a healthy relationship is one that is full of respect and honesty. Love of course is not questioned and communication is key. you don't have screaming and hollering going on and you care what the other is feeling, always considering there feelings, if you don't like the way it sounds if someone says it to you then don't say it to anyone else. its very simple really, treat people the way you want to be treated and things will work out. unhealthy relationships are so crazy, you walk on egg shells when your around people who are nasty in behavior. What I mean is rhis if you can not talk to someone aout the little stuff without them seeming to be irritated with you for opening your mouth not a good sign. Respect given should be received if you are being treated less than he is not worth your time no one is better that the next never let some one talk down to you and never never let someone raise a hand to you, even if they never hit you raising the hand is the intent to so it and should never be excepted. Yhere is so much more i could say but won't I hope this is a start. Good Luck:)

Healthy: 1) The couple communicates well; there may be disagreements, but if so they fight fairly. 2) No abuse is occurring. 3) Each behaves in a way that the other considers adequately responsible (maintains a job, for example, doesn't cheat, doesn't waste large amounts of money, shares in child rearing, no substance abuse etc). 4) The couple mutually loves and respects each other. 5) Values may be somewhat different, but not widely disparate. For example, a part-time Baptist and an Easter Catholic will probably get along fine, but an Orthodox Jew and a radical Muslim will not. Some other examples of red flags: high sex drive vs. low or no sex drive; one wants a big family, the other wants no children; one believes in "open marriage", the other believes in specific fidelity.
Obviously, an unhealthy relationship contains one or more of the above in reverse: 1) They use insults and/or sarcasm in arguments; 2) Emotional or even physical abuse is occurring; etc.

An unhealthy relationship is when someone takes the other for granted, doesn't call when they are suppose to, doesn't come home when they say they will, doesn't help with things that need to be done, does all the taking and doesn't give anything to the relationship.
A healthy relationship is based on mutual caring and understanding for each other. Open communication, sharing of each other. People who support each other and don't try to undermine the other. No stupid fights, no one gets hurts and a geninue caring for the other person.

I healthy relationship is considered when a couple have motivation and look towards future in the areas of career goals, lifestyle etc... And also love and respect each other. To be in a healthy relationship is also consider being with the right person who provides you emotional support and understanding.
Unhealthy is when a couple have no life except to cling onto each other for no purpose. Selfishness and acts of unrespect and lust

A healthy one is when someone treats you right always. Take care of you and love you for who you are and not try to change you. A unhealthy one is when the person is abusive in every way putting you down disrespecting you and your parents and putting his hand on you.Threatening you calling you names never wanting to take you anywhere or bringing girls around and saying there just friends.

Pain, that is the difference. If I hurt than it is time to leave. She will figure it out. Common sense will take over. Me, I am jaded. I no longer give any man second chances. He screws up once and I am outta there. She is young and should not feel that way, not yet. I have a son and I have tried so hard to teach him to be a good man, especially where women are concerned. I fear it will be all in vain. He is young and his manhood will be leading him around. It is inevitable. Good luck, Mom. And some for me too.

All relationships have their problems. A healthy relationship constitutes the ability of both partners to come to an agreeable solution without perpetual arguing or manipulation. Oh, and they love each other no matter what. It's one thing to get mad at our partner. We have to learn to forgive and forget but enjoy the time we have with each other.

Healthy (H) is when you smile and laugh and you feel happy, Unhealthy (HU) you don't find yourself laughing and feeling happy, you question everything. It kinda is depressing. H, also there is trust and understanding as HU doesn't have that, all it has is fighting and constant nagging and unhappyness....
