Why do men and women feel disillusioned in a relationship for different reasons? Women are destroyed by boredom, while men are destroyed by disrespect. Therefore, some things must be clarified before you enter into a commitment. For example, what role you hope the other person will play, what kind of intimacy you expect, how much companionship you need, how much space, and your communication style, including how you want to handle conflicts. These are not just ritualistic gestures; they are not just details. They directly determine whether your relationship can last long. Many people think these issues can be discussed later, but often it's already too late by then. Truly lasting and mutually fulfilling relationships start with honesty, clarity, and sincerity from the very beginning. It's not about being clever, but about knowing that if you can't even express your most genuine needs, then there's no real intimacy involved.
