How poor emotional control can affect your relationship

Poor emotional control can affect your relationship in many different ways.This is because without emotional balance it is difficult to have a harmonious relationship.Related problems would include physical and verbal abuse.

If you are in a relationship with a man with poor emotional control,you are in for a rough ride.This is because a man with poor emotional control can very easily become violent.One of the signs of poor emotional control is frequent quarrels and fights over the simplest things like watching TV and doing the dishes.

This is especially the case if the man feels that being addressed as the head of the family means he has to be in control of every decision that is made in the family.Nobody can have that kind of control over another human being especially your wife without leading to serious emotional friction.

Such an attitude would lead to lack of exchange of ideas and thoughts when decisions are made.Unfortunately this kind of attitude can be compounded by the abuse of cultural and religious precepts. This may lead to women being shut down and any attempt to speak their mind being curtailed in the name of culture and religion.

This will invariably lead to internal frustrations which when not addressed between husband and wife can lead to very serious conflicts.

To deal with poor emotional control and its related problems every relationship should have a communications day ,when questions with regards to motives behind actions are freely asked.

How to love an imperfect man

If you are in a long term relationship ,you would have noticed that your spouse is not prince charming every day.This is something we see every day through the events we hear on the news or read in the newspapers or online.How can you then love an imperfect man?

The first step towards loving your man despite his imperfections is to remember that much as you may think your are great or wonderful, it is important to remember that we all have our flaws.This is not an excuse for obnoxious behavior from some like emotional and physical abuse.

The kind of imperfections I am taking about include things like being late for appointments,dates or shows .This is annoying but one easy way to deal with this is to be creative with your dates and time.If for example you need to be at a show at 2 O'clock tell your chronically late husband that they time for the show is 1 O'clock.By the time he bungles his way getting at around 1.40 pm ,you will still have 20 mins to make on time instead of being 30 mins late as would have happened in the past.

The other way to deal with imperfections is to fight fair.If a bad behavior annoys you,state it.Do not pretend it did not happen,however do not spend the next 40 minutes telling your husband all the things he had failed to do right since you married him 15 years ago.

You may feel good having told off your husband but he is not going to feel good about you or the fight you have just had.It isn't really fair to bring all the past errors into the moment.Stick to what is not going right this point in time and your husband will more than willing to be apologetic

This will give you a small victory; you can always build on for the future.I wish I could tell you this will end all future misunderstandings; or quarrels ,but it won't.This will only give; you an insight into what will work for both of you in the future.


The final jigsaw in the puzzle of loving your imperfect man is forgiveness.Forgive him his errors so that he can grow into the loving man you married,who can also forgive you in the future.Remember ,what goes around comes around.

If you and your imperfect man are at the point of not making up,read the magic of making up to find the ways to make up.

A Proven Plan To Win Back An Ex

Do you have a proven plan to get your ex back once you've been dumped by an ex that you're still in love with? Thus your main goal is usually to find some way to win back an ex who has broken your heart. What is usually the case though is that most people don't have a clue where to start and they either rush around sending expensive gifts or making a ton of phone calls – all of which only serve to push their exs further away.

Your opening move to win back an ex, should  be no move.Do not rush to see you ex without having a plan.It is always a good idea  to approach the mission of getting  your ex back in a calm and relaxed manner.  Do nothing that is going to make you appear as desperate and needy because again, your ex will only find it a turn off.

To get yourself in a calm and rational place, you need to take some time out from the heat and drama of the breakup.  Too often people don't take this time out and instead just panic and believe they have to win back an ex by going straight in hard from day one.

As you take this time, concentrate on the things that are going to make you feel good about yourself and what you need to keep your spirits up. It may even be helpful to make a list of the things that you enjoy doing.So make sure that you're not spending too much time on your own and that you're instead out with friends and having some fun. Truly this is possibly the last thing you want to do, but you'd be amazed how much of a difference this one step can make to your prospects of getting back with the one you love.

Do not allow yourself to get depressed.For the same reason looking after your body is key.  When you take the time to do some regular exercise and eat well, you begin to feel focused, less confused and defeatist about what you're going through.  You don't have to join a gym if that's not your thing.  You simply need to find what works for you and stick to it.  It could be as simple as a regular walk or joining a sports team or simply a regular kick around with the kids.  Anything that gets you up on your feet and has the blood pumping.

Eating plenty of  fruits and  vegetables is also part of the plan.  Don't fall into the obvious trap of over indulging where food and drink are concerned.  It might make you feel consoled initially but eventually it will ruin any chance you might have to win back an ex.  So eat well and drink in moderation.

Connect all of these points and you have the beginnings of proven plan to begin the job to win back an ex.However do not jump to conclusions just because you have a plan,you still have to implement your plans to get your ex back.

If you think you should move on then the kind of break up help you're going to need depends largely on how bad the relationship  was.  If  the end it was a major drama that really and seriously took it out of you emotionally, then without a doubt you're going to need plenty of time to recover and get over the relationship.You may even need professional help.

Taking care of yourself is always key after any emotional turmoil, but in this case where you've been tossed around and you still feel that you love your ex, it is even more key.  Don't give yourself a hard time for any decisions you made that you now feel in retrospect were wrong decisions. You did the best you could with what you had, so relax and allow yourself to be human.

Make sure that the break up help you need is to look after you and not to look after your ex and what they might be going through.  You have left them behind and though you still have strong feelings for them, they are no longer your responsibility.

If you feel you need to talk to a professional to help you put the whole relationship into perspective then you should do this as soon as possible.  In a situation where you're still feeling vulnerable and emotional, the sooner you regain your composure and any eroded self-esteem the better.

If the kind of break up help you're looking for is help to get your ex back, then you need to do some of the things outlined above, but then you also have to make sure you're implementing a strategy to bring you full circle so you can make up with your ex.

So follow what's already been outlined: taking care of yourself first and foremost, talk to a professional if you feel you have to and forget about your ex for a few weeks while you recover self-esteem and direction.

After doing all these, you then make contact with your ex.  Ask for a meeting somewhere  new and different. When you meet your ex, calmly and without being overly emotional explain that you still have feelings for them.  Explain that you've had time to think and you'd like another chance to make your relationship work. Take the time to listen to your ex and hear their point of view, you don't necessarily have to agree with them, but you need to listen.

You then give them time to think and leave to wait for them to call you.  Truth is it could go either way.  Using this break up help guarantees nothing.  Just know this, you have given it your best shot so there is no need to spend endless hours beating yourself up.

I always believe it is better to take action for something that means a lot to you than to do nothing.

location-a reason relationships end

Location can be a reason why some relationships end.This is because no many people find it difficult to keep the flame of love glowing across the Atlantic ocean.This is just an example of a long distance relationship.It doesn't have to be across the Atlantic ocean to have for location to be a factor.

Two lovers could be in the same city and be seperated by  a  prison wall.It is difficult to keep in touch when one may  be behind bars with limited access to visitors and the other person is outside struggling to make ends meet or dealing with the daily temptations that comes with freedom.Out of sight is out of mind ,unless you find ways to keep each other emotionally connected.

If you lived together with your spouse you could always find things to do together like go to the movies,go to the restaurants or even go to  theme parks with family which can help keep you emotionally connected,when you live in different parts of the country,everything becomes more challenging.You are limited to keeping in touch through phone calls ,texting or internet connections.Though these may help ,they are no substitutes for holding hands together and sharing your feelings.

I know of a friend who loved his girlfriend dearly before he traveled outside the country.Initially he called every day on the phone ,then it became weekly ,then monthly ,then when ever possible.Once I found out my friend called his beloved only 'when ever possible', I knew their relationship was in trouble.Not long after wards they broke up.

If you have a really good relationship  and one of you has to relocate on account of job demands ,I am sure you will not like to end up like my friend.Those ,who have been able to avoid the location pitfall in relationships tell me that what they did was keep in touch regularly by any means available,including phone calls and text messages.They also sent each other  surprise gifts  and took advantage of every holiday or break at work to visit each other.

They said it was a lot of hard work but in the end it made their relationship more romantic .How did they do it? Instead of allowing location to lead to the end of their relationship,they used their different locations to make things  more unpredictable and exciting,this put the spice back in their love lives.
