Signs of Disrespect in a Relationship: Why do my standards feel like too much for him?
Signs of Disrespect in a Relationship — Why do my standards feel like too much for him A compassionate guide for women healing from emotional exhaustion...
Let me tell you something nobody wants to say out loud. You aren't losing your mind and you aren't "too much." You are just exhausted from trying to build a home inside a man who refuses to even provide the foundation.
You’ve spent months, maybe years, looking for excuses for why he treats you like an option instead of a priority. You’ve been scanning for Signs of Disrespect in a Relationship because your gut is screaming that something is wrong, even when he tells you that you're just being "sensitive." It’s not your sensitivity that’s the problem. It’s his indifference.
A loyal woman's love is a powerful thing, but it was never meant to be used as a shield for a man who won't show up for himself. You didn't imagine the shift in the air. You didn't invent the coldness. You recognized the truth, but you stayed because you thought your endurance would eventually earn his respect. It didn't. Respect is the baseline, not a reward for how much pain you can COLLOURE.

You kept telling yourself that if you just explained your feelings one more time, or if you found the "perfect" way to communicate, he would finally get it. He had you believing that the breakdown in communication was a puzzle you hadn't solved yet.
