….and other things we love right now

Relationship wisdom

When you want to be wise in relationships, it helps to keep your Fundamental Human Rights in mind. The following things are not too much to ask—they are your right:

You have the right to be treated with respect.

You have the right to express your feelings, opinions and wants.

You have the right to set your own priorities.

You have the right to say “no” without feeling guilty.

You have the right to get what you pay for.

You have the right to have opinions different than others.

You have the right to take care of and protect yourself from being threatened physically, mentally or emotionally.

You have the right to create your own happy and healthy life.

These rights were composed by Preston Ni and inspired by the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights; laws in democratic nations protecting against abuse, exploitation, and fraud; and the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights.

Mr. Ni referenced these rights in a helpful article you may be interested in called How to Successfully Handle Aggressive and Controlling People.

Linda had this to say on Facebook recently:

“About those red flags: Are you ignoring them or paying attention? Humans–women, especially–CRAVE connection over everything else. Often at the expense of true happiness.

I love seeing reviews from users of The Boyfriend Log app… showing me that my long season of relationship drama has resulted in clarity for so many others. Ahhh. Here’s to greener pastures, loves. xo”

Have a wonderful weekend! And, here’s hoping all of your rights are being respected, and that what you’re settling for is truly in your best interests! If you’re not so sure, remember to take a minute each day to use The Boyfriend Log… because you can’t change that which you’re not aware of. xo
