Signs that a man has sat on your neck: what a woman should do

Relationships between a man and a woman are complex and require constant effort from both sides.

Sometimes situations arise when a man becomes a parasite or exhibits behavior that makes a woman feel like a cornered horse.

Signs that a man has sat on your neck

Lack of initiative

The man has stopped initiating dates, communication and other activities, a sign of the expectation that the woman will be responsible for the relationship.

Lack of attention and care

When a man stops showing care and attention, it indicates a loss of interest in the relationship.

Avoiding discussion of the future

A man avoids talking about the future of the relationship or even plans for the near future, this indicates uncertainty and unwillingness to share intentions.

Four frequently used phrases

1. "This is not a man's business"

The phrase is used by a man to justify passivity in a relationship. He tries to shift responsibility for many aspects of the relationship.

2. "Is it difficult for you or something?"

The phrase is used to minimize feelings and needs. The man makes the woman feel guilty for expecting more from the relationship.

3. "I have problems now"

The phrase is used as an excuse for inattention or lack of investment in the relationship. The man convinces that he is unable to pay attention to the relationship due to external circumstances.

4. “I didn’t know this was needed now.”

The phrase is used to avoid responsibility for not being actively involved in the relationship. The man pretends that he didn't know about your expectations.

Why does a woman feel like a cornered horse?

This attitude leaves the woman feeling trapped because she finds herself in the role of the one who bears the main responsibility for the relationship. It creates an imbalance and inequality, which in turn causes stress, discontent, and a feeling of trying to please a man without receiving reciprocity.
