i have always said the #1 thing a man needs in a relationship is RESPECT

[chiefrunningbear]

Gotta say, this channel has brought me out of my "safe shell" and tore down that fairy tale that was embedded in me. Never felt more alive.

Any woman that treats a man with contempt or speaks to him in a condescending way is usually a textbook narcissist and should be kicked to the curb very quickly. Learned this the hard way..

[michaeltobin]

I’m 56, my parents never argued in front of me or my siblings. The never ever yelled verbal abuse at each other, it is something I never have tolerated from a female partner.

Great video. I agree that contempt is like pouring acid on a relationship. That’s why it is best to remain single. As a divorce attorney, I have had front row seats in divorce court where wife is beyond nasty, filled with contempt toward the plow horse
/ beta husband for no apparent reason. I’ve seen cases where guys will put up with this type of behavior for decades before finally taking action. If you get a whiff of contempt, run. DO NOT MARRY.

Women respond well to firm action and boundaries. The real question is this > Is she worth it?

[JALA]

Hand in Hand with respect in general. If your woman doesn't respect you she has zero desire for you.

Lol I’m happy AF single. Don’t plan on ever living with another woman

[DewTime]

I agree. I read an article once in which this old couple said that communication is not the number one thing in a relationship. It’s respect. Once respect is gone, no amount of communication is going to save the relationship. You can communicate all you want with someone you don’t respect, but why would you stay with someone you don’t respect?

Big facts! when this starting happening to my ex and I. It instantly drove a stake between us both and it just slowly died til I walked away. Then saw it with my sister and her husband. She would rip him a new one in front of anyone including his family. That’s the nail in the coffin to any relationship.

My last LTR didn't work out because of mutual contempt. She grilled me for not being at the top of my career, having too much fun, and immature potty humor. I grilled her for bad bedroom technique, not getting her nails done, making no effort to exercise + lose weight, and not furnishing her apartment. At the end of the day men are success objects and women are beauty objects and we were mutually underwhelmed.

I'm 5 yrs post divorce and plan on remaining single the rest of my life. Anecdotally...among couples I know...friends, family, workmates...the vast majority seem to loathe each other. Makes for a lovely life.

[chariotsoffire]

So true. I dumped my last gf once i started seeing this. I knew what it meant so i ran for the hills!

[hibernian]

You have to - no matter what - for better or worse - ALWAYS be willing to walk away. You have to make peace with that fact BEFORE you enter a relationship. It doesnt matter if youre married with a kid, or 10 kids - if theres a line being crossed, if shes continuously abusive to etc after you warned her to stop - WALK AWAY. LEAVE. Thats the only real power men have left to them today. Your partner needs to know this boundary explicitly and that you have limits. Its not always the easiest thing to do, but you have to respect yourself. Respect from others will follow.

I experienced it in my marriage. My ex-wife’s mother and both of her sisters engaged in what can only be characterized as disrespectful, contemptuous, gratuitous, man-hating behavior. All 3 girls clearly learned this behavior from their mother. It was disgusting.

[shanem]

The science is solid behind this one. My ex wife was getting more and more contemptuous. I put boundaries in place and she could not handle the expectations for how she would treat me. It corroded our partnership. Then she started feeling "afraid" of me. She hit me once and that was THE END! I found rich and watched carefully and wrote a solid statement for the divorce. Now I have 50/50 custody, pay zero child support, and am working on my physique. Thank you Rich Cooper. Your advice to "not leave the matrimonial home" despite her feelings and actions was key. It is amazing how she gives zero shits about me...nothing after 17 years together. Contempt

[briank]

Men want to be respected, women want to be cherished…

[pdxitaliano]

In my life I've seen 30 divorces between friends and family. The precursor to contempt and disrespect is letting small insignificant problems become. Large contemptible problems. It's been 100% divorce when I've seen those issues

[georgevue]

Crazy: My wife gave me 14 great years until she got pregnant. After giving birth it was like a switch went off in her head that switched off 100% of her desire for me & told her to treat me with absolute disrespect. I wish I never married.

Contempt from a woman is a symptom from lack of proper vetting before the relationship and a lack of frame during the relationship from men. Inability to maintain masculine frame leads to this disrespect from her which starts the sh1t testing, and eventually her monkey branching out. She does it more confidently if her SMV is higher than his.
