Healthy Relationships Everyone deserves to feel safe and respected. In relationships between people—romantic, professional or friendships—understanding rights and responsibilities is the basis for mutually beneficial and respectful relationships. This includes understanding the connection between boundaries and expectations, and how to communicate needs clearly and honestly.
Relationship Rights and Responsibilities: You Have The Right To Be Respected and Have Autonomy in a Relationship. You are empowered to: • suggest or refuse to engage in activities • express opinions and be heard by your partner • expect that your privacy rights are respected - including private conversations, phone calls, text messages, emails etc. • require respect and be treated as an equal
You Are Accountable For Your Decisions and Actions in a Relationship. You are a great partner when you: • Respect the limits and personal values of your partner. • Communicate clearly and honestly, and with consideration toward your partner. • Respect the autonomy and independent decision-making of my partner, without pressure, coercion, or use of power or control your partner. • Compromise when needed without giving up your own personal values.
