By gradually training men to be "loyal dogs," a healthy and harmonious relationship between men and women can be established. Men with a "puppy mentality" have healthier and more stable relationships with their partners. This healthy and stable relationship is based on the following four principles: honesty, trust, respect, and integrity.
1. Everything should be done in moderation.
Treat your partner like a puppy; don't dump everything on him. However, don't micromanage him either. If you unconditionally give your boyfriend everything he wants, he'll never learn to plan his own life, let alone care for and cherish you.
2. Create a sense of "preciousness"
If you're always chasing after your partner, caring for them, and protecting them, they'll feel like you'll never leave. Conversely, if you learn to maintain a certain distance from your partner—when they leave, you can also gracefully turn around and meet up with friends or engage in other activities—they'll definitely come running back to you.
3. Share your true thoughts
When communicating with your partner, you should express your true thoughts directly and frankly, letting them understand your loves and hates. Don't expect them to completely understand you; they are not you!
4. More rewards, fewer punishments
By using rewards, you can attract and motivate your partner to complete some everyday household chores. This helps lighten your burden while also fostering a harmonious relationship.
5. Apply slight punishment
Make your partner suffer a little; they only remember the pain after they've been hurt! No matter what your partner does that upsets you, even if you can't really "go all out," you should still give them a little punishment to make them "soften their temper" for a while.
6. A resolute attitude
A firm stance is crucial. Once you demonstrate unwavering resolve in what you stand for, those trying to persuade you will naturally abandon their futile efforts.
7. Avoid negative topics
People tend to automatically filter out topics that nag, complain, or evoke negative emotions. Therefore, when communicating with your partner, try to avoid negative topics and instead attract and influence them with positive and uplifting emotions.
8. Put away your fear
A sense of security comes from within; it cannot solely rely on your partner. Instead of living in fear and being overly dependent, strive to improve yourself, become more self-respecting and confident, and make your partner unable to live without you.
9. Practice makes perfect
Training a loyal partner is no easy task. Therefore, initial failures don't mean anything. You should learn from your mistakes, change yourself, and keep trying until you achieve your ideal relationship.
10. If you can't do something, just give up gracefully.
If your partner is unable to get along with you no matter what, giving up might be the best option. Even though giving up is difficult, it's the best outcome for both of you and avoids longer-term self-harm.
Experts say, "Adjusting yourself and changing your partner is an interesting process. Furthermore, the 'puppy dog mentality' isn't just applicable to romantic relationships; it has broader applications. Study these 10 rules carefully, and you'll reap unexpected results."
