7. They ask you to make sure everything is equal.
While equality is very important in a relationship, not everything has to be equal. As Dr. Walfish explains, you can’t just split the responsibilities in a relationship fifty-fifty. The secret of a healthy relationship is to learn when it’s your time to compromise and make sacrifices, even though it might not be fair all the time.
You can tell you’re in a healthy relationship when it’s impossible to tell who gives more because you’re just not keeping score, Walfish added. If you’re constantly trying to keep score on who has more points on doing the dishes or cleaning the bathroom, then you’ll end up killing the love very fast.
Also, keeping score can be very exhausting. Truth be told, there will be times in a relationship when you’re going through something that will require your whole attention, so you might not be able to give 50 percent in a relationship, and the other person might have to do the heavy lifting.
However, balance is key to a relationship, and even though your partner might be there for you when you need help, there will also be times when they’ll need help in return. The secret, however, is that neither partner complains when is their turn to give it all in the relationship.
