1. BE HIS CHEERLEADER

   The first way to offer your boyfriend support in whatever he’s doing is to be his cheerleader. Give him encouragement and tell him that you know he can do it. Everyone needs someone cheering them on. It makes you feel stronger and empowered to handle whatever you’ve set out to do. Your #boyfriend needs this too, and there’s no one better to give it to him that the girl he adores.

2. START BY CHANGING YOURSELF

  Remember, you can’t change somebody else no matter how hard you try if they are not willing to change. That’s why you could always start by changing yourself first and maybe the rest will come naturally. Yet, you should be aware of the fact that even if changing yourself may lead to changes in your #spouse, this will not make your significant other change. So try to avoid taking responsibility for your partner’s behavior and focus on improving your own.

3. WORK TOGETHER

   If you’ve noticed that lately your spouse is controlling and dominating you, you should have a talk with them. Explain the reasons why you think they are behaving in such a way and ask if they realize that what they are doing is inappropriate and that it might even damage your relationship in the long term. Then hopefully you can start working together in order to solve this issue. Cooperation is extremely important in any #relationship, especially when you are trying to solve a problem.

  4. SHOW THEM HOW THEIR ACTIONS HURT YOU

      Once you’ve started to work on solving this issue, be honest with your significant other and tell them how their actions are hurting you. Let them know that their behavior is making you feel uncomfortable, sad and even lonely sometimes, that they are diminishing your self-confidence and your self-esteem and that you would like to behave more as a happy couple and not like two #people who constantly have something to argue about.

  5. GET HELP
   
    In order to overcome this problem in your relationship, you could get some professional help. You could try going on marriage workshops, you could go to counseling or even go to group therapy. Do whatever you can to improve your #relationship and always keep in mind the feelings you two have for each other. Work together, be honest with each other and try to improve all the #things that go wrong in your relationship.

  6. STAY CALM
 
   Try to stay calm when you are dealing with a controlling spouse because I’m sure you wouldn’t want to make things escalate. You might end up saying mean things to each other, things that aren’t even true and that will only hurt you and your #relationship. Just tell them why you don’t agree with them on certain #things, explain them why you feel this way and try to reason with them. It may be a bit difficult at first to remain calm during your arguments, but in #time, with a lot of practice, you will learn how to control your temper.

 7. FIND OUT THEIR REASONS FOR ACTING IN SUCH A WAY

   Before accusing your spouse of being manipulative and controlling, try to find out their reasons for acting in such a way. You will see that most times, they have deeper issues, #things that they didn’t even realize they have. Help them solve their problems, be there for them and go through this together as a couple. You’ll be able to overcome all the difficulties in your relationship if you work together and if you have patience.
