How do I make a man prove himself?

My mom keeps saying I have to make him prove himself to me... but he's done that to me.. he was respectful didn't push for sex at all. he's kind. Weve been on a couple of dates before sex...

But now she's screaming I have to have him prove himself to me.. but weve already had sex... so is it too late?

  • You are both adults and its time for her to treat you like one. Your life, your decision. Tell your mom that she cannot scream at you. If she does then leave the room. If necessary leave the house. Practice safe sex and keep it to yourself. I don't expect your mother talks to you about her sex life.

  • Perhaps you jumped into sex a bit early. He hadn't "earned" it yet. But he can still prove himself through respectful treatment and follow through on things. It will be more of a challenge for him because he already has his reward. Hold his behavior to a high standard.

    • He does exactly that!

    • Well then, keep doing what you are doing, but don't tolerate any slippage.

  • Well there’s nothing to prove so I mean, he sounds like a good guy. In my experience if he didn’t want you or prove himself to you he would’ve pushed you into sex and you guys have been still together for awhile since you’ve had sex right?

    • Yea we are still together And why do you say there's nothing to prove?

    • I mean does he respect you? Does he pay for the dates? Have you ever felt like he’s abandoned you? Has he said I love you? Does he respect your opinions and when you say no? A bad guy wouldn’t do any of that

    • And ignore your mom. This generation is completely different she has no idea nobody has to “prove” themselves to anyone it all comes down to respect and love

  • I don't even know what that means? And why would your mother be allowed to interfere with your relationships if you're over 30?

  • Tell her this isn't the 12th century

  • If he has not make a mistake before he doesn't have to prove anything. As long as you feel good in this relationship there is nothing to prove especially if he was not an abuser or cheater in the past

  • No one should prove themselves to no one, but if you need anything to call it a day, just say he already proved himself through his actions up until now.

    What the heck is wrong with your mom?

    • Dude I don't know she's stressing me tf out

    • Has she always been like this? Sounds stressful af

    • Yes she's always been like this. Always in my buissness

  • He can still prove himself by continuing to be respectful, having a job or going to school, being honest, kind and faithful to you, etc. I don't know just what your mom wanted, except for you to not have sex with him before he did these things.

  • I hope he leaves you tired of women being so entitled a man shouldn’t have to prove himself for women that’s stupid. Guys deserve better

  • Your mum should chill the fuck out and let you explore your love life on your own terms. I can see why any parent would be protective of course. But it seems like maybe she's projecting her own distrust of "unfamiliar men" onto you?

  • You're mom sounds unhinged.

  • Your mom sounds manipulative. Not with i’ll-intent, but none the less manipulative. A relationship is a mutual thing in which both parties give and try their best to satisfy each other’s needs. You should both be proving yourselves and accepting one another. It’s not a one sided thing.

  • You're between the ages of 30 -35 and you still listen to your mother?

    I learned to end that when I first learned the word NO!

    Is this for real?

  • Oh my goodness, you've had …………………………. SEX !!
    How's the other 95% of the relationship going and how does he treat all the rest of the time? Your answer is there, and find a way to politely tell your mother that you appreciate her advice, you've considered her point, and now she can stop.

  • Maybe she means around other girls. Like would he cheat on you.

  • Good question! I don't think it's too late... I hope! It sounds to me like he already has proven himself!

  • Your mom is an idiot. Soooo many women want proof of what is there as if blind (and so many are single for that reason)

  • shouldn't have to prove yourself to anyone male or woman. if he or she treats you with respect and are nice and kind to you and both of guys fit together then thats all that matters.

  • Yeah its too late u had sex after like 3 dates comon girl ur mom should be weeping

  • Proof of character/trust takes time to establish, maybe that's what she is referring to?

  • Stop this madness. There is nothing to prove. It is good for both of you if you just move on.

  • You dont did he ask you to prove yourself

  • No One Should Ever Have To Prove Themself To Anyone...
