If you’re here at Sense2Love, then hopefully you’re either in a satisfying relationship, or are looking for one. So what makes a relationship good? Well, there’s many ways to answer that question, possibly as many ways as there are relationships! However, sometimes it’s easier to define a good relationship by what it isn’t.

Bad relationships:
1. Make you feel more alone than when you actually are alone
2. Cause you to lose your identity
3. Make you not trust your own emotions
4. Give you a sense of relief when the other person isn’t around
5. Lead to wondering how it would be with that cute girl/guy at work
6. Lead to silence, rather than discussion
7. Cause your friends to ask if you’re ok, or why you’re with the other person
8. Might be tolerated with drugs, alcohol, overeating, overworking, etc – anything to escape
9. Are based on motives rather than emotions
10. Hurt

If you know someone dealing with a relationship that meets any of these criteria, it’s time to talk with them, or help them find a better solution – either by helping both people to change, or to find someone else. Those of you who’ve been there will know how important it is to escape the trap of “trying to make it work” when it’s clearly not working.

Take care of yourselves, and those you care about!
