8 Ways Men Make Women Disrespect Them  

Disrespect in a relationship can be a product of many different actions by either party in the relationship. It definitely comes from an action of one party that will warrant the disrespect from the other partner.

In this article, we are going to be looking at some of the things that men do that will make them lose their respect in the presence of their partners.  

If you do any of the things that we shall be discussing in this article, you are simply inviting your spouse to disrespect you. She will look down upon you. 

As a man, it is expected of you to command respect in the family. This, you can only achieve through diligence and hard work. 

But when you fail to do some of the things expected of you, it will breed disrespect in the family. Your partner and even some of her children will not respect you again.

Without further ado, let's dive deep into the issues. 

Borrowing Money From Your Wife

It is not a problem to be broke financially at a point in your life. What becomes a problem is when you use your brokenness as a conduit to be constantly taking money from your partner.

If you are fond of borrowing money from your wife without paying, she will lose every bit of respect she had for you. She will never respect you again.

In order not to get yourself disrespected because you are broke, you should minimize how you borrow from her. Whenever you get the money, please make sure you settle her first before thinking of any other thing.

Feeling overly dependent when you are supposed to be independent and takes charge of the welfare of the family can breed disrespect in the family. You will lose your dignity if you keep borrowing money from your wife. 

Failing to Provide for The Family

Failing to live up to the billing of a husband and man of the house can be a reason for your wife to disrespect you. 

When you get married or dating a girlfriend, you won't experience disrespect when all is moving well with you. But the moment things go from good to bad for you, you will start getting all forms of disrespectful behavior from your partner. 

When a man cannot provide the basic needs of the family, he will never be accorded the respect he deserves in the home.  

The partner will be quick to tell you that you are not a man enough because of your inability to provide for the family. In the worst instance, she might even leave you for another man. 

Womanizing 

When a man makes womanizing his stock in trade, his woman will never respect him. Jumping from one woman to the other is a quick way of losing your dignity as a man.

No woman has respect for a man who doesn't respect himself by sleeping around with random girls in the neighborhood. 

Some may argue that polygyny is allowed in most African cultures. Yes. But you should not be doing it outside. Show that you are the real man by bringing the other women in and taking care of them as your wives. 

This is the only way your partner will respect you. She might not approve of it in the initial stages, but you stamping your authority and making things happen as you wish will send a strong signal to her that you are truly the boss of the house.

Being Dishonest

Constantly telling lies can be a source of disrespect to you as a man. You should avoid lies in your life if you want to be respected by your partner.

Take it out of the marriage life, you will even accept the fact that when you are fond of lying, you are not respected among your peers. 

So, please avoid lies and regain your respect in the family. Say only the things that are true and stand by them even if it means standing alone. 

Disregarding Boundaries

Every human being has some level of privacy that they deserve in wherever they find themselves. This does not come to an end when a woman gets married.

You must respect yourself by not trespassing. Do not overstep your boundaries. She might want to be left alone at certain times of the day, and as a husband, you must accord her that privacy. 

But when you are good at trespassing and disregarding her boundaries, she will never ever respect you. She views what you did to her as disrespect, and she will retaliate by disrespecting you back. 

Insensitive Behavior

Insensitive behavior can include not being empathetic towards her situations. When she is at her lowest point, you need to be the one who will offer her the emotional support that she desires at that moment.

But when you are indifferent to her plight, she will also lose every bit of respect she used to have for you. Know that she is with you as a wife, and everything she's going through, you should offer your support.  

Disregarding Input

Another way to easily lose your respect is when you are quick to rubbish the inputs of your spouse in the relationship. 

As two adults who have decided to spend the rest of your lives together, you are expected to be making decisions together. Solicit her inputs when you are about to take a decision that will affect the family.

She has ideas that can be helpful to you. Do not make everything in the home about you alone. Even if her opinion is not really that important, you should find a respectful way of dropping it without hurting her ego. 

Not Being Able to Fulfill Promises 

There are some men who will promise you something and will never fulfill it. When you promise your partner something and you are not able to fulfill it, it affects her plans.

She might have already factored into her plans the promise that you made to her. You should always promise what you can fulfill. Keep your promises and do not be inconsistent in this regard. 

It is not all the time that you will be able to fulfill your promises, but it should not be the usual thing of failing to fulfill your promises. 

Conclusion

A man can be highly respected in the family if he is seen doing the right thing. In the other way, he can lose all the respect if he is doing some of the things espoused in this article. 

You should be firm in your relationship and avoid all the things that will make your partner to disrespect you. As men, respect means a lot to us. Let's not lose it.
