Are you one of those women who is easy prey? Do you allow your boyfriend to get away with it every time? Are you hurt and angry that you can never find the courage to stand up to your man and let him dominate you every time? You are not the only woman in that position. Here are some ways to prevent your boyfriend from dominating you all the time.
Feed the streak of independence in you
Stop being such an easy prey! Start cultivating that streak of independence within yourself so that you start making some decisions on your own. Refusing to be fooled by him or his tactics. Be on the lookout for ways you could get him to do things his way, as usual!
Be firm and don’t compromise
Once you’ve made up your mind about a certain thing and don’t want to bow down to your wishes, all you have to do is stand your ground and let her know that nothing is going to change your mind. Refusing to commit will make him a bit mad at you at first, but you can be sure it will turn to reluctant respect and appreciation.
Stay away from him if he acts like a bully
Don’t let it intimidate you, no matter how difficult it may seem! Trust in making him listen to you. If you insist on getting your way, then you are clearly being selfish. What can cause him to change his way of being is the fear that you may be losing interest in him. Get distant and stay away from him if he tries to bully you.
Let him know you don’t like it
One of the surest ways to make him realize that you don’t like being bullied and dominated is to have a frank and honest conversation with him. Tell them openly how you feel when they bully you, how they make you feel worthless, hurt, and disappointed. This may cause you to change your habits.
Start bending your arm a little on your own
Maybe up until now you’ve been so overwhelmed by him and blinded by your love that you didn’t rebel against his behavior and licked it all up! Now that he appears to be bossy and a big bully, you can’t help but protest. You could try bending your arm a bit on your own and see how he likes it!
Do not give in to their manipulations
No matter how persuasive and manipulative you are, the idea behind this is to get away with it! If you are vigilant, you will let him know that you will no longer be a doormat or easy prey. Don’t get angry or throw tantrums, but be firm and don’t do what he wants. It will show him that you have a mind of your own.
Make him feel guilty
There is a way to make him stop, and that is to make him feel guilty for stalking and dominating you! Do what he says, but be sure to subtly send him signals that you are doing it just to please him and not because you want to. When he realizes that you love him enough to fulfill his wishes, he will think twice about dominating you again.
