JAKARTA - Disrespect or disrespect can cause problems in relationships. Unrespected couples can feel insecure and lose their self-esteem. Or it could be that he feels even more angry at the treatment he receives and feels annoyed that he is not appreciated.

If your partner doesn't seem to appreciate you, here are two strategies that can help improve the situation, reported by Very Well Mind, Tuesday, February 27.

The first step is to focus on the way you and your partner communicate with each other, especially during conflict. Dr Amy Keller, PsyD and MFT, advises couples to actively listen to each other and express feelings more.

Dengan berani menyampaikan perasaan, pasangan jadi tahu apa yang Anda rasakan. Sehingga, diharapkan pasangan lebih memahami bagaimana melakukan Anda sesuai dengan yang Anda harapkan.

Explain what is your limit to your partner. Speak up if your partner crosses the limits you make. Misunderstandings about boundaries will often arise, but couples who have healthy relationships will overcome them.

Maybe your partner shows his appreciation through action, not words. You want to hear that he pays attention to you every morning, but the language of love or love language of the couple is in the form of touch or physical touch.

So, when he touched your shoulder and smiled at you without saying any confessions, it already showed a form of appreciation from him.

This is the most difficult process, but it's worth trying. If you can be calm and cold when dealing with couples who don't respect that limit, it will make you a stronger figure.

A toxic partner will not dare to fight you, instead he will feel defeated and silent with your calm nature. He can't turn you into a bad person. And most importantly, he will see that he doesn't mess with the boundaries you make.

Thinking about things like, "a couple that never does anything good for you," or 'a couple always expects me to do everything, it's just going to make you feel worse.

Staying away for a moment from negative thoughts will help you be a little more realistic in dealing with problems with your partner.
