5 Signs He Does Not Respect You

Love is simply not enough to maintain a peaceful and happy marital relationship – a foundation of mutual respect is equally, or perhaps, even more important. A disrespectful spouse can disturb the healthy dynamics of a relationship. He may claim that he loves you and you know he does, but if he does not respect you, he does not deserve you. We receive many queries on disrespectful relationships (the ones without respect) and in many eventually the partner feeling slighted ends up thinking about divorce and in some goes through with it. Remember every couple will have arguments and fights, but sorting the differences respectfully is the only way to save your relationship.

Here are 5 signs and if you identify with them please know that he does not respect you and definitely does not deserve you. It can be a suffocating experience to be with someone who thinks nothing of you and is controlling in nature.

* You doubt your potential because of him

Instead of being confident in what you do or say, you keep doubting your potential. This is because your boyfriend or husband has instilled that doubt in you by making you feel inherently incompetent. He disregards your thoughts and opinions constantly to the point you start thinking they have no merit. You keep questioning your sensibilities, dreams, your future, and your life choices all day long. This is definitely a sign that your partner is not supportive and probably disrespects you.

* He seems distracted when you talk to him

Whenever you are in a conversation with him you give him your entire attention, and you expect him to extend the same courtesy, you naturally expect .him to pay attention to you. But if you notice that he often seems distracted when you talk to him then it is an issue. He may look through his phone as he is talking to you, or have that far-away look in his eyes which tells you that in his head he is somewhere else. Getting your husband to listen to you seems like a mammoth task because you have to nag him for his attention and then he shows disinterest in you because you are nagging him!

* Your boyfriend does not keep his promises

One big disrespectful trait in any relationship is when the man does not make any efforts to keep his promises and disappoints you repeatedly. He will keep forgetting things that are important to you, and even when you speak of them, he will not bother much. Maybe he will promise to call you and then conveniently forget about it or may even text you cancelling dates. All this is enough to give you the signal that you cannot depend on him and you are probably not that important in his life. At times they speak about you to others in an unhealthy manner and if this happens you need to address that firmly.

* He makes fun of your professional goals and dreams

No matter how absurd and weird your dreams and profession are, your partner is supposed to encourage you. If your man is making fun of your career and goals in life, then he is being selfish and has no right to judge you. He is disrespecting you by not valuing your vocation. We got a story of a person who claimed to love her and yet was very blatantly open about wanting to hook up with others.

* You hardly have any personal space and time

If he surprises you, once in a while by visiting your workplace or when you are out with friends, it is okay. But if he does this way too often know that this is a way of keeping tabs on you. And this can be something that you should think about seriously. He is probably stalking you because he feels insecure. Your man might not respect you enough to trust you and give you your personal space and time. This is a sign that he disrespects you.
