    Healthy relationship

    What can we consider a healthy relationship?

    Nowadays I personally feel that relationships are becoming worse. Talking to my friends I
    realized how much they accept toxicity in their relationship with their partners and assimilate
    their behavior is quite normal. Over the years, jealousy has been considered as a romantic
    act and not as a toxic and harmful reaction. That’s because we have been witnessing it since
    we were young, not only in films and TV but also do we see it in our own immediate
    surroundings such as our family or friends.

    When we grow we must be aware this behavior is not healthy and learn to identify what love
    actually means. We mustn’t allow others to treat us in a way we don’t deserve. For that,
    there are some values that we must require if we want to have a healthy relationship. It is
    obvious there will always be problems in a relationship because it is a thing between two or
    more people, and they won't always agree on every topic. But I think these moments of
    difficulties are important to strengthen the relationship between them by showing respect
    and having open communication between partners as it is an issue that affects both.

    The most important aspects to consider in a relationship for me are trust and honesty. I
    personally feel not only when these values are taken into account will a beautiful relationship
    work and grow. Each partner should take time to understand what the other might be feeling
    and not fall into miscommunication and jealousy. Not only do I consider trust, the feeling of
    being sure they won’t cheat on you, but it is more like feeling safe and comfortable without
    lies and secrets. For instance, in non monogamous relationships emotional updates and
    frequent communication are very important to trust in each other.

    In addition, I think that a healthy relationship also involves being thoughtful and
    empathizing with your partner, since each person in the world is so different and everyone
    has his own way of looking at life. I mean you can not expect that the other person acted as
    you would act or to know what you want or think without communication.
    You have to be patient and accept the other person just as she or he is because a trait of a
    toxic relationship is that you try to change your partner by making them feel that their actions
    are wrong for the simple fact that you would not act in the same way.
    It's just a matter of respect.

    Furthermore, I believe that mutual support is indispensable for a healthy relationship. It


    includes encouraging your partner in her bad times and letting her know that you trust her.
    It is very important that your partner feels that he/she can count on you and that you are like
    two friends in this context. I mean, if neither of you feel emotionally supported by your
    partner when you need it and he/she doesn't help you when it is needed, it would be like
    feeling your partner as a distant person and even as a stranger over time.

    On the other side of the coin, in my view one of the most important things in a relationship is
    respecting each other's personal time. These days, so many people who have girlfriends
    or boyfriends forget to take time to do hobbies, to meet friends, to spend time with their
    family…
    It happens when both put their own interests aside and only focus on their partner.
    It’s a huge mistake because you are forgetting about yourself and you are the person who
    you need to take care of the most. If you love yourself and feel good about yourself, it will be
    reflected in all your other relationships because you will love other people in a healthy way.
    Besides, you can not abandon people who have always been with you. Family and friends
    will always be there to help you but girlfriends and boyfriends can leave you at any time.
