“To love is not to look at each other, to love is to look together in the same direction.” Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
Sometimes women act as if men "owe" them something or as if they are completely dependent on them. Neither of these two things is good for either women or men. Emotional dependence is very negative because it does not allow either of them to grow. When we say that ideal love is when two people complement each other, it does not mean that one cannot exist without the other, but that there is mutual support and growth at the same time.
You have to understand that relationships are a two-way street and that if someone feels stagnant, undervalued or overvalued, they will not be able to move forward. Relationships thrive when there is connection and balance.
For a smart woman, respect is one of the most important values. Today we tell you what a smart woman never demands from her romantic partner.
Women who value themselves know this and do not expect the next thing from a man.
1. She doesn't force him to give up what he loves.
Smart women do not force the men they are with to give up what he loves. They enter into a relationship with a man who already suits them the way he is. A self-respecting woman will never agree to play the role of a mother to someone and teach them what to do and what not to do.
If he loves football, she lets him play or watch it, and in the meantime she gets to enjoy what she loves!
2. Share your interests
Just because you're dreaming of a salsa night doesn't mean he likes to dance too! A self-respecting woman will never force a man to do something she enjoys because she knows he'll only pretend to enjoy it. Who needs that pretense?
Instead, try to find an activity you both enjoy together, and you can still go salsa dancing with your friends.
3. Change friends
In true love, the other person is never asked to give up anything, be it a friendship, a hobby, a part or feature of their life.
Smart women do not force men to change friends. She respects the individuality and freedom of her partner, does not forbid or impose on him someone he can or cannot relate to. She trusts her partner's judgment in choosing friends and does not feel threatened or envious of them. In addition, she maintains friendships and personal space, without neglecting the relationship.
This also applies to family, and to the fact that women often ask men to stop communicating with people who, in their opinion, are not suitable for either him or them. If you don’t like his relative, don’t communicate with him. What if you don’t like his mother? It’s more complicated here. But you can always meet only on big occasions and at other family gatherings, and reduce communication the rest of the time.
But never force him to cut off all contact with them, because in the end it will always backfire (he will blame you for it at the slightest argument).
4. Change his qualities or habits
A smart woman knows that she is in a relationship with a man who will only change if he wants to change. And for this reason, any insistent demands that he change to fit some ideal in her head are useless. But that doesn’t mean you can’t gently encourage him to be a better man.
5. She doesn't require him to worry about her excessively.
A woman who values herself will never expect or want a man to take care of her alone. He should take care of their children, if they have any. She should be the one taking care of her own needs.
It often happens that a woman places all responsibility for her mood, her happiness, her life on a man. This can also apply to everything that concerns food, clothing, entertainment and life in general. No addiction is healthy!
