How Do You Walk Away From A Man Who Doesn’t Value You?
A man who doesn’t value you is not worth your time and energy, but you probably don’t need me to tell you that. Instead, I imagine you’re already aware of your bad circumstances; you just can’t seem to walk away.
Signs he doesn’t value you
There are two ways to look at values in a relationship. A man may genuinely care about you but has different views on significant factors such as children. Regardless of how compatible you are and how much you love each other, not agreeing with certain values can be a crucial reason to walk.
The other type involves a level of disrespect. He may flirt with other women, not commit to his fair share of household duties and tasks. Sometimes, his lack of value may border on emotional abuse, with tactics such as silent treatment.
The easiest way to spot that a guy doesn’t value you is to analyse your feelings and energy after spending time with them. Many years ago, I was dating a guy that left me feeling drained and stressed after our dates. I refused to acknowledge he was the reason why, even though he flirted with other women and backed out of plans frequently at the last minute.
Spotting the red flags
When someone values you, you’ll notice a sense of joy in talking to them. You won’t have to moan and nag, repeat yourself over and over, be ignored or cut off mid conversation. If you’re feeling stressed or overly busy, your partner will want to help release some of the burden. If you discuss something that’s bothering you, rather than place the blame elsewhere or on yourself, they will consider how to resolve the issue.
These are all things that sound simple and obvious when you put them together. I’m sure if a friend rang you and told you about a problem, you would naturally listen and try to help. Of course, you value your friend enough to show up when needed.
With partners, we can slide down a rabbit hole and end up in a love ditch where we gradually climatise ourselves to our low surroundings. We can place hope on crumbs thrown down to us, a way to convince us things will change. Read More…
