What do you consider to be an ideal relationship?

Just curious what you folk think?

Since ending my relationship, I pondered my romantic relationships in general and noticed that I went into them and/or stayed in them, even when I knew they were not right for both of us. A lot of it was down to my issue with people pleasing and having this need to make the other person happy, even though I was unhappy.

I do not regret any of them as they have lead me to this point in my life. So how can that be a bad thing?!.

One where love is not possessive. One where you put your ego aside and your primary concern is for them and their well-being. If that means they leave you, you let them leave you. If that means they have sex with other men/women, you let them. If you try to stop them from doing either of these things, it should be out of concern for THEM, not your own selfish jealousy and insecurities.

What do you consider to be an ideal relationship?

A relationship with no ideals, just a simple relationship shared with the love that you are.

A relationship between two close friends, that respect, trust, and have open communication with eachother, and genuine unconditional love works well for me.

Ideal? something built on a solid friendship.
something where you can be your total self.
trust fully.

The ideal?

Keeping love your priority, and communicating and letting go through anything that gets in its way.

That's a tough one, since everyone's version of "ideal" is different!
For me? The ideal relationship is one where the two of you balance each other, understand each other...where both of you want to be together, not because you don't feel " complete" as yourself - but because you both know that, together, the two of you form a more perfect "whole' than either of you does separately :)

An ideal realationshiop depends uniquely on each individual's own needs and wants.
For me, it is about feeling safe, having trust, being cherished, respect, friendship, and most importantly emotional connection.

IMO a relationship where there's communication, complete honesty, trust, total respect for the other, faithfulness, understanding, where both partners push each other to achieve their dreams and the best of them, both spiritually and physically. A relationship of not only lovers, but friends at the same time. Where they not only give to each other, but those around them.

An ideal relationship to me is one which truly feels sacred - acting as a catalyst for personal revolution, aimed to true Elevation, pursued consciously and responsibly, involving a common work of service to a higher purpose, while still retaining all the beauty and poetry of passion and feelings - beholding the Divine in the Other and longing to collapse duality into Oneness through Love. Something noble and divine, yet involving and emotionally intense.
