How does a woman respect herself and gain respect from her man without being arrogant or too independent? Let’s take a moment to learn how to earn the respect in a relationship, and you will be surprised how these behaviour can lift up your self-respect too! 1. I respect myself for not opening his inbox and personal accounts without his consent A lot of women think that being in a relationship means you have to share everything – including the exact balance in your bank account. Unless you are married with a shared account, it is healthy to keep certain personal details, personal. If you find yourself checking his iPhone or emails every time he is in the shower, you should be questioning yourself: are you feeling secure in this relationship? 2. I respect myself for not making a scene when we argue in public The lover’s quarrel is an inseparable part of a relationship, but it should be kept between the two of you. No respect is gained from shouting to your man across the bar while 100 other pairs of eyes are watching. 3. I respect myself for saving up to buy expensive things When you reach a certain point in a relationship, financial dependency to the male counterpart grows. However, it is respectable of a woman to save up for her own Marc Jacobs or Prada bags. It is a painful and long process to save up, but you will walk a little taller knowing in your heart, you have earned the tote you are carrying. 4. I respect myself for making a stance on issues and arguments This includes making a stance on physical and verbal abuses. If you are not in the mood to get physical, you have every right to say no without being degraded or sidelined. In every argument you have with your partner, take a stance without turning sulky afterwards – that way, you have earned the respect as an equal partner instead of just being a trophy. 5. I respect myself for not calling him every 5 minutes throughout the day Again, this involves insecurity issues. Well, aren’t we all a little insecure inside? As much as you want your ‘me time’ and leeway over PMS days, he wants a bit of room to himself too. When we think about it, what difference does it make if we contact him every 5 minutes or so? Show him you care, and shower him with TLC, but don’t mix them up with possessiveness. Venusbuzz says: The advice our mothers and grandmothers gave us to play a little cool when it comes to boys – stays true in terms of respect. Boys, no matter how modern or old they are, still adore those women who stand on their own feet. Respect yourself and you shall be respected.
