The Planner

For those who like a lot of structure in their lives and who prefer to plan ahead, you might be a “planner” type of boyfriend. You are all about making lists and following a certain schedule or living up to a certain level of caliber… and your partner needs to be the same way.

Finding a balance of being invested in the person. And your relationship and giving them space can help provide a healthy area for both of you to flourish together.

The Giver

For men who are continuously giving more than they get in the relationship, you are a giver. You feel the need to provide love and support in countless ways from doing more than your fair share of the housework to giving in and doing things together that your girlfriend wants to do. While being a giver is a good thing as everyone deserves love and attention, it is important to remember that you deserve the same treatment as well. Place boundaries on how much of yourself you are willing to give so that you aren’t constantly feelings as if you are holding the relationship together without the support of your partner.
