1) Start off with a list of things you will not tolerate. Don't share them with every new relationship, but having an explicit set of morals makes you more confident and self assured. Also if you spend time considering the places you don't want to be, you are more apt to recognize those places before you get there.
2) A couple of days in is really early to expect devotion. Somebody else said before, this could have been plans made prior to your relationship. You don't have to judge him instantly for it. Consider the old adage, 'fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.' If he starts to form a trend of putting his friends before his girl, you either have to say something quickly, or expect him to think you don't mind. If he is unwilling to change, then you have to remember the most important thing:
3) You can't go through life expecting Mr. Right to fall into your lap. The reason a lot of people marry their high school or college love is because they are young, still forming their opinions and morals, they adapt to love that person. The older you get, the more solid your personality becomes and the harder it is to find somebody who closely fits that personality. Therefore, by 25+ you're going to dump a lot more people before you find that perfect guy.
4) Also, the quality of manners and respect guys are expected to give their relationships is in sharp decline. Guys aren't as easy to find now because the status quo of what is 'popular' for men to offer is beneath the what the average woman is willing to accept. 15 minutes of youtube watching proves my point. Quality women respect themselves to be willing to face many bad relationships rather than trying to make each relationship with every loser work.
