5 Tips to Deal With Your Boyfriend’s Ego
4. Don’t succumb to his ego issues
If you succumb to his ego issues and start tolerating his ego-fuelled behavior, you might be unknowingly encouraging him to behave that way. Put your foot down every time you see his ego creating a problem otherwise he will take your silence for granted and continue to display his male ego.
5. Remind him that it is not about you or him
If you try to deal with your boyfriend’s ego by picking an argument with him about it, he may feel that the whole argument is about you and him. Instead, calmly explain to him that it is not about you, nor about him, but about your relationship. Tell him how his ego is a bad thing for the relationship and how it can cause irreparable damage to your bond.
6. Identify the importance of your role in your relationship
The male ego can drive a guy into thinking that he is the star of the relationship. His ego and self-pride could be blinding him of seeing the effort, contribution and role that you play in the relationship. Deal with this by having a conversation with him and telling him in crisp points why your role in the relationship is equally demanding. The moment he realizes this, he will stop showing his ego in front of you.
