what a woman expect from a man in a relationship?

I depends on each individual. Respect , honesty and trust are always important.

A woman should expect to be treated like a woman - special, taken care of, respected. You BOTH should be honest and trust each other. You should never, ever hit each other, nor should you get into yelling fights. In a real, decent relationship you will learn to "fight" with respect, not yelling and pushing. You should both be free enough to spend time on things that interest you, but should enjoy doing lots of things together.

But Courty is right - everyone has their own expectations. Mostly it's finding someone that makes you feel special, someone that you WANT to be with, NOT just because you can say you have a man!

I agree with BigRed54 especially about being with someone because it is right and you want to. So many relationships fail because they are forced!

I think honesty, trust, respect and love. And by "love" I mean that he wants your happiness and does things that he knows will make you happy. By respect I mean he listens to you and that your opinion counts in terms of what you do and how you do things together. By honesty and trust, you are open about everything and you believe each other.

These things should be evident every place: in discussions, in the things you do, in the way you spend money, in bed, in dealing with children---these aspects should be evident everywhere.

FInally, I need a man who I am attracted to!! (that is an extra, but it is important because a good sex life is important)

That's just my opinion. So far I've found men who had some of these things but not all. I'm still looking at age 39!! So ---I wish I would have taken this task more to heart sooner in life!
