When people take us for granted or treat us badly, it means
Examples of disempowering behavior and actions that may tell him that it is okay for him to continue in this vein are -
Letting yourself go phy`sically or in any other way may cause a m.an to have less respect for you. They are visual creatures and tend to lose respect for people who seem to have low self-esteem and do not seem to have respect for themselves.
Toler`ating less than civil conversations, allowing your opinion and your point of view to be dismissed.
He has sarcastic ways of communicating with you, and you don't react.
Shrugging it off if he stands you up or br`eaks promises instead of confronting him, and letting him know this is not acceptable.
Displaying jealousy of other wo.men.
Apologizing to him for things you have not done or said "sorry" all the time as if you were apologizing for your existence.
Acting like a child or addressing him only in baby talk.
Nagging him about how he spends his time or probing him about his whereabouts.
Portraying yourself to him and others like a victim in the relationship.
Rescuing him or making excuses for his bad behavior every time he disappoints you.
If he is an addict or alcoholic - enabling him can have him lose all of his respect for you, even though you are technically doing what he wants you to do.
Texting or calling him constantly in an obsessive or pos`sessive manner
Exhi`biting or talking about a fear of abandonment, as this is what tells him it is very easy for him to co`ntrol you and make the rules of the game because you will do anything necessary to keep him in the relationship.
These behaviors may make the guy believe he has you forever and that "he will never lose you no matter what." You are making agreements with him that he can treat you any way he likes and send him the message that if he does leave that he has nothing to lose.
