That\u2019s the way it\u2019s meant to be, but it\u2019s not always the way things are in reality.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a predictable pattern among the women who are dissatisfied in their relationship with a man and feel like they\u2019re giving too much.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>These women who give too much, are exactly the types of women who tend to <strong>lose their man to another woman<\/strong> because they just aren\u2019t aware that giving more doesn\u2019t make them suddenly become the RIGHT woman for the man.<\/p>\n<p>Despite them sinking a decade of their life into this man, he breaks up with her, then goes and marries Miss Perfect <strong><em>within 6 months of the breakup.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Since we can\u2019t expect men to be able to articulate their deepest, darkest thoughts and desires to you, I decided to write this article so that you NEVER get stuck wasting your energy, emotions and time on the wrong man ever again.<\/p>\n<p>Watch out for these 4 humiliating signs you\u2019re giving too much to a man.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the video I made for you on the 4 signs you\u2019re giving too much to him:<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"4 Humiliating Signs You&#039;re Giving Too Much to Him\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/20z-sO5BtxA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><noscript><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"4 Humiliating Signs You&#039;re Giving Too Much to Him\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/20z-sO5BtxA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_He_Has_Rules_They_Dont_Feel_Fair_To_You\"\/>#1: He Has Rules &amp; They Don\u2019t Feel Fair To You<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h2>\n<p>Some people in this world go into their relationships with a bunch of rules for what their lover has to do, and they don\u2019t bend those rules in any circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>You know that old saying, rules are made to be broken? Well, not only is it true. There\u2019s a good reason for it.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s because human resources are finite, not infinite.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>What that means is if his rules dictate that you must take full care of cooking, cleaning and the kids whilst he takes care of something else (such as building a business and bringing in money), but he\u2019d rather enforce that strict rule at any cost to you, your energy and sanity, that\u2019s unfair.<\/p>\n<p>And you\u2019ll feel it when you hit burnout.<\/p>\n<p>This is why I\u2019ve never been a fan of teaching women or men hard RULES in dating. I have guidelines, but not rules.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The only \u201crules\u201d I\u2019ve taught are related to a standard you have for yourself inside of an established relationship where two people love each other.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>These 5 rules I teach are more about giving more back to yourself, so that you\u2019re overall more emotionally resourceful inside of a relationship as well as being more emotionally resourceful for your guy.<\/p>\n<p>You can <strong>read those 5 rules to ensure success with men here.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the thing:<\/p>\n<p>Most rules people have for the other party at the start of a relationship (and years down the track) are unrealistic and eventually become unfair to one person, leading to <strong>a power struggle.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>So here\u2019s what you need to watch out for in your relationship:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If your guy has rigid rules for what you must do but you\u2019re at the point of burning out and he still insists that his rules are what you agreed upon, you might be giving too much.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Also, make sure that when you look back upon your own actions, that you feel like you\u2019ve given him ample opportunity to truly see and hear how you feel (that you\u2019re burning out).<\/p>\n<p>Because GOOD, decent men can\u2019t adjust their rules unless you express how you feel.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Even then, some men don\u2019t care because they lack empathy. Watch out for those.<\/p>\n<p><video width=\"100%\" autoplay=\"\" loop=\"\" muted=\"\" playsinline=\"\"><source src=\"https:\/\/www.thefemininewoman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/WMPA-GIF.mp4\" type=\"video\/mp4\"><\/source><\/video><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_He_Has_No_Sense_of_Reciprocity\"\/>#2: He Has No Sense of Reciprocity\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h2>\n<p>You know how much the internet hates entitled people.

Specifically among men who think women are below them just by virtue of being women, or having a <strong>predominantly feminine nature.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>They think that because women are less predictable and more emotional, that it makes their way of approaching life worthless.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>On that note, I recommend you read my article: <strong>Should Women Control Their Emotions to Be High Value?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>These men might cut you off the moment you share your feelings or literally force you to be direct like he would, rather than giving you space to express who you really are deep down inside.<\/p>\n<p>When I say force you, I really mean he\u2019s acting from his own resentment and aggressively making you fit into<em> his<\/em> box so that in his perception, everything would be more under control.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s oppressive in the same way that women oppress men by keeping their balls in a jar, or being disparaging whenever they express their <strong>masculine direction and decisions.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>MORE: The #1 Sign He\u2019s A Superior Man.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>So why are you giving too much if he is forcing you to ignore your feelings?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s because whilst you\u2019re offering up your time to be with him indefinitely, he\u2019s crushing your feminine soul and your natural gifts as a woman.<\/p>\n<p>Gifts? Yes, gifts. Your feelings matter more than most men will ever, ever know.<\/p>\n<p>Why? Because there\u2019s a huge cost to suppressing a woman\u2019s feelings.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And I\u2019m not talking about you attacking him with vitriol or making him pay for your past bad experiences here, that\u2019s your emotional residue that has nothing to do with him in the present moment.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m talking about you actually feeling your feelings.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Without feeling all of your feelings, good or bad, difficult or easy, you as a woman cannot be fully free to engage with your maternal instincts nor the depth of your nurturing.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Instead you\u2019re forced into becoming a shell of your former self, and for what?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For some guy who doesn\u2019t give a damn about how you feel? Yeah, no thanks.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Staying in a relationship like this is not only toxic to your feminine soul, it\u2019ll make you more toxic over time.
