Do Men Ever Change? (Tips From A Guy Who Did...)
Matthew Hussey uses his own shift from commitment-phobic to married as a case study for when and how a partner can actually change.
The gist
-
Change needs a strong enough reason: both the appeal of a good future with you and awareness that old patterns have not worked.
-
Calling out poor behavior like inconsistent texting signals you won't accept it, which can push someone to step up.
-
Walking away only works as a genuine standard, not a tactic, and requires the other person to already have aligned values.
-
Hussey says his wife tested whether he could become a great partner rather than trying to force him to change.
