Promises Men Make But Rarely Keep

        There are loads of promises men make when they’re in a relationship. Unfortunately, many of these promises are going to be broken. I’m not saying men are liars! if they think a promise will make you happy, they’ll make it – even if it’s not realistic.  Here are some promises men make, but rarely keep.

1.    PROMISES ABOUT NOT BEING JEALOUS
       If you expect a man to keep this promise, you’re asking him to actively stop himself from feeling a valid emotion. Most of the time, this kind of promise doesn’t work out, but it’s very common among promises men make.
      Instead of making your man promise not to show any signs of jealousy, talk about how he can work through these feelings. Make sure he knows he has no reason to be jealous and that he can trust you 100%. 

2.    PROMISES MEN MAKE ABOUT CHECKING OUT OTHER PEOPLE
       It’s probably not possible. We see people every single day, and some of them are nice to look at.The act of checking someone out is actually a mainly subconscious response. It’s okay to tell your boyfriend you’re uncomfortable when he stares at someone for a long minute. But there’s nothing much wrong with him taking a quick, almost subconscious look and moving on; you’d probably do the same!

3.    HE PROMISES NEVER TO JUDGE YOU NO MATTER WHAT
      No matter how much someone loves you, they’ll still at times have opinions opposite to yours. They will, occasionally, think that you’re wrong. It doesn’t mean they won’t love and support you when you need it, but they will might be keeping some thoughts to themselves!

4.    MEN MAKE PROMISES ABOUT EXES
    There could be many promises men make about their exes. They say they’ll never even think about them. They say they won’t text or contact them. But these promises are easier made than kept!
        If your boyfriend tells you when his ex messages him and informs you that he’ll message back, this is a huge sign you can trust him.

5.    PROMISES TO CHANGE HIS WAYS AFTER A HUGE FIGHT
       Men make promises after a big argument. They’ll say they will turn over a new leaf immediately. They promise to put aside the behaviors that started the fight. A lot of the times, though, you need to be ready for the fact that these promises won’t come out how you expect.

6.    PROMISES MEN MAKE ABOUT HIDING THINGS
       Men always say they will never hide anything from you, but they don’t always follow through. To be clear, there’s a big difference between a dishonest relationship and a relationship with healthy personal boundaries.
       Sometimes, your boyfriend might have some personal thoughts about his life that he needs to process on alone. Try not to take it personally if he doesn’t talk about these things right away. He might need time to think about them before he’s ready to talk about them.

7.    YOU’LL BE TOGETHER FOREVER AND HE’LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU
     No one can predict the future. It’s full of twists and turns. Things can happen, people can change, feelings can alter, and couples can grow apart. Absolutely no one can predict the future and where it’s going, so even the best-laid plans can fall apart.
      This isn’t to say you should be a total skeptic, or that you shouldn’t believe your boyfriend truly loves you this much. There’s nothing wrong with positive thinking! This is just to say that you need to be aware that this promise doesn’t guarantee your future together.
