Are you dating a man who doesn’t respect women? Learn the signs to look out for and take action to protect yourself and your well-being.At first glance, kindness and attention are enough for a strong relationship. But before you rush headlong into romance, make sure your partner respects you. Below are 7 signs that everything is not as rosy as it might seem.
Signs You’re Dating a Man Who Doesn’t Respect Women.
He is confident that you will do all the housework.
Researchers have calculated that on average Russian women spend about twice as much time as men doing housework, as well as studying and caring for children and other family members. The difference is already impressive – but if your gentleman joked about “a place at the stove” and told about a man’s purpose to exclusively provide for the family – this is an alarming signal. The ability to use a washing machine and a vacuum cleaner does not depend on gender.
He calls women unflattering names
A man who respects women will not call them names. However, some individuals may accidentally stage a theater of the absurd – in front of you, the girl, they will say something about “all women”. Perhaps at such moments it seems to you that you are that “goddess” against the background of simpletons, but over time you will see that you will not receive respect from such a gentleman – you simply do not want to deal with someone like that.
He makes it clear that he is above you.
Here, everything is as simple as possible: if someone is higher, then someone is lower with all the ensuing side effects. If your man treats you more like property than a life partner, remind him that serfdom was abolished long ago. It is unlikely that you can build a long-term relationship with such a person: disrespect at the beginning of a relationship is a harbinger of future betrayal. You deserve more!
He comments on how other women dress.
Strict requirements for your wardrobe are a reason to think about it, but shameless attention to other girls in your presence is double disrespect. Especially if the comments concern revealing and unacceptable outfits from a man’s point of view. If you are both interested in fashion – great, if his remarks are tinged with contempt – it’s a matter of time before they are directed in your direction.
He acts like you owe him sex
A man’s behavior in the bedroom can tell you a lot about his respect for women. While passionate sex requires a certain amount of assertiveness, aggression in the event of a refusal to submit to his wishes should confuse you. Mutual consent is the golden rule for both sexes. And violence, even in the heat of “love,” is unacceptable. This is the behavior of egoists who respect only their own desires.
He treats his mother badly.
With rare exceptions, a simple rule applies: a man will not treat you better than his own mother. I am not talking about mama’s boys, but about the fact that a mother is the first important female figure in a boy’s life (as well as a girl’s). If a man is rude and disrespectful towards such a close person, you have every reason to break up with him before things go too far.
