Most men would love to tell their significant others what they can and can’t do with every waking minute of their days and their lives. Women you must not allow this to happen.

We live in a world where some of our mothers have taught us to allow the man to run the house and rightfully so...he should do just that. You should allow your man to feel like the man of the house by letting him pay the bills if he wants to, putting gas in the cars, mowing the lawn, keeping the kids in line, and being a good provider. Some of our mothers would also tell us “Honey don’t argue with him, he’s a good man..you’ll never find another one like him. Just let him cool off a minute.” Ladies.....if your man tells you that you are not allowed to hang out with your friends or even family members for that matter, please explain to him that your father has already raised you and he didn’t send you into a marriage or a relationship to be raised again. That’s what my grandfather always say!

Most men today want their women living in a little box in which they have total control over. If you allow your man to make all the decisions about you and your life, there will come a time where you’ll be so deep into asking about what he thinks, that you won’t realize that he’s controlling you and you are allowing him to do so. We all from time to time ask our men what he thinks about our hair or our shoes, but not if we can go out with our girls this weekend. You are a grown woman. Just inform him that you are going out with your girls and allow him enough notice to keep down arguments. If he pitches a fit and starts being hostile because you want to hang out with your friends, you may need to evaluate your relationship. Why is he trying to keep you in the house? Why doesn’t he want you around your friends? Is he afraid that you might meet someone new because that’s what he does when he goes out with the fellows?

Whatever the situation, do not allow him to control you. It will ruin your self-esteem and your confidence and you will only have him to be with because you will feel less than capable of even thinking about being with another man.
