13. To Ignore Insults From Their Family
“Your partner should not ask you to ignore the rude or disrespectful things their friends or family say to you. Your partner is the guide for how your loved ones treat you, so if they let them get away with treating you badly, you don’t stand a chance – and if they ask you to ‘just let it go’ it won’t get any better. Your partner needs to stand up for you and should not ask you to ignore bad behavior.” -Julienne Derichs, licensed counselor and relationship expert in Chicago
12. To Give Up Your Religion
“You should never have to compromise on your values. Your partner should support you in your core beliefs and not ask you to change them.” -Kimberly Hershenson, licensed social worker and relationship therapist based in NYC
