- A lot of men, in new social surroundings, are slow to adapt to the point
- where they feel as if they belong and are in control of their lives.
- When they feel as though they have lost control or do not "belong" they
- feel trapped. When men feel trapped they often exhibit "anti" behavior.
- Keep those communication lines wide open and don't let him feel as if
- the world revolves around your past life and your friends. Men are often
- less able to adapt than women in this regard. It is also true that his
- behavior might be a sign that the problem is deeper than just the control
- issue - but you can't find that out with mind reading.
