What are the most important things in a relationship that you should ask for

 

We all forge meaningful relationships in life, but many of them become too draining with time. But what are the factors that make relationships go sour? When you start to sacrifice and compromise too often in a relationship it leads to resentment. Having said that, every relationship is demanding, and you need to invest a lot into it. But when it starts to drain you off, leads to resentment, and you feel dissatisfied always, it is time to rethink. 

 

Yes, relationships are important but there are a few things that every relationship should ensure you. So, what are those things that can make or break your relationship and what are the most important things in a relationship that you should always demand? These things are deal-breakers and become the basis of the existence of your being. 

 

You need to figure out what are the things that are important to you in a relationship and when those things are violated, you will not accept it. You will not be shy about breaking the relationship or moving on if these things are not guaranteed. 

 

But there is a word of caution. When you become demanding or rather vocal about the things that are important to you and the things that you are not willing to sacrifice at any cost, you may start to lose friends. It is a natural process. When you start demanding a few things that are important to you from others like your self-respect, freedom of thought or your right to say no, not all of your friends will accept the new you. But it is okay. Those who were true to you and understand you will stick to you and give you what you want. But those who are not true to you may choose to abandon you.

 

So, what are the most important things in a relationship that you should ask for?

 

1. Your self-respect

Everyone has self-respect, and demanding self-respect over anything else is your right. So if any relationship doesn't give you enough respect or self-respect, you need to ask for it. And even if nothing improves, you have your answers. 

 

Respect and self-respect is the fundamental principle of all the relationships we forge. And if this rule is broken, then there is no point in sticking to such a relationship.

 

2.     Trust

You should be able to trust your partner or friend or anyone you are in a relationship with. Because trust is the foundation of all the relationships that we forge, and if there is no trust there is no bond. So, what is the point of having a friend or a partner whom you can't trust or who does not trust you? So, trust is one of the most important things that you should ask for in every relationship you have. 

 

3.     Honesty

What is a relationship where there is no honesty and truth? Any relationship formed on the basis of lies or a relationship full of lies will not stand the test of time. So, honesty is something that is the fundamental value of all the relationships you form. It is not only applicable to love and romantic relationship but also to every relationship such as friendship and work relationships. 

 

 

4.     Loyalty

 

Don't you want your friends, family or partner to be loyal to you? Everyone seeks loyalty from relationships and it is your right to seek loyalty. Loyalty is a huge pillar of a successful relationship. So you better be loyal to your partner and expect the same in return. Nothing more and nothing less. 

 

5.     Bonding

What is a relationship, when there is no bonding or companionship? It would be like a dead rat. Love, care, concern, bonding and companionship are the fundamental values of all relationships. And if you are not getting these things out of your relationships, you should be vocal about it and if nothing works, you should rather part ways.
