Hold On To The Man Who Keeps You Accountable

Good, genuine guys do exist and get pushed away so often because they do what all men should do, they keep you accountable. So often women like to say there are no good guys out there, but the truth is they actually are out there and they had one but let him go. A man doing what he is supposed to do is so rare today that when it actually happens, it freaks women out, makes them feel disrespected, and makes them think he is controlling. The number one job for a man is to lead his partner, which includes keeping them accountable, questioning their motives, and challenging them to better themselves. It is 100% okay for a man to do what he is supposed to do. In no way is accountability, questioning, or challenging a disrespectful or controlling thing as long as it is done with the right intent behind it. If a man keeps you accountable it means he is making sure you are taking on the role you stepped into when you created this relationship or marriage. If a man questions you it means that he is making sure you are making the best decisions with the best motives behind them. If a man challenges you he is doing it because he wants you to be your best and do your best; not for him but for you.

Men, if a woman cannot handle you acting the way men are intended to in the relationship, she is not ready for a good relationship. A good relationship is not one where you do your own thing with no accountability, a good relationship is one full of accountability and constant moments of keeping each other in check; a good relationship is one where you base every decision you make off of how it will affect the relationship and both of you. This is exactly how my relationship is right now and it is the best relationship I have ever had. I have had multiple relationships in the past where there was no accountability, my motives and choices were not questioned, and I was never challenged to do better; those relationships were very toxic and did a lot of damage to me. In today's world, it is very hard for a man to be accepted as a good genuine guy doing what he is supposed to do because men like that are beginning to become degraded, shamed, and made to be the bad guy. There is a difference between a good, genuine man and a rude, controlling man. A good, genuine man cares about the other person and does the things he does based off of how it will make them better; a rude, controlling man cares about only himself and does the things he does based off of how it will make him better. The quicker women learn the difference, the quicker the good, genuine men can be given a chance instead of sent away.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
