Society & Culture:Relationships
The idea of “respect” comes up quite often in our work with couples. Consider the following:
- How do you “know” your partner respects you?
- In what ways do you act respectfully towards your partner?
- What behaviors does your partner do that make you feel respected?
It’s often easier to identify the actions that make us feel disrespected, like:
- Being yelled at or talked down do
- Feeling your time and commitments are not being taken into consideration
- Not feeling acknowledged or appreciated for your efforts
Experiences like these happening consistently are a drain on your emotional bank account. If you perceive your partner doesn’t respect you, it’s time to have a conversation. Notice that I said “if you perceive your partner doesn’t respect you,” not “if your partner doesn’t respect you.” The truth is this matters because you don’t feel respected. It’s doesn’t necessarily mean your partner doesn’t respect you, it means they are doing (or not doing) that communicate disrespect.
In this week’s episode, we’ve identified three ways to feel more respected in your relationship. To learn more, be sure to tune in!
