Key Take-Aways:
Social media does not always show the reality of a situation.
Unhealthy and abusive relationships have their good times too, but it is important to remember that if someone doesn’t hold to your standards of how you define love and how you want to be treated, that relationship may not be healthy for you. Always trust your gut and don’t make excuses for unhealthy behaviors.
We can all do our part to have healthier relationships, but never stay in an unhealthy relationship where you count on someone to change, or where you’re staying in it because you think you can save them.
Regardless of what causes someone to act in an unhealthy way, we are all accountable for our own actions.. A healthy way to respond when something makes us feel tanger, sadness, jealousy, and hurt, is to take a moment to identify your emotion, and then communicate about it to your partner in a healthy way.
Always be mindful of the 10 signs of an unhealthy relationship. If you experience unhealthy behaviors in your own relationship or see it in friend’s, seek help before these behaviors escalate to abuse.
Social media does not always show the reality of a situation. Don’t assume that because someone posts great photos online that their relationship is great IRL. Take time to ask your friend questions about their relationship and be mindful of what you say and comment, keeping in mind that comments like “#RelationshipGoals” could influence a friend to stay in an unhealthy relationship. Social media can also make us forget the bad times and only focus on the good, but remember, great relationships are based off of more than picture perfect photos.
Unhealthy and abusive relationships have their good times too, but it is important to remember that if someone doesn’t hold to your standards of how you define love and how you want to be treated, that relationship may not be healthy for you. Always trust your gut and don’t make excuses for unhealthy behaviors.
We can all do our part to have healthier relationships, but never stay in an unhealthy relationship where you count on someone to change, or where you’re staying in it because you think you can save them. It is not your job to fix your partner- that is a job for a trained counselor or expert. Leaving an abusive relationship can be very difficult and dangerous, so be sure to safety plan.
Regardless of what causes someone to act in an unhealthy way, we are all accountable for our own actions. We are all human and experience feelings like anger, sadness, jealousy, and hurt. A healthy way to respond when something makes us feel these things, is to take a moment to identify your emotion, and then communicate about it to your partner in a healthy way.
Always be mindful of the 10 signs of an unhealthy relationship (jealousy, volatility, deflecting responsibility, intensity, isolation, sabotage, betrayal, belittling, guilting, manipulation). If you experience unhealthy behaviors in your own relationship or see it in friend’s, seek help before these behaviors escalate to abuse.
