How to be offended by a man? Tips and useful information

We continue the theme of the last article “For a man to want to move mountains for you!” And even cook dinner"

about an effective model of behavior that makes your beloved man want to take care of you and do what YOU need.

And today we will figure out how to properly be offended by a man, so as not to ruin your relationship with him, and not push him away from you.

“When should you be offended?
Your latest article “For a man to want to move mountains for you!” And even cook dinner” helped me a lot. But! But having achieved my plan, I immediately ruined everything. When should you stop with grievances and claims? When should you forgive? And is it worth being angry at all?
The story is this: I told my man (the relationship was only 2 months old) that on March 8 I want flowers, a hotel and him for the whole night. The problem is that the car is not his, as I understand it, and his mother always calls him at 11 o’clock in the evening. In the end, I received - NOTHING. Only congratulations in the form of SMS. As it turned out, he was not given a car that day and he could not come. But he asked me to allow him to rectify the situation - to come and congratulate me three days later. To which I replied that I didn’t want to see him now, and that I was offended.
This is where I probably stepped - for me, being offended was more important than forgiving and enjoying the meeting. When should you stop taking offense? This is the first turn in life, in my opinion, when everything could be corrected and the situation turned positive. But I chose to be offended.
Secondly, after reading your article about proper manipulation, I simply wrote to him that I really want a bathroom with strong male hands now :)) Things started to get better - “with whose hands exactly, dear?” After three questions, I admitted that I wanted his hand :). Bottom line: he wondered where there are hotels with a beautiful bathroom? I didn’t know, so I instructed him to find... And then I ruined everything by writing that I would meet him in the evening only when I had a bathroom, a hotel and him :), and if all this doesn’t happen, then I just want to meet him, talk... Then she added that I’m on my period.
Why am I so stupid?! In the end, it happened: first, thanks to your recommendations, I managed to create a situation where he himself wanted to please me; and then I set a condition - if you don’t do this, I won’t meet with you.
How to learn to stop on time? Value yourself, perhaps, and not look like a capricious woman who blows her mind?”
Olesya.

Olesya, let's study the method of training men in more detail (by the way, this method also works great for women, as well as for children, fathers-in-law, dogs and others :)).

So, you write that you want a gift from a man. First, you need, as I have said many times, to take into account all the REAL capabilities of a man

(unfortunately, you didn’t know about them). As a result, he was unable to give you a gift, although he promised and intended to.

This always happens, and even happens in long-term family relationships, because we cannot take into account all the current nuances. For example, a wife asked her husband to go to the Maldives, but he could not get tickets - for a variety of unforeseen reasons. Either she asked him to renovate the bathroom, but he was not given leave, or a bonus, or, for objective reasons, he was not yet able to do something, buy, negotiate...

Often after this women behave like fools, i.e. they get offended and spoil the whole positive charge of a man.

Let's look at this using the example of the chicken from the previous article.

So, we give the chicken a grain as it turns left (so that in perspective it will start circling to the left). You fed him grains, and he began to figure out where to turn. And now you expect him to turn left completely. But he doesn’t turn and doesn’t turn, well, at least crack. Well, he can’t do it. What do you do?

You get offended , turn away from the chicken, and wait for it to figure it out on its own - and start spinning to where you want it. But the chicken doesn't spin! (he’s not a telepath or clairvoyant enough to figure out what you want from him...)

And then what do you start doing? You swear at the chicken.

What do we get in the end? The chicken is confused, you are angry with it, you don’t praise it, you don’t give it grains... You yourself don’t get what you need from it - and everyone is a loser...

But they don’t train the same way! This does not work! And it will never work!

Let's look at Olesya's situation:

She became friends with the man and began to like him. She trained him with the help of her sweet behavior, praise, admiration for him, etc. And now this man began, just like our chicken, to do what she needed - to look after her and behave like her fiancé.

Next, Olesya decided to get it from the chicken, i.e. from her boyfriend, not just a turn, but a full circle to the left - she asked him for a gift, lured him with praise and the promise of something more - and began to wait.

But the man didn’t succeed for objective reasons. What then should Olesya do?

She needed to continue training further.

But she lost her temper, got offended (which, as we know, doesn’t work), and began to get angry and swear. Then she decided to continue training, and again fed the chicken grain, i.e. your man with affection, request and promise of pleasure.

There would be no need to sit and wait now. But she needs everything at once! So she took the unfortunate chicken and began to move it to the left, saying: “Look what I want from you!”

But the poor guy doesn’t understand this! And he won’t understand! He simply decided that he was being bullied, and therefore became confused, and generally stopped doing what was required of him. Falling into confusion, the trainee forgets even what he did before; even a small turn to the left has now become impossible for him. Why?

Because he was literally raped, and he lost the desire to obey the trainer at all. It’s the same with a man: when PRESSURE is put on him, he loses the desire to do anything at all for a woman.

What Olesya saw with her own eyes.

Causes of grievances

Women get offended quite often, and not only at their men. A lady can be annoyed by her acquaintances, relatives and friends. But the girl is not afraid to express her grievances to them. But for some reason a man is afraid to say the reasons for his dissatisfaction. The lady thinks that a man will leave a woman if she always gets offended by him and nags him for something. But men react normally to women’s grievances. It seems to the stronger half of humanity that ladies pout with or without reason. But still, no matter how men feel about women’s logic, it exists. And any offense has its logical basis. Why do women get offended? The most popular reasons:

The man did not live up to expectations. A lady may throw a tantrum if she expected her husband to hang up the purchased shelf after work, but the man decides to put off this work for the weekend. After work, the young man is tired and needs time to rest. A woman who wanted to arrange books and vases today may simply boil with rage.
The young man does not understand subtle hints. Women rarely express their desires directly. They veil their desires by throwing a thin veil of beautiful words over them. The male brain simply cannot discern a subtle hint in a web of phrases. But the woman does not understand how it is possible not to hear obvious things.
Ordinary. A lady who has no hobbies and spends all her free time at home can be very jealous of her man. Moreover, a woman will be jealous not only of her female acquaintances, but also of the guy’s friends.

Speak, not be silent

It is unlikely that your man is a fortune teller or telepath who is able to voice your thoughts.
Therefore, there is no point in remaining silent and sulking for some time. Is there something you're not happy with? Then just tell your man about it, most likely he had no intention of offending you with his words or actions. Just don’t shout and swear, otherwise the man will take a “pose” and begin to renounce all your accusations. Explain in clear, simple phrases what hurt or offended you, this will allow your partner to quickly understand their mistakes and correct the situation.

Resentment from boredom

The most common grievances of women occur due to too ordinary life. If there is no variety during a calm and measured life, then the lady will decide to add variety on her own. The girl will not ask herself the question of whether she should be offended by a man. Of course, one should be offended by the faithful if he does not take his chosen one to the movies or theaters. Therefore, the lady will make scandals every evening, and then effectively pout and go to another room. The reasons for the offense may not immediately reach the guy. After all, the reason and reasons for the scandal may well be different. For example, a lady will throw a tantrum over unwashed dishes, but in reality she will passionately want to take a walk with her lover under the moon. Tantrums don't work that bad. They tire the guy, and the man will think about how he can make amends for his guilt, for example, for unwashed plates. With a similar question, a man can turn to a girl, who, as a reconciliation, will tell the guy to go with her to the cinema or for an evening walk. Thus, hysteria and subsequent resentment will bear fruit.

Punishment for a guy: what you can and cannot do

When a woman is humiliated, betrayed or deceived, she experiences a feeling of confusion, despair, resentment, and psychological breakdown. A sense of justice is inherent in man by nature, and the instinct of self-defense prompts him to resort to revenge in order to get rid of the feeling of humiliation.

When you can't do without punishment

Before deciding whether to punish a man, understand the nature of your offense. The reasons can be imaginary (far-fetched) and real. For example, should you consider that you were underestimated and be offended if you were given a bouquet rather than a basket of roses? Of course, every girl expects crazy actions and grand gestures from her partner, but these are only her expectations.

The nature of such resentment was explained by the famous psychologist Mikhail Labkovsky. He claims that this is actually self-deception, a contrived reason. So is it worth taking revenge if your expectations do not coincide with reality? Probably not. To avoid disappointment and spoil your relationship with petty grievances, voice your intentions, expectations and needs to your partner.

However, there are situations in which resentment is justified. Writer, coach, psychologist Lev Vozhevatov determines what offenses a man cannot be forgiven:

assault;
withdrawal from solving the problems of your loved one;
wasting your partner’s finances on another woman;
open and even demonstrative relationships with other ladies;
alcoholism, drug addiction.

What to do if these factors gave rise to deep resentment? Should I swallow the bitterness and come to terms with it or take revenge and punish my partner? In this case, exercise discretion:

If thoughts of revenge come after a conversation with a friend, mother or sister, the desire to teach a man a lesson comes up only occasionally, give up revenge.
When the offense does not go away, causes moral pain and prevents you from sleeping peacefully, it is advisable to punish the offender.

Candidate of psychological sciences, writer Nadezhda Mayer says that resentment cannot be hushed up. Unexpressed dissatisfaction has a destructive effect on both partners and can lead to a deterioration in the relationship, a cooling of feelings, and even a complete breakup.

When forgiveness occurs only externally, but deep down the resentment remains, it torments the woman and turns into poison, which destroys not only her personality, but also everything around her. The lady becomes sarcastic, cold, and distant, which negatively affects the relationship. If a woman cannot sincerely forgive a man in her heart, the offense cannot be ignored.

What an offended woman should not do

Do you want to save your relationship? Psychologist, art therapist Alla Demidenko writes that in such a situation the most destructive and incorrect attitude is “I will never forgive him!” If the partner realizes the mistake and understands the guilt, then satisfaction is received, the woman’s personal boundaries are restored and there is no longer any point in being offended.

The famous psychologist Anna Iotko believes that one should not hush up an insult and wait for a man to guess what exactly caused her mental pain. When a woman is silent or only hints at her partner that she is offended, the relationship becomes toxic. In 90% of cases, the man does not understand the hints and has no idea what exactly is bothering his beloved, so he believes that she is “training” him.

Psychologist, writer, coach Alla Folsom says that to punish a man you cannot:

prove him wrong, teach him about life;
manipulate and control;
suspect, violate personal boundaries;
show aggression.

Psychotherapist and crisis consultant Evgeniy Maseev says that it is absolutely forbidden to punish a guy with silence and ignoring him. Such psychological manipulation does not solve the problem, but makes the partner feel insignificance and acute emotional loneliness, and feel that he has been abandoned.

If such manipulation enters the life of a couple, the man loses self-esteem, motivation, and becomes depressed. As a result, both partners become unhappy and break up.

Psychologist and NLP master Valeria Lepet says that a woman should not punish a man with a ban on intimacy. Excluding sex will negatively affect his physical health, which in the future will boomerang on the woman herself.

This method leads the couple to a destructive, manipulative relationship in which both partners are in a negative emotional environment. Valeria says that male infidelity occurs precisely in those couples in which the lady manipulates her partner through sex.

Resentment for the sake of reconciliation

But a lady is not always offended in order to receive some benefit or to achieve something. Sometimes a woman throws tantrums in order to add some sparkle to the relationship. How to show a man that you are offended? A lady can find a trivial reason for a quarrel, and then, depending on her mood, burst into tears, slam the door and go to her friend’s, lock herself in the bathroom, or stop talking to the man. Each of these methods is good in its own way. If a lady quickly develops a scandal out of nothing to do, then it will end just as quickly. The man will try to calm his wife down, but this is exactly what the woman needed. A stormy reconciliation will be the girl’s reward for her good acting work. And if the lady intends to perform her performance all evening, then you need to leave the apartment and not tell the man where you are going. Let him suffer and look for you. Such quests show a young man how much he really needs a girl.

How to apologize if you offended a man

I offended a man - what should I do? Psychologists always advise asking for forgiveness. But few know how to do it correctly. First of all, it is necessary to understand what exactly hurt him so much. Then try to calmly explain to your loved one why you acted this way, and promise him that if it hurts him so much, it won’t happen again.

If you have offended your loved one and he is very upset, you will have to take many steps in order to receive his forgiveness. He will deliberately ignore you, so get his attention first. To do this, give your partner a small gift, dress attractively, or cook a romantic dinner. And when you can talk, try to calmly explain your actions and apologize.

You can even prepare for such a conversation in advance. And the main thing you need to do is stay calm. Even if the man is very emotional. Resist the urge to respond in kind. You will achieve the desired effect only when you calm him down and your conversation becomes constructive. Otherwise, conflict is inevitable. He will make the situation worse, and your partner may even hurt you in return. As a result, the problem will remain unresolved. But if your couple has mutual feelings, you will definitely cope with any troubles.

How to behave

Have you decided to put on a beautiful performance, but don’t know how to behave? If you are offended by a man, then you need to remain silent. Don’t tell the guy the reason for your offense, let him rack his brains. Representatives of the stronger sex are very logical and will look for an explanation for your behavior today. But girls are not such logical creatures. They may be offended by something a guy said a week ago. Therefore, you can subtly hint to your faithful one in what area and on what day to look for the answer to the question of your grievance.

In addition to riddles, the guy can be interrogated. You should, under the guise of a scandal, ask the guy what doesn’t suit him about you. When a person is in an excited state, he cannot tell a lie. Therefore, collect statistics on the changes that the young man expects from you, and change in accordance with his requirements.

You can leave home during major scandals. Be sure to turn off your phone so that the young man is more worried about you and goes to look for you, rather than conducting telephone conversations from the apartment. But for the guy’s search to be successful, he must know exactly the places you could go.

Take a time out

You feel burning resentment and even rage, tears are already treacherously coming to your eyes, you want to cry and succumb to a storm of emotions that will most likely spill out on your loved one in the form of hurtful words and insults.
Stop! The first thing you need to do is take a time out. Literally step away for a few minutes, go to another room if it’s hard to restrain yourself while being next to your lover. You can always pick up more counterarguments and soberly justify your own point of view if you communicate without being at the mercy of emotions!

Tricks of manipulation

What irritates the stronger sex the most? That's right, women's tears. This secret weapon must be used in the correct dosage during a manipulation scandal. How to be offended by a man? If you want to get some benefit from a young man, then you can put pressure on his subconscious and make the man guilty of something. For example, throw a tantrum on the topic: you don’t love me at all, but I’m trying so hard for you. Any man will be perplexed by these words and feel that he is really not trying as hard as he could. And the lady needs to cry to confirm her words. Such a scene will definitely touch the guy’s heart, and he will agree to any action that you currently need from him. When playing such grievances, do not go too far. All you can afford are tears and a broken voice. You can express only one grievance, and not all that have accumulated in your soul over the many years of life together.

Clearly define the problem

Before starting a dialogue, it is necessary to clearly determine what outcome is needed. “So as not to be late, don’t forget to call back” - the more precisely the problem is identified, the more constructive the dialogue will be. And more than 50% of claims will disappear on their own.

Often a man is not even aware that he has offended his beloved woman. The way male psychology is structured is that they are much more willing to accept direct speech. And from beating around the bush, they get tired before you have time to get to the point, and they simply stop hearing, considering the dialogue pointless. Be on his wavelength - talk directly about what worries and offends you, and how he could fix it.

The nature of the feeling of resentment. How to cope?

Psychological versus physical violence

In what cases can a woman deservedly be offended by a man? If a young man decides to prove his position with his fists, the woman should be very offended by the man. You can run to the room and collect your things. In this case, you just need to cry and lament. The lady should be told that she will not tolerate such treatment and move out of the house. You can run away to a friend or to your mother. The man will come with an apology that same evening. But you shouldn’t forgive the person who hurt you or wanted to do it on the first day. You need to wait two or three days and then return. And when you return, be sure to inform the man that if such a scene repeats, you will leave forever.

What can offend a man

No two men are the same. Therefore, you should not make the mistake of viewing them within the narrow framework of a certain type or category. Everyone has their own rich inner world. And what may seem insignificant to one may offend another. Of course, there are common points between them too. Just like between women. But can you put yourself 100% into any category?

A man is offended by a woman, what should I do? There are thousands of different actions, words and situations that can deeply hurt him. And only a woman can understand each specific case. As a rule, a man gets offended if you didn’t do something the way he wanted. Perhaps you made an expensive purchase without consulting him? Or is the reason for his silence due to your incessant idle chatter?

What to do when your partner leaves home without explanation? Try to understand how you offended him. Angry screams after each other will definitely lead to a quarrel. Therefore, think about your actions and statements in advance. Remember the last conversation: how exactly could you offend your loved one so much?

You can offend a man not only by your actions and words - your social circle also plays a big role. Situations often occur when a woman’s friends behave too freely or discuss her partner in his presence. And then she pays for it. Therefore, remember well: relationships with your loved one should not concern anyone other than the two of you. What should you do in this case? Make it clear to your friends that it is indecent to discuss intimate moments. And the main thing is not to tell the details of your relationship yourself.

Resentment as a learning tool

Your boyfriend can't understand how to behave? How to properly be offended by a man so that he understands what can be done and what cannot be done? You can use all available methods. Tears work best, but languid, judgmental glances will also help you achieve your goals. You can lock yourself in a room and not leave for a long time, or you can go for a walk around the evening city and not return home for a long time so that the guy starts to worry about you. The phone should remain at home at this moment. What can you teach a guy in this way? Punctuality, good attitude towards you, romantic actions and being true to your word. If the mother did not instill good manners in the young man, this does not mean that you cannot cope with such a task. It's worth a try anyway.

Be true to your word

I warned you - do it! We discussed all the points, but he again violated the terms - hold your position. This time your man will definitely take you seriously. Otherwise, your grievances will become a habit, and he will not respond to “ultimatums” at all.

However, don’t forget about the promised bonuses. If a man listened and heard, and also did everything that was required of him, encourage him. This will encourage him to compromise more often.

Using these techniques, you can profitably get out of any unpleasant and offensive situation.

Resentment towards husband's relatives

You can be offended not only by the guy, but also by his family. There is no point in reproaching people for anything, at least don’t do it directly. You can subtly hint to your boyfriend what exactly it is about his relatives that irritates you. How to be offended by a man? You must show displeasure whenever you return from the guy's in-laws. Don't say directly that the young man's mother hates you. Tell her that she disapproves of your relationship. You need to ensure that the man talks to his parent and instills in her the idea that you are a good woman, and not an evil witch who has set herself the goal of recapturing her son. In this case, there is no point in being demonstratively offended. Still, you should treat the young man and his relatives with warmth.

List of things to be offended about

There are reasons that serve as valid reasons for resentment. There are not many of them, so it’s not difficult to remember all the points:

The guy didn't keep his word. A stranger who owes nothing, but not a loved one, can promise but not fulfill.
Physical impact. The use of fists serves not only as a reason for resentment, but also as a motive for separation.
Insults, humiliation. Hurtful words sometimes hurt more than physical impact, so it is unacceptable to allow such behavior towards yourself from a loved one.
Manipulation. Holding grudges often serves as an interesting way of responding to attempts to exploit and emotionally suppress. However, there is one piece of advice: if a girl is dealing with a real abuser, then she should think not about resentment, but about breaking up.

READ What to do if a girl is constantly offended by trifles

It is better to react immediately than to accumulate grievances

A person should not harbor evil in his soul. How to be offended by a man? The girl must immediately express all the dissatisfaction she is experiencing at the moment. There is no point in accumulating negativity in your soul. Then, from unexpressed grievances, the nervous system will begin to weaken, and you don’t need that. Moreover, the frankness that is practiced in a couple will help you maintain a good relationship for many years and not hide anything from your partner.

Emotions are a dish that should be served cold

Resentment deprives you of peace and prevents you from thinking rationally. No matter how difficult it is, there should not be hysterics - the mechanism of retaliatory aggression will work instantly, and the situation will leave much to be desired.

No matter how illogical it may sound, you must first come to terms with it, and only then be offended. Sanity is an additional argument in your favor. In this case, the man is guaranteed to feel guilty, and he will definitely pay attention to the claims made.

Forgiveness does not mean forgetting everything

The man is offended and does not speak

Sometimes it depends on the type of man. Let's look at four types in a woman's life:

A man for the game. A short or long affair with him always ends with your “favorite” bouquet of negative emotions. It is quite simple to understand that this is a man for the game: you will often catch yourself feeling that this has already happened in your life. Games tend to repeat themselves, only the faces change, but the plot and pain are the same.
Script man. There are always a lot of emotions, passions and pain with him. It is with this man that your heart skips a beat and your legs give way. There are always a lot of tragedies and disappointments here. You can understand that you are following a script by immersing yourself in a childish state. Of course, it is better to do this with the help of a psychologist. The script man is bad because there is no deep true love here and there never will be. It is precisely such relationships that are said to be toxic.

Take your gifts!
Karmic man - this was the case with your mother, your grandmother, and you. It hurts, it’s bad, but you can’t part with him. It’s unbearable to be with him, and there’s no life without him. This chain can be broken using transpersonal therapy techniques. Now there are many powerful techniques in psychology that work with deep role-playing scenarios.
A man for life - everything is calm and smooth here. There are emotions, but they are always with a working head. In a relationship with such a man, you develop and blossom.

Consequences of Vulnerability

In addition to frequent conflicts and quarrels that lead to the breakdown of relationships, offended people expose their bodies to constant stress. No one has canceled psychosomatics, so any negativity that we accumulate inside can ultimately result in the development of serious diseases. Unwilling or unable to forgive, we occupy our thoughts with self-pity, accusations and anger. Definitely, this interferes with enjoying life, creates a feeling of chronic dissatisfaction, and becomes the cause of irritability and nervousness.

Why do men get offended by women?

How paradoxical is the desire to receive love.

Imagine that you have been harboring a grudge against someone for a long time. Your accusations are definitely directed at someone - one person or a group of people - it doesn’t matter. You hid it within yourself for a long time, keeping it inside, without giving it away or discussing it. Now imagine that:

Everyone agreed with you;
You're right;
those others are guilty before you;
You achieved what you wanted

So, what is next? What have you achieved? From whom did you want to receive recognition and what does this recognition look like?

Often, in such a situation, a person immediately begins to understand who exactly his offense was addressed to (often this is one of the parents), and what he wanted to get from this person:

recognition that he is good,
that he is worthy to receive love,
that he understands from whom exactly he wanted to receive this love and recognition all this time.

That is, here the main goal of the accuser is to receive the love that he could not receive before. A person may suddenly realize that his accusations to other people are directed at the wrong address, that there is a primary source, the person from whom he expects love and recognition. He suddenly realizes that his accusations did not help him get this love, but rather prevented him from doing so.

But he sees no other means of achieving this goal. On a subconscious level, this person would like to punish the source of love for its lack and at the same time receive satisfaction, receive the desired recognition and love.

The point here is that a person, with his grievances and restrained accusations, blocks his ability to receive the love that he so desires to receive from a particular person. Subconsciously, it seems to a person that his resentment gives him some ghostly chance that he will finally receive this love.

Therefore, giving up your grievances can be very difficult due to strong resistance, due to the fear of losing this chance.
