Oprah's Words of Wisdom on Men

By Melissa - Thursday, August 13, 2009

I really like this.

Not quite suprising, some of her invaluable advice shared are spot-on and affirms that I am on the right track as well as I have given others fitting advice for the right path.

Fellow genteel women, my sisters-in-arms, gorgeous goddesses - Listen up, and listen good.

  • Stop making excuses for a man and his behaviour. Allow your intuition (or spirit) to save you from heartache.

  • Stop trying to change yourself for a relationship that's not meant to be.

  • Never live your life for a man before you find what makes you truly happy.

  • If a relationship ends because the man was not treating you as you deserve, then heck no, you can't 'be friends'.

  • If you feel like he is stringing you along, then he probably is.

  • Don't stay because you think "It will get better". You'll be mad at yourself a year later for staying when things are not better.

  • Always have your own set of friends separate from his.

  • Maintain boundaries in how a guy treats you. If something bothers you, speak up.

  • NEVER let a man know everything. He will use it against you later.

  • You cannot change a man's behaviour. Change comes from within.

  • Don't EVER make him feel he is more important than you are, even if he has more education or is in a better job.

  • DO NOT make him into a quasi-god. He is a man; nothing more, nothing less.

  • NEVER let a man define who you are.

  • NEVER borrow someone else's man.

  • If he cheated with you, he'll cheat on you.

  • You should not be the one doing all the bending. Compromise is a two-way street.

  • You need time to heal between relationships. There is nothing cute about baggage.
    Deal with your issues before pursuing a new relationship.

  • You should never look for someone to COMPLETE you. A relationship consists of two WHOLE individuals.

  • Make him miss you sometimes. When a man always know where you are, and you're always readily available to him - he takes it for granted.

    The Holy Grail of advices?

  • NEVER move into his mother's house.
