PSYchology

You can love and be loved — and at the same time doubt whether we are good in this union. A family psychologist has named six signs of a healthy love relationship so that we can better understand ourselves and our partner.

“Love necessarily brings suffering”, “love is evil”, “romances usually end badly”, “love lives for three years” … Our culture is replete with ideas that associate love with suffering, and happiness with impermanence.

Amin'izao fotoana izao anefa dia tsy maika ny hanaiky izany ny psikology. Miezaka kosa izy ireo hamantatra izay tokony ho tantaram-pitiavana, mba tsy handrava antsika, fa ny mifanohitra amin'izany, dia mitondra fifaliana sy fahafaham-po.

Most experts agree that the foundation of a healthy relationship is emotional and physical security, trust, warmth, and mutual support. We have expanded this list to six points, which are commented on by family psychologist and emotionally focused couples therapist Rimma Maksimova.

Amin'ny alàlan'ny fanandramana ireo famaritana ireo amin'ny toe-javatra misy anao, dia ho azonao ny fomba mifanaraka amin'ny fifandraisana misy anao ankehitriny, ary manapa-kevitra ny amin'izay lalana tokony hizoranao.

1. You feel safe

The partner respects your physical integrity. A sense of security is the foundation of a healthy attachment. In the company of a partner, you can throw off the mask with complete trust and show your vulnerability. You feel that you are not manipulated, you are not threatened, on the contrary, you are respected.

When you meet after separation, your main feeling is joy. And in general, among the feelings that color your life together, there is more joy and pleasure, although there are also anger, fear, disappointment. But you can share these feelings with your partner and they won’t push you away. Together, you can understand where these feelings come from and heal the wounds from them.

Raha tsy izany

Perhaps your relationship can be called pathological: it is harmful to you, but you cannot stop it. The intensity of emotions often indicates too close a connection and masks the discord in a relationship that is mistakenly considered «passionate.»

Tips

Know that a relationship that does not provide a sense of security will not provide it in the future. Try to identify the side benefit they bring to you. For example, the brightness of feelings and sexual experiences drowns out the feeling of inner emptiness. Try talking to your partner about things that are insecure about you. If he doesn’t hear you, don’t hesitate to enlist the help of a professional to see if your relationship has a future.

2. Tsy matahotra ny tsy hitovy hevitra ianao

You can object to your partner, express a different point of view. You do not feel that you have to control yourself, that you need to weigh every word so as not to get anger, aggression or devaluation in response. You believe that you can negotiate and everyone will be accepted and heard. You know that close and warm relationships require mutual effort and openness, and this is not a frozen structure, but a system that requires constant nourishment.

Raha tsy izany

Perhaps you have a dominant partner. He is not confident enough in himself, he is trying to raise his self-esteem at your expense and therefore does not tolerate any contradictions. Or your way of expressing disagreement hurts him, he becomes defensive, and it seems to you that you cannot speak freely about anything.

Tips

Before you accuse your partner of tyranny, do some introspection. How do you express disagreement? Do you manage to talk about feelings, or do you also, defending yourself from feelings, attack your partner? Talk to him about how you need to be able to speak your mind to keep the relationship going. Perhaps this is not enough to defend their borders. Then you have to fight for yourself and your relationship.

3. You are not limited to the usual role.

Azonao atao ny mampiseho ny lafiny rehetra amin'ny toetranao nefa tsy mampandefitra ny fitiavanao. Io flexibility io dia miresaka fifandraisana mahasalama. Tsy voafetra amin'ny andraikitra tokana ianao ary tsy manisy marika ny namanao, satria fantatrao fa mampidi-doza ny fiheverana fa nianatra ny hafa tamin'ny fo ianao. Afaka manova ny tsironao, ny hevitrao, ny fahazaranao ianao, ary omenao fahalalahana mitovy ny hafa. Afaka miara-miova ianareo, mifankahita tsy tapaka.

Raha tsy izany

By confining ourselves to one role, we lose access to the riches of our personality and slow down the development of relationships. Estimate How long trouble «life under the label» gives you. Think about the labels you put on your partner. These games are often played together.

Tips

If you are out of breath, ask yourself what is comfortable and uncomfortable for you in this situation. Think about what bonuses your partner receives from the situation, how long ago and for what reason the label stuck to you. Why not emphasize with humor what is «out of the box» in your behavior?

Andramo ny miresaka amin'ny namanao: ahoana no tsapany rehefa manao izany ianao? Andramo ny mihaino azy ary mizara ny traikefanao rehefa tsy mamela anao hiala amin'ny andraikitra mahazatra anao izy. Manan-jo hamela zava-baovao ianao, hanova ary hanao zavatra mifanaraka amin'ny fanirianao sy ny filanao.

4. You are listened to and supported

When you express your opinion or feelings, you feel that the partner is with you, that he listens to you and tries to understand. Your feelings and experiences are important to him. You can ask for and receive attention and support. You do not need to beg for it, the partner responds to your requests, as you do to his.

This attitude is called «understanding the heart.» Even if the partner does not always understand what upsets you, he is upset that you are upset, and it is important for him that you share this with him. Your personal problems do not remain only yours, but become common.

Raha tsy izany

Perhaps everything goes well in your relationship only when the «weather at home» is good. For some, this is fine: they do not know how to provide support, they are afraid to make a mistake and feel the anger of a partner, or they themselves are overwhelmed by feelings and try to swim out on their own. But if one of the partners does not provide the other with attention and support, this inevitably causes heartache. The second partner feels unimportant and unnecessary.

Tips

To begin with, clearly articulate your needs, without expecting your partner to guess them. We think that the lover will read our thoughts, but this is a myth. Feel free to say that mutual support and attention for you are the basis of a relationship. You can also explain what kind of support you need: simple listening, encouragement, finding a solution, or something else.

If at this point your partner is unable to fully satisfy your need, look elsewhere for support (family, friends). Then be sure to return to the conversation about the importance of such assistance for you.

5. You are independent

Afaka mifandray amin'ny namana sy ny fianakaviana ianao, manomana zavatra, mameno ny filanao irery. Ny namanao dia tsy lasa ray aman-dreninao na tehinao. Fantatrao fa rehefa mitombo ny fiankinan-doha dia mitombo ny tahotra ny ho very fifandraisana, ary avy eo ny filana azy ireo dia mibahan-toerana noho ny faniriana. Na izany aza, ny fahaleovan-tena dia tsy manana lanja tanteraka: ny tsirairay amin'ny mpivady dia mahaleo tena mba hanome lanja bebe kokoa ny fifandraisana. Tsy maintsy mahita fifandanjana mifanaraka amin'ny rehetra ny mpivady.

Raha tsy izany

Perhaps your addiction is a temporary phenomenon, or you are not aware of it. Perhaps you chose her out of convenience or out of fear of being alone. It can also be the result of a relationship in which you are suppressed to make it easier to subdue you. You need to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of your position.

Tips

Well measure all the risks that addiction exposes you to. It doesn’t matter if it’s a material addiction, financial or emotional. By asking yourself the questions: “What is this addiction depriving me of?”, “How would I live on my own?”, “Why can’t I talk to my partner about this?”, You can move on to change the relationship if necessary.

6. You develop

Ny fifandraisanao no hery manosika anao handroso. Izy ireo dia mamela anao hivoatra sy hahita indray ny tenanao. Ny fifamatorana ara-pihetseham-po ara-pahasalamana dia fifampiankinan-doha ary manasitrana voajanahary, satria mamela anao hanapaka ny tsingerin'ny famerimberenan'ny traikefa maharary sy hanasitrana ny ratra sasany taloha. Tsapanao fa ankasitrahana sy ekena ianao nefa tsy manandrana mamerina.

Raha tsy izany

You may be stuck in a negative relationship cycle or suffering from the fear of losing your value to someone you love. In any case, coercion, fear and suffering rob you of pleasure and the chance to be yourself calmly and freely.

Tips

As soon as you start not feeling too good in a relationship—for example, often feeling angry or sad, losing your temper, becoming defensive, or annoyed—you need to ask yourself questions about the feelings that make you feel aggressive or helpless and about the nature of your attachment. This research is often easier to do with the help of a professional.

Tsarovy eto fa tsy misy tsy azo ihodivirana amin’ny fitiavana: manaiky ny zava-mitranga amintsika isika, na saina na tsy tonga saina.
