When you’re finally in a Healthy Relationship

[angelinamagazi]

That “I really don’t wanna fight” reflex is so real lol

[brettabraham]

The "Cuz I love you? And I trust you?" is so spot on

[ImAlicjaFrank]

"Is this a trick?" My brain every time someone treats me with respect and kindness. 😂

My husband and I do what I call "chore swapping".
We made a list of everything that has to get done around the house, and then we each took that list and rated each task from 1 to 5. One means you don't mind doing it, and 5 means you hate doing it.
We then compared our lists to each other. It was shocking how many things I hated to do that he didn't mind at all. Same with my list. There were a ton of things on my list I didn't mind doing that he hated. So I took on all the things he hates and he took in all the things I hated to do. Then we just split the other tasks between us equally. It has worked out great. Neither of us feels like we have to do the "shitty jobs" around the house, and now everything gets done. We don't have to worry anymore about who does what, and we feel more united because we are helping each other enjoy our time doing chores. That's a win-win in my book.

Also it's refreshing to see a guy create a video online that's honest to God not disrespecting women. I like this.

At almost 66 I’m finally in a healthy relationship where my lovely man treats me this way. The joy of being respected and truly loved is sometimes overwhelming! Thank God. It’s never too late to find happiness!!

A man puts on a wig and earned my utmost respect; thank you for humbly laying out the obvious.

[the_not_pro_guy]

Yeah I keep crying because my gf treats me so freaking well. I have a lot of trauma to sift through and she’s so patient and loving, makes me so happy

[briannejohnson]

Holy crap. Please make more content with healthy responses. Some of us literally never see this. This was really enlightening and validating!

The time I finally realized I had healthy friendships at last: I dropped something and made a mess and ran to clean it up, apologizing and they all told me it was ok and started HELPING ME CLEAN IT UP. One of them took me by the shoulders and said, “It’s ok. No one is mad at you.”

I actually had like a brain short circuit.

My ex would say ‘stop criticising me’ 😣
We never were able to have a discussion, fix it, and move on in a better and healthy way
He is a narcissist I was married to him for 13 years. Divorced 10. He still makes me feel small and taught my children to disrespect me. I’m still trying to overcome this, find my inner light, and like myself again. I’d like to be whole before I meet my next partner and pray they will be like this 🙏🏻

This is exactly what happened when I first met my husband. He communicated just like this and I was blown away. I had to talk to my therapist about it and the resulting fear that I would do something awful to ruin the relationship somehow and I REALLY didn't want to do that! She helped me navigate this sudden golden person and our connection and now we've been married over 30 years. He's still the same kind, empathetic and genuine man I met so long ago now, only better because we have taught each other about ourselves and our needs so we can be better for each other. I feel like I'm closing in on the person I was always wishing I could be... All thanks to his respect, love and friendship.

My boyfriend is like this and it's very new to me. So new that I have to remind myself to actually express myself instead of "protecting" his feelings.

[ramyanagashree]

When you are emotionally abused by people this is what happens when you meet a genuine person and have a healthy relationship. Please god, I want to have a healthy relationship where I can have a normal discussion without anyone shouting at me. 🙏

[damattice]

I’m 50 an no man has ever responded to me like that. Either they are insulted, become defensive, or have a tantrum like a child. Men need to call out other men when they act like jerks. Thank you. ❤

[jessicakathryn]

I started crying the first time my boyfriend did this. He held me for like three minutes while I cried on his shoulder, literally.

[amberklein]

Wow. This scene made me burst into tears.
You don’t realize how bad it was until LONG after you escape.

[esmeraldachiau]

I wish all brokenhearted people get to have this kid of relationship ❤

[sarachristine]

Honestly this video made me realize i need to work on myself. When my husband asks me to do things like that sometimes i feel as though hes nitpicking and i really do feel as though i cant do anytning good enough. But now im realizing that he is just trying to get me to listen and i have been neglecting his feelings. Thank you for posting this. I am the one in my relationship who shuts down or explodes and this made me realize i need to do better.

[findingfreedom]

What would this actually be like? I have no idea. I never experienced this in 28 years of marriage. Finally free and on a healing journey.
