Daily Dose of Integrity When a guy shows a lot of interest in other woman, and he is willing to initiate in various ways, but not with you—that's not a good sign. First and foremost, men are always going to look at attractive women no matter how much they love their partner. Okay? There are some brief phases that guys go through where they've only got eyes for their partner, but even with those loving man this wears off. Pretty things catch our attention. Now, there's a big difference between a guy that goes “Oh, she's hot”, and then comes back to focus on you, and the guy that is drooling on the floor right in front of you, won't look away, and seems obsessed, right? There's a spectrum of behaviour here, and they're all quite different. To be really stereotypical: as a woman, you might have a closet full of shoes, but you're still going to check out good looking shoes in the shop, right? You're still going to do that. It doesn't mean that you don't like your shoes at home. To dive deeper into this topic, check out the original video here: https://youtu.be/uu15MbTrQsE

Daily Dose of Integrity It's become very difficult for a man to know what's safe around sex, because there's no one to teach us. You're not born knowing what safety is. I don't know why that's expected of men. And yet, men are now supposed to know the difference between flirting and harassment as well as the difference between foreplay and assault. And yet, no one is teaching them what the difference is. Our fathers are too scared of it, and also too confused by it to teach us. So, who's there to teach us—other than media saying “Men are rapists, men are rapists”. Now you've got these men who are scared to be sexual. They're scared to be a man. They think that being sexual and initiating sex is going to come with consequences. I remember that from my own life: I'd be in bed with a woman, and now looking back I can see she was clearly keen for something, but I was like, “No, she has to do the first move otherwise I'm a rapist”. I just couldn't do it. I couldn't cross the line into sexual behaviour, because I was just so scared of being wrong about it.

Daily Dose of Integrity My truth is more valuable than my lies. While your truth may hurt someone's feelings or it might be something that they can't quite handle at the moment, it is accurate information— which means they can use it. They can make decisions. They can plan. They can decide what they're going to do with you and with their life around you based on information that's true. So, it's probably going to be the best decisions that they can make. When you feed them lies and deception that's what they make their decisions off—that can lead them down a false path, that can lead them to a fake life. If, for example, they think that you like them when you don't, they might make plans around you liking them, and then be disappointed and crushed when they finally realize that you don't. It crushes all their plans. So, make sure people are getting the best information they possibly can to make decisions —and that information is the truth.

Daily Dose of Integrity Jealousy shows us that we feel threatened. Often, this threat manifests as fear of losing something, therefore we are possessive. Sexual history jealousy (often known as Retroactive Jealousy) is telling us that you are possessive around your girlfriend. Part of you is trying to keep her to yourself, and so you see her previous experience as a threat to that. We could extrapolate this out, and see that some part of you believes that her previous sexual history somehow indicates that she could be perhaps more interested in other men than you, and therefore be stolen away at some point. Or, you could think that her history somehow diminishes her enjoyment of you, and therefore is a threat to the relationship.
