A psychologist gave advice to men on how to rebuild a relationship with their wife
Restoring relations between spouses after a breakup is a complicated process that requires patience, understanding and willingness to compromise on both sides, said Ekaterina Bulgakova, associate professor at the Department of Labor Psychology and Psychological Counseling at the State University of Education. She told Izvestia on January 17 about several steps men can take to help in this matter.
"Analyze what exactly led to the breakup. Realizing mistakes is the first step to correcting them. But avoid self-digging. Try to establish an open and honest dialog with your wife. Listen to her opinion, try to understand her feelings and emotions. Avoid accusations and criticism, try to talk about your feelings and experiences. Talk peacefully with each other. Perhaps you are not perfect, and she made mistakes somewhere," - noted the psychologist.
According to her, respect for personal space and trust are key elements of a healthy relationship. Therefore, you should try to rebuild trust by honoring promises and showing respect for your wife's decisions and feelings.
"Show that you are willing to change and work on the relationship. This may include changing habits, improving communication. It is important that these changes are sincere and consistent," Bulgakova said.
She advised showing support and care in everyday life. Small gestures of attention, such as helping around the house, doing activities together or showing interest in your spouse's life, can significantly improve the relationship.
"In some cases, it may be helpful to see a marriage counselor or psychologist. Professional help can provide an objective view of the situation and offer effective strategies for rebuilding the relationship," the expert added.
The psychologist emphasized that restoring relationships takes time and patience, so one should not expect instant results. It is important to keep working on yourself and the relationship, even if progress seems slow.
"You won't step into the same river twice. What has been is what has been. You can build your relationship with your wife on a new foundation and make it better for both parties," Bulgakova concluded.
Earlier, on January 16, it was reported that more than half of the surveyed men (64%) said that they regularly do household chores. Of women 56% call domestic life their territory, according to the results of a study of the deiting-service Mamba. At the same time, 58% of women consider it unacceptable if a man ignores household chores, and another 40% of ladies do not see it as a problem and usually agree with their partner.
