Wouldn't it be nice if there was a way to predict how well or poorly a man is going to treat you? Well, guess what? There is a way!
All you have to do is pay attention to the way he treats and talks about the other women in his life. Now, when I say "other women", I'm not referring to other women he's dating. What I'm talking about here are people like his mother, sisters, aunts, female co-workers, friends, and other women he interacts with on a random basis like restaurant waitresses, store cashiers, and so on.
What you’ll generally find is that the way he treats other women is a pretty good indicator of how he’ll treat you once you’re in a relationship with him.
I know it's tempting to think that your partner will always treat you better than all the other women in his life simply because you're his girlfriend and you’re both crazy about one another. But mark my words, once your relationship gets past that blissful honeymoon phase, I GUARANTEE that his true colors will come out, and he’ll start treating you just like all the other women he interacts with.
For example, several years ago, I dated a guy who admitted that he frequently lashed out at his colleagues at work, many of whom were female. He referred to them as “dumb bitches” and talked about them in a very derogatory manner. Instead of viewing this as a red flag, I simply brushed it off and didn't give it much thought.
But sure enough, as our relationship progressed, he began to lash out at me too. Anytime I disagreed with him, he got really angry and called me an idiot for not sharing his point of view. In other words, he treated me just as poorly as he treated his co-workers.
That’s why it's important to pay careful attention to how your partner treats other women because sooner or later, he’s going to treat you the same way. Chances are, if he treats the women in his life with kindness and respect, he’ll most likely do the same for you. But if he tends to treat them like crap, then at some point, he’s likely to treat you like crap too. It’s as plain and simple as that.
So now I'd like to hear from you. Take a moment to look back on your past relationships and notice if there was any correlation between the way he treated his female relatives, friends, and co-workers, and the way he treated you. Feel free to share your comments in the box below.
