Do you know how to tell if someone respects you in a love relationship? Respect is defined as “a feeling of deep admiration for someone or something elicited by their abilities, qualities, or achievements.”
People with qualities that are “good, valuable, or important” is another way of describing respect.
Respecting someone’s humanity is perhaps the best kind of respect we can give (and receive.) How much more, then, should we respect someone who has given us their heart? their all.
Regarding respect and relationships, it isn’t possible to have one without the other. The two qualities are mutually inclusive in every healthy relationship, i.e. absent in toxic behaviors

| I'm ready to show you why you should always respect me! |
the man of high value respects your time
and how you spend it
Another sign of a healthy relationship is regard for each other’s time – no matter if it’s time spent together or apart. Concerning the former, a respectful man is reliable when it comes to yours (and others) time. He is rarely late; when he is, he has a good explanation. When you need some time, for whatever reason, he is considerate and respectful.
(Note: spending over an hour in the bathroom may be an exception to this rule.) A smart man should always have a 2nd bathroom to go to.
The man of high value doesn’t
get too jealous
He’s devoted himself to you and should be confident in your devotion to him. As such, a man who respects you doesn’t get too jealous. This quality also speaks to the man’s self-confidence – something (sadly) that is absent in too many insecure people. Commenting on Brad Pitt’s abs to put him down is disrespectful, ladies!

A man of high value doesn’t try to control you,
but he should prevent you from doing dumb things
Controlling behavior reeks of insecurity and, of course, disrespect. As mentioned, thoughtful men are neither of these things. A respectful man who loves you wouldn’t even contemplate taking any action that could be considered controlling. Enough said, so if you are out of control like a speeding car heading for a cliff, should he let you just go over, or stop you?
Your opinions are taken seriously
Opinions are a matter of individual perspective, and should always be respected. A respectful man actively listens and responds to your opinion. Moreover, the man is interested in what you have to say, regardless of whether he agrees or disagrees. Enough said!
The man of high value doesn’t escalate disagreements
At the risk of sounding overtly obvious, every relationship has disagreements and arguments (reverse that order) One sign of a high value man is respect – and he’s never inclined to intensify any disagreement or argument. He appreciates and respects the differences just as he does the similarities. Aside from demonstrating his respect, the ability to “agree to disagree” shows his strength of character.
The man of high value spends a good amount
of time with you.
A man who respects you willingly allocates a good amount of time making sure you’re happy. If you enjoy certain activities, he knows it and will go out of his way to make it happen. Even if he’s busy, a respectful man will sacrifice time he could spend elsewhere – at work, hanging out with friends, etc. – for you to know that you’re a priority. ( but he should be allowed his alone time.)
Final thoughts
KISS - Keep It Simple Silly.
A high valued man who respects you willingly allocates a good amount of time, to keep value as a top priority. If you enjoy certain activities, he knows it and will go out of his way to make it happen. Even if he’s busy, a respectful man will sacrifice time he could spend elsewhere – at work, hanging out with his friends, etc. – for you to know that you’re a top priority. He even sends you notes during the day.
