Do you think you are mature in relationships? A mature woman has great qualities. She's confident because she's figured out what direction she wants to go in life.
She's also drama free; she has no time to deal with negativity or questionable behavior. She's got a great head on her shoulders. Because of these qualities, she is one of the best people you can find yourself in a relationship with. She is focused on commitment and happiness.
While every relationship can come with their own unique struggles, a mature woman will do what she can to rise above them. If you're a man who's done dating immature women and are ready for a real relationship or a woman who is taking a more critical look at your own behavior, it's important to know the qualities to look and watch out for. Here are seven things mature women don't do in relationships.
They Don't Fight Losing BattlesWhen you engage in a losing battle, you are engaging in a fight knowing there is no chance that you will succeed. A mature woman knows that in a relationship, you should pick and choose your battles wisely. If there is a point that she wants to get across, she will push back, but in a healthy and loving way.
They value healthy communication and will do what they can to ensure that the words they exchange are honest, not demeaning. They won't engage in a frivolous conversation or argument that they know is leading nowhere. Can you imagine how much easier life would be if we all refused to fight losing battles?
They Don't Play GamesA mature woman is looking for happiness and relationship commitment which means she doesn't have time for drama or games. Her mission is to live a life that she is content with. She knows exactly what she wants and may not be interested in a relationship with someone who is not ready to put in the work or willing to go the distance with her.
Playing games take up a lot of time and energy and takes a lot out of you. If you're a woman who is always looking for drama or willing to engage in somebody else's games, you're not ready to be in a mature relationship.
They Don't Sacrifice Other RelationshipsMany people begin to drift apart from their friends when they get involved in a new relationship. While some distance is understandable, especially during the beginning stages of a relationship, when we begin to sacrifice our relationships for the person we are with, it can become very problematic.
It's important that you always remember that your friends and family have always been in your life, way before you met your partner. Spending time with them will always be important. Mature women make sure that they have a happy balance when it comes to all of their relationships.
They Don't Give Up Financial IndependenceA mature woman will not give up their financial independence, even if their partner is well off. Giving up their financial independence can actually mean giving up their personal independence. A mature woman doesn't have to ask their partner for everything. They are proud and confident that they are able to bring valuable assets to the relationship table.
They can buy things with their own money, while also managing the check book. A mature woman will enter the relationship with financial confidence which lets her partner know that she is choosing to be with him because she truly loves him, not because she needs to be taken care of.
They Don't Give Up Their Dreams
A mature woman doesn't give up her dreams for her partner. They recognize the fact that a good relationship doesn't bring you down; instead, it lifts you up and brings out the best in you.
A good relationship encourages you to pursue your dreams and a mature woman would struggle to be happy in a relationship if she stopped following her dreams. There are a lot of women who will put their dreams on hold so that they can uplift their partner and allow them to pursue their aspirations. While these women are not to be faulted or looked down on, it's important that they don't lose sight of their goals and dreams. If they do, it will always be a decision they regret.
They Don't Give Up Their Self-Respect
If you do not respect yourself, then no one else will. A mature woman has self-respect and will not give it up for the sake of a relationship. She knows that giving up her self-respect is like giving up on your life; when you do this, you are allowing people to walk all over you and every success you've ever had.
Her personal dignity is one of her greatest qualities. If you are a woman who is looking for a man to tell you what you are worth, you have some work to do. You should look for relationships when you are confident and mature enough to know not only what is right and wrong, but also what is best for you.
They Don't Take 'I Love You' Lightly
I love you. They are three simple words that are so critical to healthy relationships. A mature woman knows the value of this statement and works hard to keep these words sacred, no matter how long they've been in a relationship. They don't have to say 'I love you' constantly - instead they say it at the right moments to show their partner knows how much they appreciate them. They also reflect love in their actions. Their partner doesn't have to question that when she says, 'I love you,' she means it.
A mature woman is always good in relationships because she understands completely that compromises, obligations and commitments are part of any relationship. Mature women are always trying to make the right choices to achieve happier relationships with their partners. It's never too late to step your game up and begin countering any practices that aren't promoting maturity in your relationship.
