Feeling like Digit is safe

hmmmm

i'll tick the "respect" box for this :3

how can you feel loved without feeling respected?

purrs_for_Her 6mo ago

i understand that these feelings overlap, but that's not exactly the question...

allow me to phrase the question this way:

in a relationship, what do you value more: emotional connection or recognition and acknowledgment?

librekitty 6mo ago

off the top of my head, i suppose emotional connection 💜

Feeling respected

purrs_for_Her 6mo ago

do you feel like respect is a prerequisite to love?

respect must be earned, do you feel like love must be earned also?

earthcuddle 6mo ago

I *think* that feeling respected is a prerequisite for me (as a man) to be able to make her feel loved.

purrs_for_Her 6mo ago

are you saying that your love is conditional based on if you feel respected by a woman?

earthcuddle 6mo ago

Good question. I see love as a choice. When I feel disrespected I can still love someone. But since I also love myself I set boundaries, take space or even leave. This does not make her *feel* loved. If I feel respected otoh I become soft, caring and loving.

this makes sense to me

thanks for sharing your thoughts~! <3
