Respecting your partner is deeper than just staying faithful. Respecting your partner means to also respect their voice and allow them to be heard. Respect is communication. Respect is avoiding the same mistakes or things you know will make your partner mad/sad. Respecting your partner is thinking before you speak. Respecting your partner is being their number one fan. Respect is sometimes 'just' an attempt to understand. Respect is empathy. Respect is effort. Respect is love.
Women want men to love every version of them: the trauma, the baggage, the mood swings, all of it.
But once a man brings his own wounds to the table, suddenly he’s “too much.”
The audacity of demanding what you won’t deliver is wild.
