Do you believe that you have the following rights?

* To feel respected as a person,

* To get your physical and emotional needs met,

* To be appreciated and not taken for granted,

*To communicate effectively with your partner/freinds/other

* To have your privacy respected,

* To not constantly fight for control,

* To feel good about yourself and your relationships

* To trust validate, and support each other,

* To grow within and outside of your relationships,

* To have your own opinions and thoughts,

* to either stay in or leave the relationship,

As you may know, rights are neither respected nor acknowledged unless someone stands up for them. So ask yourself, are you ready to stand up for your rights?
