Anymore I see all these people constantly complaining and being in bad moods because of a relationship. People stay in relationships so long they forget what it's like to have a good one. Some people don't even notice they are in a toxic relationship even if it's clear to other. The things involved in relationships that I'm naming is a relationship I'd want my best friend to be in.
1. A relationship should be a partnership, not an ownership
Your significant other shouldn't be able to tell you what to do or where you can and can't go. They shouldn't make your decisions for you. You should make all decisions together equally and should never tell one another what they can and can't do.
2. A relationship should be a friendship
It makes life so much better when the person you are with is also your best friend. You should be able to have fun with this person no matter where you are.
3. A relationship should allow you to be yourself
You should be able to be 100% comfortable to be yourself with whoever you are with. If they make you feel embarrassed of who you are, they aren't the one for you.
4. A relationship should bring out the best in you
You shouldn't want to pull your hair out 24/7 and put you in a bad mood. You shouldn't make bad decisions with this person. Who you are with should make you want to be the best you could possibly be and bring out your best side. For them and for you.
5. A relationship should never tell a lie
You should be able to trust your significant other 100%. It should involve so much honesty.
6. A relationship should always have some tough love.
There's always something you need to hear but don't want to. Your significant other should be the ones to make you hear these things without being scared and you should be this person for them. Not to hurt you but to better you, you should always have each other's best interest.
7. A relationship shouldn't make you be strong all the time
You should be allowed to have your hard days and be weak knowing they will pick up the slack. In the days you can only give 40% effort they should cover the other 60%. It's not going to be 50/50 every day.
8. A relationship should have so much communication
You guys are a team and to use the teamwork correctly you should always communicate about anything and everything. Not talking to your significant other about things builds tension.
9. Your relationship should be your home
It should be your comfort zone, when you are with them it should make you feel like you're so safe no one could ever touch you. No matter where you two are you should always feel at home with them.
