If a man truly loves someone, his actions show it. Love doesn’t involve saying the right things – it involves treating the person you love with care and affection. A good man will never hurt, disrespect or take you for granted. He knows that love involves care, trust & putting work into the relationship. There are some things he just won’t do because he cherishes you and the connection you have. These are the things that indicate he values you and wants to be in the relationship.

Ignore Your Feelings
A good man will never deny what you are experiencing. If you’re upset about something, he listens and tries to understand. He believes your feelings are real, even if he doesn’t agree with you. He cares about your peace and happiness. He’d be disrespecting you if he were to ignore what you’re feeling and that’s not love.
Put You Down
He will never make you feel unworthy or lesser than you. Because as any good man will tell you, love is about empowering each other. Even in conflicts, he is tactful about what he says. He won’t call you names or use harsh words in the name of argument. Rather, he offers encouragement and support. When you are low, he reminds you that you are strong. He wants you to feel assured and accepted, not insecure or hurt.
Lie to You
Trust is the foundation of a healthy relationship and no man will betray that. He is truthful with you – even when the truth is hard to pronounce. He knows lies can wreck a relationship. And if he is wrong, he admits to it rather than hiding it. Keeping things real is how he values you and the relationship you have. A relationship without lies is one in which each side feels comfortable.
Make You Feel Unimportant
No good man will make you feel like an afterthought. He puts you and the relationship first. This doesn’t mean he sacrifices his life but he sacrifices his time to show that you matter. He reaches out to you and remembers the little things that matter to you. To treat you like a second choice would be against his love for you.
Control You
Love is about freedom, not control. The right guy won’t try to tell you what to wear, who to see, and what to do. He leaves it up to you. He knows that respect is a part of a good relationship – not power play. Controlling you would be an act of insecurity, not of love. Rather, he encourages your independence and lets you be you.
Break Your Trust
Good man will never do anything to make you doubt him. He makes his promises and does what he says. When he says he’ll do something, he does it. He doesn’t do things that would sabotage the relationship between you – like flirting with others or hiding things. Trust is hard to gain and easy to lose, and he would rather not risk it.
Take You for Granted
Good man appreciates you and does not take you for granted. He acknowledges the work you put into the relationship and is appreciative of that. From little things you do every day, to big things you give up — he doesn’t judge. If he takes you for granted, he doesn’t value you — and that’s not how love works for him.
Use You
He will never see you as a means to an end. A man should appreciate you for who you are, not what you can offer him. He doesn’t stay in the relationship for money, prestige or convenience. He does his share & he doesn’t make you shoulder the whole burden. Love for him is about sharing – not taking advantage.
Disrespect Your Boundaries
Any good man knows that boundaries matter in a relationship. He never asks you to do something you don’t want to do. Whether it be physical, emotional or time-related, he acknowledges your boundaries. And he knows loving means keeping you safe and respected. Crossing these boundaries means damaging the trust and comfort you share.
Make You Feel Alone
Even when things get busy, a good man never leaves you alone. He keeps in touch and makes time for you. When you’re together, he’s there, not with his phone or anything else. If you’re feeling sad, he is there to comfort you. Love means being a part of a team and he makes sure you feel supported and cared for.
Give Up on the Relationship
A good guy does not walk away when the going gets rough. He makes an effort to work through things with you. He opens up and tries to solve rather than blame. To quit would be to say that he doesn’t care about you. Instead, he will fight for you and fight for the relationship because he cares.
