Individual Rights
Your personal rights within a relationship or partnership.
You deserve and have the right to...
- Work together with your partner to make decisions and share responsibilities when it comes to your relationship, kids, home, and finance.
- Embrace your growth and explore your potential, feeling free to do so without guilt or fear.
- Enjoy friendships and connections with both women and men outside of your relationship.
- Express your thoughts and feelings openly, and ensure they’re valued just as much as your partner's.
- Feel free to express your sexual needs and desires without worrying about coming off as selfish or demanding.
- Have your emotional, physical and intellectual needs be as important as the needs of your partner.
- Expect your partner to give at least 50 percent to resolve difficulties in your relationship
- Hold your partner responsible for their behavior rather than assuming that responsibility yourself.
- Feel safe and respected in your relationship and NEVER be physically attacked or psychologically degraded by your partner. If you find yourself facing any physical harm or emotional disrespect, remember that you have the right to end the relationship.
- Expect meaningful changes in behavior rather than apologies or promises from your partner if there's ever a single incident of abuse or harm from your partner.
