9. To File for Divorce
“If your partner feels like the relationship is over, it’s unfair for them to ask you to be the one to take the initiative to file for a divorce. That’s on them.” -Shannon Battle, licensed professional counselor
8. To Do Something You’re Terrified Of
“Your partner can certainly bring up trying something scary, but they should never ask you to face fears you are not ready to confront. Let’s say they love roller coasters but roller coasters scare you to death. They can ask you to go on one with them, but if you say no, they shouldn’t shame you into trying it.” -Janet Zinn, licensed social worker, psychotherapist, and couples counselor in NYC
