Part 8: 10 Ways to Change Your Man into a Grump

Don’t trust him make any decisions. Always second guess him.

You may well allow your husband to make the final decisions at home, but it’s always a struggle or only after an argument. Perhaps he even values your opinions and carefully considers your advice, but he ends up making a decision that you don’t agree with. And so you make sure he knows that you’re not happy about that.

At every opportunity, you tell him that he’s making a mistake, that it’s going to affect your lives, that he should have listened to you. You start putting doubts in his mind by saying things like, “Are you sure you want to work for that company, move to this area, buy this item? Maybe you’re better off by doing this, this or that...”

If you don’t give him your support, he’ll always feel that you don’t value his judgementand that could even lead him to lose his confidence. If his decision gives a negative outcome, you’re sure to go on and on about how he should have listened to you in the first place. NO ONE likes that. Keep doing this and before your very eyes, you could see a confident man become a doubting wimp. And then you’ll probably complain that your husband isn’t man-enough. So let him be a man.
