How to Get Your Significant Other to Treat You Right
HOW TO 
Tags: Being Treated Well, Good Relationships, Dating
You deserve someone who treats you right so be sure your boyfriend or girlfriend does.
| 1. | Decide if this is indeed the relationship for you. |
| 2. | Learn to communicate. You will need to feel comfortable talking about your feelings, and those that you perceive your partner to have. Once you have decided to talk openly about your feelings, you may want to have the talk in an environment in which you feel safe. |
| 3. | Keep in mind that if you are feeling something, your feelings are valid. Do not allow this person to minimize your feelings. |
| 4. | Write down a few things that you want to talk over, and if possible, you should have some examples of the behaviors that you are not comfortable with. Make sure that you have a clear understanding of the issues you would like to address. |
| 5. | Start the conversation with something positive about the person, or about your relationship. People are often defensive when they perceive negativity, so make sure you go in with an open heart. If you can't think of anything good to say, you may want to think over the choice to stay with your partner. |
| 6. | Ask your partner to hear you out, before he or she speaks. If you sense that your partner is not receptive, you may want to have the conversation at a later time. |
