At first I thought it would be funny to have a topic where The Ladies Man answers relationship questions, but I decided against it because, at least if the answers are in Ladies Man style, they'd be pretty crude. Instead I opted for just relationship advice we can think of.
Something I've often encountered with people having relationship problems is that they don't perceive affection from their partner. The problem often may be that they speak different love languages. There's actually a book on the five love languages, and it's highly recommended. Basically everyone has certain ways they express affection and they expect it to come to them the same way, but how one person shows it isn't the same for everyone else, often including their significant other.
Off the top of my head, the five love languages are physical touch, quality time, gifts, acts of service, and affirming words. If person A expresses affection through touch but person B is more about gifts, their messages may be falling on deaf ears. The love is there but it's not being perceived.
People may need a dialog to help understand each other to learn how to more effectively communicate affection.

The ladies man could have been fun. But I guess your right. Maybe to bad. Good advise by the way. I never heard of that.

I often see the poor advice that the woman is always right. This, of course, defies all logic, as everyone knows everyone is wrong at least sometimes. Everyone needs to own up to their mistakes and admit when they're wrong. I accept nothing less.

I dont get it. who is the lady's man? It's a recurring character from Saturday Night Live quite some time back; I'm wanting to say late 90s.

I looked up vids of Lady's Man. That might of been funny if we did that. I definitely see why we didn't.

Don't go to bed angry.
I suppose that might not sound like a big deal, but going to bed angry with our significant other is like having a bad flesh wound that we completely ignored and did nothing to treat. Instead of healing overnight it can infect and fester. Laying there fuming over whatever we're mad about can mean loss of sleep that gets held against our partner, and dwelling on it all night keeps building anger upon anger. It's better to try resolving the issue before laying down to rest.

These have been interesting so far. Got any more? I reckon I'll think of something but I don't exactly have a list written down. I'm waiting for something to bring something to mind. I imagined other people maybe adding to this.

A religious person might say to count your blessings. I say to focus on the good rather than the bad. Life is a mixed bag and our relationships are no different, but appreciate and hold onto the good moments and good memories rather than dwelling on the bad.

It can take years building trust but only an instant to destroy it.
