How do I know if I’m in a healthy relationship? Many women ask this question, and it is beneficial to take a step back to take a good look at the relationship you have with your partner.
While healthy relationships do not look the same for everyone, there are a few things that many of them have in common. These include:
Comfortable and Open Communication
Does your partner want you to share your thoughts and opinions with him? Do you feel heard, not judged, when you tell him what you think? Are you able to share your concerns and worries without being shut out or laughed at?
Trust and Loyalty
Do you completely trust your partner? Does he keep secrets from you or lie to you? Do you feel physically and emotionally safe around him? Does he respect your boundaries?
Teamwork
Do you feel like you are a part of a team, or are you constantly being put down? Does he take charge in every situation without listening to your desires first? How does he address conflict? Does he allow you to be your own person and encourage you?
