hi guys sometimes i wonder why some people never value what they have? i mean till now all the guys i liked valued me at first but then started to act careless. i was always sweet to them. so its hard to understand why they didnt value me? i mean i think i didnt do anything wrong. i was sweet to them and never controlled their moves. i guess that just sometimes we dont value what we have till we lose it. what do you guys think? do you think that we need to lose someone sometimes to see their value? please share

Hello Kat, Actually men are not showy like women does. I also felt that way, I felt ignored and treated second priority, when in fact it's not. Women assumes too fast. When her man/lover is not sweet, she assumes she was neglected/rejected. Anyway, that depends on each situation. Every relationship/s are not the same.

yes j i wish you are right. but is very hard to accept that we girls do so much. and the guy we like and says that likes us doesnt show it. its hurtful bcs you give so much of yourself. u know for me its enough if i like a guy and he says he loves me everyday. he can go out with his friends. im not a controller person at all. but for me is important to know if he really loves me or not. feel loved everyday is important to me.

You have a very good question here and it made me think as well why. My guess would be, people think there is no need to value their other half because they already knew that they own or they already have those unvalued people. They think that when they already have it, there is no longer a need to value it more because they know they will never lose them at the moment. And when they feel they no longer need or want that person, the value would then be gone and eventually the relationship fails. This happens to my relationship sometimes, the need to be valued is gone at some point. What I do when that happens is, I tell my bf frankly why he doesn't value me anymore. I sometimes would understand his answers but other answers are really not fair reasons enough. But anyway, when you love the person, you can feel it when he still values you. And when that value no longer is present, I think it's time for you to move on.

I think it is very normal for the people. People all like something that they have make efforts to get. But once they achieve their goals, then they lose the interest as time goes by. And they will pursue another new thing.

so what about you youless? what did your wife do for you to keep pursuing her? bcs if all the guys thought like you say here then no guy would have a gf. but all would like to play around. i think not all guys like to play. some of them follow the girl for challenge but then really start to love her.

I think you may be too sensitive to how they act . Girls always think more than boys. At least I always do like that. And that can just make ourselves upset. He is like before.

i just would like that they could be a little more caring. because it seems that at first they act sweet you know? but after some time they start to act like they dont care at all. i just dont know what to do.

Hi,there,it's a very common phenomenon,at least for me it is. At frist,we don't care much about them,even they are nothing to us,so they need to do their best to know us and to get our acceptation.Once we admit theirs existence,we start to caring them,missing them,and do whatever we can to cater them,then they are proud of themselves. And they may feel though they are careless,there is nothing will be changed,yours relationship has been confirmed.Well,just for your information. Have a nice day.

i just think that sometimes we should value what we have before we lose it. why do we need to lose someone to realize their meaning? its an unfair thing for me. i wouldnt like my bf if i had one to realize how important i am after we argue and lose each other. it would be good that guys showed love for their gfs everyday.

we don't value the people until we loss them,i often do that,sometimes i will regret it,but when the time is passed,we will meet new people,we will forget it, we think there is nobody who we can't replaced,so we often ignore the people .there is no reasons why we like to stay with some people but forget,i think.good luck!

its not so easy to forget. in my opinion if you really love someone isnt so easy to just let go. and ignore everything you been through. for sure if a guy hurts me with time i will forget him and meet a new one. but it isnt an easy thing. and sometimes we cant forget.

I think we just get too comfortable in our lives and start to take things for granted, and this then means that you think that you no longer have to put the same amount of effort into things to get things back for yourself. I know that when my Dad lost his job we really struggled to see it through because of the fact that we had got so used to having a huge wage in the family. We had to cut back on all kinds of things which we would have never thought twice about buying in the past, but once we got into the habit of it we wondered why on Earth we had bothered to spend that kind of money on certain things in the first place when it would be much better to save it for other things that we would all enjoy.

but it wasnt your fault gemma^^ you were used to that kind of life. its normal that you thought it would always be like that. no one could predict what would happen. but in relationships i think we should always give meaning to the person besides us. dont you agree? bcs sometimes we are with careless boys.

I think one major set back that happens is a lack of communication really. You can have general conversation with a loved one but unless you talk about your feelings towards that other person then they really don't know how you feel. If your sad that day, let them know so they can hold you. If you are happy, tell them, so they can be there with you. And etc. I've run across the same issue before though. I have come to a point in relationships where it just seems like "there is nothing to do" or "we have run out of fun time".

yes that happens more when you dont spend any time with the person. i mean we need to feel close. otherwhise is no sense that you be together. i think that if we love someone we should show it often. otherwhise it can end soon. wish you find the one for you soon if you didnt yet.

As you already know, i have more male friends than female friends. Most of them told me that girlfriends that are too sweet are scaring them away. They kind of lose interest when it's the girl who shows too much affection to them. They like it when the girl is not too sweet and seemed a little bit uninterested. They like challenges. I think that's why at first they value you because at first they think you're a challenge, but the moment you showed them your sweetness, they just tend to stay away. Dont' worry though because those guys who do that to you means they are not meant for you. Because a person who will really value you is someone who's serious in marrying you.

ai toni you scared me when you said when girls start to be too sweet after being a challenge first then they wont care for her anymore. so i was thinking, does it mean we need to be a challenge forever? but you are right. guys like challenges. but at the same time i think its true when you say that if they start to act careless is bcs they are not meant for me^^ thanks ^^

yes^^ sometimes we dont understand till we lose it. and sometimes some people never realise it. like guys that are mean and just play around. i mean how can they play with people that really have feelings for them? how selfish are they? anyway im happy i am not like that.
