Some women have pretty big egos and refuse to acknowledge their flaws or mistakes. This and that women have a significantly easier time finding relationships which further inflates their egos and makes men more desperate to keep their partners to where they might not argue to avoid breaking up. There’s a lot of sayings like “happy wife happy life” and “women are always right” where relationships between men and women are often focused on appeasing women in exchange for a relationship and sex
Hate me all you want for saying this. It's because of their inflated sense of value that they believe a man is replaceable if he doesn't conform to her desires. In my opinion, it's a direct result of social media and more specifically the "girl boss" culture. I'd recommend finding a more mature woman that values your thoughts.
I feel like you can’t really gender a relationship that lacks compromise. From what I’ve seen, the person who refuses to compromise and says the other person has to accommodate them is just the one that wants to feel more needed/useful/superior to the other person and I’ve seen that in all kinda of relationships so🤷🏻♂️
everyone else makes decent points, but it also heavily depends on the issue. If it’s something like hygiene, that’s very much something that one person fixes and not something to compromise on. Sometimes people also just generally want more of some sort of affection, and there’s not really an easy way to compromise on that, since the goal is already just some sort of increase.
I feel like a lot of woman who preach empowerment, loving themselves, self-respect and setting boundaries are actually only preaching narcissism , selfishness and entitlement. (I say this as a woman.) Those things by themselves are good but not when used to control/manipulate others. Relationships have two people in it not one.
Agreed. Empowerment for women is obviously good but the whole “it’s my way or the highway” bit is unrealistic and even narcissistic. Being able to easily replace who they’re dating feeds this by allowing them to get away with it because men would be passive in order to continue dating or the woman can flat out replace them with ease. The amount of men would also skyrocket their ego which creates a positive feedback loop
I guess I should also add that I feel like guys are generally less likely to make requests like that, and it makes it hard to say “We’ll work on these two things” if there’s not something the guy is comfortable asking the girl to work on, whether that’s because he can’t think of something or because he doesn’t want to hurt her feelings
