8 Habits of Healthy Relationships

[@barakucerova987]

For anyone out there who's confused and unsure how a strong, healthy relationship looks like, I'd add to this video one thing: true love comes in the small, everyday things. When I was tired one day but failed to fall asleep, my dearest brought me warm milk with honey out of the blue to help me fall asleep. That's better than thousand gifts and thousand roses followed by silence.

[@ralphisxamida8533]

Absolutely. I would like to add: Little compromises. Like I love long spaghetti and my husband doesn't. But from time to time he says: "We hadn't the long spaghetti for a while. Come we use them this time."

[@jmiod2819]

Aww that was rlly sweet of them, and youre right it really is about those littls things every day

[@benladeb]

Shit my gf dislike milk... We will never be happy ;-;

[@mogy6492]

Aww, my bf has a supperrr long day and was exhausted but still took the time to ask how my day was and comfort me since I had had a bad day before sleeping, it might be simple, but it meant a lot to me. And the other day i brought him his favorite snacks when he was at work. It really is the small things

[@mogy6492]

@@ralphisxamida8533 thats adoraaaabllleee! My bf is picky and if i wanted something he doesnt like i'd just end up making it for myself and he'd make himself a sandwich or something 😂

It’s crazy how different being in a healthy relationship does to you. I was in a toxic one before and I really thought that being yelled at, humiliated, lied to bc i ‘deserve’ it, and all of the bad things were normal, and that it was my fault for making things worse by asking questions or getting my feelings involved. Bro now I’m in such a healthy relationship that we don’t argue because we TALK. Arguing and talking are two completely different things, did yall know that!?? Lmao it’s just so crazy how my partner actually wants to know how I feel and what my love language is so she can treat me better. I am so attracted to my partner physically, emotionally, spiritually, mentally..geez all of the above. She’s even got me here wanting to fix my family problems too! Don’t settle for less yall, because there IS someone better.

Maybe... JUST maybe... an argument can still be an argument, BUT the methods of PROposing an argument are different from IMposing that same argument...You can still argue the least popular Point of View in the room, BUT while proposing well, you do NOT have to impose your personal POV nor engage in a shouting match... A genuinely "good" partner can draw that from you. ;o)

[@danielladesio5110]

what i've learned being in my healthy relationship: - give each other room to grow/change/mature. always love the person for who they are, not who you want them to be - walk away from arguments so no one says anything hurtful in the moment, and come back when both partners are calmer - jealousy and suffocation often go hand in hand. let them be. if they really love you, they'll never hurt you. - remind them how loved they are every chance you get - tell them you're proud of them. they might not be hearing it from other people - choose them every single day, especially during difficult times - let them pick the restaurant every once in awhile ;)

Communication is absolutely key. Communicate how you're feeling, what you think about things, when you're happy, when you're sad. I've found 9/10 arguments or misunderstandings are solved by just talking to one another like equals. Sounds basic & obvious, but you'd be surprised how little some people do it.

[@eaaeeeea]

Communication's ability to heal a relationship comes crashing down when 1) you withold your feelings, concerns and wishes because the other person "should know this already" 2) you withold your feelings, concerns and wishes because the other person "never listens" and 3) you withold your feelings, concerns and wishes. Nobody is a mind reader.

[@TynishaWilbourn]

Also it's important to be transparent, receptive, proactive to solve the issues, also not to be dismissive of your partners feelings. Must be that comfort place to be open with each other and understanding and respecting differences, perspectives though validate each other's concerns. Do not be in competition with each other but a strong team, best friends, lovers and partners.

Yes! There’s intangible constructs too in a relationship. It can dwindle, then what do you do to make your relationship stronger? Get married. Happens again? Have kids. Kids moved out? Now those responsibilities are gone, and there’s more time for the relationship. Has there been a spark the whole time? Have you made your partner feel chases the entire time?

I have been in a long distance relationship for more than 2 years now, it can be incredibly difficult at times but every summer we make an effort to see each other in person. We have every one of these habits but I still feel like theres a distance when we’re apart. Advice I have for anybody who is going into or is already in a long distance relationship is that after the initial lovey dovey phase and somewhere between the 8-12 month mark take a trip to see them. This can really solidify the relationship between you two and can give you insight if you’ll be with them in the future. If you still love them with all your heart and you have to leave that feeling might be fade away or it may feel like the love gone. I want you to remember back to when you were with them in person and remember how you felt. This always helps me get through a day where I have a lot of anxiety, I know when I’m next to my lover I’m going to feel that same love in the future. It may sound weird but this really helps, at least for me anyway. Feel free to share your experiences with online relationships or if you need advice I can try my best to help!

@bree A man wouldn't get treated like that he would make her learn her place. She is clearly a narcissist women and he was her best victim. She would not be able to treat a normal guy with such an attitude. Any normal guy would have left the relationship earlier , so this guy has severe insecurity issues and lack testosterone I guess, there is no ounce of masculinity in him maybe thats why she treated him this way majority of woman hate such men and have a tendency to shame them or punish them. Men are attracted to feminity and woman are attracted to masculinity. This guy lacks masculinity maybe due to lack of strong male role models and that resulted in low confidence and low self esteem. Men need masculine energy, without it men are lost, they become unpredictable, insecure or dangerous. Look at all the rapists and psychos out there almost all of them lack male role models and have narcissist single mothers. Men with good male role models have good self esteem and do good things in society and have more confidence He may have copied some females in his childhood, that is ok for a woman but it is not healthy for a man. Best thing he could do is having more company with men, go to gym and have fight (i mean boxing training). If you are a woman you wouldn't understand its postive effect on men, but for men its a great relief.

My Personal Experience in a Relationship: -Always be there for them -Write them letters or Express your feelings to them everyday -Tell them you love them everyday -Give them hugs when they need it or just give them all the time -Find enough quality time for each other -Don't focus on something else such as your phone or others while your with them (For me, It's a good way so you can have a good time rather than being distracted) -Treat them well and Smile everyday at them that your happy to see them -Hear their thoughts out and don't pressure or get mad at them unless you have a reason to -Say you won't ever leave them -Share a kiss every now and then -If they have mental breakdowns always comfort them, If they refuse or won't let you, Don't overreact and force yourself because they also need some alone time -Tell them what's wrong so they can help you or can talk it out -Don't text dry or talk less to them in person or online because they think your uninterested to them or they think you don't love them Hope some of these can make your relationship healthier and stronger with your partner. :) Edit: - Also love your partner for who they are and never change them and also be yourself to them. Be someone that's you that they will love and don't try to be cool because it makes them less interested and don't show off on anything you have and always be supportive towards them.

I can tell I'm in the right guy already. He is so expressive and straightforward. Like one time, he approached me and told me he's not comfortable (and jealous) with the guy I'm talking too; I don't hate it, I love it when he's being honest, and that I can adjust and knows my boundaries. Healthy relationship is through having open minded and very understanding to each other.

[@rzuue]

For me the “showing affection” part is what really made the difference in the relationship I had with my boyfriend before we got together and other friends - and still sets it apart. I can become friends with people quickly and be open, but being affectionate or touching others has always been difficult for me. I’m not a very touchy person - except with my boyfriend. I’m also the most open about insecurities and showing my weaknesses, being vulnerable. And we both agree that talking is key in a relationship. He sometimes wants to hold back from telling me things because he doesn’t want to make me sad, but when I ask him to tell me, because I believe that I need to know if I did something wrong or if he doesn’t feel that good about something, he does. Yes, one time it really hurt me, but if he wouldn’t have told me, I might have hurt him again unknowingly. I’m also better at handling my anger. When I feel upset about something, I think about again and ask myself “If I do as I’m feeling and am all cranky - would that be worth the fight we might have? Would that help? Or don’t I just rather want to hug him and maybe calmly tell him what I didn’t like?” Usually it makes me calm down. Acting out of anger usually doesn’t help.

What do I do when all I can think about is them. I have my own friends, do my own shit, but I’d always think about them. We are far apart and whenever they take too long to respond, I always overthink and get so emotional. I know there are boundaries yet still I am a very emotional person.

[@moujayay]

@@user-kx6fw8ub9g I think it is not always bad to feel alone being without the other. Boundaries can be something really simple as your own bank account, going for walks or groceries without the other. having your own space in a room the other don't clean up without asking. Or simply being able to read a book without getting interrupted. Not all boundaries need to be physical or hard drawn. I live with my bf for 6/7 years now and we shared his room at his parent's before that for way too long ( 14 years relationship). Some boundaries aren't possible space wise and others aren't wanted depending on the persons. Just talk with your partner what boundaries you expect and what they expect. You should find a middleground for you individually.

[@andrewdijoseph9296]

I’m sorry Bengie, you will be okay my man. Let the past be the past, and form new habits that better your life, take it as a lesson :)

[@bumblebeehappy]

A huge thing is respecting and communicating boundaries as well, and coming together to a middle ground. If one person has boundaries that the other ignores, and said party has to just deal with it, it leads to a lot of arguments and pent up anger. Sometimes people can't accept that if someone doesn't want to respect your boundaries, no matter how much you love them, it's best to let them go and find someone who will.

I will forever be indebted to the great Dr Olu for fixing my broken relationship after my husband left me for his mistress for 6 months.I never believed in spells until my friend introduced me to him。At first ， I was skeptical about him because I heard a lots about false spell casters but l put my doubts behind me for i was desperate to get my husband back and I did according to what he instructed me to do。Now my husband is back just within 22 hours of contacting him。

after so many toxic relationships, i finally understood what an actual healthy relationship is supposed to be like thanks to my current 🥰 i realised the things i used to worry and stress about when i was with my exes, no longer haunt me anymore. and i cant explain that feeling of relief and weight that has been lifted off my shoulders all bc of him. as much as its not his responsibility, he taught me to love myself again and i have no words to show how grateful and lucky i am to have him be part of my life.

Me and my partner have been together since we were 15 and now we’re both almost 21. I think when we were younger we both made mistakes but I’m glad we’ve persevered and I feel like we are only getting stronger. I always get asked ‘how have you maintained a strong relationship, especially at a young age?’ And I always say, trust, honesty, communication, support for one another and affection are definitely some of the most important factors.

This explains why my last relationship was so bad. I was not comfortable with the idea of talking about my feelings because I was doing all the things at home, I had no personal space, she required all the attention in the world, everything about my life before I knew her was a problem... I didn't know what anxiety was until I was with her. It was so frustrating and self-consuming. It was like denying a part of me and denying most of my life because of her traumas. And I'm not putting all the shame on her, because she was working hard on fixing everything was wrong in her life. It was a situation to complicated we can't handle it in the proper way.

Listen, I came here to do research for a story I’m doing…but I took a step back after hearing the last one….I have done all of the other things so effortlessly…but that straight up made me cry. I remember when I was a young girl first going into the dating world because of peer pressure. It felt like I was pushed into a world I didn’t know…I wish I knew these things before…I always thought relationships were about the pure love and joy, but the truth is…it isn’t that. At the end of the day it is two or more individuals with thoughts…feelings…dreams and desires coming together and trying to build a world of their own *together.* Not by relying on the other to put all the hard work… I wish I knew the last one….but sometimes when you love someone so much, you fear of loosing them..and if you cling onto them…*That fear will soon become nothing but the truth…and you have to accept when it happens..* Because that is just life. ❤

[@angeleecrespo7801]

My partner and I have been together for quite some time now and one thing we’ve learned that best helps our relationship to flourish is by having no distractions before bed (phones, tv, books to read etc.) and really just lye together in bed and have a conversation. Trust me 10 min of each other’s time fulfills so much more than you’d think emotionally. Especially if other things take up most of your time without each other.

[@Mon-kv8tv]

Met my partner at 16, we’ve been together 7 years now and plan to marry in the next few. It all depends on maturity imo. I’d say 90% of teenage relationships don’t last, and thats okay. Its important to have experienced the world while you’re young, if this person has the same goals as you, you both can grow and experience the world together. Its not always easy but its worth it for your person. Don’t bother with other peoples opinions. No one, other the the couple, knows the seriousness or extent of the relationship. My only advice, don’t rush it. You have a lifetime to get married, have children, etc. Enjoy the time spent growing, maturing, and figuring out life together. People change a lot from 16-25, so its important to have a strong foundation and understanding of yourself, your partner and each other, before jumping into things. ❤️

[@lillymillard5279]

I met my partner at 16 years old. He was 17. ALOT of people have doubted us. Especially my family.

It’s been 4 years this coming may and I still love him with all of my heart. Try to stay open minded and not be naive, but also enjoy the journey and don’t let others opinions and advice run YOUR relationship.

[@blqerror7884]

Communication is very important and I learned that with my current relationship. I used to be emotionally immature but now I have improved although I’m still working on it. This is talking from a girl’s perspective and in my experience: guys are simple minded and can sometimes be a bit dense (ofc everyone is different). so when I act immature like being dry and give him a silent treatment whenever he ignores me for hours, I learned that it doesn’t benefit anybody because I would still feel shit and he wouldn’t pick that up most of the time. As we progressed into this relationship we both discussed about how we would communicate better. I tell him what bothers me and be straight forward in the most gentle way as possible because I don’t want to sound like a dramatic gf… and that works very well in my relationship. I became better with my emotional maturity as I progressed into this relationship and overall makes me slowly become a better person. What I’m trying to say is that If ur partner makes you become a better person, it shows ur in a healthy relationship :)

You're not cursed, one day you will find someone who treats you with the respect you deserve better than any scripted movie. As a serial dater after any relationship ended I took a year to myself to improve my wellbeing and mindset and just when I wasn't looking I fell for this amazing man that I can't live without.

It's been a great ride and I've largely been there for her. The difficulty for me is working with insecurities from my childhood either from trauma (and working through that on top of everything) or mental configuration solidified by social construct and interactions, as well as rewiring myself into how to work to make things healthy. I sometimes get "off" and feel the connection is a little shaky, moments of being unsure of what is real and how to come back to what I feel for her. Everything is genuine and passionate and there is a lot of work, but I make sure I tell her how much I appreciate her and live her and am proud. It's long distance too, so there's the extra obstacle that takes surmounting. But my difficulties lie in going through this for the first time, waking up spiritually, healing and simply just understanding traumas, and reworking my configured mental framework to be conducive in a healthy relationship. She is everything to me.

[@geisterfussl]

Me and my partner always speak openly about our feelings and thoughts about past, present and future, whether it’s about our relationship or just life in general. We want to prioritize our mental health and well being since both of us aren’t espacially mentally healthy and have been receiving our fair share of negative energy from other people around us. Even though we’ve only been together for a little over three months, I am able to be more vulnerable around my partner than I ever was around another person before (which is really hard for me considering some past experiences) and even though they are still a little bit more closed when it comes to expressing negative feelings directly in person, they also do tell me it’s absolutely not my fault and that I do actually improve their mental health and make them feel appreciated. I have been feeling down this week and my partner has spend a lot of time with me, just cuddling and talking or watching a show or movie together. I sometimes still don’t feel like this relationship is real because I was sure I‘d either live in an unhappy relationship or stay single forever. While my partner has been an amazing help this week, I of course try my best as well. I try to shower them with affection and appreciation, espacially when I feel like they need it. Simple gestures are also really important for me: I put my partner‘s favorite drink in the fridge before they visit, prepare a hot water bottle to put under the blanket or make pancakes as breakfast at the weekend. I am rambling way too much. The only thing I’ve learned from this: There is a person out there that will understand you and bring out the best in you. A relationship is a beautiful thing and if it’s not there probably is something going wrong.

This video was undoubtedly the best one I’ve watched for dating advice. The thing is, everyone seems to only teach people how to get numbers and make people flustered-not how to legitimately form a healthy and productive relationship. Thanks.

Based on the way it feels, and this video really backed it up... I am in a healthy relationship. It feels amazing 🥰 He is amazing, sweet, funny, we are alike but also very different... We can be comfortably silent together, have deep and meaningful conversations, and be silly and laugh together. We respect eachothers boundaries, and have been able to overcome our first small obstacles and arguments in a healthy way. We mainly see eachother in the weekends because of work and there being 2 households. However, sometimes we love a weekend to ourselves... That's the way we have some distance every now and then. A weekend where I can watch movies, enjoy my own (and my 2 cats) company for a bit, or do something fun with friends or family... He has a mild form of autism and he just needs to recharge sometimes too, so that's what he does in a weekend like that. Mostly we see each other 2 or 3 weekends in a row, and then followed by one where we don't. It's hard for the first week but it gets a little easier after that. And an awesome bonus is that you can really tell we've missed one another, when we see each other again. And even though each weekend we spend together is amazing, that weekend after not seeing eachother for 2 weeks is always just a teeny tiny bit better ☺️ And that's really in the most positive way possible, because what it does is that it really reminds us of how crazy we are about one another each and everytime ❤

Sooo true! I’ve been with my current boyfriend for almost 6 months now. And it wasn’t until recently that we started opening up to each other. We started becoming more vulnerable with each other. After that, we naturally just became more affectionate toward each other, and I think it’s because we were able to see each others soft spots and appreciate each other more after sharing intimate thoughts and feelings. at this point I feel like our relationship has gotten stronger by the day :)

Was in a toxic relationship, thought being yelled at and pressured into things were ‘normal’. Now that I’m in a healthy relationship, I can communicate and take things slow with him without feeling anxious. I love him and I see a future with him. ❤

For me personally, #4 is actually very important to me. My mother was a narcissist and was absolutely horrible at properly handling conflict. This cause frequent, unnecessary pain and suffering for everyone. Eventually, her inability to properly handle conflict, stress, and bad situations took a huge toll on her physical and mental health to the point where her own body gave up on her and she died in her early 50's. My family and I still bare the scars of her emotional abuse to this day, so it is very important for me to be able to find someone that can and will handle conflict well. It should be to the point where even if things were said that should have never been said, we admit our faults, seek to be forgiven by one another, and grow together past the event(s). If she can't do that, then I will never marry her.

Not in a relationship but still watch this to prepare for future 😂😂

I felt all of these things towards my boyfriend, I tried to hard and truly loved him. I felt safe and cared about and we were like best friends. 2 weeks ago he broke up with me out of the blue and has cut off contact with me, saying he just lost feelings. The week or so before he did this he was always on his phone around me and it felt as if he didn't care. The day before he broke up with me things were really rough and I asked to speak with him and he said how he truly cares and I'm the most amazing person he's met. I've been struggling the past month or so with my mum's recent cancer diagnosis and I'd just been quite emotional around him for a while. I coukd really see a future with me and him and we connected so well together. The sudden breakup just really hurts so much because things were so nice. The sudden switch from him being lovely so not caring about me hurts like hell. Sorry just a rant, I wanted to get It off my chest. I just really struggle with love and I thought this was finally a good experience but ended realltbadly. Stay strong lovelies it's gonna be okay

This reminds me the relationship I'm in now is very healthy. We still fight at times but always make up after, actually genuinely make up not just with sex. My exes didn't do any of these things, especially helping with housework, communicating and affection that wasn't sex

[@rainbowpeeannmarie3413]

I think splitting financial things up is important. That you both pay your fair share. Also Honesty and Loyalty are massive. Being financially fair, and loyalty are huge, unless you and your partner have already had a talk and agreed on something different. Also communication is the biggest and best thing you can have in your relationship. I’m talking about all the relationship stuff ahead of time is the best thing you can do. Relationship stuff like if you want a monogamous relationship or a poly relationship. What you consider cheating to be, because apparently it’s not the same for everyone. If your goal with this relationship is to one day get married and have kids, or move in with each other, or if you’d rather just stay dating, never have kids, and never move in with each other. How much personal space you actually like to have, what you are and aren’t comfortable with, etc. I found it to be very helpful for me with my current partner to talk about all of this right away. If your partner is actually the one, I feel like they would be pretty OK with talking about all that kind of stuff right away.

All great habits! 😊 I know with my girlfriend we encourage and reward when either of us ask for reassurance of any kind. We acknowledge that asking for reassurance is not innately attacking, but rather that it is innately loving to provide your partner with reassurance when needed. This leads to a very healthy and open dynamic for us 😊

[@Mezcon2]

I feel like as long as both partners are honest, daily communicate and have a spirit of sharing the load of life together, it will most likely work out. ☺️

I always try to remind my husband how much we appreciate him. He does a lot for us and he keeps the routine in the house going. He helps with all outside errands while I stay home with the toddler and expecting our second. If I ask him to do the dishes he’ll do that AND fold the laundry and whatever else he sees that needs to get done. I always remind him he keeps the wheel going with us. He’s a huge part of our team that keeps us going.

[@Hcollins371]

This is my first healthy relationship. I've been in toxic relationships basically since I started the dating scene. And this video backs up that this is healthy as can be. I love him to death and he feels the same way. ❤

My issue is housework and personal time for myself.. some people dont understand, i really really miss my old self.. i need some time for my own time, my own space.. im not going away, just 1-2 hrs to destress and help with housework is good.. they dont realize, im not a robot.. full time job and full time mom and wife and full time housechores.. its burning me
