Community: A good relationship
Each week, we gather our community’s wisdom. This week, we asked:
What does a good relationship look and feel like to you?
“Being able to say the most random things to them without them judging.”
“Not concerned about the consequences of being in it.”
“I can be myself, unreservedly.”
“Honest, fun but able to be serious, supportive, mutual.”
“You can be true to yourself.”
“Feels like freedom.”
“Both people are willing to put in effort to spend time together, even if it’s as small as a text.”
“Safe to communicate. Able to hold space for the other. Repair is a priority.”
“Calm. I’m finally experiencing healthy love from my best friends, and it’s firm and honest and kind.”
“Where we share knowledge with each other about things and experiences.”
“Someone I can count on.”
“Everyone can be authentic.”
“Where I am understood.”
“Being able to work through lots of disagreements and challenges with someone.”
“With my cats - they taught me about boundaries, agency, and being in the present.”
“Seeing all parts of you, even the ones you don’t like. Honest vulnerability.”
“A good relationship feels like home.”
“Partnership, calm.”
“Peaceful.”
“Having trust and honesty with each other.”
“Safe, like a warm hug.”
“Good communication and having good interest in simple things.”
“When you’re a better version of yourself when you’re with your partner.”
