I actually do have a serious question, or rather, a set of related ones.
When you're in a relationship, at what point do you lose your respect for the guy you're with? What are some of the subtle, everyday things a man can do to wear you down and make you less excited to see him? I don't mean obvious breaches of rules (like infidelity or violence towards you), I'm talking about the daily things that add up to make you go "blah" and curb your enthusiasm over time. I've observed this hero-to-zero phenomenon several times in my life now; where the guy starts out untouchable but ultimately winds up being less of a man in her eyes, with no clearly discernible reason. I think it'd be interesting to talk about it.
first of all - it is an AWESOME question, way to go on asking something that interesting!
i don't think it's a set point, but rather a collection of small things that makes you think the guy is not who you thought he was. (as you, not going to talk about breaches of rules).
anyways, i'll mention a few ^:
before i start - all those, imho, apply BOTH ways. i think that girls should treat their guys better as well :/ and can be SUCH asses sometimes.
also, not ALL those apply in ALL cases. every person is different, and those are just some thoughts on the matter. don't expect them to apply in all cases.
* not taking her side in things around other people, EXPECIALLY if she seems to be NOT on the winning side, especially if it is with people that usually put her down - like family in some cases, friends in others.
* constantly showing her, sometimes subtly, (and usually withought intention :/ ) that she's incapable of doing certain things. basically - again, you are supposed to believe in her and back her up.
* letting her understand that once you got her - she's no longer interesting, and that you won't do anything to keep her interest. - do something out of ordinary every so long, (be it just flowers delivered to her workplace, or a date somewhere special).
and about money - i'll mention this. unless your girls is... please forgive my french, a demanding divalike person, she won't expect you to shell out large amounts of cash. you can go a long way with a little, just keep it creative and interesting.
* being too easy. she should never feel that you are just a toy, or that you will be there no matter what. you should LOVE her no matter what, but there is a difference. you should always respect yourself just as you respect her. if a man is so easy that she can do whatever and he'll still stay with her - the guy is not that interesting anymore.
* sometimes - even not exercising. i can't stress this one enough. it shows you care about your health, and about your body. and well - every girl likes her guy (or geek in my case) to be prrrrrrty

lol it seems obvious, but you've no idea how much this can do for ya

* not being spontaneous. try stuff. for example - get her in the car on a holiday, and just drive SOMEWHERE, stop in every interesting place you see, and take your day at your pace.
and by GOD help her clean the house.
SHE'S NOT A MAID, DAMMIT XD
lol
ok - that's enough for now, i guess :/
