Episode notes
Disrespect Isn’t The Same As Disagreement
- Disrespect and lack of respect are distinct concepts in relationships.
- You can disagree without disrespecting a partner if you communicate differently.
Use The Boss Test For Respect
- Don't speak or behave toward your partner the way you wouldn't with your boss if you wanted to keep your job.
- Avoid contemptuous nonverbal cues like eye-rolling, dismissive sighs, and haughty body language.
Questioning Signals Power Imbalance
- Asking questions is a power move reserved for whoever holds authority.
- Interrogating a man about motives or whereabouts signals you place yourself above him.
