A male United States age 36-40, Daniel the love doctor writes:

How much do you respect your partner? Do you treat them less than what they're worth because of their gender? Do you not value their thoughts or opinions as much as you would say a family member, friend, or close counsel? Well if you disregard how they feel, then there are a few things you may have to consider...

1. Your partner may change...and not for the better. When you treat him/her bad, you run the risk of your partner becoming more angry, argumentative, resentful, or at the very least not willing to give you their all. And if you believe in Karma, then you should know that anything you do (good or bad) can come back to you. So be more attentive, show more love, be more open to his/her suggestions and you'll notice that you're relationship would be in a better position.

2. Guilt. If you have a caring heart, you'll start to feel bad. Guilt messes with your mind, and shows in your attitude. This is why you should always think before you do or say something that you might later regret.

Giving your partner respect should be a top priority for you when it comes to your relationship. If you feel that you can't (or won't) respect your partner for any reason, then it may be best for you two to just separate. However, if you feel that you're relationship is worth staying in, then focus on what needs to be done better on your part. Once you start becoming a better person, your partner will love and appreciate you so much more.

This is very good. Another thing that showing little or no respect does to your partner is make them close off from you. If you never show respect for their dreams, goals, or ideas then they will stop sharing those things with you. Also if you do not respect their feelings they will stop sharing that with you as well.

Also if you disregard the things they tell you, they will resent it and lose trust in you. When they are hurting they will not go to you, because they can't trust that you will care. If they are excited they will not go to you because they can't trust that you will join in their happiness.

This is a fast track to an emotional affair, because eventually they will run into someone who does respect them, and they will start to focus on that person instead.
