Healthy Relationships: Part 2

Healthy Relationships

Read the following scenario and answer the question below.

Imagine that you have a partner whom you have been dating for over a year. When you began dating, you had an honest conversation about expectations and boundaries. You met your partner’s parents early in the relationship and talked about their expectations, as well. For the first year, you and your partner were quite happy. Now, you feel like you want to take your relationship to the next level. You discuss this with your partner, but they feel uncomfortable and want to keep the relationship as it is. You agree, but you keep bringing it up every few days. You really want to change the boundaries of your relationship and know that you can convince your partner to do so.
