French term or phrase: compter avec x compter sur
creio que "compter sur quelq'un" seja o equivalente a "contar com alguém", mas "compter avec" realmente me deixou em dúvida. segue o trecho:
Ils [les hommes] ne sont pas faits pour les grandes amoureuses, mais pour les réalistes qui savent qu'il leur faudra toujours compter avec ces hommes et jamais sur eux.
