Unhealthy Relationships:1.We mistake love for physical attraction, neediness and the need to rescue or be rescued. (Examine how your desperation effects your perception)
2.We choose emotionally and physically unavailable people in relationships. (Examine your fear of intimacy)
3.We pick people who treat us poorly by being punishing, critical, controlling or demeaning. (Examine your low self-esteem.)
4.We lose interest in our own personal interests and activities and become enmeshed with the one person and their interests. (Examine your boundaries.)
5.We stay in and return to unhealthy relationships. (Examine your fear of loneliness.)
6.We begin sexual relationships or become emotionally attached without really knowing someone. (Examine your boundaries.)
7.We fantasize about who we think someone is and then are crushed when they fall short of that fantasy. (Examine what is reality vs. fantasy)
Healthy Relationships:
1.When something is wrong we can talk about it.
2.We encourage each other to be better people.
3.Having separate interests and friends isnt a threat.
4.We can be vulnerable about feelings with some degree of safety.
5.We can handle difficult situations as a team.
6.We both are dedicated to spending quality time with each other.
7.Trust builds through our growing capacity to be honest with one another.
