Great Advice from my Mum

I'm so glad i have my mum to teach me the following, & I'm glad I'm able to share them with you.
well she sent it to me..but i prefer thinking it was a 'her-to-me' kinda tihing

If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away.If he doesn't want you, nothing can make him stay.

Stop making excuses for a man and his behavior.Allow your intuition (or spirit) to save you from heartache.

Stop trying to change yourself for a relationship that's not meant to be.
Slower is better.

Never live your life for a man before you find what makes you truly happy.
If a relationship ends because the man was not treating you as you deserve then hell no, you can't 'be friends'. A friend wouldn't mistreat a friend.

Don't settle.
If you feel like he is stringing you along, then he probably is.

Don't stay because you think 'it will get better' You'll be mad at yourself a year later for staying when things are not better.
The only person you can control in a relationship is you.


Always have your own set of friends separate from his.

Maintain boundaries in how a guy treats you.
If something bothers you, speak up..

Never let a man know everything.* He will use it against you later.
You cannot change a man's behavior.* Change comes from within.

Don't EVER make him feel he is more important than you are...Even if he has more education or in a better job.
Never let a man define who you are.

Never borrow someone else's man.
If he cheated with you, he'll cheat on you.

A man will only treat you the way you ALLOW him to treat you.
All men are NOT dogs.

You should not be the one doing all the bending , Compromise is two way street.
You need time to heal between relationships...

There is nothing cute about baggage...
Deal with your issues before pursuing a new relationship

You should never look for someone to COMPLETE you , a relationship consists of two WHOLE individuals...
Do not make him into a quasi-god.He is a man, nothing more nothing less.

Look for someone complimentary. Not supplementary.
Dating is fun...even if he doesn't turn out to be Mr. Right.

Make him miss you sometimes... when a man always know where you are, and you're always readily available to him - he takes it for granted
Never move into his mother's house.. Never co-sign for a man.

Don't fully commit to a man who doesn't give you everything that you need.
Keep him in your radar but get to know others.

Scared of being alone is what makes a lot of women stay in relationships that are abusive or hurtful
You should know that:
You're the best thing that could ever happen to anyone and if a man mistreats you, he'll miss out on a good thing. If he was attracted to you in the 1st place, just know that he's not the only one. They're all watching you, so you have a lot of choices .. Make the right one.

and finally darling take care of your own heart....

  3. "If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away"
    except her strict No ya aunti..and the realization of where he stands and the horror that he represents,it puts him on zero throttle.

    iben il 3alam ou il nas,can only honor banat il 3alam wil nas and their decisions...God I wish I've met you,you seem so interesting and understanding,you'll never meet me but just know that The Man of the holly city,thinks so high of you.

    night aunti.
