Do men respect a woman who stands up for herself?

[Anonymous]

My ex said he doesn’t respect me because i stick around him, and allow him to come back into my life even though he treats me poorly. He is 100% aware of his behaviors but is an addict and has mental health issues. He told me that he would respect me more and would “want” me more if i stood up to him. Wtf? Can someone elaborate

[aceleon]

well to be honest i don't respect woman, to be absolutly honest i don't respect anyone until they gain it, i would respect a girl who doesn't became a doormat for anyone but not to me, if i am the one who you are against YOU ARE THE ONE WHO WİLL SUBMİT OR GO DOWN i'm not the guy you should try to stand your ground it is like a mouse trying to roar at a lion.

Yes, she has confidence and self respect. That's very cool and attractive too.

Tou have already mentioned that he suffers from mental issues, so i wouldn't be focusing too much on what he says 😄

[Billlewis]

Oh, absolutely. I certainly respect you, madam, if I may say so.

[Avicenna]

generally, yes they do

[Asker]

So what will it do, if i begin to start putting my foot down with him?

[Avicenna]

Might depend on what it's about. Everyone has red lines.
