I don't want to be a bitch to be respected in a relationship
The reason why I don't want to be in a relationship is because I don't want a man to think of me as a doormat.
I hate that I have to be "mean" in order for my partner to respect me. Being mean is draining. I don't like the idea of a man testing where my limits are. I don't like how some men perceive my softness, care and loyalty as an invitation to disrespect me.
I can place a boundary but I hate how a man will test me to see if I stand true it. I don't like being lied to, or manipulated. I want to believe the words you say because I automatically think you wouldn't do anything to jeopardize the relationship. I don't want to be hurt because "you're bored", or that "you have options" thinking I won't leave.
Men wouldn't be "lonely" if they just respected women. Feminism wouldn't even be a thing if women were seen as human too.
Why is it so hard for some men to do that?
