Disrespect is a relationship killer whether married, defacto, poly, or any other form of romantic linkage
I've never been married but perhaps the quickest way to ruin a relationship is either partner to start dis-respecting the other person regardless of how it's perpetrated and expressed.
One way women show it is cheating due to hypergamy (women always on the lookout for the 'next best thing') but I don't know that men think like that due to the 'women vs men' sexual disparity:
- for women it's "who will I let sleep with me tonight?"
- for men it's "who will let me sleep with them tonight?"
Women cheat much more than men, but any cheating is wrong.
Disrespect from my second partner (we were not married) was a key reason I left amongst other things (DV, bullying/abuse, etc. directed at me and our newborn daughter after her birth). I had already resigned to life being sexless from day 1 of the pregnancy in late 2016 with our daughter in so the 'women vs men' sexual disparity ship had long sailed for me.
I'm remained single since ending that relationship in mid-2018. I find I can no longer trust women to show proper respect despite expecting it as part of their 'bare minimum' conditions.
