He's communicating that he's not cool with her behavior and her response is to attempt to gaslight. You can't communicate with someone that thinks they're playing a game with you and is pretending they'll leave or that you're trash. The only sensible thing to do is cease their satisfaction at your expense, which means no contact.
Men, never be afraid to dare her to walk.
A relationship is full of compromise. But when a woman wants to meet other men while staying with you, that is her way of saying she's not mature enough to break up before jumping into something else. And that she definitely doesn't respect you enough to talk about it, otherwise she would.
Man . How did I get here? By giving in a little each time . Look where it got me. Guys never do that . You will lose your dignity and end up like me.
You probably did what lots of men do, you made her feel happy and powerful but at the expense of your own self development time, maybe even without realizing it. That can be completely your choice but it reflects how much you value yourself and your time.
The key to treating a woman(and most things) is doing it effortlessly. The only things you should do or get for a girl are easy things that cost you nothing, so insignificant that you won't ever think about it again. I always opt to make some art for a girl instead of buying something. Or taking her
with me to somewhere I want to go that I know she'll enjoy. You can be super picky with the more valuable stuff. This is how you get to the point where your girl is bringing up lovely things you did for her that you can barely remember and never think about. It's hard to give unconditionally, but it's much easier when you designate the time or give things you have no attachment to.
A healthy relationship involves mutual sacrifice and compromise. If you feel you're compromising and they're not you can attempt to talk it out. If that doesn't work then it's obviously not a good match. If you don't notice the one-sided nature then that means you subconsciously believe this is what you deserve. Luckily you've noticed, so all you have to do is have conviction in your decision.
