The basis of a healthy love relationship is mutual respect. People who respect each other will be proud of each other. They accept and like each other for who they are. They listen to each other and attach importance to each other's ideas and opinions.
Ask yourself if you and your lover respect each other.
Do you often listen to each other's thoughts and feelings?
Do you regard each other as friends?
Are you proud of each other?
If your answers to the above questions are yes, then there is respect in your love relationship, which is good for you and your love.
Without respect, relationships can hurt. Many people think that a slap or a punch can hurt people, but insults and rude words can also hurt people. This hurts our self-esteem, which is how we feel about ourselves.
Your lover:
Make you feel ugly, stupid or insecure?
Say you can't do anything without him/her?
Say you are crazy or stupid?
Ignore or make fun of your feelings and thoughts?
Make fun of your family, friends, job, income, neighbors or beliefs?
If your answer to one or more of the above questions is yes, then your partner just doesn't respect you.
Honesty and trust
Honesty and trust are very important in all interpersonal relationships. People build trust by talking, listening, keeping promises, respecting each other's feelings and having fun together. When we trust someone, we know that person is trustworthy. When you share your thoughts and feelings with people you trust, you will feel safe and reliable-this will bring you closer. In a healthy relationship, both sides will tell the truth, even if some truths are hard to say.
Relationships that lack trust can cause problems. This can cause anxiety and jealousy. Jealousy is a normal feeling-everyone is jealous sometimes. However, although emotions are difficult to control, behaviors are optional. Some people become control freaks because of jealousy. Control freak's behavior will destroy the mutual trust between people. When we trust our lover, we will be full of confidence in this relationship and will not feel jealous, even if we are jealous, we will not have excessive behavior.
Ask yourself if you and your lover are honest and trust each other.
Aren't you two worried about telling the truth?
No matter who made a mistake, do you have the courage to admit it?
Do you understand and accept each other's needs for friendship and affection?
Are you all sure of each other's love for you?
Do you trust each other's decision?
If you answer these questions in the affirmative, then there is honesty and trust in your relationship, which is good for you and your relationship.
