How do you prepare for rejection?

Any tips on how I can get ahead of the toxic influence my husband's new coworkers are having on him? We've always split household and parenting tasks, but I am the breadwinner. So, you can say traditional gender roles aren't a thing in our home. My husband started a new job a few weeks ago, and I guess the guys he works with have been giving him a hard time about how things are done in our home and doing their best to make him feel less like a man. So, we've been fighting over how we split the
Would you dump someone for this situation? I was very hungry in the morning and we had drank the evening before. He didn’t want to eat and suggested we take a shower. I fainted in his arms. He gets me to the couch, wrapped in a towel and offers me water. I feel ok and as he’s getting ready to leave ask about our plans for the week. Still sopping wet in a towel he leaves me and never reaches out to ask me how I was. I finished my shower and luckily didn’t faint.
You don’t, confidence is key. Like a boxer, you get back up and into the ring. You’re the best there is, expect to succeed
Expect nothing
Every relationship ends in rejection unless it's the one. It's no big deal
Are you saying rejection from a dating pool? Or Rejection while in a relationship already?
Gotcha. Well, if you’re already interested I’d say that you only need to be careful and go slow. Don’t let feelings be bigger than they need to be at this stage. Not sure if you have this person as a friend, if you never approached at all or what but in general, I’d say be direct. Not creepy lol but honest. “Hey, I’ve been noticing you for some time and I’d love to know you better” and see what comes back. If the person says, no thank you, than that’s great! You know you cannot invest in your current interest and move on. Don’t take personally, it’s not about you. See as literally a trial and error process.
You work on yourself till you become the 10/10 that has never ending options. Makes rejection a little easier.
You’ll still get rejected. But the difference is you won’t care as much when you have options.
