Want to Change Your Boyfriend? The Myth of the Changeable Boyfriend

Do you love your boyfriend? Do you think he’s just a great guy, except…? Do you think he would be absolutely perfect, if only…? Would you be perfectly happy, as soon as you could change him, just a little?

This is fundamentally a female issue. It’s usually a woman who wants to change her boyfriend, rarely the other way around. TTo get behind the reason for all this boyfriend-changing would require a whole post on its own, but lets just say that maybe women enjoy changing boyfriends and boyfriends quite often are in need of change

The real question is: is it actually possible to change your boyfriend? The short answer: no. The only person who can change your boyfriend is your boyfriend – it’s as simple as that.

However, it is possible to, ahem, encourage change. Depending on the scale of change a woman is aiming for, this may or may not lead to a new, improved boyfriend.

1. We are operating under the assumption that your relationship as such is good and that your boyfriend is a great guy. If there is more wrong than right with him or the relationship, then why even bother? It may help to make a list detailing the things that are good about your relationship and the things that you want to change. If the bad outweighs the good, you can stop right there. The relationship is obviously doomed. You should save yourself the hassle of trying to change your boyfriend and find a new, happier relationship instead.
2. If, however, the list of cons is short, then it depends on how fundamental your boyfriend-changes are. Should they require a complete personality-turnaround, brainwash, everything short of a lobotomy, then you might consider exchanging this faulty boyfriend for a new model better suited to your relationship needs. If, however, you want to change minor issues of appearance, manners, habits, you’re in with a chance.
3. If you are sure that the relationship is worth it and that the things you want to change are relatively minor, here’s how to change your boyfriend:

• The key to success is to refrain from open criticism. This will only put your boyfriend on the defensive.
• Use positive reinforcement. If your boyfriend is wearing something you like, tell him how great he looks, if your boyfriend helps out around the house, thank him (and remember that actions speak louder than words).
• Remember that there is a (small, but still…) chance that you yourself are not quite perfect. Be open to your boyfriend’s suggestions and be prepared to change your own habits in exchange.
• Relationships are always about giving as much as receiving. If your boyfriend takes you to a concert as a favour, then go along with something he wants to do in return .
• The most important thing is to let him find out for himself that change is positive and your boyfriend will eventually want to change for the better.
