Lady 🐠 in relationships. "Every guy needs to be trained"? How long do I take to "train" this guy before giving up? This is so exhausting, but he's awesome. 😍

Give up now. Men are humans, not dogs. They do not need to be "trained". If you're not okay with him as he is, then you never will be. If he wants to change something, he needs to be the one to initiate and you could support.

Well. Everyone needs to be trained in courtesy and understanding the needs of others. There's a modern love column along these lines, how certain dog or child training tricks work on SOs.

Women tend to be trained from a young age to consider everyone before themselves. Some men aren't trained that way at all, and that's when I'd say, yeah, they need to be trained. I've trained male friends. But honestly who has time for all of that? I'm busy. If their mom didn't train them in youth, then I don't want them in my family. It's really that simple.

What exactly do you mean by training? I agree with the people above, you can't train a person to do everything exactly like you want it done. What you can do is work on your communication. Figure out how to address stuff that's bothering you and if it's worth being addressed, figure out how you should be communicating with your SO and let him know of any expectations you have about certain stuff. When my bf and I started dating, I would text him good night or I miss you and he would either not respond or say "thank you". I had to let him know that it hurts my feelings when he does that and that's it. I didn't yell at him, I just made my point and left it be. Granted I had to remind him of that a few times, but over a year later and that is no longer an issue. I wouldn't say I trained him, I just made him aware of how his actions were making me feel and he made the change in his own. Don't be one of those women who thinks they can change a man and dictate what he does for the rest of his life.

You can't "train" him but the most important thing I learned is that you need open and honest communication on both sides. If something bothers you, be open about it. If you find something demeaning or annoying or inappropriate, call him out and don't hold in any negative emotions. Compromise but know your limits. Also don't forget guys have an ego and that "validation" phase usually passes once you two get more comfortable and make your feelings known. It's just insecurity on his end of having someone he really likes and wanting to make sure you feel the same. Many guys especially react like that when dealing with a more direct/strong/not as "emotional" woman. Tbh took about 7-8 months and even a year in it'll come out at times but if you're committed and love his other qualities than it may be worth it to wait around. Also try bringing it up in a very sensitive way and trying to understand where he's coming from.

like

My husband was like that when we first started dating and still is. He has always had low self esteem and needs to be reassured. I'm not the "emotional" type so it took a while to get to a point that worked for both of us. His other positive qualities outweigh the negative. Nobody is perfect.

I wonder what your definition of "training" means. Most people (men and women) need to learn how to effective communicate with their partners. Everyone has their own style and methods and there is usually a level of compromise or consideration of the other person. It had nothing to do with with men and training them but just what anyone in a relationship would need to do.

So I have been seeing a guy for 4 months. We have a pay disparity.. he earns less than I do (by quite a bit). He has mentioned a few times that he’s worried I’ll get bored of him when I know he can’t afford the same things I can. I think we are beginning to move past this, but now he’s starting to mention things like ‘I am really broke this month’, and last weekend he told me his mum has lost her job and he’ll have to probably pay her rent. I have a lot of sympathy for his situation … tbc
