 Stop allowing men to walk all over you. He won't respect you if you don't respect yourself and so this is something that a lot of women come to us with because women come to us not because they're having great relationships. Most women come to us because they're in a problem situation and they're trying to figure out how to set themselves up so that they're in a situation where they're feeling loved and valued and seen and appreciated and so a lot of women come to us and they're in these situations where they've been kind of emotionally, mentally, physically exhausted for days, weeks, months, sometimes years or decades where they haven't been really getting what they want in their relationships and a lot of times they're just they're trying to respect men so much they're trying to like they find this guy and they put him on a pedestal and they're like oh my god he's so amazing and then they let the guy walk all over him because they're scared of what's going to happen if they do something different so they don't end up setting boundaries they don't end up kind of reflecting the fact that they love and appreciate and value themselves and so the guy doesn't end up feeling those things for her and he ends up taking her for granted and he ends up kind of walking all over her and it's just not a good situation and this happens with both men and women so I don't think it's just like a men do this to hurt women thing this happens on both sides and it happens in regular friendships and regular non-romantic relationships as well it happens in negotiations it happens everywhere and so if you're not making sure that you're getting your needs met and that you have set boundaries that are important not just arbitrary boundaries but boundaries that are set up for very specific reasons then you you have a much higher probability chance of getting into the relationship that you want and having a man respect you and value you and prioritize you
