Have you ever been in a relationship where you seem to be the one doing most of the work?
Do you find your relationship centered around the needs only of your partner?
Does your partner ignore or condemn your concerns or feelings?
At what point do you stop and say, "Enough is enough. I have needs too!" Well, that time is now!
What are healthy relationships:
Relationships are formed when two people join together in a loving and supportive union - they are yin and yang, interconnected, working together. The secret to healthy relationships is equilibrium, meaning the needs of one partner never overshadow those of the other. One person within a relationship is never better or more deserving than the other. It is an equal partnership, in every aspect. The moment this distribution becomes off-centered or more focused on a single individual, the relationship crumbles from within and becomes an unhealthy union.
Imbalanced relationships lead to abuse:
Allowing a relationship to continue when your voice does not count is detrimental to your mental and emotional well-being. A partner that devalues your needs or feelings is an abusive partner. Sure, he may not be physically hitting you - but you are given no rights or power within the relationship, and this is definitely grounds for domestic abuse. A partner that debases you for his benefit is a partner that does not love you - he loves only what you can do for him.
Lesson to learn:
Never allow a romantic partner to undervalue who you are as a person or undermine your position within the relationship. Your voice does count, and a healthy relationship exists only when this is the case. We are all deserving of a balanced, loving relationship! Be responsible for your own well-being by stepping away from people that do not treat you with the love and respect you deserve.
