Are There Limits to Being a Diva in a Relationship??

Dating and relationships can be so tricky at times and sometimes the rules and regulations of it all can be a bit blurred.  While being in a relationship, it's very important to hold on to who you are and remain true to yourself.  But are there limits or boundaries that you should be aware of?

One thing I’ve noticed that has been for what I can see as a positive change, is it is now becoming more acceptable for women to embrace that inner diva!  C’mon ladies, you know you’re lovin it, because I sure am!  No apologies, it is what it is… “I’m a Diva!”  It’s almost as if a guy’s lady isn’t a diva, there’s something wrong with the situation?!

I don’t know if you’ve ever overheard guys discussing their lady, but once they describe them as “High Maintenance” or a “Diva”, there’s a sense of pride that follows their description of the woman they’re with.  I think what the subtle explanation is to all of this, is it’s basically saying, “Yah my girl’s got some self worth…and she’s not bashful about it in any way.”

I love it!  I love that this whole perception of “false humility” is being done away with and that true self worth is something that’s now to be celebrated, but it leads me to ask a simple question… “Are there limits to being a diva in a relationship?”  The answer is yes, but don’t be discouraged, it’s not as disappointing as you may think.

Here’s the thing, if you’re with a guy who can appreciate the fact that you are a diva, it’s probable that he’s a guy who isn’t a dummy and is quite the catch himself.  Otherwise, why would you be with him?  Here’s the thing, if he’s willing to respect the fact that you’re a woman with high expectations, then it makes sense that it’s only right that you can respect his GQ sensation that he’s got going on for himself.

Meaning, respect goes two ways, so if he’s respecting those “specialties” about you, then do the same for him and let that work both ways.  Don’t be an idiot and get to a place where he’s throwing rose petals at your feet, while you’ve got this superior attitude like, “That’s it…no violinist in the background?”  Seriously, don’t screw up a good thing by thinking that the world owes you something and you’re just here to collect.

First off, being a diva and the luxuries that come with it, should be for one, something you’re willing to give yourself.  Second, if you find the guy who see’s what your true worth is and appreciates it, make sure that it’s working both ways and the scales aren’t towering in your direction alone!  Just because you’re a diva, doesn’t mean you have to be a spoiled dumb ass!
