When I saw the post about how men would be happy to live with a law chair and a TV and probably a mattress on the floor, I have realised that men do everything so that a woman would want to share his life. It was a light bulb moment for me.

They get up in the morning and get degrees, jobs, hobbies to impress women. They are obsessed with us, they center their existence, their whole world around us.

Recognize that. You are a woman. You are the prize. You are the center of his world and you need to make sure you stay the center of his world. Everything he does is to fool you or show you (depending on whether or not he is a HVM) that he is worth your time.

Value your time and energy. He has to work for you, not the other way around.
