do you feel like respect is a prerequisite to love? respect must be earned, do you feel like love must be earned also?

I *think* that feeling respected is a prerequisite for me (as a man) to be able to make her feel loved.

are you saying that your love is conditional based on if you feel respected by a woman?

Good question. I see love as a choice. When I feel disrespected I can still love someone. But since I also love myself I set boundaries, take space or even leave. This does not make her *feel* loved. If I feel respected otoh I become soft, caring and loving.

this makes sense to me thanks for sharing your thoughts~! <3
