Just like trust, loyalty, and faithfulness, respect is of the utmost importance in a relationship. Without it, your relationship is bound to fail. If you often find yourself questioning whether or not your partner truly respects you, you need to take a long, hard look at your situation. A lack of respect, whether it be blatant, condescending, rude, or otherwise, means there\u2019s an imbalance of power<\/span><\/span>, which is why it\u2019s so important to recognize the signs of disrespect early on.<\/p>\n

A partner is supposed to be just that \u2014 a partner. Someone who supports your goals, shares your responsibilities, and respects your opinions. If any of these five signs sound familiar, your partner doesn\u2019t respect you.<\/p>\n

 <\/div>\n

1. Your partner shows up unannounced<\/h2>\n

Surprising you with flowers on a random Wednesday is a welcome treat; showing up unannounced when you\u2019re clearly busy or have a lot going on is not. If you find your partner repeatedly popping up at inopportune times, at inconvenient places, there\u2019s a problem. As mentioned in The Frisky, if he or she shows up at your work, class, or home<\/span><\/span> unannounced and uninvited, causing a scene, they don\u2019t respect you.<\/p>\n

2. Your partner uses gaslighting techniques<\/h2>\n

If you often find your partner<\/span><\/span> using sneaky techniques to keep you in check, he or she doesn\u2019t respect you. According to YourTango, \u201cGaslighting is a phrase assigned to an emotional abuse technique that has one partner<\/span><\/span> convincing the other that reality is an illusion. If your partner is denying they said and did things or blaming you for saying and doing things you didn\u2019t, it\u2019s abusive.\u201d Have you ever known a person who, no matter how at fault they may be, somehow seems to vaguely skate over the issue, turning around on you? Dealing with a person like this is infuriating. If this is your partner\u2019s norm, it\u2019s likely it will never change.<\/p>\n

3. Your partner treats sex as a transaction<\/h2>\n

Anytime a person expects<\/em> sex in exchange for something, the most basic form of respect is tossed out the window. Sex should never be used as a method of coercion or a form of payment. It\u2019s your body, and it certainly doesn\u2019t belong to anyone else, no matter how committed two partners may be. If your partner does the chores, is it your job to owe them a sexual favor? No. Sadly, though, not everyone takes the same stance on the issue. Case in point \u2014 this article from The Stir that calls out Pat Robertson, host of a call-in show, who has claimed that wives should thank their husbands with sex each time they do chores around the house<\/span><\/span>. No, just no.<\/p>\n

4. Your partner isn\u2019t proud of you<\/h2>\n

Just as you\u2019ve strived for your parents\u2019 approval throughout your life, seeking those heavily-weighted words of acceptance, you want the same from your partner. To hear \u201cI\u2019m proud of you,\u201d from someone you respect is a big deal, and it\u2019s important that both partners take pride in the relationship. When your partner is proud of you, and proud to be with you, Bustle says, there\u2019s a mutual respect for one another. Could you imagine being in a relationship in which your significant other doesn\u2019t really<\/em> think you\u2019ve worked hard for your career? Without a partner who\u2019s genuinely proud of you, your accomplishments, and your overall contributions to your relationship, they clearly don\u2019t realize or value your worth, and you shouldn\u2019t stand for that. Ever.<\/p>\n

5. Your partner refuses to compromise or negotiate<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s only natural the person closest to you will get under your skin, and part of a relationship<\/span><\/span> is being able to discuss life\u2019s major challenges as a team. But when one person in a relationship isn\u2019t willing to act as a team, there\u2019s bound to be long-term issues. A big part of respecting someone is being able to reach a compromise in which both parties are satisfied with the outcome. The Centers for Family Change says, \u201cRespect is established when you consistently: consider and value the feelings and opinions of your partner; talk to and treat your partner<\/span><\/span> in ways that you would want to be treated; and compromise and negotiate with your partner.\u201d If you and your partner aren\u2019t doing this, you\u2019re not getting the respect you deserve.<\/p>\n\n
