2. Lack of respect for man
Respect isn’t a buzzword, but without it, nothing lasts, especially with men who know their worth. Sometimes a man does everything right: he doesn’t shout, doesn’t lie, doesn’t disappear, he takes care of others. And in return, he comes across as cold, ingratiating, mocking. “But who are you?” isn’t always spoken, but it is felt.
A woman may appear perfect on the surface, but this attitude stifles a man’s desire to be with her. Respect is not a bonus, but a foundation.
Andrei Konchalovsky: “A woman must respect a man, otherwise love is impossible. Falling in love, yes. Sex is possible. But love? Never.”
Self-respect is not demonstrative contempt. “I’m better than everyone else” is not a form of strength, but of loneliness.
3. Inability to dialogue
“I don’t want to talk right now,” “nothing happened,” “think what you want”… Does that ring a bell? These phrases destroy more relationships than infidelity. Because a man is not telepathic. A mature man wants to understand: What’s going on? Where did I go wrong? How can I fix it?
If a woman remains silent or uses silence as a means of manipulation, it turns her off. Not because the man doesn’t want to understand, but because he can’t . The inability to understand the person you’re talking to leads to helplessness, then irritation, and finally coldness.
Mikhail Labkovsky: “If you can’t talk, you won’t have a relationship. No matter how hard you try.”
The reason for the silence may be an insult, the fear of being vulnerable, or simply fatigue. But if this becomes a recurring pattern, the man eventually gives up. The relationship is a two-way street: if no one is walking in the opposite direction, they stop.
