Not about cheating.

One of the strongest foundations of any healthy connection stems from respect. Although love can keep someone in a relationship, respect is what will keep the relationship healthy and strong for a longer period. However, if respect is lost, I don’t think the relationship will survive, because many have fallen apart when respect disappeared.

I had a friend who would always promise his partner that he would be checking on her more often. But every time, something came up, maybe football, club or family engagement. In the beginning, she understood his explanation, but after so many weeks of broken promises, she finally gave up and stopped believing in him and all the things that he was saying,. She wasn’t angry with him, she simply stopped respecting and believing his words. She was expecting his actions to truly match his promises, but she couldn’t withstand any further jokes.

So, here are the 6 reasons why any woman may stop respecting you.

1. When you don't keep your words,.

Your promises might seem like nothing to you, but to her, it's a big deal. It shows what your character actually is, whether she will value you or not. So, if you constantly say things like "I will do what I've promised you" and then you never do or don't follow through,' she might begin to lose respect for you, because your words are already losing value.

2. When you allow people to disrespect you.

People and even your partner will stop taking you seriously, if you can't stand for yourself. Someone I knew was always a subject of jokes by his friends. But he would laugh over these jokes even when it bothered him. Then his partner would watch him and how the jokes happened all the time. Later, she realised that she can't value or admire someone who would never defend himself,.

As human beings, we are supposed to stand for ourselves no matter what,, it doesn't mean we're aggressive when we stand for ourselves, it means that we are creating a healthy boundary.

3. When you become desperate for her approval.

You constantly seek their validation instead of them just loving you for who you are. There is a clear difference between when someone genuinely love, and when you need to constantly beg them for approval I know a guy that cancelled the things he had planned with his family, his hobbies and other important things, just because he doesn’t want to lose his girlfriend,' or that he was afraid of losing her. But the girl didn’t feel loved upon hearing what he did, instead, she feels overwhelmed, and she eventually told him "I wish you were more confident". When you try too hard to keep someone, it can make them lose respect for you,.

4. When you refuse to take responsibility.

Mistakes are unavoidable because everyone makes mistakes. But mature people take responsibility and try to learn from their mistakes,. I could remember a colleague whose marriage ended because every fight was someone else's fault. He blamed his partner for almost everything. If she complained, he would say that she was just too sensitive. As time goes on, she realised that he can't handle responsibilities or accept his mistakes,. That alone destroyed the little respect she had for him more than the mistakes he actually made.

5. When you stop growing as a person.

If you continue to improve on everything people will admire you naturally. But if you have a dream, and you keep talking about it, but never take any step towards achieving that dream, and maybe your partner keeps encouraging you. She might eventually stop if she notices that nothing has changed, and she might think that you have no ambition,, no progress and no single effort. Remember it's not always about the money, it about having confidence in your future.

6. When you don't respect yourself.

You must know that self-respect is not about being arrogant,. You teach people how to treat you by the way you treat yourself. If you constantly insult yourself, or do not take poor treatment from others seriously, or believe you deserve just a little,. Your partner will lose respect for you, especially if she might have helped in encouraging you,' and showing you opportunities to improve, and yet you rejected them.

She will stop respecting you if she notices that you don't believe in yourself or are not living according to your values.,

Final thoughts.

You earn respect consistently through your actions, character and choices. Also, you can rebuild respect if you've lost any, by becoming more accepting of responsibilities, being more reliable, setting good boundaries and keep growing.
