Healthy+Relationships

Overview === I've known Ryan for three years and have been dating him for one and a half. We’ve been through our ups and downs like in any relationship but through it all we’ve stayed true to each other and loved each other more than anything ===

Appearance of the relationship === Internal: From the inside it is a very healthy relationship and we are both really happy. We don’t go around holding hands and cuddling all the time and it's not because we don’t love each other we just don’t want to take things to fast. ===

Our symbol === To symbolize our relationship I would choose a fairy tale. I have struggled through depression and anxiety but he still thinks I'm a princess, and he is my knight in shining armor who saved me from my tower ===

Strengths

Overcoming difficulties === There have been some trust issues due to past events but we decided to leave the past in the past and not let it affect us and our happiness. There have been remarks from our peers that don’t support our relationship, but we look past it and focus on each other === Benefits === To me: He supports me and gives me love which I haven’t had a lot of. He makes me extremely happy and makes me feel special and wanted. No matter what I may be going through he is always there fro me and I am there for him. It gives me a sense of purpose realization of my worth. I often call him my Anti-Depressant because he has made me way happier than any drug the doctor has given me ===
