Ways Women May Disrespect Committed Men and How to Handle It

Hey guys, today we're digging into something important. When you're in a committed relationship, it's not always smooth sailing. Sometimes, even when you’re doing everything “right,” you might notice shifts in her behavior, and it can be confusing. This can feel unfair, especially if you’re putting in a lot of effort. So, here are five ways that I’ve seen women tend to disrespect committed men, and how you can handle it.

1. Showing Less Physical Interest

Early on, there’s often a lot of chemistry, but once she’s committed to you, her enthusiasm can drop off. Why? Sometimes, she’s testing your value. If she senses you’re highly confident or that other women might find you attractive, she may downplay her interest. This isn’t necessarily intentional; it’s a response from “Mother Nature,” where she’s wired to test your resilience.

The key? Don’t let it shake your confidence. Remember that this is a game of perception, and maintaining your self-worth is your power.

2. Unnecessary Attitude and Unhappiness

You may notice that the more you try to make her happy, the less she seems to appreciate it. When you’re constantly giving, she may start questioning your value. If you’re spending more time trying to meet her needs than focusing on your own life, she could start feeling unsatisfied.

Here’s the solution: keep some focus on your own goals and priorities. This keeps you centered, and she’ll appreciate that you’re a man with purpose.

3. Comparing You to Other Men

Social media makes this one even tougher. You might notice her comparing you to people she sees on TV or online. This is because women often idealize a “perfect” partner. But here’s the truth: you can’t be everything. If you dress well, she might want you to be more rugged; if you’re hardworking, she might wish you were more relaxed.

The best approach? Own who you are, focus on your strengths, and don’t try to be someone else. Confidence in your unique qualities will make her respect you more.

4. Complaining About What Made You Attractive in the First Place

Maybe she was drawn to your ambition or discipline. But over time, these qualities might be what she complains about. Your drive, your commitment to the gym, or your focus on success can suddenly feel “boring” to her. This happens because the qualities that make a man successful aren’t always flashy; they’re about routine and consistency.

Stay the course. Don’t give up the traits that make you who you are to appease anyone. A man’s routine and purpose are key to his attraction and strength.

5. Punishing You for Commitment

Here’s a tough one: once you commit, her perception of you can shift. It’s almost as if she’s wondering why you chose her, which can lead to her questioning your value. In her mind, if you’ve committed, maybe you’re not as desirable as she thought. This is where hypergamy—the tendency to look for the highest-status partner—kicks in, and it’s often subconscious.

What’s the solution? Create a little distance now and then. Keep your sense of independence and let her see that you’re still that attractive, sought-after guy she was first drawn to.

Remember, you attract what you are. Work on your internal value, and you’ll attract the right kind of woman into your life.

You are not a victim. You are a Headman.
