committed by the victim’s current or former spouse, current or former cohabitant,

protected under domestic or family violence law.<\/p>
Dating violence means violence by a person who has been in a romantic or

determined by its length, type, and frequency of interaction.<\/p>

Setting boundaries about your personal space and lifestyle are a must. A good partner will want to see you grow and support you in a positive way. Setting boundaries creates the tone to your relationship. Building any relationship takes time.<\/p>
Listen to your partner with respect and be a good listener. Talk to your partner and be clear about what you want. You will not always agree and that is okay but BE CLEAR. Truly mean what you are saying.<\/p>
Be yourself don\u2019t try to be someone else. The right person will accept you for who you are.<\/p>
Love and treat others the way you want to be treated; this may be cliche but sometimes we need a reminder to be kind and respect one another.<\/p>
Sometimes being honest can be a challenge, unless you don\u2019t mind being blunt. Even when being honest can make you feel uncomfortable or make you feel like you don\u2019t want to hurt the other persons feelings, be honest about things in a relationship. Be clear on what you need from your partner so they can decide what they need in a relationship. Remember that it is okay to disagree. We are all different with different opinions and personalities.<\/p>
