How to Address Sexist Traditions in Dating Without Conflict
The Situation
"She says my traditions are sexist whenever she doesn't like them"
The Brutal Truth
When she calls your traditions sexist, it means she’s not willing to compromise or entertain ideas that don’t align with her views. This indicates a lack of respect for differing perspectives and an unwillingness to engage in healthy conversations about personal values.
❌ What NOT to Do (Anxious Response)
An anxious person might try to change their traditions to appease her, fearing rejection. This is wrong because you should never compromise your values for someone else's comfort; it diminishes your self-worth and creates a pattern of people-pleasing.
