Some people find relationships complicated which is an erroneous thing to think. Although each partner may have his/her standards, it is often easy to outline them and make the other partner understand what you value and what you are anticipating in that same relationship.
One of the things you may be expecting as a female partner is respect. But how do you know whether you are being correctly respected and that perhaps you are not demanding “too much”?
Here is how:
1. He always listens with attentiveness when you speak and supports you when you need help
I a man gives you support when you need him and will constantly listen to what you say without interrupting, that is respect.
2. He is honest, kind, and prioritizes you
Prioritizing someone is not an easy thing. In these days where people have to work hard to pay bills, engage in other activities… and so on, it is good to acknowledge when someone spares some time and makes you a priority. That again is respect.
3. He appreciates you, he is happy when you do what you like
Appreciation is important since it drains the mind doing something without recognition. When he also accepts easily to see you do what you what, that shows he cares for you and respects you.
4. He will protect you no matter what
He does not need to take a bullet for you, but if he respects you, he will stand for you, comfort you, reassure you, and if in trouble, make you feel safe. He should be able to protect you both expressively and physically.
