Speak Up. In a healthy relationship, if something is bothering you, it’s best to talk about it instead of holding it in.

Respect Each Other. Your partner’s wishes and feelings have value, and so do yours. Let your significant other know you are making an effort to keep their ideas in mind. Mutual respect is essential in maintaining healthy relationships.

Compromise. Disagreements are a natural part of healthy relationships, but it’s important that you find a way to compromise if you disagree on something. Try to solve conflicts in a fair and rational way.

Be Supportive. Offer reassurance and encouragement to each other. Also, let your partner know when you need their support. Healthy relationships are about building each other up, not putting each other down.

Respect Each Other’s Privacy. Just because you’re in a relationship doesn’t mean you have to share everything and constantly be together. Healthy relationships require space.



Go out with your friends without your partner.

Participate in activities and hobbies you like.

Not have to share passwords to your email, social media accounts or phone.

Respect each other’s individual likes and needs.

"Not have to share passwords to your email, social media accounts or phone."

This is the only bit I'm on the fence about. Everything else agree 100%

But if I ask to look at your phone or sm or whatevs Imma expect you to say yes. My dude doesn't have a password or lock on any of his stuff and leaves it laying around.

KNOWING I could go through it kinda kills the urge to actually do so.

Transparency is a beautiful thing.

Yeah, I agree with all of it, but I also agree with being an individual and trusting your partner, and doing things together as well.

I don't need someones passwords to be nosy, they can go out with friends, because I have friends too that I want to hang with.

I will speak up and expect to be heard if I feel disrespected. I will also compromise to come to a conclusion and have it settled. Once it's been settled, I don't bring it up again- ever.

Participating in hobbies or activities I like are the ones usually done with my partner, because they are my best friend and who I prefer to do these types of things with.

• "Speak Up" - I agree with what you said to a certain extent. Yes open and honest communication is essential to fostering any type of healthy relationship; however, they act of the way people go about communicating can create issues in and of itself. Always remember... An inconvenient truth is still just that, inconvenient, and being honest doesn't necessarily mean being correct either.

• "Respect Each Other" - Nobody should have to consciously remember not to be a shity person to another soul. It's part of being a decent human being. If anyone is with somebody that is like "Oh! My bad! I forgot that you mattered there for a second." They have bigger issues at hand me thinks, lol.

• "Compromise" - I can agree with your statement so long as we can both agree that there is a HUGE difference between 'Compromising' and 'Settling'. More often than not the vast majority of people do not understand the difference between the two, and if a situation arises where they're seeking compromise and instead they're both just settling instead of fixing the issue is going to create a larger one. It is important to understand the difference in the two.

• "Be Supportive" - Sometimes, sure, but having somebody that challenges you, push you, and that can tell you whenever you're fucking up is just as important as being supportive. You can't just support somebody all the time. People do a lot of batshit crazy things. Having someone to tell us when we're being batshit-crazy is equally as important, haha.

• "Respect Each Other's Privacy" - I find it telling that another statement about respect is being mentioned. I've already said what I had to say about being respectful.

Perhaps, maybe, I should also point out the fact that respect is both internal and external which have a mutually inclusive relationship (one cannot exist without the other at any given time).

Compromise is a huge one. But at the same time you don't want to lose yourself and what's important to you by compromising cause that leads to resentment, resentment leads to worse emotions.

How you both deal with disagreements and compromise is huge, like make or break huge.

We are dealing with this rn looking at properties together. He is down for an hour plus commute cause he does it now and doesn't mind it especially if we get a nicer place, more sf etc. I'm pretty adamant about staying within 30mins to my office cause I am already commuting to job sites and need that peace of mind by being local.

Compromise was him being open to a major fixer in my target area which will give him the space he needs and the location I want.

My compromise was I will consider a commute of more than 30mins if it gives me something spectacular like lake views or some such.

Eh! Long time no chat! Yeah that's my fault for deleting my account and taking off for 2 years, but that's neither here nor there, lol. Last time I talked to you you were excited that you had just gotten to design for a track housing development. It's cool to see that two years later you're still going strong with things like that and finding ways to make your life situation work around your passion. Good job turbo!

This is mostly how my marriage continue to work. Respect is such a big thing for us. We respect each other's strengths and weaknesses. We respect each other's privacy that we didn't have to check each other's emails and phones. He's not on social media. I also don't use mine as often as I did before. We are allowed to go out with friends without each other but by choice, we prefer to spend time together as a family than spend time with other people. We speak up when something is bothering us. If we ever disagree, we talk about it like adults and we don't get into a screaming, name calling match.

I think the only thing I would add to your list is working as a team. Marriage is teamwork. Raising kids is teamwork. The moment that one feels he or she is carrying more weight than the other is when doubts start to creep in. You don't just support each other, you also work hard enough to make sure that both of you have time to rest, is happy, satisfied and feeling loved. No one gets left behind. Sometimes, the woman supports the man and she feels left out. Or vice versa which shouldn't happen in a relationship because its a team. His success is your success. And your success is his success.

Haha yeah keep on keeping on.

That track development was killer. Especially cause I got call backs from some of the new owners wanting to customize their new space.

It’s different to shop for yourself tho. Exciting but terrifying 😅
