A vow or two
Things I vow to NEVER do in a relationship/friendship
- Make them feel small
- Disappear on them (which is different from leaving them alone)
- Tell them they are 'too hard' to love
- Make them feel so incredibly unworthy of being loved
- Say they are 'too much'
- Call them selfish or self-centered
- Go to bed angry
- Tell them I don't have to explain anything or myself
- Say "figure it out yourself"
- Make them feel stupid for not understanding
- Be more open
- Communicate effectively
- Take their feelings into consideration
- Will not enable bad behavior
- Establish boundaries with them and others
- Never be ashamed of them
- Never ask them to change or act differently
- Make my love or feelings or respect evident
- Be supportive
- Never compare them to my exes or other friends
