being a great boyfriend
i had been working on a guide of sorts. a guide to being a great boyfriend. i've since deleted it. seems pointless now. but. there are a few points i'd like to share. i'll share them and maybe even provide an example of a time when i didn't do this.
being a great boyfriend is a very complex process. the most important step is keeping your girlfriend in mind with every decision you make. i know that sounds almost obsessive, but it's not. just always try and remember that you have a girlfriend. and that most of your decisions will somehow affect your relationship.
and listen. for the love of god listen. it's not that difficult. you don't have to remember everything. you don't even have to pretend to like what she's talking about. just listen. open your fucking ears and listen.
drop the jealousy. if she's with you, it's because she likes you. if she goes out with someone else .. a friend .. even an ex .. get over it. jealousy isn't healthy.
do you know how certain things happen and they bother you? or something doesn't feel right? if you don't talk about it .. it gets worse. so communicate your fucking ass off. talk about whatever is on your mind.
now nothing i said here is perfect. it's not going to work all the time. my most recent relationship, i followed all those. and i wasn't great enough to keep around. so remember. you can't be great for everyone.
