What is a healthy relationship to you ? Ideally put it is when your partner and you have a good understanding, when you encourage each other, are supportive of each other and loving too, Can you have such a relationship ? yes of course why not, it isn’t that hard at all, you just need to find a person who you are compatible with, as everyone says. At times though it’s not only about compatibility, It's about understanding between the two individuals as well.
What is an unhealthy relationship ? Ideally it is when you are constantly hurt due to the lack of understanding between your partner and you. Also, when you are constantly fighting, feeling like you are being controlled. There are many things that make a relationship unhealthy, these can be physical or psychological, e.g. domestic violence, manipulating people.
Knowing what is healthy and what is an unhealthy relationship is very important. Here are a few pointers that you could look out for to find out.
Little to no Emotional pain
There should be very little emotional pain or none at all if you are in a healthy relationship because you would be each other's support system and not the reason behind those tears. If your partner is constantly trying to control you and caging you, causing you emotional distress, are you really in a healthy relationship? Do you really want to deal with that in the long run is the question to ask yourself.
Your Partner doesn't get insecure
If your partner and you have built your relationship with trust then there should be no room for insecurity and even if there are insecurities then you can talk about it. You will manage to ensure that your partner does not feel that way because you value them in your life. But if you are constantly feeling like your partner is possessive and over bearing then maybe you two do not have the trust and understanding. Especially if your partner gets jealous constantly and you have to constantly reassure them. Then there is something wrong as there is lack of trust.
There is no manipulation or control
IF there is control and manipulation in a relationship and you are constantly trying to be someone you are not then are you really with the right person. The right partner would never take advantage of you instead they would protect you by showing you the right way and helping you understand that you are wrong and why you are wrong.
Respect Each other
This is key in any relationship because if you do not respect one another then there will be a constant fight of superiority. This will also lead to your partner constantly making you feel bad about yourself knowingly or unknowingly. It is never right for someone to make you feel “shitty” because you deserve better. Also, this leads me to the point of. “ if you do not respect yourself, no one will respect you”. Therefore, you really need to understand whether your partner actually respects you as a person or not.
No violence
if there is any form of violence like constant shouting and physical fights then you are truly in an unhealthy relationship. Trust me you deserve so much better. A partner is meant to make you feel safe, not be the one to put you in harm's way whether physically or mentally, through constant stress. Not even when they are joking should they say anything that would harm you in any way, as a partner would care about their loved one unconditionally.
So are you really in a healthy relationship ?
