Hello & welcome to this week's informative forum discussion. I was a bit MIA u-u but i'm back. And here's the promised follow up from Words left unsaid. Today, we'll be discussing the second most important aspect of a healthy relationship, respect.

Respect? But that's something we do anyway don't we?

Are you sure?


r e s p e c t | #2

Listening to your partner, actually listening & trying to understand their perspective is a big part of keeping a relationship healthy and well-maintaned. The quality of respect is usually well-highlighted when in a rough patch with a friend or partner. The way they treat you during that, or the way you treat them greatly reflects character.

In a healthy relationship, respect looks like:

talking openly & honestly with each other
valuing each other's feelings & needs
compromising
giving each other space & supporting each other's interests and hobbies
honoring each other's boundaries no matter what

self-respect
although it's really important to give your partner respect, it's crucial to have respect for yourself as well. notice the way you treat yourself and if it's not the way you'd treat a loved one, stop and change. re-evaulate.

here's some questions for you to answer <3

1. can you honestly say that you respect yourself? why or why not?
2. if you could change anything about the way you treat your partner (or a friend) what would it be?

1. Can you honestly say that you respect yourself? why or why not? No, I do not respect myself. I recently visited a neuropsychologist, and he told me that I should not drive a car, and should not talk on the telephone.
2. If you could change anything about the way you treat your partner (or a friend) what would it be? My partner just moved out of our house and bought a new house. My change is that we will see each other almost every day.

@Offmytrack argh i'm sorry to hear that, although, it's good that you're self-aware. this means you can work on the issue, i hope you get to see your partner soon <3

1. can you honestly say that you respect yourself? why or why not? I do mostly I wish I was more honest with myself as I am with others. Sometimes I really do not want to face the truth.
2. if you could change anything about the way you treat your partner (or a friend) what would it be? I think if I knew they were not going to leave me, I would speak up more. I hate putting my depression, and inner fights on them.
