Initially when a man meets a woman, some men may seek other men to validate their woman.  Their approval may make him feel that he hit the jackpot.  It’s simply an ego boost for a man to see other men check out his woman and desire her.  Sometimes it will make a man value his woman more knowing other men are interested in her.    When another man says to his friend, “How did you get her?”  Most men will feel complimented rather than offended by that comment.

Other women will sometimes feel your man must have something going on, since you chose to be with him.   In turn, this may make him seem more attractive to other women.  Usually other women will presume that this man must be successful or he must be a great lover.

Women are more likely than men to want or need the approval of their relationship from friends and family.  Often a person’s disapproval is based on their own selfish reasons or because they aren’t in a relationship and they may feel now that you aren’t single anymore, your time spent with them may be limited.  Instead, they should be happy that you found love.

You can listen to the advice of others, but make your decision based solely on your partner’s actions and how they make you feel.  Ultimately other people’s approval shouldn’t matter when it comes to affairs of the heart.
