Hi, my name is Antone Christopher and I am the author of The Bitter Man's Guide to Dating and The Bitter Woman's Guide to Dating and I'm here today on behalf of Expert Village. In today's segment I'd like to discuss respect. You know I see so much disrespect in relationships these days and I'm really frustrated about it. I see a lot of guys don't treat their girlfriends right, a lot of husbands, wives that are arguing and it's just very sad to see this and I really want people to be happy in a relationship, that's why I'm here. A lot of times women will accept this abuse or this disrespect from their husband's or their boyfriend's and they'll stay in it because they're too scared to stay alone or to move on. So they'll keep staying in these relationships that are not right and the same thing with guys. You've got to respect yourself and your partner and if you don't you've got to get out, you've got to move on. Let me read to you a little bit from my book and give you an example of what I see as some disrespectful acts. First of all if you have to have it your way most of the time, in other words it's all about you and you don't show equality in your relationship, then you're displaying an act of disrespect towards your partner and this is really bad. You definitely don't want to be doing that. If you're not giving respect for attention to your partners emotions and sensitivities, then you're definitely displaying a lack of respect. You can't be doing this, if your boyfriend or girlfriend wants to do something and she appreciates something, go along with her, help her out and the same thing with him, understand each other. As long as it's positive and it's healthy you must support your partner, your date. Remember, I have some words of advice for you; respect, if you don't give it you'll never receive it and if you don't have it you'll never get it. Thanks a lot of listening and please check out more of my tips on love and compatibility on Expert Village.
