Well, you talk about my own responsibility in meeting a woman that i would deserve. I stated that i'm respectful, sincere and down to earth because these are things very important to me, and important to find in a partner. I don't tolerate disrespect coming from my partner, or dishonesty, or girls who live in their own twisted reality. What does that say about me?
Chances are there is a disconnect between who you think you are and what you actually do. Don't take that the wrong way. As an example, a friend once asked me if the word "please" can ever be implicit. I had to tell her no, because the word is the most important part of it. YOU HAVE TO SAY IT. It doesn't mean she is impolite or rude when she doesn't say it, but she can't kid herself into thinking etiquette goes without saying. Manners count.
My main question is if you don't tolerate disrespect, how do you go about expressing your intolerance? People react to what they are given, and if you're getting static from your woman I would investigate the root of her acrimony.
What has triggered this occasion? Was it something you said or did?
Regardless.
However it started, it is incumbent upon all of us to squash beef as quickly as possible. If you feel like you're not the one who should eat a little shit, then maybe you're not a respectful as you may think. Respecting someone who does everything you want is easy -- so easy maybe we can't even call it respect anymore.
I'm not saying respect must come after trial and tribulation, but respect DOES mean you need to understand other people have a different way of handling their lives and business. Sometimes those ways punch you right in the stomach. But I look at it like this: what if this was your child? What would you do if your child went against everything you wanted? Would you abandon your child?
Our significant others are not our children, but sometimes they act like kids. This is good because it means they are comfortable in our environment, enough to be themselves. They've deigned to spend time with us, and we incriminate them if they don't heel to our whims. Is that respectful, is that tolerant? Or is that just our lazy sense of entitlement getting upset over something we never even had in the first place?
If you want to be treated better, you can condition your significant other to treat you that way. It just takes effort. You have to work your life or else your life works you.
Was this what you wanted to hear?
