2. AM I IN A HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP?
WHAT MAKES A HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP?
Hopefully, you and your significant other are treating each other well. Not sure if that's
the case? Take a step back from the dizzying sensation of being swept off your feet and
think about whether your relationship has these seven qualities:
Mutual respect. Does he or she get how cool you are and why? The key is that your BF
or GF likes you for who you are — for your great sense of humor, your love of reality TV,
etc. Does your partner listen when you say you're not comfortable doing something and
then back off right away? Respect in a relationship means that each person values who
the other is and understands — and would never challenge — the other person's
boundaries.
Trust. You're talking with a guy and your boyfriend walks by. Does he completely lose his
cool or keep walking because he knows you'd never cheat on him? It's OK to get a little
jealous sometimes — jealousy is a natural emotion. But how a person reacts when feeling
jealous is what matters. There's no way you can have a healthy relationship if you don’t
trust each other.
Honesty. This one goes hand-in-hand with trust because it's tough to trust someone
when one of you isn't being honest. Have you ever caught your girlfriend in a major lie?
Like she told you that she had to work on Friday night but it turned out she was at the
movies with her friends? The next time she says she has to work, you'll have a lot more
trouble believing her and the trust will be on shaky ground.
Fairness/equality. You need to have give-and-take in your relationship, too. Do you
take turns choosing which new movie to see? As a couple, do you hang out with your
partner's friends as often as you hang out with yours? It's not like you have to keep a
running count and make sure things are exactly even, of course. But you'll know if it isn't
a pretty fair balance. Things get bad really fast when a relationship turns into a power
struggle, with one person fighting to get his or her way all the time.
Good communication. You've probably heard lots of stuff about how men and women
don't seem to speak the same language. We all know how many different meanings the
little phrase "no, nothing's wrong" can have, depending on who's saying it! But what's
important is to ask if you're not sure what he or she means, and speak honestly and
openly so that the miscommunication is avoided in the first place. Never keep a feeling
bottled up because you're afraid it's not what your BF or GF wants to hear or because you
worry about sounding silly. And if you need some time to think something through before
you're ready to talk about it, the right person will give you some space to do that if you ask
for it.
