How men are offended
Women tend to have a more reverent perception of relationships in general, and to the words and actions of a partner in particular. But this does not mean that men do not feel resentment. In this article, we will look at how and why men are offended.
How to offend a man
Resentment is the feeling that you have been wrongly hurt or hurt. Men also feel resentment, even if they don't express it. Resentment internally negatively affects a man, upsets him and makes him feel inferior.
A man may be offended by many things, but most often a man is offended by the following:
- undeserved criticism of a man, especially his sexual characteristics;
- comparing a man to others, especially if you show clear advantages of other men;
- negative reviews about a man's life, especially about his hobbies, work, friends, relatives;
- depreciation of a man and his gifts (after all, he wanted to please you with even an insignificant gift);
- criticism of a man's insolvency;
- reviews that the man is not reliable enough;
- expression of an opinion on the lack of independence of a man.
In general, any undeserved criticism or negative feedback about his personality and activities can become the cause of resentment for a man.
You can always delicately express your displeasure to your partner, without resorting to direct criticism and destructive words.
How offended men behave
An offended man most often tries to keep the resentment inside. In this case, the offense still manifests itself in the further behavior of the man. For example, if in the morning you offended a man with any gesture or word, he may leave for work without telling you anything, but upon his return his behavior will still be restrained, constrained. A man who is offended can behave harshly and rudely. This state will continue until you discuss the problem and show the man that you understand his resentment and, perhaps, feel guilty. Your understanding is important for a man.
An offended man can keep a grudge in himself for a very long time, and then at the wrong moment, he may remind you of the action that upset him. A woman needs to be very sensitive so that a man does not accumulate resentment in his soul.
To strengthen your relationship with a man, you need to learn to be aware of what your actions and words can offend him. For example, if he is experiencing difficulties in the field of work and realizes this himself, then your words about his insolvency hurt the man very much. He is especially hurt by the fact that you do not understand his condition. Even if a man can solve all his difficulties in the near future, the memory that you did not support him in a difficult period will poison your future relationship.
How long do men take offense
How a person, in particular a man, is offended and how long it lasts depends on the nature of the person.
Someone tends to react very sharply to offensive words, someone silently experiences an offense, someone remembers about it for a very long time. You must know your man well in order to determine his condition.
Usually, men remember the insult for a very long time, even when all negative emotions pass. For men, the very fact of what you once voiced or done is important.
Men may no longer remember the reasons for your words and their negative emotions, but they will remember your words or gestures. This is not rancor, this is a property of male nature.
