Such an interesting question, all my female friends have in their minds. Husband material is often heard, but never really sure what it actually refers to or what are the things a man who is a husband material has.
Let me break it down for you. Let me start by giving you a short briefing on who is a husband material and then dive into the signs and what makes him one.
What does husband material mean?
To understand this better, let’s take a short example so that it becomes more relatable for you. This is definitely not the only situation, but this will help you understand the difference between who’s husband material and who is love bombing you.
Example 1:
It’s been a couple of years since you’ve been dating, but you see changes in him. He’s not as active, doesn’t want to spend a lot of time with you, but sends you a lot of gifts, publicly says he loves you.
Example 2:
Keeping the storyline similar. It’s been a few years you’ll have been dating, but he still takes the effort to talk to you, spend time with you, doesn’t disappear, and reappear.
Who do you think is better? Or to phrase my question in a better way, who of the two is love bombing, and who is husband material?
Let me elaborate on it for you:
In the first instance, the gifts and declaration of love might sound really dreamy, but avoiding meeting or appearing and disappearing isn’t a good sign. A person like this is manipulating or love bombing you. You can even call it gaslighting.
In the second example, even after a couple of years, the person hasn’t lost interest in you. Is taking efforts to make things going, even though it might not make expensive gifts or public declarations of love. He is husband material.
What makes a man good husband material?
A man who takes the effort, wants you to be a part of his future, takes the relationship seriously is someone you can call a person a candidate for a husband.
Now the question arises of what makes a man a good husband.
Everyone has a lot of flaws and so does a person who might be the right candidate for a husband. But here are a few things or green flags that can help you concrete your decision.
Seriousness towards the relationship from the start, not treating it like a joke or just for fun.
He really wants things to work. He will take all the efforts to make it happen till the last breath of the relationship. He won’t give up on the first fight or fall out. His maturity is one of the biggest advantages.
