As a person, you will have relationships with a lot of people including your parents, friends and classmates. These relationships are not necessarily intimate relationships.
A healthy relationship is based on respect and trust for one another.
It’s when:
- You have fun together.
- You both feel like you can be yourself.
- You are not forced to do anything against your will for the sake of pleasing your partner or just to conform to what your partner wants.
- You both can have different opinions and interests.
- You listen to each other.
- None of you is forced into sex just as a way of proving love or paying back for gifts.
- You trust each other.
- You can compromise, say sorry and take arguments out.
- You don’t have to spend all your free time together- you can spend some time on your own or with your own friends and family.
- You both are accepted for what you are.
- Your both respect each others feelings, physical and emotional boundaries.
