Does Bae Respect Your Boundaries?
During the Workshop, they discussed about the characteristics of a healthy relationship
such as communication, trust, respect, and have a balanced relationship. That when being in a
healthy relationship you feel comfortable and secure around each other, support one another, not
be violent with each other, and also resolving conflicts. The characteristics of a bad relationship
is ridicule or call each other names, being possessive or jealous, use physical force or threats
against the other, blackmailing, and make the other feel bad about themselves. They also talked
about Habit 4 think win-win, by being mature, having the courage to ask what you want and ask
for it. Based off of think win-win is agreeing with each other on a certain situation that they are
comfortable with. If youre in a committed relationship you should respect certain boundaries
and their important values. That you should be confident about what you really want from your
partner. Then talked about Habit 5 to seek to understand than to be understood to prepare about
what youre going to say to that person and it can be questions that are going through your mind.
You dont want the significant other to pretend to listen or listen to certain parts of the
conversation because that demonstrates the lack of communication. If you look at each others
point of view then there is a high level of trust in the relationship. They also showed scenarios
explaining each situation and want to ask the audience whether or not is the relationship is
healthy or not. The audience give out their opinions based on what they person should do in the

situation to make the relationship balanced and better. They also illustrated some picture of how
relationships are portrayed and how we take our cues when looking at reality TV shows, friends,
and parents.
