When we give advices on how to treat men we love, and I am not talking about manipulation, we come from a point of wanting to make you guys happy. At least this is true for women I know. We do this not because we are selfless, or unbelievably noble but because we want this for ourselves too! It is called the strategies of love. We do to others what we like to be done to us.
So I come from a "bread" that never nags, screams, makes demands and asks for ransom or has these bad PMS hysteria fits. I treat with respect and ask to be treated with respect. To sum it up I never do to to others what I don't want to be done to me. I never take my men for granted! And do not allow to be taken for granted.
There is a good Hungarian saying - Even the most beautiful women is boring to someone. Well we tend to forget what attracted us to somebody, what we adored and were crazy about. After some time goes by we can only start to see little annoying habits or hear a tone we dislike.... but I nurture the feelings from the beginning of the relationship and try very hard not to forget what rocked my world in that person.
I got carried away but just to clear where I am coming from in trying to understand what you are saying.
