Note: a healthy boundary protects and respects a person, and does not seek to control or harm another person. Disrespecting boundaries is a sign of abusive behavior, not love. Setting boundaries helps ensure that everyone in a relationship feels comfortable with what’s happening, which is why a person’s boundaries should always be respected – even if you (or your partner) don’t like them. You deserve to feel safe talking to the person you love. Even if you bring up a difficult topic or disagree about something, that shouldn’t lead to screaming, name calling or any sort of physical confrontation. Do you feel supported and comfortable talking to each other about anything, including difficult topics?īeing able to communicate openly with your partner about anything without feeling fearful of how they’ll respond is so important in a healthy relationship. Trust is a building block of a healthy relationship, and without it, jealousy and insecurity can lead to unhealthy or even abusive behavior. You can love someone, but if you don’t trust them – or they don’t trust you – then the relationship won’t be healthy. If you’re in a relationship and wondering if love is enough, try asking yourself these questions: Do you trust each other?
