domineering men... ?

Question

how to spot them and avoid them?

sometimes, you choose a man who looks "harmless", but you end up taking all his crap and suddenly you realized that he's being an jerk, but you're trapped in that relationship, until he finally declares a breakup...

anyways, how to avoid them?

Answer 1

Looks mean nothing. What did your instints tell you?

Answer 2

First of all, you should never feel "trapped" in a relationship. If you're not married, you have nothing holding you in that relationship. You have free will. You should be the one declaring the breakup...not him.Next time don't wait for the jerk to decide to blow you off...get rid of him at the first sign of "jerkiness". Be more aware of the signs next time. Does he call when he says he will? Does he show up when he says he'll be there? If not, call it off right away. Try being friends with a guy first. The best relationships start from friendship & trust.

Answer 3

Sorry sister. There's no sure fire way to spot a domineering jerk before you get close to him. You have to become more willing to break it off as soon as you figure out that he's one of those guys. You shouldn't consider yourself "trapped" in any relationship. Unless he's got a gun to your head, or you're chained up in the basement, you are never trapped. You may find yourself in a bad relationship and not want to leave (because most women believe that any man is better than nothing) but remember there's a great guy out there for you and the sooner you get rid of the jerk you're with, the sooner you can find Mr. Right. Also remember, guys usually get less considerate as a relationship goes on. That means, guys who are, "too nice" will eventually become normal and guys who are @$$holes are going to become BIGGER @$$HOLES.

Answer 4

There's no right way to avoid them. It just depends on how you learn from your experience with this jerk who recently tossed you away like nothing. For me, i got sucked back into the tumultuous relationship several times until finally, i developed a real disgust for every aspect of this guy. He's tried to get back w/ me a couple times since, but i can't even stand the facial expressions he makes when he talks! After him i met a guy who was really in love w/ me, but he was not opposite enuf of my ex. Anyway, i ended up marrying a guy who is completely opposite of that jerk.
To get over your ex, you need to be with people who will constantly remind you of all the bad aspects of your ex. Oh, and if someone goes into great detail about all the unattractive physical features of your ex, it will be hard to ever be as attracted to him as you were before.You are already angry at him, the relationship was never that great, take away your physical attraction to this guy and you'll lose interest in him fast.

Answer 5

Use what lesson you have learnt by the jerk as your tool in your belt and carry it with you. Don't hook up with them, just keep it on a friendship basis. Most of the jerk types have one interest only, if you give in, they have control. If you don't, you will know they are jerks of the same you had, because they will get tired of trying, because at that point conversation is far too boring, and long, for them they want to quickly get the prize and run out of patience and move onto finding the weaker women. Focus on yourself, and rediscover your confidence, to gain strength in your independence. The stronger your independence, the less attracted you will be to jerks. Good luck!

Answer 6

In any relationship there are always traits that we could pick up in a person that would hint to us what their character is really like but the problem is that we fool ourselves into overlooking these small things hoping they would change. Even if we try to tell you how to avoid them you cannot let looks override your true senses.Don't go too deep with the individual too soon,talk with them ,ask questions ,wait them out a while and you are bound to see something you didn't see before that would encourage you to stay or leave!

Answer 7

You can't avoid them because they are very clever at hiding their domineering nature until you are deeply involved. My best advice to you regarding this is take it slow, people always reveal themselves as they truly are if you give them enough time.

Answer 8

They are very adept at luring you into their domain.. but once there you are consistantly demonized and demoralized..Is why it is so important to have long friendships prior to any intimate relationship.

Answer 9

shut up toots, and wiggle that sweet thing over here
