On top of that people change over time, so the person you fell in love with may be someone entirely different today. Even if you both love each other, times change and you might grow bored with the same old routine. This is the reason for most affairs, one spouse simply grows tired of the dull routine and wants to try something different. While it is far from acceptable it is understandable and understanding is the first step to healing your marriage. While a lot of people would end their marriage after this act of betrayal, people often still love each other and might want to salvage their relationship even after this mistake. But how can you trust them ever again after they back stabb...

Stop Playing Games With Your Marriage

As hard as it is to understand, couples still play games with each other after they're married. To be blunt, this game playing is hazardous to the health of the marriage relationship and should be avoided at all costs. There simply is no place for it in a happy marriage. Aha! Maybe that's the point. If you or your spouse are always playing games, then it could be taken as a sign that your marriage isn't as happy as it could be. Or, perhaps the situation is worse and your marriage is in real trouble. Even if it is humming along nicely, the very fact that mind games are being played means there is room for improvement. Of course we are talking about mind games up to this point. This may be referred to as manipulation, deceit, laying guilt trips or otherwise being dishonest about what's really going on. however, there are other types of marriage games that you can play. What we are talking about here are more purposeful games that both of you play together. There isn...
