From the beginning you need to know if you are in a good relationship or should ask for help. So, to know this just answer some questions:

1. Are you happy?

2. In this relationship you feel you are yourself?

3. Do you think your partner treats you right?

I have meet couples that, at a first glance, seemed Ok but when you get to know them you realize that it is quite the contrary.

Let's see these questions:

1. Are you happy?

In order to be happy you need to have by your side a person to love you unconditionally and try to help you be a better person. To be happy you need to be free to make your own decisions, without being afraid that he/she does not agree.

You also need to have respect, sincerity and communication.

2. In this relationship you feel you are yourself?

Your partner needs to understand the differences between you and accept them. You should be free to express yourself even if he/she does not approve of it. Do not forget you have a relationship, you are equal and none of you should be bossy.

3. Do you think your partner treats you right?

In a relationship both partners are equal and neither of them must be a dictator. Your partner should be your lover and friend, be always there for you (even if you don't do things right) but also to stop you from doing something wrong, without being bossy.

If your relationship has the elements above, then you are lucky and your couple is a successful one.
