A Healthy Relationship
"In a healthy relationship, vulnerability is wonderful. It leads to increased intimacy and closer bonds. When a healthy person realizes that he or she hurt you, they feel remorse and they make amends. It’s safe to be honest. In an abusive system, vulnerability is dangerous. It’s considered a weakness, which acts as an invitation for more mistreatment. Abusive people feel a surge of power when they discover a weakness. They exploit it, using it to gain more power. Crying or complaining confirms that they’ve poked you in the right spot.” ― Christina Enevoldsen.
What would you say are key signs that you're in a healthy relationship? I would say having your own space to do things such as hobbies, I always try and encourage my partner to embrace his interests and go out with his friends!
All the best, Leia

Compared with my previous relationship to now, I realize that I wasn’t in a healthy relationship before like I am now. My ex was very emotionally abusive. Eventually I got fed up with it and ended it. But now I’m in a healthy relationship with my partner that doesn’t put me down when I’m not having a good day or make me feel like a burden.

Well said Leia, a healthy relationship could have different meanings to us. The most important thing is that we are comfortable and happy.
Evelina, I'm happy for the bold steps you took. We all deserve a healthy relationship.
