The media bombards us with relationship discussions whether it\u2019s talk shows, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">90 Day Fianc<\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00e9<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Love Island<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, or gossip. With social media, there are countless dating platforms and apps for people to meet up. Some of the aforementioned media doesn\u2019t always show healthy relationships. People have criticized films and tv shows that glorify toxic, obsessive relationships.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Because the media overwhelms us with depictions of relationships, it\u2019s important for us to be aware of what healthy and unhealthy relationships look like. It\u2019s necessary to know how to spot the differences for our own safety and well-being.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Unhealthy relationships have borderline or fully abusive dynamics and actions occurring. It is also difficult for a person to break free of an unhealthy relationship if they don\u2019t know they are in one. Glamorizing and romanticizing unhealthy relationships is dangerous and threatens people\u2019s level of happiness as well as their mental health.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Promoting healthy relationships is the best method for ensuring people\u2019s safety and it is helpful to be aware of what unhealthy versus healthy dynamics look like. Healthy relationships enrich our lives by adding to them and boosting our happiness. Relationships provide us with support when we face difficulties and stressful days.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Healthy relationships are built on mutual respect, so they are partnerships &#8212; one person should not be dominating or controlling the other person. Although some healthy relationship dynamics might be obvious to some people, it isn\u2019t always as apparent to others.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are various ways you can share and promote healthy relationships. You can participate in campaigns raising awareness on social media platforms such as Instagram and Twitter. You can also encourage and participate in an open discussion with your friends, co-workers, and family members about what their thoughts are and how they compare. Also, it might be helpful to organize an event for teenagers and other students to learn about healthy relationships such as a classroom presentation. Additionally, you could talk about media and its role along with analyzing fictional shows or reality tv romantic relationships.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are also multiple signs that you can look for to determine whether you are in a healthy or an unhealthy relationship.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Trust\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Does your partner constantly ask where you are, try to look through your text messages and social media, or accuse you of cheating? If so, these are typical signs of an unhealthy relationship. Healthy relationships are built on mutual trust without crossing boundaries. You shouldn\u2019t have to share your passwords, reassure your partner you\u2019re not cheating, or tell them where you are every hour. If your partner doesn\u2019t trust you and acts this way, it\u2019s a toxic dynamic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Open communication<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Can you have honest conversations with your partner? Does your partner ignore your attempts at having an open dialogue? If they also constantly accuse you of lying and don\u2019t pay any mind to your thoughts or feelings, then it\u2019s another sign of an unhealthy relationship.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Pacing<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Did the start and pace of the relationship feel comfortable or rushed? Was there love bombing present? If you feel as if the relationship was rushed, then it leans toward an unhealthy dynamic. If your partner is already mentioning marriage plans or saying how much they love you on the first day of the relationship, then it might be best to step away from them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Freedom<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Does your partner insist on sticking together all the time? Do they respect your time? In a healthy relationship, you should be able to devote your own time to your own interests, hobbies, and schedules.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Accountability\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Does your partner play the blame game? If your partner doesn\u2019t own up to their wrongdoings in the relationship and only blames you as the constant problem, that\u2019s another red flag.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Gut feelings<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In addition to all the warning signs mentioned previously, trust your gut. Sometimes we have a gut feeling that tells us something isn\u2019t right even though we don\u2019t have a logical reason why we feel this way. If your partner\u2019s actions are triggering a warning bell inside your head, then it\u2019s best to go with your gut.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you or someone you know is in an abusive relationship, there is help.
