Read More »Sometimes, it can be hard to know what you should consider acceptable or "normal" behavior in a long-term relationship. This is especially true if you haven't been in very many of them, and have drawn most of your knowledge of them from public and media discussions of long-term relationships, which often play up the negative aspects of being with a partner for a long time. But while every relationship comes with its own unique set of standards, rules and problems, there are certain things you should never have to put up with in a long-term relationship. Period. When you have invested years of your life in a person, it can be really easy to overlook or excuse their behavior (even if it makes you miserable) because it will be difficult to move out, because you're afraid of having to find a new social circle, because your family will be disappointed, or just because you don't want to go through the devastating heartbreak of a split. And obviously, it's important to be honest with your partner about how their behavior makes you feel, and typically give them a chance to correct it before ending things. But there are certain behaviors that are pretty much always unacceptable in romantic relationships, and if they don't improve even after you and your partner try to talk things through, then it's safe to say they're probably never going to. Ultimately, even if something is considered "normal" behavior in a long-term relationship, that doesn't mean it has to be normal in yours — you get to decide what works and what doesn't for you two as a couple. But if you're holding off on a breakup because you're unsure about what's "normal" in a long-term relationship and worried that your standards of how you should be treated are "too high," just know there are at least 10 things you should never have to put up with at all if they make you unhappy — and you shouldn't hold off on calling your partner out about them just because you've been together for a while.

Read More »Emotional abuse is not normal in any relationship — long-term, short-term, or otherwise. If you've noticed your partner trying to control you, put you down, or otherwise make you feel bad, that's not just someone blowing off steam, or how "all relationships get" over time — that's emotional abuse. If they threaten to break up with you frequently, threaten to kill themselves if you ever leave, or blame you for their problems, you should know that that's emotionally abusive, too. It's wrong for your partner to treat you this way, no matter how long the two of you have been together. In long-term relationships, it's normal and healthy to help one another out. If you're already out and your partner texts you, "Can you pick up my prescription from the pharmacy?" that's OK. If you get back from running errands and your partner has washed a load of your dirty clothes, that's great, too. But what's not so great is when your partner leaves their messes for you to clean up or constantly blows off their job because they know you'll foot the grocery bill if you have to. It's not normal for one member of the relationship to be shouldering the majority of the chores, expenses, and responsibilities. Every couple divides household responsibilities up according to each partner's strengths and abilities, but if you find yourself doing pretty much everything, well, that's not healthy, fair, or normal behavior — and you shouldn't put up with it.

All couples get mad sometimes — and the longer you're with someone, the more comfortable you're going to become with being honest about when you're pissed off. But focusing irrational anger on your partner isn't normal, whether you've been together five days or five years. It's not safe, either. Even if your partner's anger is mostly directed at other people instead of you, it's still not a healthy building block for a long-term relationship. You shouldn't have to put up with unreasonable anger in a long-term relationship, no matter who it's directed at. Even in the best case scenario, you'll be consistently stressed out, and you'll feel like you have to walk on egg shells around your partner.
