Stories of Disrespect

[jhonny9546]

You often talk about Italy like it's a country full of crazy people.
But do you really want to understand what men go through here, what happens daily?
I'd love to share situations where women show disrespect and how men respond, plus what should have been done.
This wouldn't just help us reflect; it would also prepare us to act better next time.

Anyone could contribute to this!


#1 Event
At work. The boss’s wife walks in without greeting anyone. She storms into his office.
Wife: “I’ve been waiting over 10 minutes! What are you doing?”
Boss: “I’m working?”
Wife: “Come on, let’s go, we’re late!”
Boss (muttering while following her): “Working? Work? lalala…”

Thoughts
We don’t know if he’ll confront her later, but she clearly disrespected him in front of his team.
He accepted it. What would you have done?
Personally, I would’ve gone with her, then understood if she was upset with me or just in a general angry mood.
If it’s just the delay and she acted like that? I’d end the relationship.
If she was in upset mood, I’d still make it clear: never act like that again. If she can’t control herself, the relationship can’t work.
A man should never accept that kind of behavior from a woman.

No. We've spent the past decade listening to EVERY demographic imaginable(men include)natter on at length about how sh-tty their lives are. Slowly but surely, we're regaining our appetite for inquiries such as:

"What do we do to rectify (insert gripe of choice)?"

In the case of the example you gave: A fella who finds himself in such straits is wise to simply kick that b-tch to the curb, then never look back. If current divorce laws are obstructing his attempts to do as much... Well, it sounds like we need to start agitating politically to amend those laws

Not easy to do, I admit, nonetheless the way forward is simple

This was more of a "chronicle of real-life events" post.
But I really appreciate your comment and share your perspective.
Even if for us men, it means starting over again... every time.

A hallmark of psychological maturity is making peace with the fact that much of life is:


A cycle of things bottoming out, starring over again after this transpires, riding high for awhile, before things bottom out once more, thus compelling us to start over yet again

I don't think this is any serious example of disrespect. When two people have been together for so long, this is common stuff.

clearly the problem is the boss. muttering..... the man clearly has no or not much self respect and she copies that. its likely worse for him in private. likely been like that for him for years. he is complaining while submitting.

Common because that is how you teach others how to treath you.

In this case, I think it's disrespect
