Respect is vital for a happy, healthy relationship whether it’s romantic or you’re just friends. If you want your relationship to last, make sure you demand respect from your boyfriend and guyfriends. Get basic respect by identifying and standing up for your needs. Establish boundaries by talking things out in a firm, assertive manner. You should also support your boyfriend and guy friend in return. Respect is a two way street.
1. Understand Where His Lack Of Respect Comes From
There are lots of reasons why men find it difficult to respect women, even if this is an unconscious decision.
There’s still a stigma around women not being as capable as men – not as intelligent or determined, and less worthy of success.
This comes from a long history of inequality and sexism and, while it’s improving, there’s still a long way to go.
It’s important to remember that a man’s lack of respect for women isn’t always fully intentional.
That’s not to say that it’s not offensive and upsetting, but that it’s good to be aware that some of it is not as deliberate as we may think.
