I was online this morning and saw this on Yahoo: 6 Signs You're In A Healthy Relationship - Yahoo and it got me to thinking. Especially in my current situation.So what relationship traits or signs are important to you? Some others that aren't on the list?
What have you done when a friend or partner is lacking in those traits or signs? Or what do you do when your friend or partner (spouse, boyfriend or girlfriend, or significant other) relationship changes or evolves and some of those traits or signs are missing?
How do you handle it when your friend or partner crosses the line? Or crosses a boundary?

I've been married for 25 years and one thing I've learned is that you need to pick and choose your battles.
Having said that, there is always the belief that things happen for a reason and sometimes you gotta go with your gut.
Hope I didn't confuse you Ms. Lola :)
I don't think I have ever been in a healthy relationship.
My husband and I rarely have difficulties between us, crossing lines or crossing wires, etc. If anything does come up we can always talk it out. He's wonderful, really!
99% of the time, honesty is the best policy. Tell the person what is on your mind. Talk about it. Maybe something is being misunderstood. Oh hell, I don't know!
That was an interesting article.
Dave and I will be married 20 years in May. I think we both have the six traits, at least most of the time. We're far from perfect.
Compromise has been a lifesaver for me. And for him, too, I suspect.
