Healthy relationships recognize each person's right to explain themselves. Stay with the topic. Don't use a current concern as a reason to jump into everything that bothers you. Healthy relationships don't use ammunition from the past to fuel the present. It goes a long way in making things right again.
Healthy relationships can admit mistakes.
Don't assume things. When we feel close to someone it's easy to think we know how he or she thinks and feels. Healthy relationships check things out. Ask for help if you need it. Check campus resources like Counseling Services at 532-6927.
