You Have Rights

You have the right to be loved and respected; to come and go when you want and where you want. You have the right to have friends and family, to visit them. Your partner should encourage, support, and trust you to make your own decisions.

In a healthy relationship, there is no need for either partner to be worried about the other being unfaithful, or hoarding money, or lying. Healthy relationships have love, respect, trust and laughter, not control, manipulation, mistrust, and uncertainty.
