Respecting women is about respecting their choice ‒ even the choice to say no. Women are able, rational beings ‒ by the virtue of being humans, and anyone who thinks they respect women must first acknowledge their ability to make decisions for themselves. Even if my relationship does not succeed, I don’t think it is the end of my life (it might be so in your patriarchal world). It is not a big deal because my identity is not defined by the man I take as a partner. Ending the relationship could be my choice too. Also, the success or failure of my relationship is for me to deal with, it is none of your business. Live-in relationships are beautiful, loving is beautiful.
