Change this, change that
At the start of each new year, we often set goals and objectives we want to achieve, whether in our personal or professional lives. For the people below, these include changes they want their significant others to make for the year ahead.DG:
At the start of each new year, we often set goals and objectives we want to achieve, whether in our personal or professional lives. For the people below, these include changes they want their significant others to make for the year ahead.
DG:
I don’t like his way of resolving conflicts in our relationship or his immediate reaction when I bring something to his attention which we need to discuss. Some men believe they should be aggressive and authoritative. That’s my biggest problem with my partner at the moment.
NC:
For 2016 I would love to see my partner change his spending habits. When he’s not spending money or borrowing money to spend on repairing or adjusting his car, he’s buying new clothes and jewellery, partying, purchasing things to be in the loop with his peers, and when he cannot pay for many of these things or the food on our date nights, I end up with the responsibility of paying because he comes directly to me to assist him.
AS:
My partner has come up with some ideas which he believes will make our relationship more exciting, but which I am not for. That’s what I would like him to change for the new year. He needs to get rid of those ideas before I get rid of him.
AG:
She still lives with her mother, and most evenings after work, all she does is go home, take long baths, do stuff she says she needs to get done, then falls asleep as soon as we start Skyping. I am getting tired of it. For 2016, I want her to find more time for me.
GR:
She has a habit of wanting to always pay the bill or her portion of the bill when we go out. As the man, I believe she should allow me to pay for our food on dates. She always wants to grab the bill first or join the food line ahead of me to pay for the food. I get that she wants to be independent, but it’s making me less attracted to her. It shows that her faith in me is weak in providing for us and our future family if that should happen.
RA:
The girl I am dating does professional writing for work, and when we go out with my friends, she is always on her phone, and always says she is writing something as an excuse. I know she’s not writing anything for work, that’s just her excuse for not wanting to engage in conversation with our friends.
KT:
She’s not available when I need her. I get that my girlfriend is a workaholic, but most times when I want to go out and do fun stuff she’s either at work or doing something important. Then she pops up out of the blue and expects me to drop all I am doing and find time for her. I’m heartbroken when she can’t find time for me.
