What are Women Expected To Do in a Relationship?

I was recently tagged in a post on Facebook that contained 8 things that women should do but don’t in a relationship. I agreed with all but one of the things, so instead I decided to come up with my own things that I women should do in a relationship, but don’t.

1.       Support your man. This should go without saying, but many women lack this. I think it’s so important to support the one you’re with, if and only if the dream seems attainable. If he’s knocking on 40 and still trying to be a rapper, actor, and producer, let him know his time is up! Otherwise ladies lets support our men.

2.       Be a listening ear. I know you’re like what? Sometimes men, like many women want to vent or simply need advice on what to do. SIT AND LISTEN! And be able to give sound advice when he’s done talking.

3.       Cooking and Cleaning. Now as a woman I’m not opposed to a man cooking dinner for me, but there is nothing wrong with having a hot meal on the table when he gets in from a long day. (You can fix your own plate though). Make sure that if you guys are married or co-habituating that you keep the house clean. (Fellas there is nothing wrong with picking up after yourselves)

4.       Give him some breathing room. If you’re not a woman who doesn’t like sports, then give him his breathing room during March Madness or Football season. Let him enjoy his sports without you breathing down his neck or asking him a billion and on questions. Aside from that ladies, don’t be clingy unless that’s the arrangement that you and your man have, trust it’s okay to go a couple hours without each other.

5.       Know what your man needs. This is important whether sexually or emotionally it’s important that we know what our man needs are in order to properly fulfill them.  Sometimes as women we are so focused on getting our needs met that we tend to forget the needs of our man. It’s okay to cater to your man ladies.

6.       Never get too comfortable. It comes a point in every relationship where you get too comfortable. You stop doing your hair. When you went on dates you would dress up, now its sweats and converse. You use to be in the gym getting your body right, now you sit and watch re-runs of your favorite show with a tub of ice cream in hand. Let’s put an end to this.  Look good for your man, the object is to keep him and keep him interested in YOU, not the chick walking by.

7.       Last but not least act like a lady. This should not need further explanation, but if it does then nine times out ten you haven’t been acting as such, so you should probably Google what it means.
