6 healthy relationship habits that are wrongfully considered toxic

Every relationship has its own set of rules. From childhood, we have romanticised the idea of relationships and stereotyped it with our knowledge of romance from books, films and music.

However, in reality, dreamy relationships are the ones that know how to create a safe space for the people involved and know how to embrace each other in their wholeness and honesty.

We often consider a lot of habits in relationships as toxic, when they are just ways of creating better space and the idea of individuality in relationships.

“A lot of healthy relationship habits get a bad reputation because of idealized romanticised narratives in literature, movies, and pop culture. We absorb them, and then apply them to our relationships.

These misunderstandings prevent us from acting in these healthy ways, because we think they are wrong. This can create misunderstandings and further solidify unhealthy patterns,” Therapist Israa Nasir further explained.
