    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.

      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."

And the other day i brought him his favorite snacks when he was at work. It really is the small things

    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)

    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
      @eaaeeeea 5 місяців тому +2

      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.

      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.

      It's so true that open communication can solve so many misunderstandings. The idea of talking as equals really resonates-why do you think some people struggle with such a simple yet powerful habit? Could it be fear of vulnerability or maybe not knowing how to express themselves effectively?

    I write my fiance love letters out of the blue to remind him that he's the one for me. I also like to give him massages after a long day of work without the pressure of sex. Sometimes it's nice to know that you can just relax without having to worry about that stuff. Especially when you're tired.

    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 ;)

    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!

I get it, too much small talk makes me feel completely depleated. Why don’t you keep her as an acquaintance and give her less of your precious time. When that happens you will have more time to invest in a person who also values growth in a relationship.

      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?
      Commitment doesn’t correlate to love in a relationship, but love in a relationship has effortless commitment.

It took some time and at some point it looked like we weren't meant to be and he just wasn't ready to let go of that, but he proved to me that he was able to do it for the sake of our relationship.

      @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 last relationship was toxic in that sense. She has a bestie and she has her own friends and so do I, but I always tried to be with her all the time.

      @@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.

    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.

    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.

    edit: this got more attention than i expected, and i did want to say that i am no longer in a long distance relationship. however, it was not due to the distance at all, simply too many conflicts between us. i’m in a different relationship (not long distance), and i just encourage everyone to find their person (if they want one) no matter the distance.

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.

    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.

    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 :)

      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. ❤️

Due to my PTSD I’m not able to cuddle them for long periods of time or I’ll get scared. He understands but I know deep inside it upsets him that we can’t cuddle or kiss nonchalantly, I have to be warned or I’ll get an anxiety attack. I hope to go to therapy soon

    Our son has a form of autism and ADD/ADHD. We love him with all we have, but sometimes he is too much for one parent. I work full-time, my wife works part-time. Every day we discuss our days, and work out a balance between personal space and caring for our son.

He actually listens and wants to know how I feel. He’s really had to push at times to get me to talk about how i feel because I was so used to keeping it myself. He doesn’t judge me and we’re really there for each other. Things just feel very equal in what we give to each other.

She is just like me. sometimes my friends like to joke around and say she is me from a different universe and others say i should marry her right away. And she is one of the first people to truly care for me.

    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.

He lets himself be vulnerable with me, something that he finds pretty hard to do, same with me, but we have both promised each other to never hide things from each other if it's hurting us. He also is just my anchor at the worst of times when my anxiety gets out of hand, he reassures me that mistakes are normal. We hope this relationship lasts! xx

    Never experienced these in my past abusive relationship. Now, I'm experiencing most of these with my current boyfriend.

It really takes time to find that someone who will make you feel everything.

  • @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.

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 :)

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. ❤

    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.

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.

    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 ❤

    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.
