Y'all DO realize that alot of relationships still work when there's hardly any respect in it right? You see,for example,I've seen people with low self esteem ECT,get disrespected on a daily basis and still stay in relationship,oh,and actually lasts too,surprised ,by all means it's not Good for relationship,so some actually work,obviously not most ,but some,so some times, it boils down to who you're dealing with !!
and what you are willing to tolerate . Hi Caribbean boy :-)
Not much,I'm not one to tolerate much at all,cause for one ,I treat people like I'd like them to treat me,I'm a strong believer in that!:smile: waving

without a doubt low self confidence can be a factor in mistrust...Irrational thought processes.. Previous lived experiences and exposure to an environment where trusting is a challenge. As a baby trust is implicit . . We trust that those who care for us will love feed and nurture . Until we are shown otherwise . .in that regard it is a learned response . As our brain develops so does our cognition ... as adults we assign our own ideals of trust .. And boundaries that have meaning to us as individuals .


That reminds me of the beginning of one of the zeitgeist movies .Can't remember which one . Also part of Kymatica.
I have dealt with a case of chronic lack of trust that lasted more than a few years . It's very hard to teach people who have this to be shown another way , I have learned . Sometimes as adults we can assign the wrong ideals and become delusional , even paranoid .

As long as she respects my penis and that I am a dude that "only thinks with one head" then we are good. The one head will be exclusive to her mind you so I expect no complaints. :tongue: laugh

I used to believe that but nursing has brainwashed me and now I treat people as they want to be treated . .. There is a difference :-)
True dat,but i don't always do THAT,cause ain't everyone deserve to be treated the way the want to be treated,respect is earned,the right thing to do is respect everyone,what happens when they don't earn that respect anymore?I understand it with your job though!

I always start with respect - in any relationship. But when I loose respect (and that is so often - almost always connected with trust) then that relationship has no chance to survive. If I can�t trust him, I loose interest.

there are 2 major factor for relationship . first one is trust if you dont trust each other relationship will not gonna work whatever you do . trust is important for both sides so do trust your love one as much as possible.
2nd factor is respect without respect trust will not gonna work.
respect each other every second passes by on your relationship
and even your far away from each other you still need to respect him/her bec. you chooses him/her to be part of your life and he/she will be the one you can ask for help and he/she can give you advice wherever you are :D .


TRUST AND RESPECT = Long Term Relationship !

respect of his or hers otherness has to be for the relationship will not servive without it.....when two people who are attracted to each other at first meetup its about being one,what happens there is a point where they try to establish there own otherness and that is when the poo hits the fan....this does not leave out there script which has more to do with success or failure of the relationship....most spend more time learning how to do "things" rather then learning about themsevles and seeing there part in the relationships....happyness is said to be inside job however it is also a choice we make....

I'm not sure if there's an actual difference of opinion in any of these posts.

Respect is necessary. Getting your own needs met is priority number one. If someone does something to hurt you then discuss it. If someone demands too much of you and never gives back then get it resolved. If all that fails then leave.

and sometimes we think with our genitals ... I am sure sigmund has something to contribute .. Lmao . Trust is interesting .. As a behaviour and an emotion ... The two are interrelated and perhaps that is where paranoia and delusions creep in and override our ability to learn and evolve .. If it was purely a behaviour then pavlovs reward system would encourage us to be more trusting and develop less dysfunctional coping mechanisms .



I did think of pavlov training to introduce her to the world of trust .But was unable to get sponsorship for this project .It seems hard for people to understand the importance of this kind of experiment . And you can't slip electrodes onto anyone without their consent , that's not nice at all .

That's more like an emotional dependency situation than a relationship .A relationship being only functional is a compromise compared to a relationship built on strength . You have to be very insecure to depend on humiliation of the person in the relationship with you for it to function . I can say this is not for everyone and different people have different opinions on how they want to live their lives.
It's hard choosing to give strength to others if you feel weak yourself.

If you don't respect the person you're with, you shouldn't be with them at all. Simple as?
