It’s no secret that every
relationship is built on trust, respect, and mutual understanding. But what if
your partner acts as if you can’t make decisions or understand basic things?
Many women experience this, but they don’t always recognize the warning signs
right away. If your man does these things, he may not take you seriously and
think you’re less intelligent than you are. Or let’s put it bluntly – he thinks
you’re stupid.
➤ He’s constantly giving speeches and explaining things to you
Have you ever been talking about
your knowledge or experience and your man suddenly starts explaining something
to you that you’ve known for a long time? This is a classic example of
mensplaining - a situation in which a man speaks in a patronizing tone, without
considering that you may know the subject even better than he does.
➤ He doesn’t respect and ignores your opinion
In a healthy relationship,
decisions are made together. If your partner ignores your words, always insists
on his own way, and pretends that your ideas don’t matter, this is a worrying
sign. He may not even hide that he thinks your suggestions are stupid and that
you constantly don’t understand something – as if you are incapable of making
decisions like an adult.
➤ He supposedly compliments you, but in reality he insults you
Some men are good at saying things
that seem like compliments, but are actually demeaning. Phrases like “You’re so
sweet when you try to explain something” or “Well, you’re a girl, you’re
forgiven” are not compliments, but a way to show that he thinks you are less
intelligent.
➤ He constantly makes jokes about your naivety
Jokes are normal and enjoyable,
but if a man constantly makes you look stupid by telling his friends about your
“funny” actions, this is a reason to think twice. Especially if the stories
don’t make you laugh.
➤ He interrupts you and doesn’t let you finish the conversation
You start telling a story or
expressing an opinion, but he immediately interrupts you? This is a
demonstration of disrespect and the belief that his thoughts are more
important. Over time, this can lead to you simply stopping expressing your
opinion.
➤ He doesn’t believe in your abilities
If a man regularly questions your mental abilities, pretends that you won’t get anywhere without him - this is not caring, but devaluing. He may tell you that you can’t handle a new job, that you shouldn’t try anything new and challenging because “it’s not for you.”
All of these are methods of manipulation that clearly show
that your partner underestimates you and thinks you’re stupid.
