To be in a relationship with a woman who has been through ups and downs in her life and has been supporting herself is not very easy. She is her own superwoman, someone who has always been there for herself. When she is crying, and there’s no one with her to wipe her tears, she is the one to fight with all the dark days of her life, all by herself. It is not easy to please such a woman. They will not take whatever is being served on the table, because they know their self-worth. Women who are aware of what they deserve do not compromise on certain things in relationships.
Here’s what women with a clear idea of what they deserve from a man in a relationship:
To be respected: many girls do not consider it necessary and worthy to be genuinely respected and appreciated by their other half. More often than not, women happen to confuse gestures of disrespect with what they call “true love.” They believe that to submit themselves entirely to their partners and not to voice their opinions is the key to a happy relationship.
Girls, you need to realize that a healthy relationship is the one in which you can equally participate and contribute with your ideas/thoughts and be respected for it. Your partner should love and appreciate your inner and outer differences, shortcomings. Your man should recognize you, with all his heart, for who you are. Strong-willed and powerful women will never be around men who are ignorant enough to disrespect them in any manner, at any point in life.
Regard for her individuality and freedom:
All the ladies who have been there for themselves, who have been standing alone in the battleground of their life and fighting like nothing and no one cannot be caged, tethered to unjustified expectations and demands. The only chain that they would like to be tied to is the chain of true love, the kind that sets one free and makes every day better than the previous one. They will not give up their freedom. They will not give themselves up and be with someone who is not ready to accept her individuality and independence. The man who she chooses to be hers and the one who wants to be a part of her life would willingly let her have the social freedom and individual space that she requires or else she will feel suffocated, and suffocation is not what anybody would want to go through.
Someone who lets her be herself:
Well, a relationship isn’t meant to come with a rulebook, but that is something that a lot of men seem to forget. A strong woman will not readily sacrifice for the sake of a relationship. She has to be given a very compelling, substantial reason to place a man and a relationship on her priority list. She is who she is after going through a lot of hardships and difficulties. She has endured a lot of pain and experienced immense happiness during her journey that makes her the woman she has grown to be today. To expect her to give herself up entirely is absurd. She will love you as immensely as she loves herself, as long as you appreciate and accept her for who she is.
An unshakable foundation of trust:
A man who chooses a woman who makes her decision by herself and is her own support system, who will take risks and make choices on her own, should know that she will not be around someone who doesn’t trust her with her decisions. They want their partner to have faith and trust in them while they step out in the world. They will not let anyone else make decisions for them and will appreciate the ones who trust her judgments and choices.
Someone who loves with mad, intense passion:
A relationship is never only about sex for a strong woman. She isn’t full of lust, she has profound emotions in her heart. She will choose someone who will love her wholly and madly. She would want someone in her life who loves her honestly and fearlessly. She wants to be loved for her mind and heart and not just for her body and sexual desire.
Effort and Loyalty:
A woman of strength and faith will always look for effort and loyalty in her companion. She will not commit to someone who shows inconsistent attempts and whose commitment is questionable. She is protective of her integrity and will not allow the man to make her feel like a fool for falling for him. She will choose a man who will be loyal to her, who will only love her and will not fall for meaningless and short-lived attractions. She is going to ask for his effort and sincerity.
