Harmful advices.
- Urgently increase your workload at home. If a man is having problems at work, this is the best time to remind him that he hasn't yet hung a shelf, organized the pantry, and generally "does nothing at home." Let him at least feel useful at home.
- Maximum depreciation
When he talks about problems, it's important not to listen. The best response is: "Well, you chose this yourself."
- Compare him to more successful men. Any model will do: a friend's husband, a neighbor, a brother, an online blogger. The phrase, "But Ana's husband..." works without fail.
- Don't give short breaks. Asking for an hour of quiet? This is the time to discuss: renovations, vacation, mortgage, raising children, and why he's "gone cold."
- Maintain an atmosphere of uncertainty The phrase “I don’t understand at all how you are going to provide for us” is a great stimulant for men.
- Add a little criticism of appearance - A crisis at work is an opportunity to say:
"Have you even looked in the mirror lately?"
- Don't thank him for anything. If he's trying, it's important to ignore it. Otherwise, he'll relax.
- Bring up old mistakes - A crisis is the perfect time to remember everything: the wrong move, the wrong job, the wrong loan, the wrong sofa.
- Pretend that problems are weaknesses
The classic formula: "Real men don't whine."
- And most importantly, ask, “Why are you so irritated?” This is the final touch.
