A healthy relationship.
In a healthy relationship, you should feel comfortable talking through your emotions.
You should feel encouraged to speak about what is going through your mind or what is concerning you.
If you happen to have a problem with something your partner has said or done, you should feel comfortable talking to them about it to them without fear of the conversation escalating into a fight.
You should feel confident that no matter what is wrong, you are going to overcome the problem and find a solution as a team because it's called a partnership.
You shouldn’t feel compelled to hide what is bothering you in order to keep the peace.
You shouldn’t feel like you have to walk on eggshells, otherwise it will cause complications in the near future between the two of you.
You shouldn’t feel like you need to hide any part of yourself, because your partner should want to know how you’re feeling at all times.
Even if it hurts to hear what they’ve done to upset you, they should still want to hear it because they care about your opinion.
After all, if you never tell them what is wrong, they are never going to realize why you are upset.
They are never going to have the chance to change their behavior.
They are never going to be able to work towards bettering themselves and down the line, you are going to end up resenting them for it.
That is why your best option is to act straightforward from the start.
Tell your partner what is on your mind, even when the words are hard to say.
Refuse to hold anything back, because in a healthy relationship, you should show them every side of yourself.
You should be completely and utterly you.
Remember, you being honest about your feelings isn’t the same as you causing drama.
You shouldn’t feel like you’re doing your relationship a disservice by bringing up complaints, because really, your relationship would suffer more if you bottled everything up inside.
Even though you might feel awkward bringing up the things that have been bothering you, you should be rest assured that not every single problem in your relationship should lead to an argument.
You should be able to talk to your partner about things that you are unhappy about without them getting upset at you, without them attacking you, without them accusing you of acting overly emotional.
When you’re with the right person, you are going to have uncomfortable conversations, but those type of conversations are the foundation to a healthy relationship.
