I wouldn't try to "train" a hardened cheater or long term "hoe" of a man. Those behaviors are now their nature. If it's someone who has performed well in the past and a slight fall off, great. There are different "types" each more useful for different objectives. There still exist a man who wants to uphold the old values, but the new system has devalued him so greatly, so maybe a woman "training" him will force him to focus on his self and his personal development and use his time to build that, and to treat him good as a result.
Yes.
Yes, thing is I can't tell a man is a cheater when you begin relationship with him lying.
I thought it was me lying in the beginning of a relationship and so I overdid it by telling the last one every single thing about me-completely authentic. But treating him how I wanted to be treated is not enough when he's a hidden cheater. Or is it something in me still that drives these exes to cheat? I have to take responsibility for the fact that I'm almost half a century in age and only recently committed to selfdeveloping with the goal of good relationship.
I just never selfdeveloped for that goal before.
So you wrote: force him to work on his own selfdevelopment. That would save me from being codependent and neglectful of myself. I do need a lot of time and energy on myself. I didn't know I had so far to go because of a propped up false SMV from over 8 years on social media and sporadic OLD profiles.
That encouraging him to selfdevelop on his own would work out good as a type of indirect training method. I detest leading men if I can help it.
I recently realised all of this is quite simple just like when I realised in order to encourage a man to detach from unhealthy son-as-husband or son-as-little boy-still dynamics from his mother all you have to do is release him from your grip, try trusting him and encourage him to go spend time with masculine friends. Too simple but it never occurred to me.
