What do you consider to be a healthy relationship?
relationships should make you happy, they shouldn't take away from that! yeah, there may be some bumps along the road that you have to work through, but if being with your significant other makes you sad, upset, depressed, etc on a regular basis, then it isn't healthy. they shouldn't hurt you mentally or physically, they shouldn't make you cry; there should be a mutual benefit for being together where you both add to the other's happiness and love, appreciate, and respect each other. however, there is a line where it goes too far and becomes an obsession, an 'I can't live without you' type of thing. people shouldn't need the other person to be happy and shouldn't guilt trip them into staying in the relationship. they should work on being happy on their own before going into a relationship and only adding onto that happiness by being together to prevent things from becoming toxic and abusive!
