Of course, we women often feel moved when our boyfriend shows his "childish soul" and does or says immature things, without any worries or responsibilities. But in a long-term relationship with an immature man, it becomes frustrating - if not impossible. It is said that men remain slightly immature regardless of age - however, to a certain extent.

Not all women have a psycho-emotional age compatible with the biological one - many are irresponsible and immature. Yes, men win this "battle". Wondering how mature your boyfriend is? Before you put him to the test of psychology, simply follow some clues about how he treats you.

6 signs that your boyfriend is a mature man:

Do not run away from difficulties in the relationship or life. What does a child do when he encounters an obstacle? He runs to his mother to protect him or ignores the problem in the hope that "it will resolve itself." What does an adult do?

He confronts her and tries to solve the problematic situation. An immature man will avoid you whenever you want to have a discussion that does not suit him and will most likely break up with you at the first more difficult impasse (or, if he is attached to you, he will temporarily run into the arms of another to -relieve the pain!).

Make plans for the future. A mature man cannot live only in the present, without worries, without thinking about tomorrow and what he wants from the future (in his personal, professional life). 

He is not obsessive, overly jealous, does not check you, and does not invade your privacy. Of course, these actions are related to both insecurity and self-confidence, as well as his personality, but in general, an adult who has a long-term relationship escapes insecurity and in no way behaves like a spoiled child who demands attention. you're complete. And yes, don't check your phone or computer secretly to make sure you're the only one (exception: he doesn't trust you because you cheated on him in the past or cheated on him).

He is not a fan of the "bros before hoes" slogan - quite offensive, he said. Only an immature boy always puts his girlfriend in the 2nd place, preferring the company of male friends, in case of a serious couple relationship. Yes, every man needs time with friends, that's normal. But when he misses you often because he wants to be "with the boys", he doesn't seem like a guy willing to get involved in something serious and mature. And yes, almost every misogynist is immature.

He does not behave like an alpha male "stronger" than everyone else. A truly adult man does not need dominant and ostentatious attitudes to prove his manhood. He doesn't need to brag about how many hours he spent in bed with you non-stop. Or how much money he makes.

Or what car he has. And, most importantly, she is not afraid to show her emotions, even if she does not feel very comfortable. A mature man knows that suffering and crying is not a sign of a lack of masculinity, but a normal thing for any human being.

He doesn't look at his girlfriend as his new mom. If your boyfriend always pampers himself by saying he doesn't know or "doesn't feel like it now" (just like he'll never feel like it) to do the housework you're asking him to do, you're more of a child.

If he doesn't put his laundry in the basket, leaving piles of socks under the bed, he says that the washing machine is difficult to use (unlike all his gadgets!), He doesn't know how to make at least an omelet living from pizza if you don't cook and leave garbage until it spills over or creates new life forms, then it is not a mature man. And no, that's not a euphemism for something else.
