Even the strongest relationships can crack if a woman unintentionally does something unacceptable to a man. And it’s not about cheating. Some things hurt even more because they strike at self-esteem, trust, or male dignity. Ukrainian life coach and sexologist Vitaliy Kursik shared what exactly a man can never forgive a woman.

According to the expert, there are things that men may appear to forgive on the outside, but in reality, they never forget.

They may not bring it up in a conflict, they may even stay close... but the resentment remains. And over time, it is that very feeling that can destroy the relationship, says Vitaliy Kursik.

Here is what men most often do not forgive women in relationships for, even if they do not admit it directly:

Devaluation

When his efforts are "not enough", his achievements are "average", and he is someone who "could have done better". A man who constantly hears that he is not enough will sooner or later emotionally distance himself.

Phrases like you won’t succeed at that or that’s not serious kill the desire to grow next to such a woman, the coach adds.

Public humiliation

Even as a joke. Especially in a company. It painfully hits self-esteem. Even if he smiles in the moment, inside, a deep crack remains.

Manipulation through sex

When sex becomes a form of currency like "earn it" or "you won’t get it because ...", a man loses the sense of emotional safety and trust. And the attraction disappears together with respect.

By the way, the "silent treatment" is also perceived as blackmail and humiliation, not as a method of influence for bad behavior. It destroys the emotional connection and trust in a couple, says the expert.

Cheating

Even emotional. Even "just texting". Even if he says it’s fine. Cheating deeply affects a man's self-esteem—and often locks his heart away, explains the coach.

Comparison with others

Exes, friends, other men on Instagram. Each such comparison is like a shot to his self-confidence. Phrases like "Nataly's husband always brings her flowers" or "my ex was more attentive" cut to the bone. And this doesn’t motivate, it devalues.

Where a man does not feel like the best for his woman, it becomes hard for him to love, adds the expert.

Control and constant criticism

When his every step is analyzed, every decision checked, and "I know better" is constantly said, a man loses the feeling that he can be a leader in the relationship at all.

These things are not about everyday issues. And not about "it happens to everyone". They are about depth. About trust, respect, and male dignity. And if it has already happened - it can be fixed. But only if both want to build, not prove their rightness, says Vitaliy Kursik.

How to avoid such mistakes:

  • Communicate directly, without sarcasm
  • Be supportive, even if you do not understand everything
  • Don’t play the you should guess yourself game
  • Don’t compare your loved one to others
  • Be thankful even for little things
