this doesn’t really answer the question and i’m sorry but i feel like u have to define your healthiest/best form of yourself and strive to be that everyday with compassion. and also take care of your body, heart, and mind as if it were a child’s or your best friend if that makes sense.
if i’m honest, i learned from tiktok videos of women saying how we should really expect to be treated. and i don’t mean feminine energy provider bullshit, i mean like therapists talking about what a healthy relationship looks like. and then i went into my relationship with those values, knowing what i want, knowing what i deserve, and knowing what my dealbreakers are. my bf never yells at me, he listens to me, he’s gotten defensive in the past but is getting better at that, we talk things out,
i’m currently in therapy and i’ve been doing that :) i just worry that since ive never seen a healthy relationship, i may end up settling because what i ask for is “too picky” or something of the sort. i don’t know if what i ask for is just normal and i wouldnt know bc i haven’t seen it, or if it really is unrealistic standards
