I Think Real Men Will Always Respect Women

I see some guys who are always talking down to the women in their life. Girlfriend, Mother, whoever it may be. I get it, as men we can have short tempers and get annoyed, but it doesn't make it right... and I get it, women can get bitchy and annoying sometimes... but really, show some respect, especially in public. When I see a woman being demeaned, scolded or talked down to it makes me sick to my stomach. There is absolutely no reason for that. Couples will fight and disagree, it comes with the territory, but work it out in private, respectfully. Come to some sort of compromise you can both live with.

I know there will probably be some day that I will probably do the exact thing I am complaining about but I hope that day never comes, and if it does, I hope those days are few and far between, and that she forgives me for it... whoever she may be.

respect is a two way street

Yes it is, but publicly scorning someone you supposedly love over and over again, as I have seen from so many couples doesn't help. Yelling, degrading, talking down to, name calling, etc around other people just makes things escalate. Bring it up when you are alone together, in a calm rational way, discuss it and come to some sort of understanding. Doing it in public just makes one partner feel worse than they ever had to and they may be more willing to work it out when they don't feel 2 inches tall and punished like a 4 year old
