A relationship can present challenges once the initial excitement fades, particularly if one lacks the skills to navigate its complexities. It requires ongoing commitment, understanding, and loyalty. Additionally, it necessitates a sense of security in being comprehended by one's partner, especially during periods of personal change. While it is essential to uphold the integrity of the relationship and support each other's growth, there are often debates regarding what behaviours should be normalized in love and which should not.

Amna, a relationship therapist, frequently shares insights on enhancing the quality and health of romantic partnerships. In a recent post, she discussed the importance of distinguishing between acceptable and unacceptable behaviours. "Indeed, disagreements are inevitable, and there will be moments of frustration where both partners may feel inadequate. Like all aspects of life, relationships have their highs and lows. However, practising grace and engaging in repair during these times can be beneficial," she stated.

Here are things you can normalise in a relationship:

Disagreements:

In any relationship, it is common to experience arguments and disagreements. Contrary to widespread belief, conflicts can be beneficial, as they often promote greater clarity and enhance understanding of one another's perspectives and opinions.

Learning how to repair:

It is important to recognize that none of us enter a relationship with complete knowledge of its dynamics. Therefore, through the passage of time and the application of trial-and-error approaches, we acquire the skills necessary to manage repairs and resolve conflicts in an effective manner.

Feeling unhappy:

Not always you are going to feel happy with your partner around. Our emotions fluctuate naturally and we may feel unhappy, even when they are with us.

Things to not normalise in a relationship:

Walking on eggshells:

If you feel the need to be careful about what you say and what you do and feel overstimulated for walking around eggshells around your partner, it is a classic red flag.

Being shut down:

When we are constantly made to shut down because our needs are not addressed, so much so that we stop communicating, it is an unhealthy sign.

Not feeling supported:

A relationship demands that we support and care about the partner at all times. But if that is not how we feel with our partner, it’s time to reconsider the status of the relationship.

Feeling inferior:

When we are constantly disrespected and made to feel inferior in a relationship, it is time to call it quits.
