Insecure men often act in these ways
Unfortunately people don't show what they are like on the first date. Sometimes not even the tenth.
At first, everything looks very beautiful and wonderful, almost like a fairy tale, but then of experiencing some situations together, it is easy for the other to realize that the relationship is far from being like this.
It's common for some signs of insecurity to be seen when the man doesn't feel good about some friendship, some hobby or his way of acting in some contexts. And as if that weren't enough, they start to act strangely by starting the little games that lead the spouse to give in and do what they want.
Some examples are listed below. Analyze and see if any man has done or does this to you.
1. Blame you for everything
Couples should support each other in moments of discussion. It's them against the problem, not against each other. However the insecure man does not think so. He doesn't see that the problem was triggered by an outside attitude or even by him, so he ends up blaming his wife for it.
At times like this, it is necessary to remain calm and not get carried away by the accusations that are being made. In these cases, it's important to have common sense and self-knowledge to know how to impose yourself when something like this happens.
2. embarrasses you
Not only in public but also in private moments between you, he uses shame to get to you. By doing this, he creates a false sense that he is superior and that you need him for everything. Don't believe what a guy like that says and leave the place. This interruption in the game breaks the theater he built, so the guy will end up losing the false credibility he created, so you'll come out on top.
3. Uses you to boost his own ego
People who need affirmation and praise usually expect it to come from their peers. In this method, men use their own fame with women to extol that they are charming and that you are the lucky one in the relationship for having the chance to have it. At this time, you must remember your worth and prioritize yourself, stating that you also have positive points that are recognized by many people.
